But wait -- isn't this supposed to be "The Year of the Linux Desktop"? haha
Yes, I hear you.
I was interested in nostr before, but walked away because of its seemingly inextricable ties with crypto. I like crypto, but generally am not a fan of BTC due to privacy issues (I'm more of a Monero guy). As I learned about the browser extensions like Alby, I thought our crypto and online IDs were to be united in such a way that it could only result in bad things -- a "permanent record" that could affect our finances.
Now I know nostr is not built on crypto blockchains and that it's not necessary to involve one's crypto wallet with their nostr account. But I didn't really understand that until I watched many videos -- more than the average human is willing to watch about something that initially sounds strange.
