I hate captcha so much. Am I supposed to click the glass on the bottom left or not?
Because it's a glass but it says car and has cars everywhere on the background. Of course this is data poisoning for ai detection, but if I'm a human, am I supposed to not notice the background?

funny that you assume I'm a statist lol
here's a pretty simple example of why pure 100% anarcho-capitalism doesn't work, and why the real solution is just to go 99% of the way, and get rid of most government, plus make it simple to choose among (small) communities to live in.
alice has a restaurant, bob has a farm
alice and bob enter into a contract, she pays him 5000 sats every month to get a shipment of 5kgs of beef every day.
now bob delivers for 3 months, no problems. but then one month he just decides to deliver 4kgs a day.
alice notices, and calls bob out. bob says "no i delivered 5kgs every day, you're wrong." now what?
the second alice and bob disagree on whether he delivered 5kgs or 4kgs, you need a charlie, someone neither of them hired or can fire, otherwise he's just muscle for whoever pays more.
now what happens?

who enforces the contract? if you and I sign a contract, and I violate it, who enforces it?
don't you think that we would need some semi-universal court that we both agree is gonna act as a fair third-party?
there can be multiple of those third parties of course, but those courts will have almost de-facto monopoly powers as time goes on.

I think that the problem is that we all have different definitions of what anarcho-capitalism means. Some literally mean minarchism or agorism.
A minarchist still believes in a state monopoly on courts, police, and national defense. An agorist rejects political participation entirely as counterproductive. Conflating them makes debate nearly impossible, which is why nobody can seem to agree.
Pure anarcho-capitalism is impossible and undesirable imo, but agorism is a perfectly fine system and one that deserves more serious engagement than it typically gets... especially in places like nostr since we're (hopefully) all freedom minded people here

How is it possible that a football league is able to enforce a nation-wide IP block to cloudflare at certain hours?

The LLM is incorrect there. The reality is much cooler than "your brain knows coke is red".
For example here there is no blue, and your brain does not associate coke with blue.

I may have a solution for those issues in the coming weeks.
Lower disk space (about 1/5th), significantly lower RSS (9x, close to 10x), significantly lower write strain on disk (over 500 times in fact during writes, haven't benchmarked read yet), lower CPU usage (currently 10-25x, might change), faster queries (8x), significantly faster ingest (200x).
To be clear the software exists already so I'm not speculating, but it needs a lot of work and improvements.

Over those we have some advantages, but I'll be honest with you, there's still a lot of work to be done... (multi device for example is gonna be a huge add), and for now they have some advantages over whitenoise (mostly that they're more mature)
Better than telegram:
- Nothing is hidden, the entire code end to end is opensource
- No central servers, we cannot be compelled by law to release information, because we literally do not have it
Better than bitchat:
- We have MLS, which provides forwards and backwards secrecy
Better than simplex:
- We're not associated with a shitcoin (flux)
- We are nostr native
But most important of all, we are an open protocol, one that gets improved over time, and one that anyone can contribute to, and implement if they have the technical ability, https://github.com/marmot-protocol/marmot
You don't need to ask for our permission, just build it, like the people behind @nprofile…5jp4 and https://github.com/sledtools/pika have!
