NOSTR clients?

Hum!..

Didn’t know that.

It will maybe come with time like @azdle@news.idlestate.org said…

O saw that post fly by in the distance some time ago (it’s from Fri, 22 November 2024), but only skimmed through it because it was to long for that moment. It still is, so I’ve added it to my “read it later when you dare” app.

On one hand, maybe Christine Lemmer-Webber agrees with me in the sense that ATProto might end up being somewhat decentralized. The DID problem could perhaps be circumvented. On the other hand, here’s a quote from the text that I did like:

When you build architecture that in theory anyone can participate in, but the barrier to entry is so high so that only those with the highest number of resources can participate, then you’ve still built a walled garden. – Morgan Lemmer-Webber, (summarizing things succinctly in our household over breakfast)

The quote might argue against my assumption that just having the possibility of owning a (fediverse) server might entice enough people to participate in the ecosystem… just like email, I guess.

Again: didn’t read the full article. Only tldred it and presumed the rest.

Maybe, I don’t know. I’m not familiar with how ATProto works. But the ATProto is not very “decentralized”, is it? Or is it just a case of not many people caring to link their instances to ATProto servers?

Maybe the problem I described earlier?

Also, curation of a collection is not so easy on lemmy - links roth, loose interest, get debunked…

I whish I could have a “folder” on my bookmarks curated by my team at work, another with my family, follow the interests of my significant other(s) - as long as they want to share them with me, of course…

It lacks the Firefox bookmarks integration, I guess… :-)

That said, I foresee that all of those that now host a shinny mastodon or lemmy instance would not be as many - plain command line, no visuals, boring server stuff is a lot less sexy. But those could just link their instances to a server (they could host themselves as well, of course).

Maybe this is already happening and I fail to recognize it?.. How do you host a lemmy instance, for instance? Aren’t there “services” supporting your instance?.. I honestly don’t know.

See above (sorry, should have replied to your post, had I not get confused with the fact that later posts appear above earlier ones).

Quite the opposite…

Usenet was decentralized. Email is decentralized.

Don’t know the site you’re looking for - might have never seen it. But I saw a tip a while back: name YOUR scripts something like “,script” (with a comma, or other confortable to type character as 1st character). It would be odd to ever find a colision.

I just don’t do that though! Too odd!

That’s a shame! Maybe there’s a place for an “OSMService”, serving maps to apps.

“MApps”?

I’ve purchased OSMAnd on Android and I love it. But would like to try out Organic Maps.

I wonder: Is there a way to share the maps between the two? Or am I forced to keep both copies?

Thank you all. That’s what I thought - no way to make the query the way I was thinking of.

I realize that, if i’d like to have a program search for repos not configured in sources.list, then I would have to specify the repo as well (the https:// link, I mean).

The website half-fixes the problem, since it tells me the release the package might be in. But still doesn’t tell me whether it is in main, contrib or non-free (section?).

Don’t worry about me creating a frankendebian by mixing releases - I destroy my system in other more subtle ways like adding appimage applications as if there was no tomorrow.

Someone already mentioned The art of command-line. It’s a start.

And just use it… you’ll get better at it with time and practice.

Also, make sure your use of the CLI enhances your workflow, or it won’t work.

Idea for next social media platform: call them circles.

One more: exactly like lemmy but call them rooms.

Another: exactly like every other one but call them… groups (ups, you might have to fight google though - “groups” might be trademarked!)

Sorry for the sarcasm, but shouldn’t this be set in the spec for the fediverse protocol already?

Another idea would be to implement a robust end to end encryption for real privacy.

Shouldn’t there be a service, coded in C or some other low level language, that would serve as a hub for messages and statuses - a little bit like email - and leave the interface with the user for things like mastodon, lemmy?..
