Don't forget US financial/economic sanctions that indirectly killed (and are still killing) millions of innocent people in sanctioned countries, due to poverty, lack of medicines etc. These are also casualties of wars.

I'm sure United States can afford three wars, they just need to print more money...

Yesterday I revoked some permissions on my phone's Android. I expected to break something and I was right. In Duolingo app, speaking exercises stopped working. I use the app regularly to learn Russian, so I have tried to fix it.
I granted necessary permissions (BTW I found out that Duolingo uses Google's speech recognition software in speaking exercises) and cleared the cache. After that didn't work, I reinstalled the app. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Anyone knows, what else can be done to fix it?

I feel the same... Tech is fun when it equals set of tools that you can use and then put off. When tech becomes indistinguishable from reality, it starts to be overwhelming and creepy.

I think AI will be to human learning what social media is to human relations. It will make most of us even more miserable than we are now. That's why I rather not join your fight.

The birch trees on my property are dusting so badly that my car looks like it's from the Paris-Dakar rally

"Humility doesn't mean thinking badly of yourself. Humility means thinking less of yourself".
I heard this one from a priest from neighboring parish. Somehow it sank into my memory.

I wonder why I see this bot
npub1qqqqqhu87ep5rssjejfadsnxcqaww5kqyesw0znd59py77c9c3cqfec28r
in my Primal feed although I haven't followed it? It's spamming terribly.
BTW it looks like reposts are bit broken in Primal. Unless it is a deliberate action that the user can repost the same content multiple times...

Very nice and clean site. BTW, there is an error in About section, in a link that should direct to your Nostr identity.

After banning ChatGPT, apparently Stack Overflow is preparing its own AI

Thanks, I will try this one

I am getting started with Bitcoin Lightning and paid Nostr realys. Is there any ranking of paid relays on the web? Can you recommend some personally?

Could someone explain to me what is wrong with "Foreign Agent" law, apart from that it sounds "Russian"?

Well, I don't share your optimism. Most poeple don't care about censorship, unless they are the ones that have been censored, of course. People just want "free" stuff and UI that works. Also, it's possible that micropayments will be implemented on other platforms as well.
These platforms have estabilished brands and huge resources. They can take care of users that don't want to deal with cryptography, relays, clients etc. Not to mention problematic users, like extremists, conspiracy theorists etc.
It may be too far-fetched conclusion, but I think most of people actually don't want to be free, because freedom means uncertainty. That's why I think they would rather choose centralised solutions. This applies to both social interactions (social media) and money.

Why you think it is inevitable?

Because?

I have no opinion of Elon Musk, but Twitter definitely has had a negative impact on my mental health. That's why I stopped using it.

So much for mass adoption of Nostr social...

Harmstr looks great and works great, hopefully it will soon have option to mute users

I'm trying to use Python library for Nostr, but I'm confused about subscription id. What is it and where I can find it? Could someone explain it to me? I'm using this lib 👇🏻
