Last Notes npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Oh, btw, i can give you a serious answer. Due to the Korean war, and some other stuff South Korea has been under heavy American cultural influence. They rejected stuff from Japan, which is also the reason Starcraft popped off over there, because all they had were american/westen computer games. So they were basically isolated in that respect from the rest of the region. The American pop industry was just copied and pasted, and cranked to over 9000. So...I dunno, its kind of rich as an American to shit on KPop while you guys culturally raped that country...ITS YOUR THING SIR. Somehow its even more fucked up than what you guys did with those Disney Club children. Look at Britney now sir....should have left her alone, LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE. But yeah its a 100% artificial thing, those bands/idols are top to bottom manufactured products, including all the plastic surgery. Which, if you were not aware, is also next level in South Korea in general; which is no suprise if you on the one hand bombard that population with western beauty standards they physically can never achieve in the first place, and add a dash of USA-degenerate-plastic-surgery-industry. South Korea is a broken society, has had the lowest birthrates in the world for a while iirc. The fact that that country is basically its capital, and that that capital is in range of essentially trebuchet fire from North Korea also does not help. Regardless of how backwards North Korea is, all they need in terms of military tech is the ability to throw hunks metal over a wall and it will obliterate South Korea in an afternoon. They have literally exist at gunpoint 24/7/365 for all those years. With a very impactfull manditory military service as a result. So, here you go. Now you understand KPop and you understand why its the same thing you had 25 years ago npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Now i generally don't trust you to design anything right in terms of Nostr, and ive been contemplating a Nostr based OS for a long while now. So lets have a call before you make a bunch of things replaceable events for no good reason at all 🧐. After that you can ignore me anway and fuck it up regardless npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yeah totally agree with you that JPop is a lot better npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant yeah, its actually amazing how far you can come with a bit of effort currently. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I would say....half weird. #nevent1q…5h94 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant De groei in technologie brengt groei in potentie, maar verminderd niet de algehele moeite die in het leven moet worden gestoken. De groei in potentie betekend de groei in risico, en de groei in risico betekend vergrote verantwoordelijkheid. Kort gezegd, vuur is link, maar een kerncentrale is stukke gevaarlijker. Probleem is alleen, ik zie onze samenleving verkeren in het laatste stadium van een imperium in verval: Decadentie...but who cares, YOLO right? We zullen steeds meer tijd en moeite moeten gaan stoppen in het overdenken hoe we nieuwe technologie gaan implementeren, maar dit doen we te weinig. Verwonderlijk is het niet, als je na gaat in welk kamp ''the cutting edge of sience'' zich bevind....bij ''the 1%''. Wanneer we het hebben over nano-tech, bio-tech en alle andere vlakken van technologie die de transhumanistische natte droom werkelijkheid moeten gaan maken zien we een grote overeenkomst...ze zijn rete duur. gigantische onderzoeksinstallaties, duur betaalde wetenschappers en lange onderzoek periodes maken de volgende stappen in technologische ontwikkeling nauwelijks te bekostigen. Gelukkig bestaan er zoiets als multinationals die inkomsten van over de gehele wereld bij elkaar schrapen zodat ze instaat zijn tot dit soort ontwikkelingen....met een patent natuurlijk. Het zijn ZIJ die bepalen hoe JIJ je technologie zal gaan gebruiken en onder welke voorwaarde. En hebben deze mensen jou belangen op het oog? JA! Tenminste, als ''a brave new world'' toevallig ook jouw beeld van een utopie is, en je welwillend staat tegenover het opgaan in ''the borg collective''. Waar en of de mensheid een lijn gaat trekken weet ik niet, maar het wordt een keer tijd, anders komen we in een situatie waarin we onszelf niet eens meer mens kunnen noemen. Ik vind men maar iets te wel willend om zich deel te maken van een gecentraliseerd netwerk in ruil voor kortzichtig comfort( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDYqclPUmYM ). Fuck mijn privacy, ik wil mijn Iphone, tablet en GoogleGlass, stfu en take my money! Want de gedachte dat je MOEITE moet gaan steken om er voor te zorgen dat je op verantwoorde wijze omgaat met technologie is natuurlijk bizar....ik bedoel, dat betekend verantwoordelijkheid....en dat is iets voor volwassenen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDYqclPUmYM npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Dames en Heren, bij deze een korte docu over de reformatie: Deel 1: http://youtu.be/g68tGKm-Ios Deel 2: http://youtu.be/u0Iagn-bjm4 Geeft een verloop van opkomst Luther tot en met 1547 de oorlog tegen de Duitse protestantse alliantie. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Afgelopen zomer heb ik een driedelige interviewserie gemaakt voor Café Weltschmerz over de implementatie van Blockchain technologie. Ze staan nu eindelijk online, en aangezien ik nu met m'n harses op 't internet sta, deel ik het maar: De institutionalisering van de Blockchain https://youtu.be/w49ZbwHc31c De problemen met de politieke kant van de Blockchain: https://youtu.be/8D28BPmrUj4 De mogelijkheden en beperkingen van de Blockchain: https://youtu.be/FZzQrM0RFKI?t=15s npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant lets see how weird this little facebook export will be for my feed. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant "Anything else should be built reusing technologies that have longer track records and are more efficient." If you mean how it is done with for example GRASP/ngit, we agree. But i don't think we agree... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant read this as your mom yelling towards the backseat at the start of the vacation roadtrip npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant well, the thing with leading a charge is that you need vanguard people. The masses only come after the battle is already won, obviously. But, that said, onboarding individuals is basically pointless (unless they show up out of themselves by themselves). Combined with “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” as many Bitcoiner for example will have probably noticed in their journey. Far better would it if you can get a community leader to bring his flok over, but that is also non trivial. So in any event, it will just be a grind regardless. The point of my innitial post was to (re-)frame that grind from something negative (moving away from platforms), into a positive perspective (moving towards Nostr) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Alright, lets tackle this: First, privacy is not really a Nostr talking-point. Aside from apps not needlessly spying on you, and if they do want all your base to be are belong to them, you simpy use another app because you can. Nostr is first and foremost a publication protocol...i.e...public; it was not designed to be private. Second, censorship-resistance from its political angle indeed is not all too interesting to most people. But the internet itself is censorship resistant, was build for that purpose, and is very much the reason why it caught on because it also means fault tollerance. The fact that some content creator gets away from view because it gets (shadow)banned for whatever reason, or platforms simply stopping existence, or some AWS panick shutting everything you use down ARE reasons why Nostr is simply better; because it does not (necesseraly) suffer from those things. You don't need to self host anything, Nostr is delibaretly not P2P. To quote the intro of the ''white-paper'': "it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.". As for keys. Humans generally are perfectly capable of savekeeping things. It is not some foreign concept, we do it all the time. They are just not as familiar with cryptographic keypairs yet. This is just a concept that they need to develop intuition around, in order to addequately leverage the practices, tooling and systems we have and can come up with to mitigate some of the rougher edges. Saying ''they are not able to grasp that concept'' is frankly stupid if you look at a bazillion of everyday things we ''demand'' the general populace to ''grasp'' in order to function in daily life; you just never reflect on them because they are already normal to you. Data-loss is first up a bad relay setup; and second not some incomprehensible thing. What, are people suprized they lost their stuff if their house burned down? Same thing with the key stuff....do we have ''house rotation'' for the moment your house burns down? Are houses doomed and will never take off because a lack of ''house rotation''?Do people expect that magically their valuables, like photo-albums to re-appear and are they confused they are gone if their house burned down? Ofcourse not. All of this is such a cold take, because basically what you are complaining about is the fact that people have yet to develop an intuition around a completely new paradigm. Well...duh, obviously. Zoomers can't read analogue clocks anymore, is that because analogue clocks are some mysterious ultra-turbo-mega complex thing? How about you try to explain how to draft and post a letter to a zoomer, or how banking worked before the internet. You will probably have just as much of a hard time explaining that as you have explaining Nostr to newcomers. In first instance, this has nothing to do with Nostr as such, but just with the fact it is new, and therefor unfamiliar. They lack the concepts, the words, and some image on how things roughly fit together in order to incorperate it into their world-view. The thing is, non of this actually stopped any new paradigm from ultimately becomming normalized. So that brings us to the question as to why a transition to the new paradigm would occur at all. That, i already gave a brief outline for that. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yes, asks a lot from both the newcomer as well as the community to get people through that process. But this is normal. If you look at all those 90s internet instruction videos, you on the one hand will laugh at how silly they are sometimes, but also realize how much ground work it takes before a general intuition is created among the broader populace; its only after it has been well integrated/normalized and a generation grows up inside that environment do all these things start to feel self evident. @npub1utx…50e8 the referencing in the post above did not go so smooth, time to throw fable in 10 parrallel workflows on the matter. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Well, you can say that, but what is your thesis behind that statement? I can shortly re-iterate my reasoning, which is based on the fact that the (potential) UX is better (pick your app, pick your algo, not having to manage multiple accounts to access various silos of content, smoother paywalls). And that the horizontal network-effects throughout various social-graphs/usecases ultimately is more powerfull than the vertical social-graphs per use-case. I.e. we are not competing head on, we are ultimately on a different plane all together. (i did not mention timelines, i have no idea on the timelines. There are also various domains as wel as geographical and social groupings that may run on different timelines) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant depends if the relay keeps a register. It can, such as with the piramid system. But at that point that is a particular account you have with that relay, and as such your ID is not an account. You can have all sorts of accounts in all sorts of places for all sorts of reasons based on your npub, but that in itself does not make your profile an acount. This is different with the platform model, where the ID and the account are the same thing npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant We are not in retreat, we are leading a charge. Molon labe #nevent1q…qe0f npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Nostr is not an 'escape', not a 'refuge', and going to Nostr is not 'fleeing'. This mindset/frame is not just unhelpfull, it is incorrect. Shelter is always shitty, and hopefully temporary. Nostr is the next thing, it is better, it is moving forward. People did not 'flee' television to seek refuge on the internet, they dude not 'escape' letters for e-mail. yeah yeah, i get there is a lot of development work still to be done, lots of areas completely unexplored and underdeveloped, and rough edges remaining in those areas that are better established. But we have to understand the fundamental enterprice here. Yes you give up existing established network effects, but you move towards a domain where the network effect potential is far greater. Yes you will probably struggle a bit feeling comfortable dealing with keys, but the flexibility you get among an application eco-system is liberating. Yes you will have to wrap your head around relays and event-kinds but the experience of freedom of association and unsilo'd data is far smoother. If you understand what is going on, you would not even want to stay in the legacy system, because you see if for the dead-end it is; those draconian governement laws are just nails in the coffin, the corpse itself already rotting. If you understand where Nostr is heading, you'd want to move over; not out of panic being stuck inside the decomposing body, but because you see the new horizon. Fortuna Nostr npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant 😏 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ha!, let met copy paste sections of my script, because that i can do: "Now, there’s a popular idea that Nostr should just fade into the background. That you, the user, shouldn’t even know it’s there; the way you use the internet every day without a clue about TCP/IP. And look by all means, make things smooth and easy to use. I’m with you there. But keeping people clueless about the whole model? That will bring us nowhere. Because I can’t see how you’d ever use this new freedom while having no idea it exists. It would be like never teaching anyone the internet — just pretending it was TV, radio and newspapers, because the new notions seemed to complicated." And the conclusion: "But if we let Nostr “fade into the background,” we get none of this. You’ll download an app, and it’ll hand you what looks like an “account,” because that’s easier. It’ll tuck the relays out of sight, because that’s easier. Then you’ll download a second app, get a different “account,” and some different relays you never chose — and you’ll be right back where you started: a slightly nicer version of the exact thing we were trying to escape. So hold on to these four:
You need to know about keys — so you know you’re free to use any app you want. You need to know about events — so you know your posts outlive any single server. You need to know about relays — so you can move freely, and stay impossible to silence on the one hand, but go to places that are relevant to you. And you need to know the app is a tool, not a service — so you can understand the landscape you are navigating" npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant It really is a shame my btcprague presentation won't be published for a long time (somewhere in november they told me). But in there i argue why this is a very dumb thing, and those user should know. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Thank you, this went a lot smoother than it did with @nprofile…pt5w, which just concluded in a tautological dead end unfortunatly. #nevent1q…0n9s npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Though...i am omitting that we just borrowed the word from English in this particular case. If you look up the definitions of "account", most have to do with money. And we have our own word in that context, its called a 'rekening'. Rekenen is calculating in Dutch, so 'place where calculating happens', i.e. some register/book, managed by some bookkeeper (in dutch its boekhouder, 'book holder'). My bank account is a 'bank rekening'. Anyways, ultimately referencing the same root principle of keeping some score. Ive done some ontological reflections on the matter, and i think it boils down to cryptography breaking the notion of a register by using a numberspace that can't be accounted for. I.e. its to large to register, and thats the exact reason why it works, for if one could, the secret key would just be a matter of a look-up table in some register (there was this website that did this, it just generated this supposed register/look-up table on the fly in your browser of all the bitcoin keys in existence, with the joke being that your keys were on that website) The other aspect is that the number/name is not determined by the bookkeeper, so it can't apply some incremental logic. I.e. user 000001, user 000002, user 000003 in order to mitigate the vastness of the numberspace npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Its also account, etymologically it comes from counting, latin roots. And you know what we call a bookkeeper? An accountant. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ah...SO ITS NOT AN ACCOUNT npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You speak of a Nostr account; an account is accounted for. By whom? Where? In what register does this accounting take place, how does this work? Perhaps the question does not make sense to you for a reason Alex.... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Where is this Nostr account registered, who keeps this register and where? I.e. who is doing this supposed 'accounting' ? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Luckely there are multiple John Wick movies to watch together npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You can't win. Its a new paradigm, people simply don't have the concepts ready in their mind to comprehend what it is they are looking at in the first place. Any short sentence will 'fail' one way or another. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant je hebt iig een druilerige dag uitgekozen om te vertrekken npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Howdy Nostr, TL:DR: Link to tool to port your facebook (JSON-)export to Nostr below. As the Web of Trust Foundation, we are in talks with an organization called SETUP, that are currently running a "Facebook Museum" ( https://www.facebook.museum/ ). The notion of a facebook museum is tongue and cheek on the one hand declaring facebook to be 'history', but also open up a dialogue on the question what we are going to do with all that data that is inside facebook currently; all those documented personal lives, communities etc. Their intent with the museum is to focus on the emotional side of things, and the process of mourning that comes along with saying goodbye to such a platform. A while back, @npub1qe3…zefe and I went to the opening of the museum, and we introduced them to the idea of being able to continue your digital life outside of facebook. Recently we had a talk with them, and introduced them to Nostr. They never heard of it before, and it was somewhat of a curve ball for them. Whether or not the idea of porting over a facebook account to Nostr, similar to what Sebas is doing with the Nyves project ( https://nyves.nl/ , Hyves was a very popular Dutch social media platform that eventually lost to facebook and went away) is a fit for what they are going for in the context of their museum remains to be seen. It summer, so that conversation will continue after the vacation period. In the meantime, i went ahead and build a demo for them to illustrate what is possible. And since it it works (atleast, i think it does), might as well throw it out there for those interested. It is purposely....how would you call it...poetic. Its all set within the context of a vigil. The export is the diseased; the stuff you archive are the heirlooms; you can donate content to the museum; you can leave your condolences; and you can continue in the afterlife! If you are going to try it, i would advice to make a JSON-export inside facebook, instead of the HTML one. At the end of the process you can log-in with your existing Nostr profile and transfer your selection of facebook data towards Nostr. try it here: https://npub1rlx0fx3yfp6nk9lejl6m2zdg33388hxssd90dw535wx8kpxj5knq5lp6ua.nsite.lol/ PS: as far as i can tell everything works fine, but it was build as a demo for illustration purposes I would suggest using the default random generated keypair first, see if everything is ok, before using it on your own keypair. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant And at no point in that process did anyone bother to actually taste it? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Regular pepsi now also has it...fuck these people. Burn them, burn them all npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant To make it clear, i am not making a health point. I don't care if aspartame is good or bad for you or whatever..the taste of it horrible and the fact they managed to psyop the masses of people into ignoring how disgusting it is made me lose faith in humanity a long time ago. Worse are even NPCs that swear you won't be able you can tell the difference between diet coke and normal cola and then when you demonstrate it to them with a blindfolded test a bazillion times in a row simply because the difference is so fucking obvious since one tastes like absolute dogshit, they get a brain error. Oh and aspartame just hapens to be the worst, but most of the artificial sweetnes suck balls npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The fact you willingly consume aspertame without having to throw up for how utterly fucking disgusting it is, makes you an even bigger faggot than the whole vegan thing. Its should be banned and the people who decided it was ok to put it into drinks (its even in a lot of the not-suger-free stuff) should be put against the wall.

And amethysts had the option to timestamp stuff, that also worked. The problem was that the OTS-proof was made over the event-ID of the event. The issue is, that with Nostr, the event-ID is subsequently signed; this means that your proof, does not proof if the thing your are proving was actually signed. Let me dig up my article for you npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I know a guy that desprerately wants to give me two domains.

The practical issue is that its inefficient to store all these timestamps in seperate events, which is mainly why fiatjaf stopped, too much overhead. Ive fixed that issue with a new approach, sticking the timestamp directly to the event, but this method demands from relays ,as well as clients to atleast fail gracefully, so it will take some lobbying to get peoples parsers not to panic from the fact there is additional data there they are not expecting. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://blossom.primal.net/9cdcc43d8a8c8e80b84573f75d91c24699fcee4ff088264399c420a3ee085705.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Wisp actually does a decent job at filtering most of it atm fyi npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Curration, either based on relays or lists of some sort, or dynamically produced via WoT npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Have you had a go at relay based feeds yet? I think you will find some of what you are looking for that way, and also learn a new Nostr technique in the process. @Dawn will be your entry into that space. She also hosts a nostr study group that might be worth checking out. #naddr1qq…9vh5 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I tried to ensure i have some of it in my life atleast, by making myself responsible for a forest. But currently I am able to help an electrician buddy out installing solar panels, battery systems and stupendisly heavy thick and unwieldy electricity cables; its the best access to income I have that still leaves time for me to focus on Nostr. Though its a bit funny i am sending him invoices for instalation work from a techo-ethics business. If/when the web of trust foundation has money il hopefully be able to get back to the Nostr stuff full time. Well you obviously get callus, but the point is that it is a 100% guarantee you skinn will receive some damage in one form or another, however minor. Yes, i think a total lack of exposure to this stuff will make you fake and gay, and you can see it in a section of the ''young urban professional'' population that will hire a "professional" for the most retarded things because they are completely incompetent themselves. But it also translates to their worldview that lost any correspondence with reality because its just devoid from any practical insight, and allows them to go off into lala-land only relying on theory and models, imposing havoc on society because of it. https://youtu.be/jdH0BM_ph0w npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This is why i think TEPP will make sense for managing agents, just as much as it does for...euh...."managing" children. Both can't be held responsible and thus ought not operate in a permissionless environment. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant its true, shameless superfan. As someone who does not hit the follow button, i rely on npub.world a lot npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant one of the things about manual labour that fascinates me is that you ALWAYS take physical damage. Cuts, bruses, scuffs, splinters etc. Its all minor (hopefully atleast), and you ignore it (untill you bump into the wound, and then you continue ignoring it right after). Its something atleast myself, don't consiously take into consideration when heading out, its almost a silent dimension of the thing. My guess is that the long term wear and tear of joints, back etc. is far more in peoples consiousness when manual labour is concerned; that in the long term it will just grind you up (and the actuall accidents ofcourse, easy to spot the carpenter, just look for the guy with a missing finger)...but its just there in the day to day as well. I dunno....its just such a contrast to computer/office work, which only rarely touches your hp, whilst here it is inherrent on all timescales and levels of severity. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I disagree because it is in "quotes" and social graphs (isnt that actually what a 'social network' is?)are leverageable beyond microblogging or whatever npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Stores are a bit empty today https://blossom.primal.net/ad40cefbf07ccd866bbe48e6ba3849009072f9f0e60d3855da1b17c98c4c8728.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/6e78031384bdb5bcc7f56d00d9e85d69e46ac7222ea8210dc78729567a7fb114.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/7f56a45e549d5f9a38290402f67312938dd1067ed9fd388c01c0ac24a3006afc.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/1e08d0ed8a2c65b567c6ddebca86461179f8d4f3f6f54b62a2b3100ced546613.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/b615b0f443e346c0dbc90fc4a6148650abe6f8c3ac9c9fc2f419633ef223e949.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/a0ed0647c7894d21f54abf0456c7dc065f41e4ce33f174e9f9a75de3c760fb32.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant For it to be 1984 mind control it would have to be a 'fact' that has been altered after the fact, and as far as i know (but perhaps big brother is more potent that i give it credit) this is not the case. Stop being hysterical and accept that the America's are effectively our moon bases from a couple hundred years ago. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RgN9ijwE4 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Don't know who made this, but thank you for your effort. If any content creator wants to have a crack at creating a non-AI version that is just as short, then i very much encourage them to do so. I also invite everyone to watch this 6minute40second video, and crititque it, the narative etc. What is unclear? What does work well? etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q7DpLXaRmg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant One thing to take into account, is that protocols compete; so eventhough on the surface it might make sense that these are groups of people that would be a prime fit to learn about Nostr, that may as well be the exact reason they won't be a receptive audience at all. After all, its a threat to their vested (in whatever way) interest. There are other factors compounding on top of this, some perhaps a bit petty and/or dishonest, but human non the less. Case in point is the lefty protocol civil war going on beneath the surface where ActivityPub/fediverse people have absolute distain for ATproto; i have encountered this a bunch of times already. And those interests are real: the EU in a concrete sense has started to pump money into the 'space', and thusfar it has been biased towards ActivityPub, and they try to keep ATproto out the door arguing its just another American topdown big-bag-of-money-funded phenomena, which atleast from a narative angle works because a lot of this is centered around becomming independent from US 'big-tech' to begin with. I am glad you are there, perhaps I/we should have been there, but i do wonder whether it is actually fruitfull. But, at the very least, and this has been frustrating/disappointing to me, is that Nostr is often not even part of the discussion, or a consideration; far to often because they have not even heard of it in the first place. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant There was an academic guy inside the field of distributed computing, that came up with this fancy system, and as an argument as to why it could work, he gave an example of something out of Sweden. After the presentation during the questions, another guy remarked that you can't give a Swedish example because its cheating; you can impose any system on Swedes and it will work, because Swedes are fault tollerant. I can look it up for ya if you want. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Its ok, we are not mad...you are now perma banned from Nostr though. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant is there accessable documentation on the spec already? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you think nuking a megacorp for a 1 time pay-out is going to solve any budget problems? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Either way, it is going to solve fuck all. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant An account is something you have at someone else; a keypair is not something you have at someone else. But ive tried to make this clear multiple times already and all i get is a tautology so i give up. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant nice and flat, as landscapes should be npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://blossom.primal.net/c1cbea763d8297d11ade169a7a31401e23116eb38680d2454e4f99e8f8104fd0.gif npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant FFS VITOR, ACCOUNTS EXIST IN A REGISTER BY DEFINITION, WHAT IS THE REGISTER, WHERE DOES IT EXIST, WHO OWNS IT? Non of this makes sense in the context of Nostr. And yes, we most certainly can have accounts with relays on Nostr, thats exactly what piramid does npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hence, i am not arguing petty semantics, this runs at the core of what it is we are doing here. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The whole point of Nostr is that your ID is not an account. You can use your ID to have accounts; my npub might be registered as particular relays that allow me to see particular content, hence i have an account with that relay. Its due to the architecture of platforms that there is a conflation between the ID/profile and the account; in that context they are the exact same thing. But you would obviously note it to be absurd if i were to claim that your name, Vitor, is an account; at the same time you understand that your name is registered in various accounts for all sorts of purposes/services. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Please answer my questions and/or look up the defintion in a dictionary and see what the various definition have in common. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant yes, because it is not an account. Where does this accounting exist where this account is registered and who owns this register and as such is doing the accounting? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You know what, if you want to play that game: Put the parents in jail as well while you are at it for negligence because it is impossible to claim ignorance to the negative/harmfull character of Meta's services. I hated Facebook from the start as much as the next guy, but it is obvious we have to look at this a layer deeper and conclude we simply set up an architecture that gave a hand full of corporations more responcibility than they could possibly carry. The fact that this postition of power was corrupting, and that a corporation is not going to stop itself should both not be to anyones suprise and as such are completely un-interesting to me. What are we going to do to fix it? Nostr. #nevent1q…cag8 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant please replace ''acount'' with ''profile''....or any other word, i don't care, but don't call it an account npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you mean a browser? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant LOL, ive been installing power lines at a farmfood factory, ive seen more grass in the past 2 days you will ever see in a lifetime. No pictures though npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant They will haunt you to the end of the earth; policies like chat controll itself are an indication of this npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant men kan beter over je fiets lullen, dan over je lul fietsen npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant not counting all the Bitcoiners i know/are friends with, same. But at the very least they have heard of it 😂 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Excluding the continue's because it hit its timewindow limit npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I ran through my entire fable budget on 1 prompt npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Its this weird protestant quirk of frugality and diligence in line with sheperding the earth in sight of predestination; At the same time your fate is set and unknown, but prosperity is an indication of providence. So displays of wealth are shunned, one ought to remain sober/humble; but at the same time wealth itself is a proxy for virtue hahaha npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Leather, they are made out of leather (or synthetic whatever). npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Very poetic Sir. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Your mom is like a garden that we all should visit because her rent is due npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant absolutely true that those platforms game their own metrics, if not just to paint a pretty picture towards advertisers (as well as users/content creators, investors). So in that sense we perhaps should not be too shy in communicating metrics....the problem is that once a metric takes hold it instantly becomes useless because all of it is trivial to screw around with, including zaps. I guess some ''institute'' could try to do some actual network analyses, and publish some rapporting, that is actually possible but its a non-trivial endevour. Something like @npub1xsg…zazx could do it for example, but then you still run into the issue of getting public attention for those numbers; every idiot is able to look up the bitcoin price. Ah well, we can always try to make some sense of these numbers, for what its worth: https://stats.andotherstuff.org/ But in general i think Nostr will have to make its way into the heads of people the hard way, by telling people about it.
