What's that?

What is this obsession of developers with Nostr communities lately? I think, forget it. Everyone is forming their own, constantly changing community here. I don't understand why this thematic segmentation is needed.

That's something I don't understand about Nostr btw. Cool, we have a new protocol. Fine. We even have zaps. Honestly, this isn't all that new—there was already a social network where people could pay each other for their posts. But okay, zaps are cool.

But why does the UI still look like it's from 1999? What's the point of communities, previously called "forums" previously called NNTP newsgroups? Why just a purely timeline-like display of all notes? UI and design—why have you been stuck for over 25 years? How about some new concepts? Completely new interaction concepts?

But new UI concepts would probably fail because of the users. Admit it—you’re all too conservative. You want to take your timeline-based display with you to the grave, don’t you? We saw a bit of that with Google+ (2011-2019). They only introduced small, cautious changes—and it killed them.

That’s the influence of traditional school, I’m telling you. It teaches everyone a linear world, so you can no longer think three-dimensionally and interconnectedly. Instead, you process everything sequentially, neatly lined up in a row.

I don’t think I’ve seen any of these! I’ll have to check them out.

I’ll have to think about that!

wonderful question! what are some films that have genuinely surprised you, that opened up a vocabulary that you didn’t know you wanted to see until you saw it?

It’s happened to me several times, I’m trying to remember specifics. I’ll sleep on it and return later with examples.

It’s up to millennials to save the world.

Filmmakers and -buffs of Nostr:

1. What do you think alien film could be like?

2. What are some different stylistic and technical turns the art could have taken historically that would have led to a different style and "lexicon" of film than we have today?

I haven't studied film formally, but my sense of how it developed as an art form is that unlike visual art and storytelling conventions, which developed slowly in countless different ways around the world, film was pretty global and developed conventions quickly. It also seems there has been a lot of experimentation, but that this stayed in the avant-garde fringes a lot of the time (my guess is because it wasn't very psychologically accessible).

I wonder how many of these conventions are really based on how we as human beings interpret the kind of information we get from film, and how many of them are the consequence of how quickly film as an art form spread around the world and how prolifically it was developed by only a few centers.
