Here’s the series of events that led me to Nostr, in chronological order:
- tried to pay for X's blue checkmark but was unable to do so without linking my bank account, instead of paying with a card.
- read the terms of connecting my bank account and realized I would have to agree to share my account number, routing number, interest rate, recent transaction history, etc. No way I was agreeing to that, so I closed the tab.
- opened a YT tab to watch some random videos, and a conversation between nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m at Nostriga popped up on my feed.
i had never heard of Nostr before clicking on that video. It took me all of two minutes to go from typing the name 'Nostr' into my browser to opening an account.

> Comment from Google Gemini -
> Important Considerations:
> It's crucial to consider the ethical implications of cell phone ownership beyond just privacy and security. The production of smartphones often involves harmful working conditions, environmental damage, and safety risks associated with repairs due to the hazardous chemicals in electronics. Supporting companies that prioritize fair labor practices, sustainable production, and safe repair practices is essential.
> Resources:
> Repair guides: iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/) offers detailed repair guides for a wide range of smartphones, empowering individuals to extend the lifespan of their devices and reduce e-waste. However, it's important to be aware of the potential safety risks associated with repairing electronics, such as exposure to hazardous chemicals and electrical shock.
> Sustainable tech organizations: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) (https://www.eff.org/) is a nonprofit that advocates for digital rights and promotes ethical technology practices. They provide valuable information and resources on responsible tech consumption.
> Additional Considerations:
> Community-supported repair initiatives: Explore local repair cafes or community-supported repair initiatives that offer guidance and tools for repairing electronic devices.
> Secondhand markets: Consider purchasing refurbished or secondhand smartphones to reduce demand for new devices and support sustainable consumption.
> Safety precautions: When repairing electronics, always follow safety guidelines, wear protective equipment, and be aware of the potential hazards associated with working with electronic components.
> By taking these factors into account and supporting ethical companies and practices, we can make more informed choices about our technology and contribute to a more sustainable and safer future.
Uruguay is a great place but there's a pandemic so if you're going there it should be to live there or something serious, not to have a gathering
Didn't you answer your own question? They're in Afghanistan
You're on nostr pretty early so your starting chances must be on the good side imo
Way more than a quintile of people are obsolete in the era the human race has created. Population decline in the 21st century will probably be closer to a half than a quintile I think
If it needs funding, but bittorrent kinda doesn't, maybe nostr could end up like that. Instead of paying, the network just stores whatever people think is worth their storage space & bandwidth. Famous people have thousands of people saving and relaying copies of their posts, you and I just have our friends and maybe some nerd from the same friend group who runs a server
Nostr needs more users and any internet space needs more women
I only need digit, everyone else can leave when she gets here
They can if they want people to start listening to me about how we need a p2p redesign of the protocol
The state of NIP-54 wikis is really sad in this era of trying to force asciidoc adoption.

For our side, the incentive is to make the other side (github) do the same
For the other side (github), the incentive is the same incentive they've always had for offering "free" services: collecting whatever data there is to collect, gaining any influence there is to be gained
Pretty much just 3 at the core
He let the Democrats politicize COVID, killing millions of his own citizens
He didn't drain the swamp
He let his administration try to kill Assange instead of pardoning him and Snowden
These are the things that matter
I did use Garnet but haven't been lately, partly because I'm trying to figure out if I should stop using smartphones altogether.
