The Urbit Thread - Why you shuold use Urbit, and so should your mom

[Overly Serious]

That's a desperate rationalization. It's not like MS Windows being proprietary keeps it from being used by ransom ware. Paying for a walled garden just means your paying and you're blocked in by walls. In this garden your safety is not guaranteed and some learn that the hard way.

The software isn't paid. The membership is. You're confusing the two.

This has more in common with paying for OSS support than for proprietary software.
You're not even paying for membership. You can be a comet for free. What you're paying for is the baseline level of trust among other members and for a verifiable identity and communication.
They're also working on reducing the cost of gas back to normal levels so planets will be reasonable again.
It makes no sense to complain about it. All of us have paid more for less.

That's if you happen to know. Other than the horrorshow that is hoon, this all looks pretty nice. It's certainly a good idea.

Take it back hoon is beautifully psychotic

Also is there a way to mess around with hoon without having to set up urbit? Like a godbolt for hoon or something of the like

you've gotta run a fakezod

urbit -F zod

, since the urbit binary is the nock VM. Just think of it as a smalltalk image: you can also set it up as a language server for your text editor

Not even a Zod, you can just a comet, doesn't really matter.

Great. Now do some funny ones.

I find the MEMRI ones hilarious. Maybe you need to be calmer to enjoy them?

"Sensible chuckle" at best. I quite liked the Democratic Club one, though.
