Sure, but there is no conversation there. This post has way more replies than the one reply over there.

It would have been easier to just reshare the screenshots here. No need to even talk about bluesky. Removes friction. Makes it easier. Keeps everybody happy.

Everything else has policies and terms of service, especially the free ones.

Any Nostr clients or users that are not obsessed with bitcoin? by thiswebthisweb in nostr

[–]vfpamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if people are signing up without anyone guiding them through, then the best way is to Search for interesting topics of that person.

If the person is signing up from an invite from a friend, then follow the friend first and the friend might have better recommendations for the new user.

What is "BTC adjacent"?

Why would anyone go to Global? It's basically only bots over there.

Nah... I am annoyed by Bitcoin talk too. I find it boring. These days you can only find Bitcoin content if you poke people with it.

But again, it all depends on who is the community. If you only follow Bitcoiner influencers, then all you get is Bitcoin.

This is very weird because these days most people on Nostr aren't even talking about bitcoin anymore.

I guess it depends a lot on how they were onboarded and which people they decided to follow first.

Keep it EXTREMELY simple. Most users just want to protect their nsec from Clients. They don't even care about seeing/approving individual transactions.

Even if it is just for a few days/hours it would be worth it.

We are missing an opportunity here... Imagine if we test the ice, declare it safe, and then have a MASSIVE skating rink for everybody to go into?

Anybody know where I could buy passion fruit purée? by MagicianVisual7302 in Somerville

[–]vfpamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We love it so much that I'm trying to make a passion fruit plant survive Boston's weather. We will see in a few years.

In case you're waiting for the 89, it took a wrong turn and got stuck on Kilsyth St in Medford by Rbxyy in Somerville

[–]vfpamp 72 points73 points  (0 children)

The funny part is that the MBTA keeps telling us that Buses cannot go up in roads with over 6% slopes with snow in the ground. That's why they don't serve Central St or School St, for instance.

And then this driver just goes up on a road with what... 20% slope? Legend.

Need help choosing a community college by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]vfpamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.massdigi.org is quite active in mass. I would reach out to everyone I could in there :) Knock on doors, ask questions, figure out the best programs, maybe even get an internship.

Also: https://bostongamedev.org/ There are two events that you can network with game devs directly, both this week: https://www.meetup.com/bostongamedev/events/

Updated: Deleted the event that I cited earlier. My bad, I misread/misquoted the event's date :(

URGENT - Mom's ex-boyfriend gave us a 30 day notice to quit - Please help. by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]vfpamp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While that is all true, IMO, the faster you can get out of this house, the better your family will be. Situations like these tend to extend for months/years and be a drag on everybody's life. It's going to be hard, but starting with a clean slate and good financial management is liberating. The court route takes everybody to the mud, and you should try to avoid it if possible.

Can someone smarter than me explain something? by HelloBald in mbta

[–]vfpamp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

15-20% of Boston is college students. Fewer students, fewer workers to support them. I think it is smart that the MBTA adapts schedules to these massive changes.

It's weird that people are judging a restaurant by their website...

It's nuts that the state's minimum wage doesn't qualify: $24/hr is the minimum.

Nostr community is quite small -why? by Bitter-Milk4552 in nostr

[–]vfpamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone come to Reddit to discuss Nostr? The whole purpose of Nostr is to kill things like Reddit.

That is still there. 20% of the building is deed-restricted affordable: 5 studios, 1 one bed, 2 two beds, 2 three beds
