I find it interesting how folks on Twitter are ahead of the curve when it comes to shifting a major platform in the right direction.
TikTok seems to be significantly behind in that respect which makes me believe it will become increasingly more boring or interesting.
The default text-shadow size is integer 4, but if I pass in integer 0, it defaults to integer 4 because Javascript processes integers as flags, so I have to pass in string 0 instead lol

im gonna make my AI tutor free for a while, while I refactor some things to make it more nostr friendly.
It's hand-crafted & it teaches you a number of skills and considerations to start building startups. The idea is essentially to save you time and energy.
I’m gonna change my app to force folks to create keys for nostr when they first visit. Should do a good job at onboarding a good amount of folks.
There’s many reasons why someone would join nostr. These folks are going to be students that are being encouraged to spend time around more skilled internet building folks.
Think about the reality that coding bootcamps sold folks employment loans. They didn’t sell education, they crashed that and sold you a dream.
Then the pipeline dried up and they were exposed for what they were. They were for profit FRAUDS.
I need an opinion. I wish I could @everyone.
Logically it makes sense that an education app should use web5 but over the years I've also come to reason that the answer to education intersecting with social media is to encourage people to stay on social media and to make social media better, rather than encouraging people to get off of social media.
So what do you think should govern the identity of an online student? An npub or a DID?
Reason tells me a DID, but for some reason my gut tells me to use an npub.
Am I understanding this right?
- nostr is a decentralized identity specialized for social graphs, i.e being able to have a universal bitcoin wallet across apps
- web5 is a general decentralized identity, i.e exchanging data privately at an airport
Despite it being unpopular for some time, I’m glad that I did not let the algorithm compromise how I value honesty and pragmatism.
I teach people valuable skills to create security and inspiration - not to promise people wealth and luxury. That’s why I create scholarships with learning.
