While I'm definitely not a SW Developer, the times I've thought "hey let me vibe something" have basically resulted like this. The most useful things it's yielded has been searching out other projects / codebases that I was unaware of to do the thing I needed. View quoted note →

#asknostr can I create calendar events for "virtual" locations? Like if there's a scheduled Livestream?

I think my analysis also explains the phenomenon of Jake Paul boxing Mike Tyson on Netflix, Mr Beast doing deals with Amazon Prime, etc -- in the legacy system, creator tips or donations are inherently limited by (a) the fact that they can't accept micropayments below $1 and (b) they're limited to USA/ OFAC-compliant payment rails. So they basically "outgrow" YouTube and its subscription model. In contrast, Netflix can sell their content to (basically) the whole world, so that's who they partner with. On Nostr, hypothetically you could serve content to Billions *and* they can chip in ~Satoshis, what is the limit? View article →

It's " #Longform Festivus" -- I've got issues, and you people are going to hear about it: * @Amethyst can't access Drafts saved to relays -- also, inline links in documents are rendered as big link preview blobs rather than actual links -- appropriate for Kind 1, but doesn't work for longforms. * @Nostria "Numbered lists" get nuked on saving and reloading drafts -- reverts to just multi-line text * longform dot space -- (Still being developed?) black background makes editing real difficult because heading text is also rendered in dark grey, etc... better minding of color schemes? * #habla dot news -- straight-up dead? website 404's... * @npub1ez09...y2lz -- browser crashes when trying to edit draft (Chrome browser). Also, perhaps reconsider large, heavily "serif'ed" font?

Proud to have been "sub-tweeted" by Cory Doctorow in a dismissive swipe at Bitcoin... I'm glad he's at least trying to engage with the idea of Bitcoin as a hedge against State violence, but I suppose the rejoinder is, "you just get wrenched instead!" View quoted note →

This is an example of "Charon's obol", a coin placed in the mouth of the dead, intended as ferryman fare to cross the river Styx... Did you know an early motivation for digital money was as a means for Extropian transhumanists to pay for their cryopreservation? A "brain wallet", like the coins in the mouth of dead Romans, would be motivation for future scientists to resurrect you with "brain intact."
