I hate that I like what Threads is doing. This means others will be charmed by it, too, and we need to pull people away from privatized platforms.

Bob Newhart was one of those familiars from the past. You remember the familiars, even if they were in the background. My parents watched his show, though I at that age was never a fan; Bob would come on Johnny Carson and I'd see him at night with my grandpa, as we both dozed.
As time goes on you lose the familiars, more and more of the anchor points that establish relationship with the world around you. Family dies, and it leaves a hole you can't articulate even if you gather the strength to look at it directly.
And at some point, you realize the twilight of your youth set a long while ago, all while you weren't looking.

Again: victory only comes one way here.
Reject the false "utility over privacy" dilemma, and start making privacy tools that are useful, and meet the definition of a good tool in general. If an app or an OS or a device or a hammer "gets out of the way," it will be easier for people to adopt, and the incentives to stay with iOS, or Google, or the privacy infringers, disappears.
I used to watch a weekly Linux show, which highlighted various developments in the operating system. It was a great show. It was also produced on a Mac, on Final Cut, because Linux had nothing that came close to the utility of this tool at that time.
If "privacy" means using bad tools, people won't use them. I won't use them either, because I no longer have time to spend on tools.
Thankfully, this is not what privacy *has* to mean. We can build good tools that are also privacy-preserving. There doesn't have to be a tradeoff.

I think we agree that companies can take the concept of a phone and then use it for negative ends -- but that's the reality of a moral neutral. You can take a gun and do very evil things with it.
In the end, what I think important here is that there need be no tradeoff when it comes to protecting privacy and building a great tool.
When I used PGP as a kid, it meant I could email two people I knew with relative safety. That's because it forced a tradeoff in terms of usability and technical knowledge.
I now use Signal to chat with pretty much everyone in my world. Everyone in my family. That's because it's simple. It's the very definition of a "good tool," in that you pick it up and just use it and don't think about the tool itself.
GrapheneOS is an example of a tool approaching this point, although it'll always have small technical barriers. It is very stable, and "just works."
So, when developing "freedom" or "privacy" tools, whatever we want to call them, we have to keep this in mind. If they challenge the average user, they will always fail to accomplish what we want them to, and we'll have to settle for the false belief that privacy involves tradeoffs. Moxie succeeded with Signal because he'd learned this lesson by growing up in the same environment I did.

Dunno if you saw my second comment here, but I'm not talking about the morality of the companies involved. Just the morality of the tool itself: a gun is a moral neutral. A phone is as well.
When we choose chainsaws or pens or pencils, we choose them because they do a good job and get out of our way.
-
@ 8afb75fc:efd149b2

The success of Linux on mobile devices supports the point. Click here, update this, and move on. Certainly, it can be finicky (moreso than iOS), but Android is at the point where we can say it "just works." And as a result, people use it and like it and are all set.

I love Linux and all it stands for, but Desktop is just not a good tool.
A good tool gets out of the way. You don't know it's there: it requires little maintenance and does not impede the act of creation.
The problem with Linux Desktop is that its maintenance becomes the hobby. The tool becomes the purpose. That's a bad tool, and tangentially, it serves as a warning to the Nostr community. What all you hard-working people are creating is a means, not an end. The key to good design structure, as far as I see it.

I personally reckon X no longer provides an open API for clients to build off of for the same exact reason Facebook never allowed third-party access: they want the user data for themselves, to process and sell as they see fit.
In my estimation, there's very little chance that we will devolve into a single client, but the problem is that we're at a point where everybody's shipping their crappy version, begging for someone to come along and create something solid. When that happens, one product will dominate... for a time, setting a new standard for anyone wishing to create.

One problem with nostr:npub10qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsg9arpj -- I can load everything exactly once in Brave browser, before it sends me to a perpetually loading circle that never ends. Close browser tab and you're out of luck.

A STORY FROM THE LIFE OF ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA:
According to the story, the funeral of a rich man was being celebrated with great pomp in a city in Tuscany. Anthony was present, and is said to have commented that the dead man did not deserve such honour since he had exploited and oppressed the poor. “His heart is in his money-box”, said the Saint, echoing our Lord’s words that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be too”.
So far, so good; but the story goes on to say that, following Anthony’s words, a surgeon was called in, who cut open the dead body and found no heart! A little later, when the family opened the dead man’s treasure chest, there was the heart! As a result, the dead man was not buried in the splendid mausoleum that he had prepared for himself, but in a cave by the river.

It's fine and I'll live with it, IF a) it actually works as advertised, and b) submission of content is voluntary, instead of automatically working in the background with every piece of input.

Of course the vampires came after nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6. Of course they did.
The beautiful thing about what you people are building is that it's above politics, or the political views of any one of us. I've seen people with chasms between them in politics work and build and joke respectfully via this protocol. That won't change, no matter how much the world around Nostr wants to drag it back into the status quo.

1) Subscribed to TIDAL yesterday because they did us Nostriches a solid.
2) Went down the rabbit hole of how audiophiles utilize high quality streaming.
3) Spent a bunch of money.
At least it'll all sound great.

Angel Hernandez has retired. For #MLB fans, the temptation is to perhaps rejoice this day, but consider: we need our villains, and they need us. By the metrics, he wasn't the worst of umpires, but he drew the most ire. A generous and godly man, it seems he's always comported himself as a gentleman.
But boy howdy, could he have bad games, and we all let him know it. It was part of the fun, and now that chapter is closed. That he never backed away from bad calls or accepted responsibility for them sealed his fate as a hated character, a permanent heel on our beloved diamond.
Fare thee well, Angel, and thanks for the memories. C. B. Bucknor will have to do, for we who remain.

Of course, nothing excuses the fact that it's just a bad machine by comparison. The M series running macOS (the rest of my machines) is unlike anything else.

I bought a MacBook Air i7 just months prior to the release of the M1, and let me tell you: it's aged like milk. It sits in my bed (celibate's privilege) and is the absolute worst machine I work with.
And I know it's intentional. Apple what's that i7 MacBook Air dead.
