If you have a sustainable business model, you don't need the network effects. Threema is fine with a smaller userbase because they have a business model that works.

So charge everyone $2 per month to use it? shrug If you're not going to show how much money you get via donations, I'm not donating. I'm not going to donate more than you actually need, for example.

I made a website that does all the markdown to html conversion right on the client and it still has great SEO. Apparently google and stuff will just index the markdown itself. No compilation step needed.

I have a 2070super GPU and realized that for most modern games, the bottleneck is my CPU. Seems like most games have pushed a lot of complexity to that these days.

Why would anyone want to avoid the panopticon if what they are doing is legal? Leaving a trail of metadata on everything you do is just not always desirable. In terms of privacy, I don’t see using Monero as different from using Cash.

The biggest proof to me that nobody uses Monero is that something as simple as proving payments is like pulling teeth. Yes, you can go into advanced settings and copy a payment proof. But then how do you get it to a retailer? What does the

Would a more p2p system ever be possible? Just choose the host and their client is the one that orchestrates? Then you’d just need a proxy to connect users? My understanding with WASM is that you can run full desktop applications in the bro

I am struggling to find information on this initial northwest Semitic alphabet that you mention. Your logic is sound, but I’m just not finding any info that backs up what you’re saying.

I know it is not a popular opinion, but I think Hebrew came before Phoenician. As far as I can tell, the data could point in either direction.

ActivityPub is fine as long as you're okay with a specific server owning your account and all your data. Many people just want that not to be the case.

Agree. A cheap home device that you can plug in would be very cool. Note that this is at odds with a school of thought in Nostr that says each different niche app or niche interest should use a different relay. Your suggestion would be a di

“The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.” The problem with solutions like Nostr is that users don’t own their data. Relay operators do. Once you post data to a relay, you are giving ownership to them. They decide if it lives or

I'm surprised that we haven't seen an animated movie about bats similar to something like The Rats of Nimh. Their world seems so complex and mysterious. Much lore to ponder for a young mind.
