In my opinion,
I think there are more happy linux users than windows users in the world.
Most if not all windows users just "tolerate it" but that's far from appreciating it. It's a burden that they learned how to handle.
And this is the biggest reasons for linux to be slowly and steadily growing in market share. The only obstacle is people resisting to change, which with age I've accepted as a respectable feeling.
Reading Tim O'Reilly's essay on the economic future of #AI, one sentence stands out:
"By product-market fit we don’t just mean that users love the product or that one company has dominant market share but that a company has found a viable economic model, where what people are willing to pay for AI-based services is greater than the cost of delivering them"

Today I've figured out how to reply when another couch philosopher tells you that obviously "there are job offers, it's just people who are too lazy to work". You just ask them "then why aren't you changing jobs?"
Free market is clear on this: if the supply of job positions exceeds demand, wages rise. And if employers lack employees, then they're ready to pay more, so you benefit from changing jobs! Isn't capitalism just great?

Panel talking about dark markets on nostr.
Nostr can be quite anonymous and encrypted and connected to payment via bitcoin. Can it therefore do Silk Road? Allow anonymous markets?
Nobody wants to publicly advocate for selling illegal drugs, but yeah, sure, people could do that. There's even protocol types for market places.
Relay owners might get into legal issues if they are forwarding illegal market listings. But this is true in general, there are also illegal images and even illegal text.
Nostr relays and Devs might find themselves in legal trouble anyway, due to the general legal crackdowns on internet requiring age proof and id on websites obstensively to protect kids. These are freedoms we all need to fight for. Perhaps brains will drain to more free jurisdictions? Devs move to where open development is legal? Not the panel at least. They want to say at home.
