Let's see... Just today, in their presentation for the next patch, a child character got a new outfit, and a teaser that the next archon (god) is a kid - again. xD

I sometimes wonder wtf they're doing, ngl...

I am actually surprised IPFS isn't leveraged more for this.

This is quite neat. Been using DaddyLive to watch Bundesliga with Kodi, wrapped in some random extension... Rising Tides, I think it was?

No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)

...and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet "used to" work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.

Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^

Here's a brief: Instead of tweeting to one server, you tweet to many. When you and another person share the same server, they see you. Those servers (relays) can also be broadcasting your messages to other relays, so you might end up indirectly sharing servers as well. Because there are so many servers that potentially sync data, it is supposed to be "uncensorable". Each user is identified by a public key, and signs their message with a private key.

As for the SN aspect; you follow people. Hence the Twitter comparison.

Now what I did not mention on purpose: You can do microtransactions in bitcoins. And if you read that and thought "oh god no" - then yeah, exactly. xD

My biggest gripe with cryptobros is that they have built some actually good tech; like IPFS. But then they ruin it with their coins. Filecoin, seriously?... That said, the sheer protocol of Nostr is actually damn impressive. But man is it verbose (but not as stepp as I thought) to get into... Still, a social network is made and broken by its community. At present, Nostr is the latter.

Spent a while there now. Yep, its Bitcoin, everywhere.

Though if you doomscroll long enough (heh), you MIGHT find someone worth following and reading. ...might.

...and still won't pay a coffee! :D

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)

Was thinking the same - this looks like a prime usecase for IPFS, honestly.

Honestly, the interesting tidbits you learn as you dig yourself into that rabbit hole is actually quite intriguing and fun. So yeah - I'd say it is also quite "fun" for the process itself!

C: What if you used emojis for pointer (*) and deref (&) signs?
