> really needs both Yeah, exactly, I don't mean to get rid of the cables either. I heard that currently all traffic that goes through Starlink from Bali is eventually routed through Jakarta somehow. No idea how and why they've done that, but it might make sense while undersea cables are okay. I wonder if this system survives when cables get damaged (it didn't AFAIK, while I was there), otherwise satellites indeed don't help.

I mean mobile coverage is relatively good in Indonesia; the problems are with the undersea cables though. Now and then they get damaged and everything stops working, including mobile internet.

Internet quality is permanently terrible in seismically active locations like Indonesia; it's worth having satellite-based internet there.

> You have to build real trust, which means you must expose private information over an online system I've pointed out something close in the article I mentioned: IMO it's possible to achieve a healthy and flexible enough privacy for dating (so people could feel safe to talk to strangers using pseudoanonymous and almost empty , and still not appear as a total stranger/s{p,c}ammer to the system, by exposing the connection between the real trusted npub and the limiting dating one to a trust rank service, that real npub holder chooses themselves). That's the inevitable trade-off: something would need to be exposed in order for such a system to work, but privacy depends a lot on what exactly and who will receive the information. I think it's worth trying to build dating capabilities in Nostr, because the alternative is actually dating apps that do (or will start doing at any moment) the ID-based KYC cringe, which makes things worse for whoever doesn't care that much about privacy. I believe that people will go here if they notice a healthier alternative and if we market it in a particular way. > We consist of less than 10 women While I don't ask for statistics that support this, hopefully non-literal, claim (I see who's naturally attracted here at the moment too), I still don't want it to be some self-fulfilling prophecy. Nostr is not just for male hackers and bitcoiners, and we affect who actually gets attracted to it. For example by making (I'm still impressed it hit the 10k TestFlight limit in a few hours!) or possibly some dating app too. > If you have used any of the "fringe" but popular dating apps/websites you find one "woman" within 100 miles of you > they simply don't work for the majority of users I hear it all the time, ah. I haven't been doing this since all the AI psychosis started in particular, but anyway, for some reason I was always lucky with these dating services. I found my significant other about 5 years ago using one of them, just as one of the examples. And I'm in my mid 30s right now. But that was not in the US.

I don't see anything weird about having a nostr-based dating app, if it's done with care. Every dating approach has its pros and cons. Dating apps won't go away; online dating is the only available thing to people with certain disabilities, for example.

One binary, that's awesome. So you decided to make a native app? Why deal with the web-based stuff at all then? Browser engines are coming with frustrating resources overhead IMO, with weird hacks (chrome://gpu) that eventually break due to some driver update. And the programming languages are quite... limited. Do you still want to make it compatible with browsers for some reason? Or do you want to rely on Electron as something stable, that "just works" on major platforms? Or due to the existing code base?

Ok, it works for me now, thanks!

That seems to be exaggerated: if he at least managed to get off his clothes and wash his body immediately, that'd be far from taking such an amount orally. 80 million of typical 100 mcg dosages is 8 kg of liquid. Drinking such an amount of water alone would be lethal.
