Volunteers getting kicked out of open-source projects seems to be very popular these days. Recently happened to me too, in a project related to freedom of speech. I guess we senior developers are just such an easily replaceable resource, that even working for free is not good enough for the non-profit project managers, you must also have no life, be available around the clock and you definitely should not be russian.
Sry for my late response ๐ , all good regarding your message and thanks for the clarification!
Yeah I also think that there are a lot of concepts that are fully ignored or manipulated in school, to make them compatible with the state. Giving people the opportunity to learn from their mistakes is definitely one of such concepts. In the end people would then have to learn forgiveness, forgiving others and especially themselves. But such forgiveness wouldnt exactly drive sales for the military industrial complex ๐...
Right on! I've actually created a whole website/project for this at https://thedemocracyupgrade.org/.
Just to try to show people that our "democracies" are a joke and that Switzerland definitely has better system.
Not perfect of course but MUCH better than what we have, an upgrade basically.
Not a lot of people care though :D
> But even in switzerland 99.9% laws are made by politicians and not voted by the people, organizing referendums takes a lot of time and money
Yeah, I wonder if municipalities could start more digital efforts to streamline votes and/or polls, at the local level. I'm sure somewhere someone could start a kind of open source voting app to at least allow people to give their opinions and polls on every single legislation (at the municipal level).
Have a great day!
Love your initiative and the website. Believe it or not, couple friends and me are working on a concept that would take even swiss democracy to a new level and does not necessarily require digital processes.
Great point about the municipal votings, making regional laws that are voted by regional people is a great way to increase democracy. But this also shows an important fact:
Generalizing and globalizing laws more and more, does actually decrease democracy, but increases system efficiency. Corporatists and politicians love efficiency and hate effectivity.
Dang ๐! Gotta go, breakfast asks for me ๐
Problem is, we also never really saw proper capitalism I think ๐ค. Its always some mix of capitalism and socialism, ending in corporatism driven by a steaming pile of shit a.k.a kakistocracy.
If they knew about it, they propbably would knew that their democracy-models are an absolute joke ๐. But even in switzerland 99.9% laws are made by politicians and not voted by the people, organizing referendums takes a lot of time and money ๐.
Yupp two of the things are about the rental contracts ๐.
Thank you ๐, I hope your day was filled with positive energy!
I can asure you that you will stop liking to read this stuff after a couple times anyways ๐ . Its usually bureaucratic changes that in the end do not help anybody except of the usual ones. The state game is finding things that you think are in favor of you, but actually just legitimate more state, more control and more force. The vote documentation is full of blatant lies and state propaganda. Its always interesting to see how they reinvent their lies again and again ๐
Happy to announce Nitropage v0,61 ๐. This release includes lots of little ux improvements, fixes and a completely new code editor for css and markdown fields.

To be fair, I never said "lets regulate nostr apps so that they must have privacy by default", I absolutely would be against such a regulation. But if there are two nostr clients, one with privacy by default, and one without, I would recommend the first one to my friends ๐ .
"Allowing" users to make mistakes is completely fine ofc ๐, but it also should be fine to talk critically about clients and how they can be improved.
Good to know โค๏ธ! Thank you for the recommendation about Citrine ๐
Absolutely ๐ , but the thing with privacy is that non-tech users and newbies probably also would like to have it by default, without first learning about Citrine and Amber ๐
Amethyst automatically saving post drafts on the network feels like a really really bad idea for privacy ๐ค. I mean why do I have to "request" the deletion of a draft? Never wanted to upload the draft to the network in the first place ๐ .
Luckily this is Nostr with dozens of different clients to choose from and not a single-client big-tech platform ๐๐ฅ
Nothing is hard if you got time ๐
The government recommends to vote YES, so I vote NO.
Bee Hives maybe, in a way? ๐ค
I said a N-O-S, a T-R, a G with a single M

Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the rhythm that'll make your nostr rock
True ๐ but definitely not allowed by the Schedules Direct API, the API is only made available for personal use and you are not allowed to freely share the data with the world ๐.
Sometimes you just need to make something for yourself :). I built a tv schedule app just for movies, a project that I wanted to make since years ๐. It lets me bookmark movies of interest, hide seen ones and filter the list by past movies that are accessible through tv replay. The schedule data is imported from schedulesdirect[dot]org.

Not exactly a fan of these generic categorization attempts ๐.

Ever tried if smelling ammonia could break the attack?

Thanks for that idea โค๏ธ. I have tried similar things in the past, not specifically these though, might be worth a try ๐. There is however the clear tendency that such things rather trigger even more phantosmia ๐..
