And the joke’s in the fact that Nostr is not even blockchain based. It’s basically Bitcoin devs’ response to the whole Web3 thing demonstrating that you don’t need a blockchain and a shitcoin to have a decentralized, permission-less, censor

You should try logging into a “web3” app to see what I’m talking about. No need to buy crypto or anything, of course. Just for the science. A short guide, assuming a mobile device: 1. Install MetaMask, next, next, finish to create a wallet.

It shouldn’t really be much of a surprise though that people hacking on decentralized value transfer where identity is asserted using asymmetric key cryptography were the ones coming up with the idea to use a similar approach for informatio

That’s just the nature of Nostr at the moment. It’s very Bitcoin adjacent. There’s significant overlap between Nostr and Bitcoin developers. Also, Bitcoin (through Lightning) is the currency used on Nostr for anything and everything. I can

He’s getting downvoted because that’s a solved problem in the wider crypto-space. To log in you sign a message using your hardware wallet. Nostr hasn’t grown up to that yet, and pointing out that pasting private keys is a bad idea is fair g

I just used something called “the internet” to read your message. As opposed to one of those corporate owned networks for computer-like devices from the eighties.

Europe is big. Where I live it’s pretty much the default. You can get a 1-phase connection, but you basically need to downgrade to it, and all the default wiring would be done in a way to support 3 phases if needed.

I remember the first time I got into a Tesla Model S. I got a rental one just to see how it’s like. Was super looking forward to it. Getting into it was a downer. I disliked the interior or rather the lack of it so much. Driving it exceeded

I don’t want software from my car manufacturer. I want a thing I can cast Apple CarPlay on. Regarding range, pretty much any EV with a comparable battery pack (kWh-wise) is a peer. And there’s plenty of those now.

Depopulation by disease started with the arrival of Europeans, right? Apparently Native Americans knew how to do genocide also before European arrival: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_Creek_massacre

I kind of get that reasoning. But then on the other hand, it’s just not well supported by the vast majority of societies actually observed. Everywhere we go or went to, people already had weapons, and knew how to use them against other huma

I’ve always found this notion strange: > overturning previous assumptions that competition and conflict were absent in hunter–gatherer societies Chimps have competition, conflict, some even call it ‘warfare’ between neighbouring troops.

It’s not about budgets, it’s about incentives and the Dunbar limit. A solo-preneur, or a small organisation has all the incentives to have great onboarding experiences. And they’re small enough for everyone to know each other and have a coh

It has always existed only in part. As in, wealth begets wealth. So, like you say once you’re wealthy you have more opportunities for more wealth. However, it’s even worse than that now. The system where continuous debasement of currencies

And headline inflation is just one part of the story. Broad money growth has averaged around 7% for decades for USD, similar for other ‘stable’ currencies, and much worse for the ‘not so stable’ currencies. If you’re rich enough, you won’t
