You‘re only connected if they follow you back.
That‘s what I liked early facebook for: you connected as equals. Twitter made unequals. As if everybody had a stage shouting into an empty room hoping for it to populate.
Also nostr seems to gravitate around stars. Why? I‘d rather like to connect with Swiss people or programmers, and not with famous people. The reality based social graph of 2009 was nice.
Initiating one-way subscription… aaaaand you‘ve got a follower.
Do Hashcash based CAPTCHAs work in practice?
- Everyone has GPUs now
- Automated attacks would need to be custom-tailored because they take longer.
- I can assume things about human users, like that they need to spend some time before submitting a form.
We shouldn‘t have started sending data to Google for every little contact form. And even help train their image classifiers.
Are you forbidden to sing in the mines?
That‘s interesting. I didn‘t look at UHT from that point of view. Normally cooking your food makes it more digestable, so I would have said that pasteurizing is a good thing. But it didn‘t occur to me that sterilization (121°C) would digestability-wise be far from the taste-sweet-spot (72°C or so).
I mean, why even time zones?
What about giving discounts for Bitcoin payment? My current hourly rate is CHF 200.-. Would it make sense to offer the hour for 350ksats? 20% discount today.
Does the paradigm „code is written once, but read often“ still apply to modern web development? Business wants a redesign, so CSS and HTML is dropped and the V2 starts at the designer‘s.
Which one now? The followers I guess, not the quality.
known_devs = []
if dev = known_devs.sample
donate_to(dev)

Spring is coming in #Rapperswil 
The idea is for sure. Software was still very buggy when I tried it last time.
Caching is man-in-the-middle sold as a feature.
Bitcoin candy! 
But then again, what‘s trust?
Erwartung von zukünftigen Ereignissen unter der Prämisse vom nötigen Gottvertrauen (so oder ähnlich von Decartes)
Or modern: tit for tat?
doesn‘t a logical argument help with that?
And on the internet?
And what about inter-AI-trust?
and and and…

I don‘t like the style of this article. Is it even human-written?
