I think that nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 by nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 is the first app to be better than any other app out there, BECAUSE it is a nostr app.

I don't care about rando-commentors under YouTube videos, AirBNB stays or Amazon products.

But I do care about what the people I follow think. That is why I follow them.

Tying what was once walled gardens of comments, to one main social graph I think is one of those innovations where the lowering of friction passes a tipping point.

I want to talk to nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a about a nostr:npub1n5r9lpxqewnmpmux7hfdz40xecq30z52x0sef7vend6f0vdjyqds020ngn podcast, or nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m about The Rest Is History, or nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft about Linux Unplugged.

I also want to find new people to follow, and the comments under a podcast that really inspired me is a great place to fine new follow.

This isn't true.

Why? Because AI's are software, and software can't hold private keys.

Think about it. Imagine you are a software program, and you want to hold bitcoin. What are you going to do with your private key, such that the person who is running the computer you are on can't get it?

You could encrypt your private key, but then what are you going to do with the key to that encryption? Encrypting the key leads you down an infinite regress that gets you nowhere, because ultimately you have to have at least one final key that isn't encrypted.

There is a deep principle involved here, and that is: to utilize encryption YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SECURE YOUR PRIVATE KEY.

You have to place your key somewhere where no other entity can physically access it, either because it is hidden, or because it is physically impossible to access.

To have and hold #bitcoin or a #nostr account, you have to be a computer or even better a robot/human. You can't simply be software.

So in the article, the AI's don't hold the crypto. Whomever holds the computer that the AI's are running on, holds the crypto.

Cryptographic keys are philosophically very deep. There is a lot there to explore, in terms of identity, and what it means to be human.

Interesting 🤔 nostr:npub12qxvc5evxqt3rky25mfskywugalx5vnhppfl32cu903cnwpyu0uqkmq8u9 nostr:note1pxl2zf8xvyvsk4ac697dp36eypzyj2hq3u7n7v2txh6sp47nk9lsp4fvv8

It depends on time frame. If you pick the last 24 hours, Brazil is top.

been busy rearranging and tidying the setup

the center monitor is a FHD 144hz portable display that i use as my main viewer for web pages and playing games, the other two were previously a pair, set up in landscape side by side, both tilted inwards like now with their edges together

it's almost like i upgraded to 5 displays by rearranging them like this, now i can have two projects open in vertically split panes on each side as you see in the image

the speakers are probably better for acoustics this way too, with the tweeters at the top of each wider than the mid/bass

i've also rearranged and uncluttered the cables quite a lot doing this, the mini pc's tangle is mostly hidden behind the right monitor now, which is visually better

and yes, those monitors are a tiny bit precarious like that, on top of a smooth speaker cabinet... so i've zip-tied a jar full of water to the neck of the stand so they are more stable... i really should find actual metal weights to put there really

anyhow, no idea how i'm gonna like having two monitors like this in portrait, i've often thought of it and had monitors for some years now that can do it but never found it to be comfortable

been hankering to have a better monitor setup for some time now, but honestly i just want a wide 5k display, just one, about 32", OLED, 144hz, but it's the wrong time to be thinking about such things haha

regarding how the displays are configured to be arranged, the two at the top are sat right against each other and the bottom one in the middle between, like before, except with the two big ones rotated... having them actually arranged to reflect the physical layout puts huge invisible walls around the mouse movement, this is much easier, i can jump left to right at the top and down to the bottom smoothly without wondering where the cursor actually is haha

I'm such a sucker for setups. Thanks for sharing!
