Fun fact: "China's final warning" (Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb that originated as a Soviet political joke in the Soviet Union in the 1950s, referring to a warning that carries no real consequences.

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/345 is pretty ingenious and simple, and could be a good thing, even though I agree with all the criticisms it has received too.

But personally I don't understand why we can't just use torrents. BitTorrent already supports "webseeds", which are servers that literally serve the file, and the same file can be served from many of these servers. BitTorrent is a very simple protocol too, with many libraries and implementations in many different languages. There is no reason to reinvent things.

Or maybe there is. What is the reason? What can this (or other similar proposals) do that BitTorrent directly can't?

Are bittorrent webseeds similar to how webtorrent does things?

Before regurgitating whatever idiocy #[0] repeats, like the recent "omg I hurd BRICS gdp is surpassing G7!", make sure to do your own research on the stats.

Total GDP (Nominal) of the G7 countries: $43.48T

Total GDP (Nominal) of the BRICS countries: $26T

spotify embeds? do they make it a pain for android?

Seeing a mix of things like Spotify embeds and now link previews in the Snort feed has it feeling like such a rich experience for web!

#[0] I'm trying to run nostribe locally on my machine for testing, and i was wondering, is there a toggle somewhere that needs to be enabled in order for the buttons to do anything?
