Saying: “I am sorry.”

You put their interest first. Whatever that may be.

It helps having a list of predefined general questions memorized. Like: What are your hobbies? What do you like about them? Why?

You can skip the first few questions if you already know the answers. Like going straight to: "What is your favorite thing about football? Why? You have to train a bit to continue from there. To continue comming up with questions. Like: “Do you just like to watch football or do you also play it?”

But the hardest part is actually to start and ask first few questions.

How you start is not that important. Just that you do. For example you can start with: “Who is your favourite super hero? Why? What super powers would you chose for yourself? Why? Why not the…?”

Do not forget abot “why” follow up. Or they will often close conversation with a short answer.

Conversation can then continue in any direction. Do not force it in a direction you want it to go.

You can absolutely talk to absolute strangers.

There are two ways on how to not be a creep:

1. You start in a form of comments: Something happens, you comment it. More to yourself that to them. And if they respond you can continue.
2. You randomly catch them looking at you. It must be random. You should not stare under any circumstance. Then you smile. If they do not smile back. Stop. If they do, you can repeat that a few times. And if successful then you can approach them with a simple general question like “are you returning from work?”. (Note “Where are you heading?” Can be considered creepy and stalker like).

At any point you must be attentive and if they are uncomfortable immediately stop engaging.

But this is a bad way to make a friend. Those are people you should expect to never see them again. This is just a way to make someone’s day better. This is never meany to be anything more than a casual conversation with a stranger.

Learn how to be honestly invested into people you talk with:

• ask them meaningful questions about them.
• aks them open-ended questions.
• ask them sub-questions.
• find a topic they are really interested and sparks a joy in their eyes. And go deeper. Try to learn.
• ask why question. “Why do you like this the most?”

For kids I usually go with what is your favorite school subject? Why? What is the best part? Why?.. For grownups ask about their hobbies. Why do they like them? What is the best part?

This is the single most important advice. This is about them not you. And it forms deeper connections.

Extra: Simple smile can really make a strangers day.

Strictly mathematically even the whole world is a subset of the whole world.

That is great! Where can I access it? This would greatly help my wife with her work. :) She is on linux, will there be a Linux/flatpak/apt version?

How it that different from IPFS? ipfs.tech

Or even better Veilid?

That last part seems rather unbelievable between good friends. Have you seen something like that happening to someone? I cant imagine this happening with my friends since I only have few but close friends.

Going to IP directly could redirect to your first domain. This would trigger another request to your domain and could result in your logs.
