Don‘t hype the buzzwords blockchain/dApp and SmartContracts to much. It is not about them.
Every IT network is „interconnected“ and has „participants“, developers.
SmartContracts are just if/then functions
DApps are just apps and don’t require Blockchain do be decentralized or are even decentralized just because they are using blockchain.
Interoperability is also another buzzword. Every protocol is just build to enable communication between devices what is basically nothing else than interoperability.
Am I right #wikinostr #wikifreedia and #wikistr are 3 „wikipedia like“ clients for #nostr ?
Are there others as well? Maybe not just web-based clients?
Or can I find wiki articles in clients like #nostrudel

I would say the „language“ most animals are using is only triggering instincts of each other.
Also humans do this:
E.g. a smile that is universal
Every year it gets easier being a fiat millionaire.
Every year it gets harder being a Satoshi millionaire
I did not even knew this conjunction before, but got it after 4 tries…
Only luck of course, usually it takes me 6 (or more 😂)
I guess this is a client setting. But is there any client the end user can select the sort option of notes? #asknostr
Language is evolving. Not I am changing the definition, society does.
If you want to avoid misunderstanding, it is important to add precise references (Like in physics when we say „according to xy“) or explain the context, when using vague terms like left or right. There is no precise overall definition for them.
Nazis named themselves socialists and political right oriented, so that is a fact for sure.
And I agree often we have to find terms we can use as a reference to describe complex ideas.
Anyhow these terms are often used in a lot of different situations and often pushed into a new framing for „marketing“ without being specific.
That’s why these terms alone are imo not „ideal“ for describing things. You always need to add information or references to explain what you really mean.
E.G. terms like „socialism is is the opposite of right“ (what is often the current political situation) and „extreme right is socialism“ (what was the situation for political parties in the „Deutsche Reich“) are both wrong in general, but can be useful if you add the specific context.
Left and right, socialism, capitalism. These words are ALL not well defined. They can be used to explain moral concepts or political strategies. But then it still will be vague. Most times these words are just used for finger pointing/ finding an enemy.
If you want a real discussion, just don’t use this words and explain your though with words that are not charged with emotions.
And discussing the definition of these terms is just a waste of time.
Ok I must admit on first view #nostrudel was a bit complex for me. But after lurking around for a while I must say it’s awesome what have been built here.

Hey my girl looks like all the bitties
I think this will never get old.

Hi all,
in my wider circle of acquaintances someone sent me a call for donations for a young family with a few weeks old baby girl. They had a cruel stroke of fate. The father died in a car accident (proven no fault of his own).
The brother of the dead guy opened a call on gofundme.com.
What is quite easy to use (via paypal). You can even choose to have very small amounts and 0 fees (for gofundme).
But this process needs a lot of middlemen
You->Bank->Paypal->gofundme->donate requestor->donate receiver
And gofundme is financed by donations only.
So I am wondering if nostr/BTC/lightning won’t be a better way for such calls.
What if I want to open a donation call for them via nostr? What would be the best approach to reduce middlemen, required trust and fees?
(They are nocoiners/ precoiners)

Wtf… every day here I see something new what makes me think „btc and/or nostr is gonna change everything“
Be aware that is not a really proper description.
Do you talk about the band gap?
It is basically the energy that is required for a to metalliod to be conductive (measured in electron volt eV).
It is dependent to the direction of the current. In a diode it the band gap is high in one direction but low in the other one. So the band gap is a energy gap.
Won‘t you still require a SIM card to connect your GLinet Travel Router to the internet?
Looking forward to a society where noone accepts such behavior.
Where doxxing people get in real trouble not the doxxed one.
