Second time in less than a year severely spraining an ankle while, on vacation, carrying two suitcases walking down a flight of stairs. First with the right ankle, and now the left. I should stop doing that. Lifelong issue of mine but it’s gotten worse as I get older.

Yes, it’s up to them. I don’t have any authority over their client code. I can only express my opinion as a user of the client and open pull requests to the code base. I value user choice above all else. It’s the client developer’s right to write whatever software they want, but it’s the user’s right to express their opinions about what they want to see or not see. The question is if the client developer values their users’ choices. If not, the user has the choice of using a different client.

Apologies, thanks for letting me know! I’ve pushed out a new TestFlight build (with no changes) so that you all can download SatsPrice again. I’ll push out a proper App Store release one of these days so that it won’t ever expire once I’m less busy with other things. It’s also wild that there’s people still using the app given how basic it is. Thanks for using it!

That would be cool. I think it could be pulled off with what exists in NIP-52.
1. Alex blocks off his unavailable times using kind 31923 time-based calendar events and/or kind 31925 RSVPs with the fb tag set to busy.
2. I query for Alex’s busy times to extrapolate his available times, and create a kind 31923 time-based calendar event for the appointment I want to schedule. Use the p tag to invite Alex.
3. Alex accepts the appointment request with a kind 31925 RSVP, with an additional e tag of the specific appointment.
4. If Alex doesn’t agree to the appointment request or wants to alter it (e.g. wants to limit the appointment to a specific duration), he could refrain from RSVPing to the calendar event sent his way, but rather create his own calendar event and tag the original requester.
We don’t have any kinds yet that allow someone to specify how long their desired appointment openings should go for or when their desired appointment openings should take place. But I’m sure we can make that happen.
@npub18zx…30pr Does cal.com have any plans to integrate with Nostr? I know you weren’t in love with the NIP-52 spec.

That’s my understanding of unconference as well. I still find value in having some stage presentations.

I’ve personally struggled and have seen people struggle with language all my life. I was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Canada, so that meant being fluent in English and not so fluent in my first language of Cantonese / Chinese. I struggle to communicate properly with my parents in their native language and they sometimes have difficulty communicating in English. I travel a lot to non-English speaking countries and the number of times I’ve had to pull out Google Translate to get through basic tasks like ordering food from a menu and using a washing machine (as recent as yesterday) is uncountable. Similarly, I’ve been learning the Russian language for the past several years, and have had struggles with communicating with people who don’t speak English in that community.
My wife and mother-in-law are Ukrainian, and despite them being fluent in English and their native language, they have their own personal language struggles. With the war in Ukraine, their first language of Russian is being cancelled due to social and geopolitical pressure, and all the Russian language that I’ve learned is quickly becoming irrelevant.
I believe that non-English speakers should learn at least a bit of English as it’s a generally accepted international language and it’ll help them navigate through life, but it’s also unreasonable to expect people to not be able to use basic tools or be shunned from the greater society just because of this language barrier.
Encountering these situations in life myself just reaffirms that we need to build apps in a more accessible, thoughtful way, for the good of humanity.

I have no opinions about Monero but this feels like a form of passive opinionated censorship from the client and doesn’t take into account user choice. Is this necessary, @npub1n0s…lahe ? I’m fine with augmenting Bitcoin and Nostr related hashtags with images because it helps highlight what they are, whereas shitcoin images on hashtags by default seem a step too far. It alters the meaning and interpretation of people’s posts.

2024-08-16 20:38:09

- reply

I don’t agree with some points of this take. Censorship resistance is a strong property of Nostr but it’s not the main point for majority of folks. It’s your portable identity, portable data, and free network effects, combined with use cases beyond just social media — which seems like a core focus of your note. There’s nothing wrong with having overlap with X — the point is Nostr is already almost a superset of what X provides but with even more.
I got into Nostr before I got into Bitcoin. Just because there’s a concentration of a certain demographic, doesn’t mean the protocol is necessarily catering to only that demographic. Where I do agree with you is that Nostr needs the other stuff with thoughtfully designed experiences to succeed to have folks want to use it. @npub1c0n…g243 intends to be one, and sounds like Satlantis is, too.

OK, I changed the language a bit after some PR feedback. It’s now “deletion request”.

2024-08-15 00:18:37

Looking for feedback on this PR to update the terminology on NIP-09 - “Event Deletions”. I’m proposing we call it “Event Retractions” instead when we actually mean “request for deletion”. Let’s reserve “delete” for when we actually mean physically deleting an event from a specific client or relay. There’s too much confusion stemming from overloading the term. Not all clients or relays need to support retractions, but the protocol describes how one could support it, so let’s use the correct words that explain it properly.
