Whoever is feeding Donald and Elon with information must be like "what can we get these guys to say next?" 👀

The current state of widely-adopted tech is a result of an advertising-funded internet, driven by a combination of digitised versions of industrial-era concepts, plus the new attention economy. It is foolish to assume that it will fit on natively-digital crowdfunded foundations.

It is naïve to believe that the current state of widely-adopted technology is as good as it can be, or that any of it is worth replicating on top of p2p infrastructure. A system designed for us to connect to each other is radically different from one involving a central hub.

It is worth remembering that the current state of widely-adopted technology is the result of an arbitrary set of decisions taken by a finite set of permissioned humans. It is only one of (literally) infinite possible states of things.

8/ EIP-7825: Transaction gas-limit cap Today, a single transaction can use an entire block's gas. This EIP caps any single transaction to ~16.7M gas. This is a low-hanging fruit to improve Ethereum's resilience against DoS (spam) attacks.

dApp idea: pidgin-like service allowing you to log in to @SimpleXChat and @session_app (and @ethstatus and @xmtp_ and...) at the same time. Sign in with Ethereum ofc. "Privacy Preserving Pidgin" or "PPP". ref:

Pidgin is a universal chat client, allowing you to consolidate all your different messaging apps into a single tool.

Encrypted messaging, like @signalapp, is critical for preserving our digital privacy. Two important next steps for the space are (i) permissionless account creation and (ii) metadata privacy. @session_app and @SimpleXChat are two messaging apps pushing these directions forward.

This is such a negative take. Scooters are typically a nuisance because they are static and disorganised. Robots are dynamic, like people. It will take a real cynic to interfere with operations. @iamcais would you prefer humans to remain enslaved in repetitive work forever?

I use very few applications on my laptop. I access most apps via a web browser. Apps can register service workers to send push notifications. Cameras, mics, and other hardware can easily be made accessible to web apps. Many web apps are "installable" as progressive web

As a user of @safe, I want to be able to communicate securely, via asynchronous text and synchronous audio (and optionally video), with other signers.

Hey @ZKPassport I love the intent behind your service. But it appears that your app requires an Android device to be attested to by Google Play in order to function properly, which installations of @GrapheneOS do not satisfy. Are you aware of any workaround for this situation?

If either @SimpleXChat or @session_app uses this Ether to start validating I will definitely use their app and shill it to everyone.

Onchain mortgages are the future of sustainable yield in DeFi. It's about time to make non-speculative DeFi with real world impact a reality!

If you are flying out of Buenos Aires after @devconnect, make sure you go to the right airport... yes... there are two: Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery (AEP) Aeropuerto Internacional Ezeiza (EZE)

A tone deaf comment if ever I saw one. If anywhere can be deemed a central point of control / failure / censorship in the world it's the USA. Why would a project that aims to decentralise want to concentrate any energy there? It just doesn't make any sense.
