Although realistically I almost never use my laptop as a laptop... I mostly want to play with the ARM chip. Doubt we'll get ARM desktop motherboards etc any time soon.

2024-06-14 17:24:50

Would love to get my hands on one of these. Otherwise we'll have to get Linux on the new surface laptops.

Also, the need for sending as few as one sat at a time will be less relevant when we start taking batch payments seriously. That's just a metadata problem as we've discussed before.

Still waiting for someone who actually knows what they are talking about to tell me what new thing Nostr actually solves.
Seriously, I would love to stop trying to figure it out. My brain doesn't stop until I decide to forget about it, then someone brings it up again.

@adam@podcastindex.socia
I mean, I plan on it eventually. I just haven't cared enough about pc20 lately to do any development.
But the subset of people that need it and can use it is rather niche. It's not really webapp friendly and the majority of native apps already use Alby anyway (or don't cater to power users).

2024-03-30 00:21:36

Not sure how bridging pc20 Nostr events to ActivityPub would work when they will either 1) be targeted toward RSS feeds that have no AP socialInteract defined or 2) don't contain a reference to the original AP socialInteract.
2 would be mitigated if the payloads had feed references and item guids, if not references to the AP object directly. But I think this would only work for a small subset of feeds in the first place.
I don't have a problem playing ball but it's kind of hard to include an anticompetitive system.

This is because there is no reliable way to handle what would otherwise be federated message delivery. It is by design and it is absolutely shit.
