When I see headlines like this one, I always think these people are trying to appeal to the future generations who will look back in retrospect to figure out what happened and try to gain their trust and therefore control them once again. Currently everyone knows that these people are all part of the club and helped creating this mess, but imagine if a major depression hits, how warnings like this would read to the people who didn't have direct experience. "Woow, JP Morgan's CEO warned them but they didn't listen..."

Indie hackers of #Nostr, do you hire lawyers or just copy the terms of service from a similar product and don't think twice?

What is Peter Schiff's npub, I don't find him? 🤔

Bitcoin popularized of the term "fiat" money/currency and opened the Overton window. In retrospect this will be the most significant achievement in its early days, not the price. Nobody would be able to remember exactly what $1000, $10 000 or $100 000 used to mean and when. Just like nobody today knows what $1000 meant in 1930, only vague compassions and useless charts.

There is no "Mainstream Media", there is no "Social Media", there is "State Media" and there is "Nostr".

The angriest I have ever been was when I was forced to rename a variable on the backend because it was "breaking" the frontend.

GM! 11 km for breakfast

When will we have presidential candidates posting on #Nostr? 2028? 2032?

Your grandma just read about Bitcoin and now wants to run a node and start mining solo. Will you encourage her?

I haven't seen an announcement from Microstrategy about buying Bitcoin lately. Have I missed it, or are they taking a break or something?

GM Your keys are not secure enough

I will probably feel more comfortable reading and navigating through the InnoDB code than through the CSS of a web page and I REFUSE to accept it is somehow my fault. I am absolutely convinced that CSS is designed to torture people and the best part is that there is no alternative. I thought that Tailwind might help but then I saw stuff like "xl:w-56 xl:gap-2 xl:items-start select-none overflow-y-auto hide-scrollbar sticky items-center border-r border-border-color top-0 z-20 h-screen max-h-screen hidden md:flex flex-col px-2 py-4 flex-shrink-0 gap-1" This is where the whole AI effort needs to be focused on, the world needs to break free from this CurSSe!

This is absolutely poetic 😂

I am aware that the current paradigm for Nostr is smart client/dumb server. However do you think it might be useful to have some open-sourced algorithm that some "smarter" relays could use and serve notes for different optional feeds - something like "Explore"? If you subscribe to a relay of specific kind, you can get a specific feed. There will be no tracking, data mining, personalisations, etc., just an algo recommending stuff based on a publicly available data like hashtags, number of likes, reposts, number of account followers, etc. In the future when Nostr inevitably grows its user base, there will be more and more people trying to share their opinion or find their tribe. If the general recommendation is to just reply to people, then the replies will be flooded with low quality responses, which will be just people trying to be noticed. Having something like "Explore" could help people find what they are actually interested in and engage with it. Interested in music? Hit that #music hashtag and get algorithmically crafted notes relevant to the topic, not just #music notes with "ORDER BY timestamp DESC" Just my 2 sats, what do you think?
