Gossip Release 0.13.0

=====================

Gossip is a nostr client for desktop.

Gossip is open sourced at https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip

This is a major release with the following changes:

* File Metadata support (NIP-92 / NIP-94)

* imeta data in incoming events is utilized, including testing the hash,

and displaying a placeholder blurhash (until the event loads)

* Attached files get imeta attachments when posting including url,

metadata (m), hash (x), size, dim, and blurhash

* Failed media loading now shows why

* Blossom support (BUD-01, BUD-02)

* Can attach local images and/or videos to your notes, which get uploaded

to your blossom server.

* Synchronizes with your nostr-saved blossom configuration, and you can

edit that

* NIP-89 Support - Recommended Application Handlers

* Gossip collects recommendations published by your contacts

* These become menu options for opening events

* You can disable any of them you don't want

* You can recommend these to your friends

* You can import a new handler (published by an application developer)

* Support is only for 'web' handlers

* Search on relays (NIP-50)

* You must choose your search relays first.

* Followers and Followed

* On the Person page, you can view who someone follows, and who follows

them (including for yourself)

* Computing who follows them is expensive and inaccurate

* Undo Send - for 10 seconds (or whatever you configure) you can undo sending

* Thread replies now sorted by date, except author replies come first

* Cancelling a draft asks if you are sure, so misclicks don't erase your

carefully crafted manifesto.

* Inbox indicator showing how many messages are waiting

* Feeds no longer inject new events and scroll while you are trying to read.

Instead, you will get a "Show New Updates" link to press when you are ready.

* Every feed has it's own separate "include replies" switch now

* Relays can now be tested to see whether they are fit for purpose

* Zap amount can now be typed in (or slid with a slider)

* NIP-44 encryption now used for private contacts and private lists.

* FFMpeg 7.1 support

* Relay URLs now rendered as links to the relay config page

* build.sh script to help users choose features when compiling

* New command line commands: delete_by_kind, disable_relay

* Subscription batching for naddr searches

* Database compacting reduced to once per week, and handles out of space error

* Some theme color changes

* Relay scoring adjusted

* Likes and zaps data updated more frequently than before

* Default relays for new users have been tested and updated

* Many fixes

"● Anti-exfiltration: Andrew Poelstra and Jonas Nick published a blog post about a security technique being implemented for the Shift Crypto BitBox02 and Blockstream Jade hardware wallets. The goal is to allow both a hardware wallet and the computer controlling it to each be assured that the nonce used to generate a signature is actually an unguessable value. This prevents malicious hardware wallet firmware from generating nonces known to the firmware author, which the author could combine with one of the device’s transaction signatures found onchain to derive its private keys, allowing them to spend any other bitcoins controlled by those keys. The post describes the technique used, which was previously mentioned in a mailing list thread about this subject almost a year ago (see Newsletters #87 and #88)."

discours très intense, félicitations pour cela.

Bienvenue sur nostr, Sarah.

Néanmoins, je dois me répéter : j'estime que les chances de changer le système de l'intérieur sont faibles. Ils subiront de nombreuses défaites.

Honestly, I don't believe that bitcoiners are so extremely intelligent that they understand bitcoin by IQ.

We've been explaining it for years, from every conceivable perspective. Yet: only a few get it.

Do I care? No, cause it does not make a difference what explanation I might find.

Every dog knows when you throw it a bone! Sooner or later.

Meanwhile let's get ready for the masses. The transition will be a bumpy road.

Location data firm helps US police find out when suspects visited their doctor

A location-tracking company that sells its services to police departments is apparently using addresses and coordinates of doctors' and lawyers' offices and other types of locations to help cops compile lists of places visited by suspects, according to a 404 Media report published today.

Fog Data Science, which says it "harness[es] the power of data to safeguard national security and provide law enforcement with actionable intelligence," has a "Project Intake Form" that asks police for locations where potential suspects and their mobile devices might be found.

Who needs a surveillance state when the data can just be purchased by the government?

This all comes down to the power of aggregating lots of metadata. If one takes just a single app like WhatsApp where the T&C's allow for a full range of metadata to be collected by the app and passed upstream to Meta, who leaks data to 3rd parties, it is very easy to see how all this is possible. WhatsApp (just as an example as it is not known whether WhatsApp is the source of this data) knows who you talk to, when you talk to them, where you are exactly, where you live, how often you use your phone, what roads you travel on, where you visit, and lost more. It may not be able to read your E2EE messages, but it knows everything else, and its users have given consent for the data to be passed to 3rd parties.

I really have no idea how such information can be allowed to be traded and sold to interested parties. Many countries only allow such data to be collected and provided to law enforcement after a court order is obtained by law enforcement. As TikTok is still Chinese owned, I'm doubting if this data is being provided by TikTok to US data brokers. It is more likely US owned social networks providing this data themselves (purely my guess though).

I can see why more and more users are distrusting these companies which provide free services, and then sell their data. The thing is, if law enforcement and governments are buying the data to get around their own legal restrictions, I just don't see this situation really changing.

As users, we need to shun the use of such services (which is why I deleted my WhatsApp account when the T&C's changed). It is also worth trying to rather use social networks that fall under the legislation of more privacy-friendly countries. Which also makes me a bit suspicious of why the US wants to maybe force the sale of TikTok to a US company... If that happens, I'll be deleting my TikTok account too.

It seems more and more to me that social networks are the ideal way to find out who goes where and who they are communicating with... There is certainly lots of economic value in this, otherwise data brokers would not be doing such a roaring trade. They should just be aware though that they are very likely breaking the privacy laws of many non-US countries (not just the EU) if those citizens data is being sold in the USA. It's time these other countries woke up and took note of what is going on.

Dr. Patrick denkt immer noch, dass er etwas aus den Institutionen heraus ändern kann.

Unser Rufen erreicht ihn nicht, da er hier nicht ist, aber wenigstens wir sollten uns darüber im Klaren sein. Die "parlamentarische Demokratie", oder wie such immer man das nennt, was wir hier haben, transportiert nicht den Willen des Volkes. Sie / es ist am Ende. Jeder Aufruf zur Beteiligung verlängert das Siechtum.

Wir bauen lieber neu.
