You know, I don't actually know how that would work, but I my mind, at least on the Fediverse side of things the bridges are probably fediblocked by most instances, because it seems like you could just whip up spam on the Nostr side and blast it across the bridge. Where if there was some way on the nostr side we could opt into the bridge, and agree to play nice, the bridge might not be blocked by everything. I dunno though.

I wonder if Bridges would have worked better if it was opt in, versus "everything must go". I do wonder if a lot gets lost in translation between the two because they are trying to avoid spam somehow.

A new user comes to Nostr (just one, two tops, lets be seeious) and they need something for zaps day one, with no fiddling required, what else can you do? For 99% of the general public, trying to be self soverign with lightning is a fucking disaster. I keep getting lectured about tradeoffs with lightning, so here is one I guess

So Scrubs is coming back - two things come to mind:
1. Millennials are tragically nostalgic creatures (guilty as charged)
2. We've run out of ideas as a society, comedies died in 2012, and instead of acknowledging this, we're just going to go back and try what worked before.

This, but on all Nostr clients. On the Twitter side of things I have several follows that may have a banger here and then, but then 34 quote tweets and other generally stupid fucking takes that I don't need to see over and over in my following feed (Academic Agent being the one that comes to mind right now).

I love when games are remade, but you can toggle between the old and new versions. I've almost come to expect it after the Halo 1 and 2 anniversary editions came out. Remakes should just do this.

On the brightside, I won't have to ignore this weird sciatic thing I have going on, or take shit from my friends about it.

I've never actually seen any of the Atari computers in person. I think a 5200 is basically just a 400 stuffed into a console.
Growing up, my uncle always left his hand-me consoles at my grandmothers for us to play. When I was about 6 or 7, the dog chewed the cord and that was the end of it. I was in college when she died, when we were cleaning out her house they were just going to chuck it, so someone fixed it for me. Its universally hated for the controller, but I have a soft spot for it.

Asmongold's console tier list is insane to me:

* Switch can move to A
* GameCube is a B, probably a C
* OG Xbox is B
* 360 is an A
* Wii U and Saturn can swap
* SMS can drop

If you are like me, you'll eventually want to play around with every new shiny thing that comes to nostr. Nostr relies on public/private keys. If your private key gets compromised, you risk losing your account. In theory, if you put your private key in bad app, that app could extract that private key from it. Event signers are an app thats separate from your client, that holds your private key and can confirm to your client that you want to so something (post, reply, like etc.). It sounds like a lot of extra steps for a minor concern, but I will say Amber has been mostly seamless for me. I do stuff on Amethyst and most of the time don't realize Amber is there doing the heavy lifting. You can set permissions in your event signer to require your approval to do things, or just do them automatically.

Also, by these definitions would Amethyst be a super client and Primal be a client, where Primal, from what I can tell, only offers a social media feed component, where Amethyst has a marketplace, streams, etc.?
Amethyst also has the ability to do groups. A lot of other clients/super clients do not. Is that a separate thing that would bump a client into super client status?

Who is the target audience? Someone familiar with nostr already or someone new to it? If the target audience audience is new people, I might not say domains, just because they'll confuse that with other web stuff. I might use something like aspects, components, features, etc.

The whole banned book thing is one of the biggest fucking LARPs ever. If you can buy it at Barnes and Noble, its only banned in your head. Book stores put up banned books displays because they want to make money, and because they know you're stupid.
