I love that Nym.bar has geohash rooms. Has anyone ever created a GoogleMaps alternative that uses geohash addresses? I messed around with what3words some years ago, but I understand it's proprietary, which goes against our ideals of free and open source technology. #asknostr

Last year, someone recommended Voyage as a text-only Nostr app for Android. I use it quite several times a day when on the go and don't want to scroll through memes and graphics. Is there any comparable web-based implementation? What text-only Nostr apps exist that I can scroll through on my laptop? #asknostr

If any of our UK-based nostriches wouldn't mind chiming in, I'm genuinely curious to know how big of a problem Christian nationalism is over there. From what reports I've received, a huge percentage of people are Christmas & Easter-only Christians or have stopped going to church altogether. I know my information is merely anecdotal, but I still can't imagine that there's a major contingent of radical Christian nationalists stirring up trouble in the UK. But please do educate me if I'm in the wrong on this one.

I turned off my VPN for the first time in forever to test something and forgot to switch it back on. However, I finally caught it when I tried to go to Archive.today, only to find that my local ISP had blocked the site, claiming it was some kind of scam site. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a warning from my ISP, which goes to show that it really does pay to have a VPN. Who is my ISP to tell me whether I can use an alternative archiving site or not?! #privacy #freedomtech

Last April, some teachers I know asked about what books to include in their school's library. Of course, I had to recommend the works of @Lyn Alden and @Saifedean Ammous I'm happy to report that the teachers finally purchased a copy of each work, and they'll now be available to their high school students in Thailand. #bitcoin #education #bookstr #Thailand #Siamstr
