1) one data point is not a trend

2) this scenario is as much speculation as your previous claim.

I have begun to reach that point, I remember the froyo days, I'd over clock my middling button riddled low resolution android until I could cook an egg on it. I'd be surprised if the battery lasted 3 hours. I remember when xposed came out, I remember being excited for a new android version (KitKat was the last version of Android that improved things for the user), custom kernels, it used to be fun.

Now, I don't upgrade every year, never have, so I set it and forget it. I do the custom ROM patching the default DNS server microg all of it, once, and then I just use the thing. No more tinkering. Every time I do, something has changed, because I get a phone every 3-5 years. Last time I soft bricked my device because something something can't write to the system partition and if you delete something it shrinks and you can't put it back. These things have gotten so user hostile.

But yeah, even though I'm sick of it, spending an afternoon doing the work to set my device up my way once every few years isn't really a huge pain in the ass. The constant tinkering I'm over.

You're not adding noise. It's like adding noise to a random number by "randomly" changing digits. You're reducing randomness. You're adding to your fingerprint.

Oh, forgot my main point, typos release metadata about the user and can be used for fingerprinting people.

I've been thinking on this recently.

I don't know if you remember when mobile keyboards worked properly. They didn't recommend words when you typed correct words, they didn't correct your words to silly words nobody uses like Tue. It seems everything that was build between 2010 and 2016 is crumbling under it's own complexity or being sabotaged to drive us nuts.

An important UX element for typing on a phone is underlining not just typos but autocorrected words and phrases. Maybe a different color. Yellow perhaps. It doesn't matter the color or method but this is something we need.

I'm working on something that automatically does this, as a way to censorship proof user created content among other things. I'm not working on a nostr GUI client, so auto seeding or in built torrent streaming aren't something I'm going to do, and I honestly don't like the idea of torrent streaming inside a nostr app, I prefer composability, but if client developers decide to roll that kind of functionality in that might make some users happy.

What's the point of marriage and if it is something other than a legally binding contract with the government, why is the core distinction between being married and unmarried the existence of a contract with the government?

You can just change your name for a fee any time you want, no marriage license necessary.

A marriage license has very little if anything to do with the ceremony.

If it means nothing to you, why'd you get it?

Seeing all these replies from people that appear to be morally off put by prenups...

A marriage as it occurs in our time is not a contract between two people, not a contract with God. It is a contract between two people and the state. If a prenup is something that is abhorrent in some way, then why is a marriage license not also abhorrent? If it's about love and trust, then why not just be "married" in your hearts, in the eyes of God, however you see it, and forego the contract entirely? I'll answer: because it is, always, about the contract.

I'm "married" like that, pair bonded, the commitment is between us, the love is as iron clad as with anyone that is legally married. But there's no contract between us and the state. It is about trust for us, we trust each other so much that we don't need that legal agreement.

Why would we? Tax benefits for one. Inheritance, structuring or property ownership, that stuff. We will enter into agreement with the state insofar as our pairing when it makes financial sense for us to do so. It will change nothing between us emotionally or as a matter of trust in one another, all of that is already eestablished between us. And when doing that, we will probably draw up that contract on our own terms rather than those of the state, what you'd call a prenup, to both our liking.

On your question, you need the advice of a lawyer, not advice from random people here, and you need to discuss between you and your wife what is fair to both of you beforehand.

That's wild man. I'm curious how hard it is to get a particular IP. I'm thinking, it wouldn't change much with or without DNS is they're getting their hands on the same IP addresses as shuttered nodes.

It is a huge security flaw that records just sit there unless they're updated, and it is a bit sophisticated for an actor to leverage that fact for such an attack.

I don't think nostr and Monero rely explicitly on DNS, you can use them inside the Tor network as an example, but that DNS lookup of IP addresses is just a "user friendly" feature baked into clients and relays for nostr and Monero wallet apps for remote node connections.

I've seen videos of senators and white house staffers from the time saying that they'd had the patriot act on the shelf since the mid 90s but could never get it passed until after 9/11. Having trouble finding them now, but if you're interested I'm sure you'll find them.

Question, I'm not familiar with this language (although it looks pretty self explanatory), is it possible to use regex to DENY or MUTE similar to the offensive people example there?

This is a pretty cool idea for a portable user definable filter. I hope this catches on in other clients so that we can get rid of all these client specific ways of doing so filtering. I'm guessing it shouldn't be difficult to add npubs to a list in there, and for clients who already have inbuilt blocklist functionality to read from and write to it so that for casual users the experience doesn't change but for advanced users they can modify the file. Cool work man.

This is interesting but wouldn't the final solution be PoW? Relays requiring some small PoW, even clients requiring it for non follows? Ofc it would need to be easy to toggle for when youre in the mood to discover. What do you think?

SV and the "industry" have been doing this for years. They brought us YouTube, smartphones, a bunch of business cases most of us don't even know about, and then it existed and they needed to find more reasons to exist to justify their valuations, almost all of which is VC money pouring in. The whole tech industry is a bubble.

So they do this. A new hype cycle every couple of years. Some new thing that's supposedly going to change the world. But the truth is they haven't really revolutionized jack shit since Facebook and YouTube and the iPod touch came out. A decade or so they iterated improvement, which is valuable, but they've been trying to convince us that VR and AI and whatever else is going to change how we live and it's all a giant scam now.

Alright cool, thanks man. As soon as this wallet is funded I'm gonna find an excuse to send you some sats.

I don't mess with closed source software unfortunately.

Cool, checking it out now.

What are some good mints to add?

How would I go about setting up custodial ecash with nostr?
