I don't really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

  • Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app

    Jump

  • Kinda wild that app stores allow something like that. I wonder how long it'll take for someone to build the same up, but with the roles reversed: Men anonymously talking about local women 😬

  • Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US

    Jump

  • Huh. On the surface, they don't sound very neutral on the weapons stuff 😕. TIL. I wonder what their underlying reasoning for this is

  • Creative Title

    Jump

  • I wonder how long this will last. The NSFW industry is insanely huge. If the current payment processors cut it off, that leaves a giant gap in the market just waiting to get filled (😏).

    If they hold firm on this, it might just be a rare opportunity for a new (and hopefully better) payment processor to enter the market.

    Or maybe just wider crypto adoption, idk.

  • Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US

  • I meant current times, not in the past. Sorry, I assumed that would be obvious. There are also some things I like about Germany, though they have a pretty terrible past.

  • This is the first thing I've ever disliked about Switzerland (not that I know a lot about the country).

  • Ah yes... NULL has been shipped

    Jump

  • Congrats! Enjoy your null 🙂

  • how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?

    Jump

  • I imagine that, when deciding whether calls to violence/murder should be grounds for banning, the reasons to ban likely outweighed the reasons not to by a lot

  • No trickle...

  • THIS. It's not only about income; it's income minus expenses.

    Budgeting was probably the most important financial tool/skill when I was living in poverty. And now that I'm in a more comfortable financial position, I still value budgeting quite a lot. It's great for preventing more money from creating more problems.

  • No trickle...

    Jump

  • In that case, a monthly budget is even more important – and might be pretty simple

  • No trickle...

    Jump

  • ...You assume that I haven't? I originally had to learn to budget when I was making less than minimum wage, to avoid homelessness. Budgeting can be even more important with less money.

  • Sadly, Americans are groomed at a young age to dive deep into debt early in life. It has become normalized for most of the population to carry some form of debt (credit cards and student loans are popular choices).

    Most people don't even bother making a budget — a task that only needs to be done once a month, and is easier now than ever, thanks to technology.

  • Thanks to web browser development, there has been quite a lot of focus/investment into JS runtime optimizations. Since the server-side runtime environments use those same JS engines, performance tends to be quite good.

  • You're not wrong about the fun, but every time I buy a car, I eventually miss having an SUV when I can't move things that are too big for cars 😕

  • Which way do your windows open?

    Jump

  • That would make the house hot af where I am. (Or cold af in the winter time)

    Also, humidity levels would increase, not decrease, because the air conditioner dehumidifies.

    ...I suppose it's not hard to guess that I'm in southern US. People sometimes die if their A/C breaks during a heat wave.

    Fun fact: Florida used to be much less livable. Its population skyrocketed when air conditioning was invented.

  • Good Morning

    Jump

  • ...ok, I'm morbidly curious. How did you manage to do that?

  • Mmmm suppositories.

    Jump

  • That reminds me of a joke:

    What's the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer? The taste.

  • Force is the last refuge of the incompetent

  • With ADHD and social anxiety, I'm more productive when the office is less social. I definitely got much more productive when I started working from home.

  • Honestly, I might not be the best person to ask, as I'm not super familiar with the underlying details of either. But, from a high level, I'd say that Nostr is more decentralized.

    (I might get some of these details wrong, so hopefully someone can correct me.)

    I've seen people say that ActivityPub is decentralized, but I just don't quite see it. I think even email is more "decentralized" than AP. With email, your identity is tied to a domain name. If you own the domain name, then you can switch email servers/providers. AFAIK, with AP, your identity is tied to a server and domain name. So if the server is gone, then your account is too.

    With Nostr, you own your identity. It's not tied to a domain name or server. If a Nostr relay goes offline (or bans you, I suppose), you can continue using your account through other relays.

    I think most people use more than one relay on Nostr (that's the default setting in many Nostr clients). If one goes down, I'm not sure I'd even notice. You can add/remove relays from your client too.

    Nostr feels a bit more like p2p, in a way. More of the heavy lifting is done on the client than the servers/relays.
