Oddbean new post about login | logout Good luck getting regular niggas to use ssh or socks 😂 I've already tried that.
Good things get wrapped into invisible UX and adopted without notice. "good luck getting regular people to use SSL certificates!"
That's what browsers do. Nostr autists aren't solving any problem unless they write a better browser (than firefox)
This is a very powerful, useful and interesting new development. There's no reason to piss on it because it didn't also rebuild the entire world. Everything doesn't have to be relevant for every normal person on earth in order to be useful and exciting for some (at first).
It doesn't matter if I piss on it or not. It doesn't matter if it's exciting to autists. It needs to be useful for a good chunk of people or it's another joke fad.
We disagree. New things need to be useful to 1 person first. Then 3, then 20, etc. How do you think we got anything?
All software I use was useful to millions of people from the beginning. Browser, media player, terminal emulator. Remember the app economy that didn't happen? Now you know it's cause the modern userbase chose 10 apps and nothing custom. Regardless, what problem does Nostr solve? Talking about bitcoin was never a problem
"until," not "unless"
Semantics 😀
