Greens have no sense of scale.

The energy required to move your luggage is probably literally 1/1,000,000 or so of the energy of the flight.

Nostr at the scale of Twitter isn't a decentralized alternative to Twitter. It'll become a centralized alternative to Twitter. We need to improve the Nostr protocol a lot to change that.

Mostly stupid.

We should be paying for services rather than forcing companies to rely on ads. Especially when ad buyers that all too often become a tool of political control. $8/month is a perfectly reasonable price for Twitter.

The only issue is that you can't pay anonymously, with a crypto currency. Even dogecoin would be better than nothing.

Since there is in fact a privacy improvement to doing no filtering at all, it would be good to have a high bandwidth mode where every block is downloaded.

Also, does this still work if your local node is a pruned node?

Anyway, I'm blocking you. You are either hopelessly stupid or trolling.

The current invasion of Ukraine started in 2014.

The article doesn't give any clear reasons. It just presents a bunch of totally normal and healthy celebration of resistance movements in the context of an ongoing invasion as vaguely bad.

Stalin and Lenin are common national symbols in Russia, which of course has been invading Ukraine for years. It's very clear what that article is about, and it's garbage.

Oh please, I've read the article. It's endless hand wringing over people celebrating a resistance movement. Defending yourself from foreign invaders is a good thing.

Imagine thinking that there's something wrong with shooting Stalin or Lenin.

Never looked at MessagePack.

Last time I had to design a consensus critical message format I came to the unenviable conclusion that none of the existing ones were right. But that was for something different than nostr.

what is not the last thing we talked about?
