Got my Satoshi Coffee yesterday from @npub1a6z…vhjk and they sent me some free coffee filters since I mentioned I was out of them. Thank you guys! I will follow up with a review. For now I will share this awesome packing tape they used: https://nostr.build/i/98b2cf9f49cce44e15b538239b0211dd47c1ea7eb55e3e9ce0085f171e05b855.jpg

Can you post about how to zap since the Apple crackdown? I’ve seen that people are still zapping posts, but I can’t figure out how to do it myself.

And since apple only lets you add webapps to your home screen via the safari app that they control there’s not really an incentive to make webapps work better on ios. Is that right?

Finally convinced my wife to get a lightning wallet, and sent her her first sats. Feel free to share some with her. Maybe then I can convince her to get on nostr too! https://nostr.build/i/db319d5e177badd6ff1b1f20bcad4488f8ad9d980fdf7d9f71a0aa0ca9280b55.jpg

Done! Shipping was steep but I was glad to support you guys and I look forward to trying it. You guys should sell other stuff like chemex filters. I could use some. https://nostr.build/i/a3cbc406ff2b03903cf7c6fb313b393fe00dd8a2b5e190e62254026a4b4c3bd6.jpg

People today that judge public figures of the past based on the standards of today (ie Thomas Jefferson had slaves and is therefore irredeemable) are so blind to the fact they themselves are, in all likelihood, enjoying the fruits of slave labor for their own lifestyles.

I’ve heard from developers that web apps are slow and don’t work as well as apps from the app store. Is there any truth to that?

I can’t imagine it will be worth it. “Supplements” are just poorly regulated drugs and often have inconsistent quantities of whatever the active ingredient is.

At one point a few people (namely Madison and Hamilton if I’m remembering correctly) pushed hard for a amendment to better define how the electoral congress functioned, but it was abandoned after Hamilton died. Now presidential elections are just a popularity contest with the contestants hand picked by the most loud and extreme from both sides.

Think about how “bipartisan” committees work. Let’s say there’s a committee of 10. So they’ll say “in order to make sure the committee is balanced we’ll make it rule that 5 members must be Democrats and 5 members must be Republicans.” Sounds great until you realize they are literally entrenching the parties into the system to the point where the mere concept of anyone from outside those two parties have any power or influence is laughably improbable.
The biggest screw up of the constitution was leaving the election system and the pricess of legislation vague. In their attempt to leave party politics out of the constitution, they ended up letting these systems get co-opted by the two major parties. It has just gotten worse and worse over time to the point where the two parties completely control the entire election process, and so of course they build into those systems incentives to reinforce the strengthening of that power.

I keep hearing one group say “web apps fixes this!” and another says “web apps suck and there’s too many limitations on what you can do on them to make them good…”
I have no idea which side is right though. Conceptually it seems like web apps fixes the problem, but I have never coded and app so I have absolutely no idea how to gauge the feasibility of that.
Also, I guess if apple wanted to they could still practically block apps on their phones by making it so the functions needed to have a certain app like nostr aren’t available on the ios safari app. Not sure how feasible that is for apple, but seems like it would be simple to me.

I’ve actually never heard that term before. Is it regional or did you make it up? Sounds like something out of Futurama.

Fry: Borked? What’s that mean.

So true. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to convince a single person of this. It is hard to conceptualize. I first learned of bitcoin in 2012 and it took until probably 2020 for me to fully understand this. Reading “The Blocksize War” was the single most influential thing that turned me into a fully fledged bitcoiner.

I think most goldbugs who dislike bitcoin fundamentally misunderstand why gold is valuable in the first place. So many believe that the monetary premium of gold is based on it’s utility as a commodity, but in fact gold is not actually used very much as a commodity (~10% of what’s mined every year is used this way. ~90% is used simply for it’s monetary properties) and that makes it more useful as money.
They also get the value proposition for gold jewelry backwards. They think “it is used in jewelry and that makes it valuable,” but actually it is used in so much jewelry BECAUSE of it’s value.

Wow, so well put. I have to admit i was in the “ordinals are spam” camp but I think you converted me. Spam is usually predicated on the attacker being able to spam indefinitely for little or no cost. That just isn’t the case for ordinals.
Also, the blocksize wars also converted me from bitcoin skeptic to a believer.

Did you ask why Amazon can have “credits” on their audible app that i can exchange, on ios, for an audiobook. Isn’t this “selling digital content” outside of the Apple Store? What is the difference?

What are the trade offs for doing a web app instead of a native app store app? Is it just easier to make app store apps, or is there actually more functionality compared to web apps?

Just heard a good analogy for free parking:
Free parking is like if a fast food place gave free French fries with every burger
1. Even if you didn’t want French fries you’re incentivize to eat them to the detriment of your health
2. Anyone who does choose to not eat the fries still has to pay for them
Minimum parking requirements are like if the government forced restaurants to provide the fries for free instead of letting the restaurants choose

Probably a bit of both, but I’d bet the former is playing a bigger role. Early adopters tend to be more engaged.
