That reminds me of a joke:
What's the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer? The taste.

With ADHD and social anxiety, I'm more productive when the office is less social. I definitely got much more productive when I started working from home.
Honestly, I might not be the best person to ask, as I'm not super familiar with the underlying details of either. But, from a high level, I'd say that Nostr is more decentralized.
(I might get some of these details wrong, so hopefully someone can correct me.)
I've seen people say that ActivityPub is decentralized, but I just don't quite see it. I think even email is more "decentralized" than AP. With email, your identity is tied to a domain name. If you own the domain name, then you can switch email servers/providers. AFAIK, with AP, your identity is tied to a server and domain name. So if the server is gone, then your account is too.
With Nostr, you own your identity. It's not tied to a domain name or server. If a Nostr relay goes offline (or bans you, I suppose), you can continue using your account through other relays.
I think most people use more than one relay on Nostr (that's the default setting in many Nostr clients). If one goes down, I'm not sure I'd even notice. You can add/remove relays from your client too.
Nostr feels a bit more like p2p, in a way. More of the heavy lifting is done on the client than the servers/relays.
Maybe they're vegetarian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I missed this trend. I've been full-screening almost everything on macOS for years
Heh yeah, good point. Maybe I'll just try it for a while
I heard that Proton email addresses have developed a reputation for often belonging to scammers and spammers. Do you know if any of your outgoing email has ended up in anyone's spam box?
Nostr. I think the tech is cool, but the culture seems like some sort of cryptocurrency cult

I hope this database of phone numbers, and all programs that connect to it, are secure.
(Not that text messages are even secure, but a database is much easier to extract a complete list from.)
They could have done both.
If it's not fixed by Monday, I will consider starting the approval process from the legal department that requires it from me.
I wish I had the freedom to just open a PR anywhere anytime, but I don't.
Let's not get carried away.

Right...
...ok, I'm morbidly curious. How did you manage to do that?
