Listening to the history of money in colonial America I was amazed at how similar it is to ecash.

I was hoping for 100 subscribers. Not so ambitious.

We’re publishing in many channels. So we’ll do that but we don’t get to new people that way. :)

He’s petty pro-nostr still. He released his own nostr app in May. It’s an audio sharing / exploration app. https://github.com/jackjackbits

I'm getting ready to launch my podcast, revolution.social, kicking off with an interview with were we talk about Nostr, Cashu, and the importance of permissionless protocols. I'm using my youtube account which i setup 19 years ago and didn't really use yet. In order to enable a few things regarding a youtube channel, it helps if i've got over 100 subscribers. So i figured, who best to help than the Nostr community. So, please subscribe and in a couple weeks, you'll be able to see a fantastic conversation Jack and I had about where we're going and where we came from in building social media. https://www.youtube.com/@rabble

Oh you need to explore home renovation YouTube more.

Oops. I’ll look in to it.

Yeah but I don’t know what happened.

This is pretty neat, an open source tool for democratic decision making that doesn't push people in to arguments and factions. https://consider.it/

Your post here says so much more than the web page than the site itself. :-/ Interesting project

Buried under the rubble of Gazan schools and hospitals.

We need a way to do algorithms which learn from user interactions. Ideally an open system, that users can choose where to give their interaction data and what their algorithms are optimized for. But we can't just put our heads in the sand and ignore their existence. All of the A/B studies where users were given chronological timelines show they'll switch their time to other apps / services that do provide an algorithmic timeline. The question is how do we do it in an open, nostrway... If we don't then we get a social network owned and run by Sam Altman... which honestly is terrifying. He'd make Elon and Mark seem like balanced stewards in comparison. https://www.theverge.com/openai/648130/openai-social-network-x-competitor

I know nothing about war technology, but it seems to me that the war in Ukraine has really changed things. Are what we're seeing with the new Iran / Israel conflict a reflection of that? Two countries who don't share a border seem to be able to hit each other pretty hard and the balance of offense vs defense seems to have shifted. Before Israel was able to stop most incoming rockets, but now Iran is able to have enough get through to cause real damage. People have speculated about swarms of drones for years, we saw that with the Ukrainian attack on the Russian airforce... It feels like maybe military tech is able to be relatively cheap and agile using consumer tech. Interesting times.

hey https://zappix.app/ is cool.

anybody who's ever seen women pole dance would not say that. ;-D Strength isn't always bulging muscles.
