Upgraded to 2017! https://nostrcheck.me/media/7b43b1cba4f78d8e684a81a0cf5fcd4ff41e0b06411ba840d675cabb9e0d45a3/4c7b036d50577c2ce6e7d6598ef94cef06d1c9a219de5fb8921060f4f408dd40.webp Now I can see all the Nostr clients in their entirety. Shout out to #anonostr and #satellite and #Nostrchat the clients I found that worked just fine on an old desktop browser. I am sure there are a lot more. But a friendly word for #Iris and this very #Nostter client from which I typeth. I was excluded from your Nostr experience until I was able to upgrade. You might say, get with the program, old fella, catch up. Fair enough, but maybe listen to the perspective of a younger man who knows his shit - Obi at Fedimint. His epiphany on developing a truly global entity: you have to think of the poor people first, not the ones with the disposable income to throw their cash at solutions. There are many more billions of poor than comfortably off. It is likely the former who will most need the opportunities that the Nostr protocol offers. Just saying. It's marketing 101, know your market. Now, I have a couple of years to work out how to get Linux Puppy working. I go it installed and booting up through the BIOS, but now its stuck and Linux forums are enough to make Einstein scratch his skull.

That's the first time I have ever been part of a 1%! Thanks :) To answer your question about the percentage of people who are poor in terms of access to internet and devices. Lots! This is the percentage of population by country who use the internet. I read that as the % of people who can afford a device and the fee to get online. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IT.NET.USER.ZS?locations=A9 Globally about half of homes have a PC. Phones are the main access point online now, though, but the developing world doesn't have 82% smartphone use like in the US or Europe. https://www.statista.com/statistics/539395/smartphone-penetration-worldwide-by-country/ Obviously Nostr devs aren't responsible for whether people can afford to have an internet connection, but some apps are clearly caught up in the built-in obsolesence trend. What are considered "throwaway PCs and devices" that could be affordable to millions of people, won't run browsers that are required to access a cross section of Nostr apps. If a guy can write software to pay for groceries in Africa with bitcoin on a dumb phone, it can't be beyond the wit of a community that wants to be global, to make sure its apps and clients are visible on old browsers.
