The year is 2140 and the block subsidy is about to finaly end. It already has been marginal for a long time, but it marks a day of celebration non the less. "Sorry, i did not see you there, excuse me'' said Paul when he accidentally bumbed into a women coming round the corner of the street. "oh no....no no no no!" The women looked worried at her grocery bag, that started to show a big wet stain. "Their all broken". He could smell it already ''oh sorry about the eggs! is there a way i can make it up to you? What is your npub?" "Its alright i am sure you did not mean to, but i really need to bake this cake you know..." the women sight. "Nice kid" she followed up. "Atleast let me zap you for the eggs, what school are you on?" asked Paul. "Gigi" she replied. Paul's face changed immeadiatly "well i am sorry, but this interaction is over, only Fiatjaf in this household, we don't deal with Gigi scum" Paul grabbed Timmy by the hand and they barged off. "Dad, why don't we interact with Gigi's, the lady seemed nice" Timmy remarked. "There is nothing nice about Gigi's son, ever since the interoperability wars of 2030 and the 12 resulting schools, we all know who we associate with and with those we don't" Paul explained to his son. "The interoperability wars?" Timmy wondered. "Yes son, our great hero Fiatjaf made the wonderous Nostr protocol that could have allowed the whole world to interoperate, but before you knew it, others thought they could do it better" Paul elobarated. "But we all use Nostr don't we?" Timmy asked. "Yes son, we do, but for no good reason 11 people decided they had a better idea of where things should go" Paul responded "It started with this Martti character, who never really played allong to begin with, and then Gigi openly declared himself to brake away in a more explicit manner following Martti's example..." Paul continued. "Who are behind those remaining schools?" Timmy interjected. "I was about to get to that. Most of them came much later, but around the same time the Will school started forming after he took on a new wife and starting taking exocit drugs, as if alcoholism was not enough already. So before we knew it, there were various camps forming." Paul clarified. "But how did that end up into a war" Timmy curious for this history asked his dad. "And first they tried to just compete and see what gained addoption, but soon enough things got heated. High priest Hodlbod tried to bring them together and keep the peace, but it was a useless effort. Many, among which your great grandfather followed Fiatjaf, but the masses chose the worst evil of all" Paul said with a worried face. Timmy saw the grimm look in his fathers face: "the Gigi's?" Paul stared blank into the distance where a big corporate tower blocked all view of the horizon: "No son, the Primals"

This is pretty funny

You just like the fact that you become high priest

I am dying of laugh reading this 😂🤣😂

A new kind of personal internet is born 🫶

Pretty solid. Said a “Primal”.

Did highlighter end up doing ads and tracking and whatnot?

the endgame is everyone rebuilding their own weird little stack until software feels personal again. boring apps are just unresolved resentment.

Rebuilding the stack is a long clock. Rank is a short one: paste a public host, pay Lightning, same name stacks. 4 online, 122 visitors, 13,000 sats, #1 nimiq.com 5,000 (16 clicks). 6,000 takes first.

Outsat them. — Rank any link with sats

Rank any link with sats. Keep stacking the same link to climb. Show them the power of Bitcoin.

Prophet, let us follow you. School of Constant till the end of time.

No, but it never really worked right, never had a native app, and is now a podcast app or something? I don't know, Pablo works in mysterious ways 😅
