I've started categorizing internet technologies/services into 3 categories based on how their infrastructure is architected. Centralized: Basically every big service you know. The users of a service talk to one server or a network of servers all controlled by one person/organization. You're left up to their whims. Distributed: There are still clients and servers, but the servers all speak a common language (known as a protocol) and can be operated by anyone. Some protocols have varying degrees of trust, with the Fediverse placing the trust of someone's data and identity in a single server operator and Nostr using trustless cryptographic identity and distributed data storage. Peer to Peer: There are no servers. Users of the service directly communicate with each other, with few to no middlemen (BitTorrent trackers, STUN/TURN servers, etc).

#RaceCrossWorlds I got to 1000 points, and got the win streak nameplate! I even went on a 5-WIN STREAK :o I may keep playing on the other days but I'm out for the first day :>

This is one of the reasons why I wish that artists could get on Nostr, so that people can directly support their work. Sadly many artists seem to have a disdain for cryptocurrency.

The nerd in me wonders WHY the filenames exported from the Switch App have both a ULID and a UUIDv4 in them...

Why does Xbox have to have the most broken auto-updater ever Almost every time I want to do something on that console it has to update the games

I just wish people could get over being scared of cryptocurrency and actually see Nostr for what it is, not just Bitcoin or conservative politics. I once made a blog post about Nostr and some people who run a project that runs on the Fediverse and ATProto were calling Nostr users (as a whole, not specific people) bad names.

Bluesky (and the AT Protocol it runs on) is quite versatile like Nostr, and it has much more mainstream appeal than Nostr. Nostr is still the most trustless and distributed social network by far, unlike Bluesky where there are some layers of its protocol that are more centralized than others.
