Happy birthday. My granddaughter turned 12 yesterday.

Remember when XenSource (Xen) was going to catch up with VMWare (pre-Citrix)?

Yes, that was something most pump.io clients figured out. Hopefully nostr clients also figure that out.

Certain BOTS belong in BOTcatraz. Others can be okay in limited quantities.

McDonald's has terrible food, but today feels like 90⁰F and they sell 'frozen Coke' slushies.

Most boycotts don't last long, but according to the article, this one is still hindering ABInBev's sales months later. This may become a case study for business schools.

Whenever I'm shopping with / for one of my granddaughters, I send lots of photos to a female friend. She responds with get this, don't get that. It really helps.

Improved easy-to-use filtering (possibly including autofiltering of potentially illegal content) in clients would go a long way toward solving that. It could be decided during initial set up.

Also, relay operators could be on the hook for such content. Hopefully the developers of relay software are already working on moderation tools.

First you invent a time machine. Then you go forward in time to the desired date, generate the encryption key, tell you of that time what the key is, then come back in time and encrypt the data.

So yeah, you’ve posed some significant challenges. I suppose zero knowledge proofs have already been considered for the second one.

There’s room for both of them, but extremists on both sides refuse to concede that neither group has anywhere else to go and that therefore any solution must include BOTH of them living there in the land.

And this means that Hamas (with its kill all the Jews and others living there goal) is a major obstacle to any lasting peace.

I don't play games enough to have any recommendations.

#Amethyst is the only #Nostr client in F-Droid so far.

I may give up phone posting.

If you’re trying to “make your vote count”, you need to be that one vote that puts the winner ahead. On the other hand, if you want your vote to help make things better, vote for the one candidate most aligned with your views, even if the candidate is not part of the #twin_parties ™️.

There's a reason people create new socnets all the time. The old ones don't meet all their needs. It's time for bridges, multiprotocol servers and multiprotocol / API clients, so people get the benefits of their desired protocol and can still reach their contacts who use other protocols.

The goal is to take away enough people so corpocentric networks lose their ubiquity and begin to collapse. Being partisan about AP or Nostr or ATProto doesn't help. We're all in it together.

He's being myopic again. Protocols, not sites / apps. One site can speak multiple protocols and be part of multiple networks. And bridges can help where the app developers don't.

Every person who uses a decentralized network--any decentralized network--helps all others by legitimizing protocols instead of #corpocentric social sites. Each network can learn from the others and evolve closer to each other.

If we think the protocol is unchangeable, we'll fail to fix its most annoying flaws, which will eventually start chasing devs and admins away, taking users with them.

I don't remember Hulu having any public domain content, but I remember watching lots of 1960s and 1970s shows.

This is not the way to persuade developers to change their software's behavior. Not for Mastodon, not for Nostr, not for Bluesky.

Try it with Twitter / X and see how it gets.

Wow. You're about the same age as my kids. I thought you were older.

I'm still active over there, so I do follow a few of my contacts across the bridge.

That said, I think Fediverse people have different privacy expectations than Nostr people, so bridge blocking is also happening via various fedi instances.

What's Reddit?
