It doesn't, that's your wallet provider asking for it. With primal or wallet of satoshi you connect a wallet with nostr, without providing personal info.

Agree, kids always find ways, but denormalizing "unwanted" behavior (again gambling, alcohol, sustainability) can help awareness, if you will, with parents which they bring over to their children. It is not a holy grail, that does not exist, but it contributes, like education to what, as a society, we find acceptable and unacceptable behavior.

GM!

β€œSo in one way it is a β€œformat war” like VHS/Beta and for now Threads/Mastodon/etc are on one side, BlueSky on the other. But I actually think and hope that ATProto and Activitypub build out more and more interoperability, so it all becomes like open email: and no-one much cares if it is pop3 protocol or imap protocol and eventually it all just works as one big β€œopen social web.” β€œ

GA!

We might be better off as humanity when toning down technology and NOT onboard children in (anti-)social media, but stimulate interaction in the physical world. I like nostr and its possibilities, but te me it is only meaningful when my physical life improves by it.

Look, you’re entrenched in your rightist ideas.

Your rightist ideas are also retarded.

Hence, you’re retarded.

I didn’t pivot, just called out your retardation.

Also, your retardation doesn’t change the fact that your argument is retarded.

That type of thinking is, wait for it, retarded.

Look what happened, your argument can be completely reversed, thus rendering it invalid as a argument in the first place. Bye, sleep well and have a nice life

I'm still amazed at how the unicorn fart theory of energy production people simply will not accept reality. Energy density, transmission, storage, none of it will penetrate their skulls. The convos tend to go like this:

Solar and wind produce intermittently and we have no storage capacity for when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.

BUT FREE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY WILL SAVE GAIA!

Exactly how will people be able to heat/cool their homes, refrigerate/cook their food without electricity?

THE PLANET IS BOILING AND WE MUST SAVE IT.

Even if every car were magically to become electric overnight, the grid would not be able to generate/transmit enough power to charge those vehicles. Rolling blackouts would become common and substation and other components would start to fail more frequently as they became overworked/overheated/overloaded.

THE GRID WILL DO WHATEVER ITS GOING TO DO WE MUST STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS WITHIN DAYS TO SAVE THE PLANET.

=============================

If we revamped our entire economy to start building solar panels/farms and wind turbines/farms, it would take us 25-30 years to be able to generate the electricity we need NOW. For the record, it seems unlikely that our energy needs will decrease during that time. And by that time, the solar panels put online today would need replacing. Which brings me to another point: exactly where are we going to get the solar panels? China? The amount needed will be staggering and you should know that the manufacture of said panels requires a lot of rare earth materials. And they aren't called "rare" ironically. This completely ignores the concrete, steel, and other equipment needed for generation and transmission. Also, for this to work, some magical storage mechanism that can be mass produced, cheaply and quickly, will have to be handwaved into existence.

I really wish there were some easy answers. There aren't. There are only tradeoffs until/unless we get some brand new energy breakthrough like, say, fusion, which has been only 10-15 years away for the last 50 years or so. People should accept this reality.

Why yes, I am pro-nuclear. Duh. And yes, I think the SMRs and advanced reactors, especially breeders, are the answer. Or maybe thorium reactors because that would mean that we would have enough energy for probably a thousand years or more. Oddly, many of the unicorn fart generation people oppose nuclear. I do see that changing now somewhat and hopefully that change will continue. Or it won't and the insane screeching will never end.

No one was claiming solar is the only solution, but it significantly reduce the need for fossil generated electricity. Nuclear also has serious downsides for future generations AND new reactors are powers more expensive than budgetted, while wind and especially solar can be produced relatively cheap if compared per MWh.

Apparently the 90 char limit is in the bech32 BIP https://bips.xyz/173#bech32

The library author probably didn't think of bech32 being used for anything other than encoding P2WPKH/P2WSH addresses

No, I thought that something like that was the case πŸ˜…

Still have to provide documentation, but it now supports different Bech32 kinds: https://github.com/nostriphant/nip-19
