What began as a goofy little Saturday afternoon experiment with a chatbot became, in some ways, one of the most interesting things I've ever had the pleasure of sharing with you all. I hope you enjoy My Dinner With Pyotr. https://paragraph.com/@thumbsup/my-dinner-with-pyotr

I agree completely. I think freemium is a sensible model. Especially when combined with an open source code base, optional patronage, and community-centric feedback loop.

I ask that you not buy $thumbsup anymore. If you have any automated purchases set up, disable them. If you read my articles on Paragraph, and a prompt comes up, ignore it. I’d say that this so-called creator coin is a joke but it’s not even funny. I think what Zora did with the move to coins, and what Base and Paragraph did by following along, has poisoned digital collectibles; perhaps beyond repair. My only hope now is that the collective consciousness wipes the memory of this idiocy and returns to actually useful crypto primitives. We built something incredible, and Silicon Valley VC money shit and pissed all over it. In every place where I’m able to, from where I mint NFTs to where I post my blogs, I intend to reverse this trend. Hopefully others will make the same decision.

Do any of you use deluge or transmission instead of qBittorrent? If so why?
