What would be the web5 version of this?
”My thesis is that seemingly small initial decisions around software and network design can have profound downstream consequences on the control and economics of digital services. The book walks through the history of the internet, showing how it has gone through three major design eras: the first focused on democratizing information (read), the second on democratizing publishing (write), and the third on democratizing ownership (own).
We are on the cusp of the third era — own — so I explain the key concepts underlying it, including blockchains and digital services built on top of blockchains. The book therefore answers a common question I hear: “What problems do blockchains solve?” Blockchains solve the same problems that other digital services solve, but with better outcomes. They can connect people in social networks, while empowering users over corporate interests. They can underpin marketplaces and payment systems that facilitate commerce, but with persistently lower take rates. They can enable new forms of monetizable media, interoperable and immersive digital worlds, and artificial intelligence services that compensate — rather than cannibalize — creators and communities.”
You lose everything if you’re not biased towards action. This is the time for it.

”Committing merely 0.25% of GDP annually towards military assistance to Ukraine would provide approximately €120 billion - more than sufficient resources to implement this strategy.” 👇

”About 17,000 ships and 10% of global trade pass through it every year. Any ship passing through Suez to or from the Indian Ocean has to come this way.”
You have to trust the SimpleX server operator you are using: servers can track you if they decide (or are compelled by the court) to do so. They documented it here: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/blob/master/protocol/overview-tjr.md
Works in theory but in practice it’s impossible to vet the servers and who’s even interested enough to check whether anything has changed on the server side since you last checked.
Easy to fool people with malintentions like fake wifi spots etc.
Needs to be a lazy (easy) enough solution that you set up once and forget.
Nostr has the potential with the relay structure.
”in Brussels: see a dynamic industry, rush to regulate it. Like the Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park, EU officials hunt by movement. If part of economy is growing fast, they’re rapidly on its tail."
…and then they kill it in the EU.

Just curious, what’s the main issue with SimpleX?
Some Mastodon users don’t like to be dragged into the mainstream and the cozy underground culture era is over.
Or maybe their content is not that good?
The federated platform burns bridges to keep their islands intact.
”The hack was not specific to Ledger customers and that users of various hardware and software wallets from other providers were also impacted.
“It is affecting anyone with a wallet that is connecting to a dapp that includes this piece of code,”
”it has the capability to listen to ambient conversations of consumers through embedded microphones in smartphones, smart TVs, and other devices to gather data and use it to target ads”

Meant that the order comes from the feed.
Not the best example but the Oreo & Odeo rhyme in that one.

Maybe Nostr enables us to revive and pick up where we left off?
”Users dragged and dropped elements in a web browser to roll their own information feeds, taking published items from websites in many formats—news, database outputs, and blog posts among them. Pipes’ users could then merge the results, filter and process them, and produce a regularly updated stream that could be subscribed to in a desktop app—or texted to a phone. Geotagged results could even pass through a Yahoo Maps filter to restrict results based on location and proximity to features like parks or city neighborhoods…
Pipes output could be embedded into a page or formatted as HTML, JSON, KML, RSS, or XML. There was even a way for a non-Yahoo website to include JavaScript that queried a Pipe workflow and received the results back without any front-end browser or back-end server involvement. Pipes, in effect, could power other sites….
The proposition was that Pipes would not only require no formal programming—it wouldn’t allow any. Instead, every task would be accomplished by dragging and dropping nodes within a browser window, and drawing links between them to indicate control and data flow.”

Nostr is large enough that sequential notes can have coincidental stuff as if clustered or matched together to have random effects.
Was just a reponse to the naming of Untitled UI whether it goes with Default App 😁
Does it come with Default App?
”Woo told Creyelman he had been tasked with “attacking Adrian Zenz”, a researcher who helped reveal how China detained hundreds of thousands of the mainly Muslim Uyghur minority in its far-western region of Xinjiang.”

Too busy building to entertain the crowds?
It’s like trying to have a casual chat in a busy factory.
