Getting roasted.
#TheCurrentThing
I thought we'd have only fans earlier in Nostr, TBH. Seemed like a given with zaps, and the nature of the job. But I guess fiat rails are still more powerful for models.
So many memories coming back. She sounds good!
I'm going to reach 2 weeks without checking Twitter! Not even lurking.
Sometimes, I feel like I miss some of the news, and I'm very close to hitting that X icon.
But I haven't. I feel more relaxed here.
Because I'm not fed notes from the algorithm - just seeing the notes of the people I follow, and the notes they feel are valuable to share.
Also, the notes aren't created to make me angry, or to invite negative feedback. They're not click-baity.
And there's no FUCKING ads!!!
So, I like this Nostr experience. It feels more organic and genuine.

Yesterday, I listened to the last episode of What Bitcoin Did.
Good one, fun to listen to: https://fountain.fm/episode/S7hb3aMjbXMYsbHpIDNl
I've never met Peter, but I've been listening to him for years.
And I'm gonna miss his episodes on my daily walks. Because chances are I'm not going to tune in for topics or guest I'm not familiar with or interested in.
Anyway, best luck with the new show (and the club, and the bar, and the mayor elections, and whatever else) nostr:nprofile1qqs2auxkkgfgylem580xrztp8ek5sf83s86k0vfq2feuz6y4lkhskgcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0lxprea and thanks for the value you created, and the good times!
Cheers.
URGENT: PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY COMMUNICATION RIGHT NOW!
on 4th Sept 2024 #ChatControl regulation representatives of EU goverments will resume work based on a secret document according to Patrick #Breyer, former Member of the European Parliament.
Help to mobilize everybody to defend our #privacy of communication and its developers, investors!
If no preventive actions from your side now, this regulation will be endorsed on 12/13 December 2024.
According to the draft regulation dated 28 May (Council document 9093/24), ChatControl deploys to do, for instance:
🔻 “upload moderation”, users of apps and services with chat functions are to be asked whether they accept the indiscriminate and error-prone scanning and possibly reporting of their privately shared images, photos and videos.
🔻Scan by “artificial intelligence” technology previously unknown images and videos;
🔻If a user refuses the scanning, they would be blocked from sending or receiving images, photos, videos and links (Article 10).
🔻End-to-end encrypted services such as Whatsapp or Signal would have to implement the automated searches “prior to transmission” of a message (so-called client-side scanning, Article 10a).
During the last discussion on 24 May, the Council Legal Service made it clear that indiscriminate chat control scanning of non-suspects is still envisioned and remains a violation of fundamental rights.
Nevertheless, most EU governments are determined to go ahead. https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2024/05/2024-05-28_Council_Presidency_LEWP_CSAR_Compromise-texts_9093.pdf
🌎 Tell your goverment and parliamentarians, that the proposal should be rejected altogether!
🔴Is your government in favour?
→ Ask for an explanation and for your government to revert its course.
🟡Is your government abstaining?
→ Ask why and demand that they take a strong stance against chat control.
🟢Is your government opposing?
→ Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like #Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal. Absent such revision they should ask the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal as it stands.
🔴 In favour of ChatControl: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden.
🟡Abstained: Estonia, Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria
🟢 Opposed the proposal: Germany, Poland
When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/
I sent another email to the permanent representation of France, but it feels like flogging a dead horse.

nostr:npub1rgy6uu2haeaey2nh5hhs85zjvd486cs5wegrv0unjw5na33y0gjsjhe3y3 did you send as private zap, anonymous zap, or simply as a non-zap/LN?
No idea. I'm using NWC. I clicked, and selected the amount...
Did you receive my zap nostr:nprofile1qqspw5udc2nzw6wsj3plrrphe0343744h0ucz9e4g248chl3w8kh03qpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7z0ykt7? I see the lightning icon highlighted on Amethyst. But there's no transaction on my Minibits...
I've been trying to add a private home relay to #amethyst but it's removed every time I close the app.
It's the relay from my Start9 node, with the local extension for when I'm home.
Am I doing something wrong?

You recommended Mistborn a while back. I finished book 1 yesterday. Starting book 2 today.
Entertaining so far. And I like the universe. Just a bit hard to identify with Vin, and the romance.
On one hand, it's not counter productive to antagonize a tribe. But on the other hand, this tribe can use another client, and still enjoy Nostr.
It does feel like this sometimes.

First time I do an update on my nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz for the new nostr:nprofile1qqsrk63a8wentzpk5ex3eqpf9wtww6vwcddzuh9y2800567n4ulwhpqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcygedr2 version.
Very smooth!
Not sure it's the hardware, or the OS, but I'm very happy with my new node.
