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.

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.

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

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...

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!

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

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.
Re:Show HN: A Gentle Introduction to the Fediverse
on Saturday April 29, 2023 @01:05PM (#35754782)
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.

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)?

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

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