bitcoiner, privacy enthusiast, nix user. Not setting zaps until there is non-DNS based way to do it.

The biggest difference for me is in censorship resistance.

On AP you have an account with a server and are at the mercy of the admins of that server. They can (and must) decide what gets deleted, and which other servers can peer with yours. E.g. many AP servers block Gab. The "community = server" model also let to some communities being shut down for being contraversial in some way.

With nostr your account is just a private key, meaning you are not tied to any relay, and your client even pulls from many simultaneously. This gives relays the freedom to block whatever content makes them uncomfortable without infringing on anyone's speech, since users can just pull it from somewhere else.

This isn't even what was claimed in court (and not charged). What happened was that a two cops posed as a blackmailer and a hitman, and put pressure on him to accept the offer from the hitman to take out the blackmailer, which he allegedly accepted (which again was not officially charged or found guilty).

Is there a reason you need to paste my full nostr pubkey into other apps to link them to your profile? Why is there no protocol where your client can sign a message saying "link this new child pubkey to my account with there priviledges"?

Looks as if the federal reserve has indeed reduced the frequency and lenght of recessions. But ignores cumulative damage of those recessions.

Creating and maintaining an effectively open-source fork of this despite the clear copyright violation would be a good test of the abilities of censorship resistant software development processes.

So, it would be nice if there was some way to determine who is "at fault" in the case of a force close, so that they end up being the one incentivised to pay the CPFP fee rather than whoever has the most to lose from an old state.

Between my window manager, tmux and neovim i think i'm finally hitting a limit on the numbers of keyboard shortcuts I can fit in my brain at one time. Keep pressing my vim leader key when I mean to hold meta to bring up a scratchpad window.

They basically made it a pain in the ass to find a torrent file, shut down any centralized service that makes it easier, or force them to use shady hosting that makes them hard to distinguish from phishing sites, etc.
