The psychopaths will.
Tomorrow is the day I start with that too.
Good first day back to work.
Added math expressions rendering support to Frankie.
Completed my first android app built with svelte and capacitor with a few lines if code and no android / java bs, all in the same comfortable svelte environment with pure javascript and (tailwind) css only. I want to build two experimental stuff...
But we were told only autocracies are bad and arrest people that do not comply and democracies are always good and do not do those things.
Also democracies only do wars to defend other countries and eventually liberate them from their own dictators, and absolutely not for imperialistic reason or to maintain hegemony.
I've been told that many times. Is that not true?
Before the Nostr and HoneyBadger conference, I had to build lots of things and the backlog was long.
Now I have to build so much more stuff.
Energized, yes, but already overwhelmed!
As ODELL said, we must focus on the birthrate of new open source developers. I think I should start breeding them. At least AI generated.
Oh, boy, that's one more task!
I think the hardest thing to solve is put a Signer app (authenticator? identity? ) in the end of all users. Like Amber or similar.
Without that, user will struggle to understand - or just be able to - use the same account everywhere if not by some dumb and dangerous copy-paste of nsec here and there.
It should be a collective effort from devs to do more than just provide the alternative to the user, rather to educate new ones and encouraging such an approach.
Users are familiar with third-party authentication having used "social" logins for long over a decade and people normally love it.
This is an area where the industry should cooperate strongly. Maybe we should even setup a small online meetup on the topic, or a "signer apps day" of some sort.
What power does the Oslo Forum has?
Organic is great indeed.
But is missing the user content. Locations are all there but with no reviews one need to go somewhere else to evaluate them. And the reliability of Google maps reviews is probably the best out there.
Very hard to replicate or import. Huge problem.
It's great but not enough. It's a mandatory requirement.
What's missing is the UX which must be at least as good (simple) as for a centralised proprietary service.
YouTube and Maps are the two most problematic platforms to get away from.
Because of the content, not the tech, obviously.
Still we gonna start somewhere.
For the maps there's OpenStreetMaps and the Organic Maps app.
For YouTube I would start with something like NewPipe to stream from multiple sources, one being something like nostr / blossom / podcast3. 0 with video.
Then offering creators a simple migration from YouTube to a new open storage / video distribution channel where they can be zapped.

In Riga for #nostriga.
See you people tomorrow at the pre-party at the Basement.
Musk has good intentions and is obviously unbelievably intelligent but he does not seem to grasp the nature of The United States, an empire and the global hegemon since decades.
And he does hit seem to fully understand Bitcoin either.
Long and non trivial topics.
Naaa :)
Since using GPT I have to search rather than chat probably 10% of the time.
In Jan 2020 (4.5 years ago 😱) I made the most important step towards de-google-ization moving to @ProtonMail as primary Inbox (https://x.com/ildella/status/1214459500620632064)
I was already using @DuckDuckGo since years as default (and only) search.
Today is good day to start a final attack to the big one: Maps.
I'll start from the end.
1) Cryptocurrency or "crypto" has just become a word to describe alternative versions of Bitcoin - which are all failed experiments or - mostly - scams.
Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system and the word cryptocurrency is not used in the white paper at all. Also blockchain is not used, still people used that word for everything.
It might be ok to use it in casual conversations? Yes. But Bitcoin is NOT a cryptocurrency because there is no such thing as a crptocurrrency.
2) I see your general point about software stay agnostic from value transfer of any kind, including Bitcoin in any form. My post - which was not a scientific paper rather just a "thought of the moment" - is about "hey, maybe it should". And even if I see your points and mostly agree, at the same time I think it might be better the other way around. Bitcoin can be transformative in the way humans interact, and zaps here are a first example. I totally see that happening for books, articles, chats, videos, songs and, yes, software packages and software apps and so on...
Why embedded? Because if that means more money flow and flow from consumers / users to producers / makers... that's a good thing as the outcome is important.
There are downside? Probably. Again, it was just a shout, open for discussion. Glad to have this one.
