Hey! Any thoughts (or existing implementations) of using a nostr key for OAuth?
I’d like to implement this option as a sign in to my site right along with Google, GitHub, etc

This might sound mad, but we regularly make a block of minced beef+pork and freeze it. The idea was (is?) to make thin slices and fry them for döner. But I tried microplaning it once and I really like it.

In #plebstr
- I seem to have quicker/better control over zap amounts (if i dont want the default every time.
- Threading is done in a nice way, imo
- The UI is smoother and more welcoming
In #damus
- I have bookmarks
- One-tap zaps
- Better notifications
- The option to either repost or quote a note
I use both and have been for weeks. Interested to see who will consolidate all the features I’m interested in first

You can criticize the services rendered, but that doesn’t invalidate the need for the payment. No payment, no services. And while a fully anarchistic state is valid in theory, the fact is, most people aren’t willing to take on that kind of responsibility.
And you can definitely move if you don’t like it. Not sure where you got that argument from.

Tax is like a subscription fee for living in a place.
In an analogous way, I think unpaid relays are not long-term sustainable.

Right, but in this schema distrust and trust are imbalanced.
You have revocable and irrevocable distrust actions.
Why not also revocable and irrevocable trust actions?
Follow is revocable; repost is irrevocable (though admittedly not a singular act, so can be down-weighted).

Theres a place in the space for superapps though. Just in terms of user experience, would you rather have 6 apps taking space on your device or 1 that handles it all? Even if the six are done better for their niches, the one will enjoy a larger userbase.

Sure, but now we’re playing a game of semantics.
We could just as easily say that no one 100% understands physics because of the complexity involved, the puzzle of quantum gravity, string theory, etc etc.
But an equally true statement can be made that we do understand physics quite well because we have computers and airplanes and satellites.
This is what I mean about being reductive: if we call all of economics a lovecraftian bolus of incomprehensibility then we’re voluntarily blinding ourselves to a lot of other things.

2023-05-18 03:21:53

- reply

Except there are plenty of people who have made serious money, sustained over a long period of time, by strategically using the principles of economics.
Yes, it’s a complex system, but to throw our hands up and call it impossible is a bit reductive.

Absolutely, but my basic argument still holds. Governments should treat their constitutions as if there were immutable (but amendable with great difficulty and high consensus). “Should” unfortunately doesn’t mean “do”.

2023-05-13 19:48:19

- reply

Nope. Having a document as a backbone is an important element of stability.
Lately I see the same in BTC arguments about block size or high fees. That not changing the protocol on a whim is a strength. For a government’s constitution it’s the same.

I think it also does something to us psychologically.
The fact that there are almost two decades of tweets that are accessible means that some people will dig into them.
I could see wanting to keep my own history (i dont, but i can see the desire), but storing publicly this record of everything is not wise.
As culture changes, it can and will be used to attack people. I think there’s better ways of spending our time than digging through the socia media archives looking for dirt. That kind of thing puts dirt on everyone it touches.

2023-05-13 11:32:40

But we’re back to my original question: how is that worse than headlines-only which we have now?
I don’t think it is, and it gives everyone else more info to make decisions.

2023-05-13 11:30:31

It’s not centralized control of all media though. We’re talking about two-sentence summaries.

Exactly
And we can only be responsible for ourselves. I don’t think it’s right for us to police things for other people. I guess that’s part of why I’m here.

I’m not sure that it really matters though. How could it be any more “dangerous” than headlines (which we have now)?

I’m really interested in what other applications nostr can have outside the obvious flavors of traditional social media.
Some ideas:
- workout client (posting your run/climbing session/weights/whatever to share as a part of a community)
- review/recommendations client (I’ve got TV shows/films/books/podcasts all in different places and it sucks)
- locally (governmentally?) run read-only relays for public announcements (weather warnings/traffic announcements/bus gps/amber alerts)
- IRL loyalty programs

I started using bitcoin as a way to transfer money internationally without suffering enormous fees. At first it was just a financial transaction for me and I wouldn’t have called myself a bitcoiner.
I would now, though I still haven’t “put in the work” — I haven’t read the white paper, I have a rudimentary understanding of the tech, I don’t (and right now can’t) run a node.

Right, and I think this points out the weakness.
There’s only a finite pool of “fans”, and manipulating their attention is the value-added that centralized SM provides creators. It’s abstracting away part of the process that V4V would require from the creator themselves.
Also, fracturing this finite pool of consumers (I expect, though maybe I’m wrong) would drive the median profit down.

Maybe put a bit harshly, but youre not wrong.
We don’t want people telling arrists what techniques to paint with.

And so on and so on.
This is not to say that parents, art consumers, or nostr users shouldn’t have input—they should. It just needs to strike the right relationship.

It not only increases centralization, but it dramatically lowers trust. There's a share of the population every week that might step into bitcoin -- not necessarily as an orange-piller, but open their first wallet at least. And I think it's the responsibility of those of us in the community to make it look as sane and normal as we can.

Granted I may be naive, but I can’t quite figure out why everyone has made such a big deal out of the mempool.
Sure, fees are high, but isn’t this process also subjected to supply/demand? When the price goes above what people are willing to spend, only those who “have to” take that deal are going to.
Why shouldn’t we assume that the desire not to spend so much in fees will drive the price lower once again? What am I missing?

Most of the people who wouldn’t or couldn’t emigrate are just trying to stay out of it. It’s an awful reality but the prevalent idea is “I have my own problems to worry about”. It’s worth keeping in mind that the average Russian (you have to ignore Muscovites) is living on a very tight income and even when there isn’t a conflict, there are more important things to think about for them. Add in that dissent will make their unfortunate situation worse.
There are of course plenty of actual supports but the full-throated kind I don’t believe are a plurality
