That is why this movement has legs.
Bitcoin and Nostr are shelling points.
We organize around them and they keep us together, while making us rich and free.
It is being stored by the app, because unless it is being stored by another application like nos2x or Amber, the client can, and in fact needs to get the nsec back so that it can sign and decode with it.
The app can't just reference it, unless the keychain does the signing and decryption, which I don't think it does, but maybe I'm wrong here?
It is just storing it in a different memory location. It doesn't protect you from the client being malicious.
All our thoughts are filled with errors. If someone lacks (much) thought, then they certainly will have more errors.
That is the normal state of people: filled with errors.
Evil is the attempt to stop people from correcting their errors.
Thus #nostr.
If you put your nsec into a client, then that client has access to your nsec. The question there is, what, if anything does that client do with your nsec? So if you are on Primal, and you enter your nsec, does Primal send your nsec back to a server someplace and keep your nsec for nefarious reasons? This is why you might use a browser extension like nos2x or Amber on android.
In your last paragraph you discuss the servers (in #nostr we call them relays) being centralized. If you go to this page, and give it some time to load, you can see that there are hundreds of relays all over the world.
#Nostr relays are very decentralized.

You are very safe from being cancelled on #nostr. But that doesn't mean anybody will pay attention to you. The concern is getting an audience.
Pulled out my Android phone after a long while and tried some of the new Nostr Android apps. Man, zap.store is slick. nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9 well done. Amber too, nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5
Yeah, nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 is the best.
Schelling. He played point.
Hmmmm, I haven't had that. Did you run vanilla android on this phone and have it connect before you switched over to GreapheneOS? Wondering if it is the phone.
It's hella fast. I've signed up for Venice.ai, but this is way faster.
nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 I haven’t been able to connect to my home WiFi for a while now on my Pixel 6a, even after forgetting the network and re-adding it. Is there some OS / device-level issue and fix for it?
What happens when you try to connect?
God how much I hate closed protocols.

I just spent the last hour debugging a Linux user / permissions problem.
On the one hand, maybe I wouldn't have to deal with this on a closed system.
On the other, as soon as I finished, I was so grateful for Linux. I was grateful for the fact that I know that there is nothing in this computer that I can't change or need permission to access or edit.
Where would we be without Linux? It's really the base we are all working on.
Love open. Love Linux.
