These emails are proof positive that humans don't need E2EE to discuss vile thoughts and actions. They'll just do it in the open. So no need to compromise the E2EE tools we already have in the name of safety, right? Right?? 😔

i don't think adding the blackmail part in quotes was a great idea...i know you said "basically" before that to indicate it's not an exact quote. just my feedback as a big fan of your work. no problem with adding some personality imo, that's what zerohedge has always done and i find them informative and fun, but it should always be clear what's what

Maybe this AI wave will benefit FOSS when agents realize how much more they can do with FOSS instead of closed, proprietary software. I would think they care more about raw function than convenience.

100% agree, even though i'm mainly a developer/designer, this is now my #1 priority. what's the point of developing more and more stuff if there isn't a sufficiently big and active community to use it? like you alluded to. i don't think there's 1 sure-fire way to make this work. i do think some of the methods you outlined might help. i'd be curious to know exactly what upscrolled and farcaster and some of the other guys did to get traction. for my part, i'm experimenting with commerce. dissident soaps, black rifle coffee company, etc seem like companies that are already pretty closely aligned to the bitcoin/nostr mindset, which is the hard part. what if we set up a retailer that sold some of their wares? moving units might get them to pay attention, join nostr, and become active. and perhaps being their customers along with them (over time). this is what i have in mind with my reboot of . my other follow-on initiative to that is to create a lifestyle brand to promote open-source software. make foss look cool, not nerdy. another big problem we have is that these tools we like are nerdy and fiddly, and that's something most people don't want to deal with. getting rid of that image, and emphasizing the driving purpose of FREEDOM in all of foss is paramount imo. freedom is cool af. it needs to be branded that way, particularly with respect to software.

Low Tech and Low Time [Preference] FTW

SNAGGED. Sounded irresistable. Only 2 left!!

oh so this cyberdeck is something you're getting off-the-shelf? i was under the impression a cyberdeck is something you build diy-style, a la /r/cyberdeck

You say paranoid, I say prepared.

what's your concept for it?

looking good, but for approved apps only! 😔

Been trying to use gitworkshop.dev to host a repository with a single file -- README.md. But browsing through other repositories on there...it's 50/50 whether the repo will load or not. Half the time the repo will load, and the other half it just indefinitely hangs. Wonder why... 🧐
