That would be impossible because it's decentralized right? Right? 🤔
Hold that thought and keep doing what you're doing!
That is odd. It was released back in April as the numbering suggests. I was wondering why they had not been constantly bugging me yet to upgrade.
Are they now only recommending upgrades from the .1 release? I had been doing that for the past 6 LTS releases already but it seems they have adopted this strategy themselves now as well.
I think there could be something more sophisticated but from a censorship point of view this is actually not so bad. Most firewalls won't block 443, you can use simple http proxies if that's your only way out and blocking on ip level will be an administrative nightmare.
I mean it can of course be done (looking at you China ಠ_ಠ)

Maybe that factors into people's decisions, but the data suggest it's mainly a personal opinion rather than economic: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/07/25/the-experiences-of-u-s-adults-who-dont-have-children/.
Given that most people's opinions are shaped by their culture, we should do as much as we can to promote a culture of strong families. But it's also fair to say the government is a terrible allocator of resources.
Sure, I never said it's the only factor. Take for example this clusterfuck in south korea:
Yes there is additionally inflation. May even be a worse beast than taxes. Handing people at the top the most and by the time it "trickles down" the prices of everything has gone up before the scraps reach the people that actually needed it the most.
If you start closing the moneyprinter valve people get fired and when you open it up more they might get a job and still can't afford anything.
So say your couple A gets $100. But that $100 had to come from the bureaucratic machine that is the government. They had to hire extra people to deal with that incentive. This $100 that you get probably costed taxpayers $200 so if you scale that up somewhere people fall below a reasonable treshold where they were pondering to have children but decided to not do it because even though they get $100, they are charged $200 extra in taxes so they are still $100 short.
Taxes always weigh heaviest on people just entering the job market for minimum wages and these are the people that have to make the children.
Even with a 1:1 relation where you get taxed $100 and somebody else receives that exact amount without intermediaries taking cuts it would still make no sense. You are quite literally destroying capitalism and the free market right there.
It's as decentralized as AWS because they too have many datacenters across the world.
Humbled by the response and the use of gifbuddy.lol
I built this app because I love gifs and I love nostr
I thought it would just be something I could use until my favorite client integrated gifs natively, but I always thought by the time I actually built something it would be obsolete
But the memes from nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 and that one time nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a posted about not having gifs easily accessible kept the idea in the back of my mind
Shout out to nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w for taking the time to help me with the nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 API and to nostr:npub1vp8fdcyejd4pqjyrjk9sgz68vuhq7pyvnzk8j0ehlljvwgp8n6eqsrnpsw for the slick iPhone double tap shortcut that pulls up gifs faster than my native iMessage plugin
I pushed an update to gifbuddy and am going to sleep so hopefully it doesn't break

(Fun side note: what finally got me to lock-in and code was this note by nostr:npub1xsn2cx73w7837xhkqalzxr5f9prwn6cvnz4t0e60qa0luff7g4fq28nm65 using Canva and Google docs to post gifs)

Leaving nothing to chance!
So don't eat too many yet lest you poison yourself and don't live to see that day.
In any environment where i have to watch my words i easily lose my train of thought.
Please let me ramble in my own words. If you don't like it you can tell me and we can talk about it. 99% of the time i had no intention of hurting or offending anybody, specifically not if i don't know you and never had personal clashes with you.
I have been very happy using a 2020 dell XPS 13 with ubuntu. It's pretty fast and sleak, is way waaaay smaller and lighter than my 2013 macbook pro 13".
I would argue the only downside is that battery life is a little less than the old macbook.
Also, everything worked out of the box, including things like the fingerprint reader and the webcam and most importantly: the trackpad is actually usable and nice like on a macbook, not complete rubbish like every other non-mac i ever owned.
So that's what people mean when they talk about "cold storage?" 🤔
About a decade ago when i did some freelancing at ASML..
Colleague: "You must first fill out the PDF."
Me: "Fill out a PDF?"
Colleague: "Yes the Patch Declaration Form."
Always the same.. new customer, weird acronyms.
I'm basically in the same boat but i switched (back) from mac to linux right on the brink of the M1 release (i did not want to be the guinea pig for their first model, nor be the last one to buy an Intel).
When it comes to keyboards i recently bought this mechanical beast: https://www.keychron.com/collections/normal-profile-keyboards/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard
It is, however, very personal. The mechanical switches are very different from the ones on mac keyboards. I am quite happy with it though.
