Soil programmer and code pruner. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools you have. Liberty over freedom. Community is security. The antidote to fear is confidence.

Ah, so it's cocnut water with an elaborate label. Good stuff! I assumed it would have additives, but I was wrong.

Of course, I'm joking in response to the first comment.

There are different reasons for different languages. If you choose a currently used language, you'll be fine. When starting out, it's more important to learn basic concepts than it is to know (or avoid) a particular language.

If the language you're learning is popular, there will be more resources available. After you are able to write simple programs, you may find that a different language suits your needs better. If so, go for it. Most devs have experience with multiple languages, and most common programming languages are very similar to each other.

Design is almost a separate world, but there is some crossover.

Are these people victims of a fire? Or is this Photoshopped? I'm confused.

John Carpenter is certainly a master of creating the right vibe by making his own score. It always amazes me.

This is an example of what I described earlier.

If Eliza had chosen to hide her identity, instead of shining brighter, I don't think she would be safer, or more effective.

I don't think I could be more impressed by this video. Download and spread it to every place you can.

Satoshi Nakamoto's brilliance was not dimmed by him hiding behind a pseudonym, neither was the creator of Nostr. When you have good ideas, they can break through any barrier. Just look at how many are using nostr and bitcoin to this day, even without knowing who created them! Ideas are humanity's most powerful weapon.

I don't believe Satoshi hid because of fear of persecution, assassination, etc. I think he knew that fame is a curse.

There is a difference in context here, and you've done a good job of completely missing my point.

Personal data is by no means the only thing that makes users valuable for a platform.

The mere fact that they are there, that they watch ads and that they interact with other users (a small percentage of whom will pay as a result) would be of great economical value on its own.

> Paid users and monetized users are off-topic here.

The claim that "users are the product" is the closest to being true when we consider the main business model of these platforms: ads.

Advertisers aren't buying data, per se. Data can be use to target ads. But even if it weren't, the only reason advertisers join the platform is because many users, most of which are not paying, are there.

There isn't a product, there is a service. And the service is the ad space. But the (usually non-paying) user is the only thing that makes that space valuable to begin with.

And this stands true for other paid features that have nothing to do with advertisements.

> You can hide your IP on any platform. At least we agree that hiding your identity has nothing to do with the protocol.

Your IP is effectively the only thing you share by default if you use Nostr.

Do you know what you are sharing if you are using a proprietary app which connects to mainstream media?

How? You can only trust their claims. Your knowledge on this is no stronger than their honesty.

If you use Nostr you don't need to share anything which you aren't specifically trying to share, except your IP. You can more easily verify exactly what you are sharing.

The protocol is important because the fact that the protocol is open and simple is what allows you to use any client of your choice or even write your own.

I never claimed that it was "the only thing that makes users valuable".

You keep making strawman arguements, which is distasteful and disrespectful.
