It's not an accident that some of the people who have received the most money for building on Nostr now sound the most bearish on Nostr.
They thought the money was indicative of wider public interest, and the speed with which the protocol would gain popularity, but it wasn't.
It takes time, for viable use cases to percolate up, for the necessary specs to get teased out and mature, and for sustainable teams to establish themselves. Those are the teams that will build the things that make the protocol popular.
I see green shoots. 🌱

The more I see of the world, the more I am convinced that Christianity is the only philosophy that got marriage right.
But I think masculinists are wrong about what it got right.

In the interest of fairness, a sound counterargument to my incorrigible penchant for mildly-naughty gentleman.

Women are attracted to men they find intimidating. Crazy women are attracted to men they find scary.

I'm so out of the loop, on here, that I never even notice when hellthreads happen because even my frens aren't invited.

I'm loyal like a dog. It's arguably both my most-charming and most-infuriating personality trait.
I've been told that it's mannish. Women are supposed to be fickle and focused on trading up, or they undersell themselves. Which is probably true.

It's just not worth it, to do an #infrastructure project and charge too little money because it's automatically a steady stream of work, that never ends, and can sometimes spike up. Each additional user increases the potential workload further and decreases the overall performance of the system.
Better to just live with having fewer users and eat the cost difference, while hoping to eventually grow out of the red.
Crunching the numbers for the #gitserver...

Update on the public #gitserver idea. Trying to spit-ball what the fee would be. So that you can decide, if you can afford it.

Okay, we're looking at circa 60k sats/year/user, for 2GB.
You could buy additional "users" linked to the same npub, to get more space, if necessary. But that's already a lot for most code projects, even including web pages and a demo video, or something. It's the "free" amount GitHub offers, so that's what we're trying to compete with.

Last call today, and then @npub1qdj...fqm7 gets a task ticket from me, to start pricing out possible setups.

My DMs used to be full of sleazy, creepy men trying to chat me up. Now they're full of people trying to sell me crypto retirement schemes and begging for money.
You never appreciate what you have, until it's gone. 😏

Hello. We have a new feature implemented, in #Alexandria, which might interest some of you.
We have revamped and expanded the index card menu. You now have the ability to display publication details (index metadata) on the cards, including book summaries, ISBNs, and links to the npub profile pages of the publishing npub and the author. (If the author has a npub and is referenced in the 'p' tag, as with @npub1der...xzpc's book, below.)
This allows for publisher and author to share in the credit and the zaps, and to both be notified of interactions with the index.
You also have the ability to open an original URL-source of the publication (usually to a web page, PDF, LaTeX file etc.), even if the publication is also available in event form. Currently, it opens outside the app.
This opens up Alexandria to being a true library catalog of all publications, even those under copyright or where there is no digital version readily available. They can be referenced and interacted with, through the index cards, in a manner similar to GoodReads or other "book review" sites.
This will become more apparent, once we add things like kind 1111 comments, to the index events. For now, we're still revamping the parser and the table of contents, but they should be replaced #thoon. Thank you for your patience and support, while we rebuild, and may you have a good evening.

I'm in the rather odd position of posting self-portraits into a feed containing (white and Asian) women half my age, who are much thinner and better-looking than I am. A few of them have all of their clothes on (usually), and a subset of them are even real.
Sometimes I wonder, if I'm annoying everyone with this odd spergy habit (probably), or if the sort of unapologetic realism of a countenance only an artist could love adds some greater depth of humanity to your feed, that otherwise is full of perfect people doing perfect things in perfect places.
I don't know. And I'm too autistic to really care.
So, here's another one.
