I think it would be better to convey your disgust through interpretive dance - you might qualify for the Olympics and then go on to win gold!

When the kids from next door lose their ball over the fence and try and retrieve it they’re gonna get a face full of flame!

They paint their houses those bright colours because of the long, brutally cold, depressing, grey, sun-starved winters. But great place to visit in the summer months.

Yeah, all imgur.com images for me are blank, and I can’t figure out why.

I’m with you.

Too soon.

And I will reply to your reply, and boost 2 replies and add 3 upvotes, further demonstrating that Lemmy is a vibrant active online community.

Yeah, okay, I am a little bit techy, but so far I haven’t had to employ any of my limited techy abilities in Linux Mint. I didn’t even notice I was using it more, it just happened over a few months that I was finding there was no need to go back to Windows. To load programs on Linux Mint I just google “How to load program X on Linux”, and there will be a page saying, type “sudo apt install <program_name>” in Terminal and it always works and I’m done. (I’m a beginner programmer who was told to try Linux for the Unix stuff) .

If you’re a gamer, I would look up any discussion of gaming in Linux - that would be my only proviso.

I wouldn’t say I’m that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it’s UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I’m going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I’m just using Krita. I’m lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can’t be bothered loading yet.

Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that’s been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.

For me it’s just ‘When the ad…’<mute>

This post is wet with spittle…I will type this reply out then wipe myself down and be on my way.

I will upvote that pork chop.

Yeah, and I’m pointing to your pointer pointer and I’m a pointer pointer pointer. Or more accurately but less funny is that I’m pointing to your pointer-to-pointer and I’m a pointer-to-pointer-to-pointer.

Why not get those quirky Taliban guys over to America for a Twitter ad campaign, Elon. He could probably throw in a tour of Space X launch site or the Tesla car factory in Texas? (Just keep all the female employees out of sight, shh, mums the word…)

Copy paste of my research:

Nostr

• https://nostr.com/clients

• Nostr is a Twitter alternative that’s decentralized, not a Reddit alternative.

• Nostr is not P2P. Its a broadcast protocol. Nostr is pub/sub, distributed, decentralized; while others such as Matrix,mastodon, bluesky are federated and are somewhat closed than nostr.

• Nostr is just a protocol - a structured way to send and receive data. Not tied to one-email or a centralizd service for identity. Anyone can create anything on top of nostr. (https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/14ea9y3/whats_the_difference_between_nostr_matrix/)

• No, they (Nostr) are not doing ActivityPub. ActivityPub requires server-to-server communication, which Nostr does not have. They only have client-server communication. And the actual protocol is different to ActivityPub, all the way from the transport (which uses WebSockets rather than HTTP REST) to the schemas of the objects being passed. They also rely much more heavily on public key cryptography.

• Nostr takes decentralization too far to be practical for a wide audience IMO. The relay model is even more abstract than Mastodon instances (which can at least be analogized to e-mail hosts) and the public/private key system is both inaccessible (copy/paste a key or look people up in a directory-- like a phone book! Friend codes on steroids) and unforgiving (no password resets). Like much of crypto, there are interesting ideas that don’t seem practical in actual use. Curious if it pans out. (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

• But unlike ActivityPub, the Nostr protocol is extensible with NIPS (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) so maybe there is hope to fix these problems (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

• Browser addons:

  • Snort
  • Iris
  • Primal

• Android app:

  • Plebstr
  • Amethyst (getting more updates than Plebstr)

• Here is a link to most if not all Nostr clients if anyone is interested: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#clients

• Here is a link of clients that Nostr themselves recommend if anyone is interested: https://nostr.com/clients

• Full of Crypto-currency traders.
