Help, I've started Vining again and I don't know if I can stop.

Hey, can you nerds stop naming computer science terms without any descriptive language or obvious meaning? This is called a "Frendular Blobsnab Gateway." *35 pages into the documentation* "basically it's a way to serve hashed data from a website." Just fucking call it that. Why are you guys getting so creative without using any etymological underpinnings?

Excuse me, Divine. What the fuck are you doing employing age verification? Who the fuck are you? Why am I proving anything to an app on my phone?

I am a Bitcoin guy, not that deep in the Nostr NIP weeds. Is there a reason why these VERY USEFUL AND INNOVATIVE Nostr apps (Drivestr, Ridestr, BitTasker...etc) never implement remote signing or Nsec Bunkers for login? Yet every twitter clone has it? Is there a technical reason for this? @Vitor Pamplona @fiatjaf @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻

People want everything to be: Awesome Convenient Perfectly polished Decentralized Private Resilient The world is currently built on centralization and optimizing for the first three points and totally neglectful of the last three. The first three are the why of the things you use in life and the last three are the how. When you don't care about how things are done, you can be controlled. But when you focus on the how and do things the hard way, first, everything gets easier as things get more awesome, convenient, and polished, while remaining decentralized, private, and resilient. Keep building, sure. But also do the hard thing now that gets better over time.
