Oddbean new post about login | logout When I was at Princeton, I talked about how many applications don’t need statefulness and are better without it. It’s not the easiest discussion, but the TLDR is that I shilled all the work you folks are doing on it. If you are near Princeton in early March, they are hosting a decentralized social media workshop that now includes Nostr. 😎 https://image.nostr.build/83a54dbc226aca0f02d16fd0096902e326a7281b4f71a2341c4b3371d73e3e69.jpg
Amazing! 🔥
Bitcoin and Nostr doesn't need Princeton.
It's not about Princeton. It's about reaching more plebs.
we hear the same from bitcoin influencers who, in whole or Parr, reject nostr for Twitter. I wonder if their primary motivation is building their own brand, or helping the mission. Associating with the Princeton name helps the former, and I didn't see that many plebs in the audience. 🤔
"...a world where social media is collectively owned and governed." I can hardly think of a darker or more terrifying world for social media. It should read '...a world where social media platforms are transparent and users are sovreign over their feed.'
🤙
Well, as a counter. Just because something is decentralized, does it really need to be stateless? Should it be? There are a lot of nice things about application state too.
