nostr:npub1yxd53jkacz02yxfskkcmuwpscnfgzxx4mfpem6fs96a0jze8dfasgx3ylt delivered a 🔥 talk at the #BitcoinPolicySummit. The content led by the #HumanRightsFoundation was the highlight of the event. This is the work that matters: Bringing together people, ideas, resources, and communication tools in service of freedom and human thriving.

Casually predicting Vibe Coding in the 1990s. “Many technical skills, such as programming, will be less valuable than they were in the early phases of the Information Revolution. Human language interfaces to computers will ultimately make it possible for individuals to tell machines what they want without learning a programming language.” Cc nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
And Star Trek predicted it in the 1960s.
Love seeing new groups forming on +chorus. Here’s one devoted to art created with physical materials: https://chorus.community/group/34550%3Af4db5270bd991b17bea1e6d035f45dee392919c29474bbac10342d223c74e0d0%3Aart-mbiy43ug
Which type are you?
Type 1: I struggled, so you should too.
Type 2: I struggled, so you don’t have to.
People cannot thrive in systems built to break them. Break the cycle, not the people.
Disappointed to be missing the amazing #FreedomTech talks today at #OFF25, but looking forward to catching them on the replay. Had to leave Oslo a day early because I gotta get home to see my baby girl graduate elementary school.
Bullish.

If only, Goose. If only…
I want to build a world where all our systems—social, financial, and technological—are more honest, more human, and more resilient. That’s the real promise of decentralized technologies: Empowering people with transparency, data sovereignty, and algorithmic accountability—building systems that are, ultimately, structurally immune to centralized abuse of power and authoritarian overreach. #MyWhy
Tell me about your day…
I was driving the struggle bus today. 🫠 Love that you had that moment with your mom. 💜 I had a moment last week like that with my dad. I don’t know how many more of those I’ll have, because time passes quickly. I appreciate little moments like this.
Them: Liz, why did you completely change your career to focus on eliminating single points of failure (#Decentralization) and empowering people to own their data and give informed consent for its use and monetization (#DataSovereignty)?
Me: 👇
From LinkedIn’s article on the 23andMe ch 11 filing: "More than 15 million people have given the company DNA samples, which could be sold in bankruptcy proceedings."
Thank you for this! Yes, yes, and more yes! 🙏🏻
Started a new company last week. Whee!
We’re working on building health data tools on #nostr @NosFabrica that could be applied to research applications. Join us in our upcoming challenge! https://nosfabrica.com/challenge/
I love this! Thanks for sharing. I’ll join the challenge.
As a social psychologist working on and researching decentralized, distributed web tech, I want to use tools for data collection that align with the DWeb ethos. However, I haven’t yet found any that are compliant with the research ethics board requirements (e.g., HIPAA rules). For my latest study, I’m using SurveyMonkey to host the 10-minute questionnaire. You can find it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3CTGSB5/. It’s far from an ideal solution.
#AskNostr
- Is this a topic of interest for other researchers here?
- Are there tools built on Nostr that you’re aware of that can be used for academic research? If not, is anyone interested in trying to create something?
Happy birthday!!!
Posting a picture from last week’s trip to #Singapore 🇸🇬 for #TOKEN2049 as a way to try out the new preview feature on nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch / Verdict: It works great! 
We live in an age of digital ghosts. Late last year, my friend Darren died unexpectedly. We had spoken a few weeks before his death and made vague plans to meet on what would turn out to be the day after his last on earth. I’ve thought about him often since then. I can still hear his voice, that languid drawl indicative of an East Texas upbringing. His contact information remains in my phone; I can’t bring myself to delete it. As a result, I got a notification earlier today that he had joined Telegram. It was a gut punch. Of course, he didn’t just sign up. Rather, the person who received his discontinued number from the phone company did. It’s made me think about the digital traces of ourselves we leave behind and the technological artifacts that those who live on maintain. His contact details are still in my phone. Damn, I miss him.
Quick thoughts from a (relative) normie evangelizing #Nostr on day 1 of #TOKEN2049 in Singapore:
- Of the dozen folks I’ve spoken to, 2 had heard of Nostr before, 3 realized they had heard of Nostr but didn’t realize it until I started describing it, and 7 had never heard of it
- I didn’t have the time (and the people I talked to didn’t have the patience) to onboard in the hallways at the event; it has to be faster and easier (I know, this isn’t news)
- The “a-ha” moment came when I showed people my profile and feed on nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch and then immediately opened nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and showed them all the same stuff was there, but the two clients offer different user experiences and features

I agree on the UI. I also use 3 clients, but that’s because I want different things from them. Part of what I like about Nostr is that I’m not stuck with one app to rule them all. Different features and different experiences, same social graph.
nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 is a good example of integrating user privacy education into a #Nostr app. The message is partially obscured by the new note button, but conveys the point. I wonder how we can also find ways to include definitions of terms that, although fairly common, may still be unknown to some users (i.e., metadata).
