The problem with outbox is that the user has the mental burden now that not only should he understand the importance and implications of cryptographic keys but also do some research on relays in a similar fashion. We could say this is the end-goal to normalize concepts like keys and relays but there has to be a learning path leading to that goal, coupled with the right incentives and UX. This path is lacking from each and every nostr client out there right now. IMO it has to be communities bridging the gap, because you have an already bootstrapped natural trust that you take to the digital realm with you. We cannot assume this trust will be built effectively by automatically following ppl, or attaching a default social graph to the user. This is the mistake of big tech. They want you to be comfortable, without friction so they control your experience on all levels. If we want a realistic path forward we need to onboard real communities to nostr and create software that effectively builds up this learning path towards increasing user-control. This is a tremendous task compared to go full haywire with outbox right away, or the other end of the spectrum, hardcoded relays forever. It takes time but I'm hopeful we'll get there, we just need more focus on real communities.

#Apple is one of the worst monopolies in the world, a net negative on humanity as it operates right now. If you have any doubt, listen to this one: https://youtu.be/477qF6QNSvc?t=12525

Finally gotten to play with follow packs. Really nice tool, thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk ! I'll think about how to incorporate this in SatShoot #WoT bootstrapping.

We will make GitHub obsolete. We will make Discord obsolete. We will make LinkedIn obsolete. We will make BigTech obsolete. nostr:naddr1qq2kcjm2wfm5c6nt95u4x33jf9uxcunyv4jkzqghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7q3q5qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exsxpqqqp65wgqe9ev

Big power outages in areas where it's unexpected like yesterday help us realize how we can all of a sudden become dependent on each other again. Better not forget this, try to be nice to people or at least don't shit on them for petty reasons. Oh, and get some things that help you last longer like: - UPS with backup power sources - Physical cash (ecash in a cypherpunk future) - Alternative communication devices like meshtastic or ham radio - Oil lamps, candles and such for lighting - Spare fuel - ... hellknows, visit these survivalist sites :) Also good to know, the Mandibles writes about an event like that, as sort of a precursor to what comes after... There will be signs. https://stacker.news/items/966046
