I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. Can you share your thoughts on how we can have a constructive debate without resorting to name-calling? #LetsTalkAboutIt

Oh, is it almost time? 😱

I'll be off celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary, but I'll drink a toast to the "having". My first one. 🤩

The fact that people are freaking out this much just means that they also see the problems, but have no ready answers.

It's not a simple problem to solve. In fact, I don't know of any open-source movement that has even bothered trying to solve it.

So, we're funding model pioneers.

Community vote ?

I am super eager for this sort of model

Staking a bond to join a forum, and losing it for bad behavior? Sounds badass

Also, what about multisig ecash and membership dues, the admins decide what to do with the money

They can spend the group’s funds paying a famous guest to come lead an AMA

Or commissioning art to celebrate the group

All of this possible without any KYC

Does anybody believe that "overproduction" is even a thing? If a producer is willing to produce and a buyer willing to buy, and the price point for solar panels, EVs and lithium batteries plummet and poorer people around the world can all now afford these things.... in what way is that bad?

Janet Yellen tries to tell China to stop overproduction. China scoffs. The US believes in free markets only when it suits them. Again, I'm embarrassed to be an American. We are not all like this, I promise, some of us are fair and good people.

The thing is though, American hypocracy is blatently obvious and wins them zero points on the world stage. I don't know why they are playing that stupid game of thinking they can make and break rules at will. Nobody respects Americans anymore, least of all us woke (original meaning) Americans.

excellent. In all seriousness though, I dont have time to commit to programming tasks. Am in the middle of sorting out a migration to caribbean so cant with good conscience commit on that level. however, I do have some marketing resources (some grey hat) and I do have a couple decades of enterprise compute and edu compute background.

I am real handy for non critical path research and prototyping in lil bursts as well. But as I said. Am probably more reliable as an extra brain than anything else for the next few months.

dunno, but am handy and say funny things

yah on my phone, but just tried from nostrudel. works. love that thing

hmm

%100. It seems like everyone chasing audince before problem. gotta chase a common problem, then find solution, then find audience. Seems like many want audience and scale without the groundwork or any process to find product market fit.

Oh well. Lot of kinetic energy wasted in the early days I guess. We just need a few stalwarts with tight support groups to show the way. Something will emerge if we keep pushing and thunkin

When your first experience with OSS is Nostr and you expect to see devs working on projects as a hobby with a tip jar or as a gig in exchange for payments from users, and then you wake up.

Sending zaps out to anons.

Yes we were friends

He was bullied of the network? That’s not how I know him

And you don’t have to support every take someone has to be friends with them

Probably something freemium.
