Fair, I just argue the anachronistic formatting makes it unsuitable for everyday exchanges, eg. setting up appointments, work discussions, bug reports. I want no storytelling with loud visuals, I want brief, simple sentences I can instantly address.
What about email itself?
Who wants text in letter format, unless for overwrought romantic or sentimental gestures?
Instant message, call, or wait to meet in person.
Incredible idea, first time I have ever heard of such an approach for livestreams, real time cloaking to digital cameras, ingenious.
From my casual observer perspective, the NYT, like any conventional company, depend on the economy of inflationary currency and constant growth expectancy to continue. This dependency forbids them to sabotage their framework and themselves, by fairly assessing the POW concept and BTC.
Why generate outrage over a company acting in an interest of self preservation?
Why use PGP instead of sending the note as a DM, and use the recipient nsec?
Thanks for the explanation.
Conversely though, if iOS offers such a non invasive option, why does practically any app that involves image picking ask for full Photos access permissions?
I also disabled Photos access in the Damus settings for testing, and the image picker still shows up with my entire Library visible and available.
How does this even work technically?
I always assumed Apple had provisions in the API to prevent this. Do app permission work entirely on a good faith, voluntarily level?
That would make me pretty concerned.
I thought only relays determine note propagation. What prevents users from choosing different relays within the same client?
The intro of the Lana del Rey single released today? Or something completely different?
Or the conversation could move back to constructive discussions, like r/bitcoin had years ago.
Perhaps fewer smart users, but numbers that help size up the scale of an issue.
I do this with Reddit too, also just old habits I guess
A lot to unpack here, but may I suggest that any complex system, electronic or otherwise. depends on certain mechanics working. Banknotes need pretty complicated fabrication and distribution.
I am not a programmer, though I have written a few applications at university years ago.
I just say, what speaks against making an outdated system more electronic and consistent, as long as people already have a viable independent option with BTC.
Different take, but sounds reasonable to me, unlike the feigned terror before CBDCs. I just say, let them try, they might feel the need to suddenly get honest.
Anyway, thanks for sharing something original and constructive to the discussion.
If we had no viable technological alternative to CBDCs with a POW currency, BTC, I would argue for maintaining historic methods too. But since we do, let the conventional system expose itself transparently with CBDCs, and make the alternative obvious. You lose the need for evangelizing, for “Orange pilling”, the technical distinctions immediately become self evident. A BTC standard, “Hyperbitcoinization” move from hypothetical to practical.
Careful, some of these bricks seem about to drop.
