Supporting a decentralised future of sound money and technology. Study Bitcoin. Run a node! ITM!

Random Asian brand names apparently. Found under different names depending on where you look.

The case is really good, haven't had a chance to try the mag safe part. It seems the Amazon listings are harder to find, there's one version that I saw that did not have magsafe.

Was not able to find it on Amazon US. I ordered mine from AliExpress.

Here are some links.

Got this sweet case for my new Pixel 8a. Privacy for me and protection for the cameras!

A simple one or complex nation state voting system? Use formstr.app or nostr polls with 1 sat vote for a simple one😉

I think it would have to be a city wide marketing campaign. Stickers/flyers. I guess it could just be word of mouth, but that could take more time.

The great thing about a local economy is that new users can just use cash, or they can also use Bitcoin, which is actually easier system than digital bank payment systems (interac, etc where you have to have contact details). People don't have to use Bitcoin, but people could. Scan the QR and done.

Another option is people can choose Bitcoin only, so if their product is highly wanted they can onboard people.

Everyone I know is frustrated by the Facebook model because they have no rating system. It needs the ability to review the sellers and the buyers. I know the biggest pain point for a seller is buyers actually showing up to buy the product. If a rating is given, people are more likely to follow through because they'll be down voted if they don't follow through on their word.

Android Auto can be enabled, if you want.

Should work better locally. Looking to start a local one for my city. Not sure how the online stores are doing, shipping, etc seems like a pain. Facebook Marketplace needs to be retired.

Lot of people are starting to talk about building a web-of-trust and how nostr can or is already being used as such

We all know about using the kind:3 following lists as a simple WoT that can be used to filter out spam. but as we all know it does not really signal "trust", its mostly just "I find your content interesting"

But what about real "trust"... well its kind of multi-denominational, I could trust that your a good developer or a good journalist but still not trust you enough to invite you over to my house.

There are some interesting and clever solutions proposed for quantifying "trust" in a digital sense but I'm not going to get into that here. I want to talk about something that I have not see anyone discuss yet.

How is the web-of-trust maintained? or more precisely how do you expect users to update the digital representation of the "trust" of other users?

Its all well and good to think of how a user would create that "trust" of another user when discovering them for the first time. They would click the "follow" button, or maybe even rate them on a few topics with a 1/5 star system

But how will a user remove that trust? how will they update it if things change and they trust them less?

If our goal is to model "trust" in a digital sense then we NEED a way for the data to stay up-to-date and as accurate as possible. otherwise whats the use?

If we don't have a friction-less way to update or remove the digital representation of "trust" then we will end up with a WoT that continuously grows and everyone is rated 10/10

In the case of nostr kind:3 following lists. its pretty easy to see how these would get updated. If someone posts something I dislike or I notice I'm getting board of their content. then I just unfollow them.

An important part here is that I'm not thinking "I should update my trust score of this user" but instead "I'm no longer interested, I don't want to see this anymore"

But that is probably the easiest "trust" to update. because most of us on social media spend some time curating our feed and we are used to doing it.

But what about the more obscure "trust" scores? whats the regular mechanism by which a user would update the "honestly" score of another user?

In the real world its easy, when I stop trusting someone I simply stop associating with them. there isn't any button or switch I need to update. I simply don't talk to them anymore, its friction-less

But in the digital realm I would have to remove or update that trust. in other words its an action I need to take instead of an action I'm not doing. and actions take energy.

So how do we reflect something in the digital world that takes no-energy and is almost subconscious in the real world?

TLDR; webs-of-trust are not just about scoring other users once. you must keep the score up-to-date

I think one easy version is just to have "followed by" to at least confirm the account is likely the legit one. I used this all the time on Twitter to verify if the account that followed me was legit, it never was.

I've had to do similar after a year old SSD died on me... thankfully it was just after fees went back to "normal".

"Resumestr" is live! https://crafters.amethyst.social/

This is a basic version for desktops only. There are still a lot of little things to add, like the hiding of sections the author won't use, but it's getting there.

Feel free to fork the code and change the design for your own: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/crafters

The NIP for other clients is here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1200

This would replace the need for LinkedIn. I like the idea.
