exabyteon Nostr is an inclusive communication commons

i imagine the ball would be deflated by the end ^^

exabyteon Nostr is an inclusive communication commons

if the protocol were to change, clients and relays would have to also be willing to adopt the change, almost if not all of which are open-source and easily forked if a large population did not care to pull in those changes. Sure there's always someone guiding the direction, but I don't know how much better you can get than that.

exabyteon Nostr is an inclusive communication commons

The discussion in this thread doesn't seem to be a level of quality I would expect from Hacker News. Many people attacking a protocol because they don't like how it's being used. It's sad, I was hoping to see something more constructive.

Sure, Fifa is quite corrupt. I still like to play soccer with my friends and organized sports in my town. I don't refuse to play the game simply because of Fifa.

NOSTR is a protocol so there's no entity for you to be bitter with... You can be annoyed at the people who were on there, but that's a different subject. There's probably a better analogy than this, but what you're describing would be like playing soccer and being annoyed that your teammates are furries. Go find another team to play with.

exabyteon FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model

true... there are many better reasons to leave iOS than for a keyboard

exabyteon Ghostty 1.0

Genuinely excited to see this land! Can't wait to try it out. This could be the last piece of the puzzle to a nearly flawless terminal experience

exabyteon No GPS required: our app can now locate underground trains

I found this to be a really well-done video on using quantum physics to track location integrating upon acceleration

exabyteon Bitcoin has made a new all-time high price

oops, not sure what happened, meant to say "To purchase goods and services with Bitcoin, you would use a layer 2 protocol such as Lightning..."

exabyteon Bitcoin has made a new all-time high price

To purchase goods and services with Bitcoin such as Lightning where fees are negligible. It is indeed being used worldwide. E.g., you can purchase a wide array of things with Lightning at Bitrefill.com

exabyteon Syncthing Android App Discontinued

One of the top comments has a link to a fork in case you haven't seen it

exabyteon We have lift-off Element X, Call and Server Suite are ready

Cool, love the project and have had a server running for over a year now! Appreciate your guys' awesome work

exabyteon We have lift-off Element X, Call and Server Suite are ready

Does anyone know if this will let you search your messages? This is one of the lacking features I've noticed on the Android version of Element is that you can neither bookmark messages nor search throughout the (encrypted?) chat, making it difficult to find messages you want to refer back to.

You can search on the Desktop app, but not sure why you can't on mobile...

exabyteon Runtipi: Docker-based home server management

Umbrel, citadel, start9, MASH playbook.

Sorry, on mobile right now, but these are great alternative projects

exabyteon BrainGPT turns thoughts into text

My intuition is at least in the beginning, but with enough individual data won't you have a model that can generalize pretty well over similar cultures? Maybe moreso for the sheep, just speculating... who knows!

exabyteon Deno vs. Bun vs. Node.js: A feature comparison

So this is a good thing with regards to your parent comment? I.e., should we feel safe using Bun despite heavy VC investment?

exabyteon Review: Beepy a Palm-Sized Linux Hacking Playground

That keyboard looks incredibly hard to type with, no?

exabyteon Microbially produced protein that is much sweeter than sugar

yeah good point! although maybe diversity in addiction helps? E.g., instead of being addicted strongly to one substance, you get the desired pleasure from 2 substances... don't know, just a thought

exabyteon Microbially produced protein that is much sweeter than sugar

Yes but we've seen added sugar to be quite an addictive substance. People want to quit and it's difficult. You will feel the void of sugar. So if there's a healthy alternative that can reduce sugar. It is a highly valuable stepping stone where the success of it would be to make itself unnecessary (although still fun to use!) I think if it's natural and doesn't pose health risks that it sounds great.

exabyteon Show HN: A Gentle Introduction to the Fediverse

I'm curious, how would something like Nostr (https://nostr.com/) fit in with the Fediverse? Does it generally enhance federation or would it compete?

My understanding is that many federated services use ActivityPub protocol.

exabyteon Max Verstappen got blank screen while leading virtual Le Man 24 hr, retires

does anyone else think we're reaching some kind of critical point where the general public's dissonance with the complexity of what's under the hood (obligatory pun acknowledgement) of computers is going to cause significant issues...

I realize this comment is loosely relevant, but it just keeps coming up in my head when people are like "why do they not do <x>"

exabyteon Crypto Hackers Set for Record Year After Looting over $3B

What is the typical nature of these hacks? Are they phishing type exploits or are hackers actually finding loopholes in the underlying code of the coins/tokens (e.g., solidity etc)?

exabyteon The Ethereum merge is done

Imagine trying to quantify the amount of energy that goes into the current financial system with all its inefficiencies and manpower, time and energy that it takes.

I would love to see this number compared to the amount of energy PoW consumes.

exabyteon JSON Crack – Visualize JSON data into graphs

Same but with Android, makes sense this would be more of a desktop experience though

exabyteon Burnout

could you expand a bit more on this? I'm a bit confused. First you're saying the conscious brain is killing your body and burnout is the body's attempt at trying to save itself. Then you seem to imply that it's an external toxin being consumed and you have to consciously identify it and stop consuming it?
