Those 80s vibes...

Setup your LN address so you can receive zaps.

Had to protect the crops. Good farming instincts.

Not really, but who am I to argue with Mr. Biggums?

So https://www.deepl.com turned out to be a KYC demanding, fiat-only service. Yes, even if you want to ONLY use FREE API.

I’ll be taking a closer look at https://libretranslate.com/ , thank you very much!

Gross. I thought DeepL was alright, but that's shitty.

Let’s take a minute to appreciate what the #plebchain is doing on nostr and why it will be difficult for traditional social media inflooencers to make the jump…

A lot of normies are followers, they struggle with learning anything new and will wait for someone else to figure something out before making a change. Change is hard for most people.

Knowing that people resist change, big Inflooencer get stuck on platforms because only the die hards followers would move with them to a new platform. The vast majority of people will not make the switch.

But the fallacy is that you need all those followers. The die hard followers are the ones who engage. They are the ones that should be catered to, not the masses that just follow and consume content.

But the current system is built on an advertising model that monetizes the people who follow and consume, they are valuable in this system and are hard to ditch.

People don’t know how to monetize a non advertisement based system yet, and that’s what we are doing here on nostr. We are building value for value. V4V is about community, listening to wants and needs, and selling something of value, not just being present and flashy for fake engagement.

Once we figure this out, these inflooencers will have to make a choice. Do they want to pivot? or ride the dying platform to the ground? They will be the ones facing change.

All I know is that we plebs will be positioned well for the future. PV.

Thanks to #[1]​ and #[2]​ for the contributions to this post.

Welcome to nostr. If you want a really good example of how a ministry has successfully embraced and prospered from Bitcoin and distributed networks check out any of the Podcasting 2.0 enabled ministries on podcastindex.org

Yareta (Azorella compacta), also known as "Llareta" in Spanish, is a 3,000-year-old flowering plant native to the cold Puna grasslands of the Andes at altitudes between 3,200 and 4,500 meters (10,500 - 14,750 ft). Its tightly compacted growth habit is an adaptation to its high elevation lifestyle which helps it prevent heat and water loss in these windy environments.

Almost all of the instructors that I've spoken with about ChatGPT are worried about the ability of students to fabricate essays. I've tried to explain that if they just teach students how to use it to bootstrap and then iterate on their own writing it is immensely powerful. If your students are fabricating their essays even with that assistance available maybe that says something about your curriculum...

Being able to feed a partially complete set of lyrics in along with a bracketed description of generally what I want the missing parts of the song to convey and the audio vibe that would be present is incredible. I like noodling and pondering the English language as much as the next nostrich, but sometimes you just need that paragraph or verse to be done so that you can move on to something else.

This is one of the many reasons that I alwaysnopt to fix things when possible. When I see a piece if electronics scrap on the side if the road I think of it like a lost disheveled dog. This results in me picking up alot of stuff, but also saving it from being undifferentiated and ignored waste. There's always a family who would benefit from a display that I fixed, or a project that I could use a power adapter for.

I think that configurable file storage on relays would be a great idea. As one of the Chinese commenters pointed out, this would allow them to more easily bypass the great firewall. It would also presumably do the same for many other users in countries that are similarly restricted. A covert silk road for memes in and out you might say.
