We need to build a better experience for users. People need to use nostr and get value, to keep using it.
We need to think 'how can I make nostr more useful to people, how can we give people more value'.
I think a lot come, aren't following people / don't have their relays setup right (or know this is a thing), and then have a muted experience which naturally doesn't keep them around.
I think a dedicated onboarding client could be a good idea, which guides you on following people, setting up your relays, wallet setup, etc.
I would boil it all down to outbox model setup and discovery (ongoing), to get / keep people using nostr.

A nice read on git/source control.

Two upcoming Bitcoin events in April
April 3
A small group BitDevs meetup with only 50 seats available. The focus will be on deeper technical discussions around Bitcoin. We already know that OpenClaw will be discussed, Fedi will be presenting, and Bob Space will be announcing the remaining speakers and topics soon.
April 4
A full day seminar at the university featuring both local and international speakers, framing Bitcoin within the context of modern finance. This will also be the first time multiple universities are collaborating around this topic in Thailand. There are 100 observer seats available, with the remaining seats reserved for students.
Capacity for both events is limited and spots will fill quickly. If you are interested in attending one or both, please complete this short form so I can secure your invitation: April 3: https://forms.gle/K9t7f8vJARnQrtR48

Indeed, I was recommending switching to a linux OS from windows. Not what you were after at all perhaps. For windows I have no idea, I left it a long time ago. It was a terrible mess then and got worse since. So my comment was part snarky, but also part pragmatic - I think calling bankruptcy at a certain point has value, on an unsolvable problem.
Linux distros have better security baked in. Mac too (although that has other disadvantages).
Indeed, if you need to share a computer it's a tough call. As ultimately changing to linux is going to require work and a bumpy adaption likely.

Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie both got their starts as telegraph boys. They would have been carrying around GMs for and between people.

It is a total scam, however his “not much you can do” comment seems strange and revealing. 250 a month on a decent salary is nothing, he could pay it all off super fast as many do - surely he knows this. I wonder if he was put in there to push a narrative instead - to make the issue a public/private issue instead of discussing the real issue: that the vast majority of people don’t need to go to uni (although that would mean far less money printing…). Or I’m too cynical 🙈😄.
