Digit is Digit. I love her. I knew her online from wallstreetbets and she disappeared while going through some shit. I keep needing proof she's safe. To anyone I've ever treated unfairly, I apologize.

That's what I meant lol. Simple at the code level. But that's part of why there are a lot of times others don't work at all and satellite does. Still much room for improvement of course

Simplicity. Satellite seems focused on reliability. It's one of the only web clients you can use from webpositive browser on haikuOS for example

To be clear, the race to copy Wikipedia to a decentralized network could happen anyway and be advantageous for some wikitext-based new thing. I just doubt it will happen with NIP-54 in its current state. MediaWiki is complex and decentralizing it is a gargantuan task, especially with all Wikipedia's extensions; the current version of NIP-54 might be attractive enough to keep the critical mass of interested people focused on building up the new wiki from empty by hand.

If the NIP-54 wikis drop markdown to adopt asciidoc, we get a race to the first functional-enough decentralized wiki with Wikipedia already copied onto it.

A wiki using wikitext will probably win. Wikitext is almost as bad as asciidoc - it has all the same flaws except it's already had mass adoption so it's got a purpose for compatibility's sake.

If converting wikitext articles to asciidoc articles can be automated and done fast enough, maybe the NIP-54 wikis with asciidoc will win the race, which is shitty because people won't be able to just copy and paste between different platforms unless other platforms also force users to adopt this asciidoc trash.

Using wikitext in the first place for compatibility would have been great despite wikitext's issues but markdown is the best alternative and it's shocking to hear a suggestion to switch post-release to some completely awful new thing. It's lucky fiatjaf dodged this bullet until now and made NIP-54 good in the first place because none of my wiki entries would even be on nostr if NIP-54 used asciidoc from the start.

I'm here to smoke marijuana, eat cheetos, and masturbate. And I'm all out of Cheetos 😎

If I live long enough with one still being needed, it will get made, but it might be me hiring someone instead of making it myself. I have something like OCD that really slows me down or blocks me when I try to code

I knew what that said before translating, what the heck?? Your German must be rubbing off on me lol

Mans broke images on wikistr and wants to change to something with wikitext's problems but without wikitext compatibility πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

I was thinking about Bitcoin investing in relation to our nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz project.

Most Nostr development is quick-n-dirty development, because the users are extremely impatient and the funds generally don't flow until you have something tangible to show an audience. We decided to go more slow-n-steady, but that means my outlays at the beginning and during development won't be recuperated until the first full release. Which could take a year or longer. If Bitcoin goes parabolic between here and then, I'm sorta screwed.

So, I decided to write for sats, using the knowledge I'm gaining as member of GitCitadel and generally increasing the quality of my writing, to recoup my outlays over a different channel, parallel to the development.

If an open source decentralized git takes off thanks to you, I'm pretty sure you'll be set for life & money will be the least of your worries

I am definitely not doing articles in asciidoc format lmao

Fiatjaf is a crackhead sometimes fr

I don't find that insane. To me, it's ultimately a promise to defeat thermodynamics and reverse entropy someday in the distance of human achievement.

I don't like this. If it has to change, why not wikitext for compatibility with existing wikis? Is asciidoc easier than markdown to convert back and forth with wikitext? NIP-23 is at least staying markdown right? Please reassure me 😒

Wait I meant less likely not more likely

Fuck

Don't steal my Nintendo 64 wallet please

According to xibaotimes@zaps.lol the name "CCP" was more widely used than "CPC" even in China until after the pandemic started

Is this true? What have been some of the most prominent examples of Chinese officials using either translation? πŸ€”
