It’s true. We would be wise to organize a bounty for someone or a team to actively manage and cite for changes to that page

“The biggest threat to Bitcoin is irrelevance” (sic) - @npub1sg6…f63m
It’s true
All technology needs to be worked on and ultimately used.
Historically the price runs have kept Bitcoin conversions going and interest at new highs
I’m excited for new decentralized applications (like NOSTR) to help keep Bitcoin relevant once price pumps aren’t enough.
As some of you know, I took a new job this year with a tangential need to learn to code (Javascript, HTML, API building), solely so I can one day help build in the space

I want to buy a shirt but it’s so hard to get fiat into the BTC ecosystem without going through a bank
And I can’t corrupt this address with KYC
somehow I’ll find a way!
Seriously this is why we need protocols to pay people in BTC for tasks
We need non KYC BTC now!

Ok none of these jokes made me actually laugh. Perhaps I’m too serious.
Here’s a semi dirty joke my grandfather told me as a kid. Repost if you actually laugh
————————-
One night three kids were caught stealing fruit from a farmer
As punishment, the farmer lined the three of them up and holding a shotgun said: “as punishment I’m going force you to each take the fruit you stole and shove it up your ass!! That’ll teach ya”
The first kid was sweating but seeing the shotgun he took a deep breath, grabbed the apple he stole, and shoved it up his bum “ahhhhhhh!!!!” He shrieked and went running off back home to his mommy.
The farmer, feeling smug about his handling of the situation turned to the second kid. To his surprise the second kid was dying laughing!!
“What are you laughing about kid. You’ve got a grapefruit and it’s at least twice the size of that kids apple. Didn’t you see him? What’s so funny!”
Bursting with tears of laughter, the second kid could barely talk. Between breaths to snorted “sure I got a grapefruit. But the next kid? He stole a pineapple!”
🥁

Question for smart people:
Why do some features in Damus not always work
Like overall in tech, why do glitches of this nature happen (e.g. doesn’t load profile, have to back out and load the profile again)

Is it possible to get posts from other non Damus, nostr apps?

Thanks for the zap! To add: most companies use HTTPS for their websites. It requires a bit more set up involving certification (not sure the details of it).
Don’t know a good reason not to use HTTPS other than the extra bit of work. Maybe someone more technical can weigh in?

2023-04-10 22:56:44 UTC

- reply

Https has added encryption and security for data in transit vs http
HTTPS uses something called TLS (transport layer security) which encrypts data sent via the Internet to ensure that ppl can’t see what you transmit

On #[0] @elonmusk:
Unfortunately we should expect the type of behaviour that Twitter is demonstrating.
Twitter owns their platform outright and for at least 12 years we’ve known damn well that social media platforms own all the rules, content, and UI associated with their digital world.
If it must be said, I agree with @lynalden and her anger towards Elon. He’s a giant hypocrite who has shown himself as yet another human looking to use his power for his own personal desires.
But shame on Lyn (and me and likely you) for expecting anything else. Elon is a human. Humans will always act in their own self interest.
Elon has done tremendous things for humanity and hope he continues to thrive. I’ve always been a fanboy of Elon. He’s bright, ambitious, gets shit done, and breaks the rules for (usually) the better. But of course, the demonstration of those traits also benefit him first.
Twitter seems to be dying and I do not see a path forward where it becomes a Meta circa 2014. Maybe I’m missing the creative juices that Elon has. I’m inclined to believe that Elon bought Twitter for fun or to handle personal vendettas. Maybe he thought he’d be more powerful this way, influential the way Big Media always has been.
This whole episode is another reminder that we MUST not only own our content but also be able to PORT our content.
I love @Chrisbest and @Substack. I think he’s honest and wants a better place for creators to write. However, he too is human. He too can’t be trusted more than Elon, or frankly more than me or you.
This is why programs like @nostr @mastedon @lens and @farcaster are so important. This ecosystem that is growing is important. I don’t think most of us grasp how important.
If you’ll have it, I’d like to write my thoughts more on this in the coming days.
Till then enjoy the show that is Twitter. I hope @lynalden keeps reporting 🍿
If you enjoyed this read please follow, repost, or zap! Looking for encouragement #[1]
