Today I want to give a shoutout to @kidwarp, a fellow gardener, open source fan, and lover of freedom. We have a lot in common, and at the same time, we also *very* different opinions about some things. But that doesn't get in the way of us hanging out online together. And that's a rare quality these days, to be able to still respect people with whom you disagree. I feel like the world needs more of that. So if you also think that a difference of opinion doesn't warrant an ad hominem attack, check out his profile and see if you agree that he's worth following. This is how you find out about interesting people on decentralized social networks. When you see someone being excellent to one another, you share it with others, be that by a boost or a post.

These are legit concerns, but banning pseudonyms is not the answer. View quoted note →

@ManiMe You need to solve this discoverability problem pronto, mate. I want to recommend Nostr to people I know, but if they don't see the content they want, and they only see the trolls and propaganda, they likely will not come back for years, if at all. IMO, this is an even bigger problem with Nostr than the lack of privacy, which is really saying something. Related: I'm considering doing another meshtastic class, this time leaning into the cypherpunk culture aspect to expose people to those ideas.

It's refreshing to see real pictures of people putting in real work. True craftanship can't be replicated by a computer, there's skill involved, and always a risk of ruining the work by making mistake. A CNC or an AI created project may be less expensive, but put another way: it's less valuable. In any case, it lacks the character of something that's hand crafted. I like that people have choices of whether they want something cheap or something that's high quality. That choice only exists if there are true craftsmen out there. Keep up the good work, leathermint. 💪 View quoted note →
