If you have a sustainable business model, you don't need the network effects. Threema is fine with a smaller userbase because they have a business model that works.

If you're not going to show how much money you get via donations, I'm not donating. I'm not going to donate more than you actually need, for example.
No compilation step needed.
YEP. It's funny how it's always the multi-millionaires that talk about the importance of God, giving back, being honest. And "the rest will come naturally". It's absolutely sinister gate-keeping.
The comment just got me thinking of crypto currency in general as an alternative. If someone had something to say about Monero, they could see my comment and engage
In terms of privacy, I don’t see using Monero as different from using Cash.
Yes, you can go into advanced settings and copy a payment proof. But then how do you get it to a retailer? What does the retailer do with it. It's not part of the normal consumer flow use case, and that tells me that people still think of it like a toy and not a serious tool.
Do I need an Apple Watch in order to track sleep quality? What if I only have an iPhone?
What experience do you have that is so in demand? Or is the disability attractive to employers because of DEI reasons?
My understanding with WASM is that you can run full desktop applications in the browser. Wouldn’t that mean you could include the server as well?
> Backend servers will be created on-demand to host your game, and will be automatically shut down when no one is playing. This means that you don't need to worry about getting and managing servers for your game; that's all handled by us.
This is a bit jarring to me. Because everything else about your platform is extremely open. Open web technologies. But then the server management is closed. I'm sure this is just the best way to do it for now, but for some reason I was hoping for something that would better match the ethos of the rest of the technology, idk...
Maybe I was expecting WebAssembly to run a server from my browser?
To be fair, you wouldn't need an "outdoor office". Everyone could stay remote and just work in their backyard.
Your logic is sound, but I’m just not finding any info that backs up what you’re saying.
There are other ways to write safe code than just reference counting systems. And arguably, a software engineer would learn more best practices by managing memory more directly.
For many, living in a city like that can be just as isolating, if not more. Because being surrounded by so many people and not having any real connections is a different kind of hurt. It's sort of a cosmic joke at that point.
Note that this is at odds with a school of thought in Nostr that says each different niche app or niche interest should use a different relay.
Your suggestion would be a different way of thinking. Primarily one that is focused on maximizing different event kinds for each niche use case rather than having less event kinds and more single-purpose relays.
The problem with solutions like Nostr is that users don’t own their data. Relay operators do. Once you post data to a relay, you are giving ownership to them. They decide if it lives or dies, not you.
Yes, that is exactly why I need one. I'm not joking when I say that is the only reason.
Other applications that run on Windows or Linux have been very confusing to me in comparison. Garageband always felt intuitive.
The article shows that you can disable Primal's spam filter. And I think they are saying that in the future, you can use other spam filters or none at all and just stick with your friends' mute lists.
