Adventure awaits stranger, good luck

Folding phones are interesting, I know a lot of more Luddite aligned people want smaller phones, but honestly the bigger the better IMO. 2k is an absurd price to pay for a phone though. 2k would get me nearly 2 months rent at my last apartment, and more than 4x the most I've ever spent on an electric.

Sorry, I must not be a homie. PDFs are awesome. They're truly universal, consistent (no worries about reflowing text or some wonky UI breaking view), and they keep up with modern standards like implementing JPGXL.

My go to is usually along the lines of "this one doesn't actually have cell service, it's just a pocket computer. The other ones are my work phone and a flip phone I use like a portable land line."

Had a few dollars in Liquid via Aqua wallet from forever ago. Ironically swaps have been broken for a while AFAIK, but I was able to swap to lightning right now.

Because I don't push people to Nostr in the same way I don't push people towards RSS, Linux, or self hosting. Even though some family members are rather advanced tech users, I'm the only one who's actually made a hobby out of tech. Most people I know, and all of my family members, just use tech as a tool. None of us are big on social media either.

(I've actually only met the first IRL user of Linux less than two years ago when a co-worker tried Manjaro. I'm yet to meet someone IRL who I know uses Nostr/ActivityPub/AT, crypto, or any other decentralized protocol).

Right now, if somebody has no interest in tech as a hobby, a vanilla Nostr (and other protocols) experience probably won't bring much value to the average user. Since the userbase 'seems' less saturated with Crypto content, and with the advent of the more whimsy side of things like Ditto or alternative stuff (nsites, magazines, chats, ect) that might change in the future.
