I interact with like 10 people on #Nostr and still prefer it to Twitter/X.

🇬🇧 UK’s Online Safety Act is now in effect.

It forces platforms to scan for “illegal” and “harmful” content (even in private messages) and implement strict age checks for adult sites with face scans and ID checks.

Signal and WhatsApp warn it threatens encryption, privacy, and online anonymity.

No, ALL hosts are subject to these regulations, including relays, or any server where you're providing social media, or publicly accessible content that could have adult content.

Nostr isn't magic. It requires other people's computers to provide data availability and scale.

You can't have a usable Nostr client without centralization.

The irony here is Pubky does more for the user than Nostr could in this situation, you're just too busy trying to discredit me to grow as a person and actually learn about about things that might require you being wrong.

Synonym's Pubky homeserver & indexer services will follow the law, but I will do everything in my power to avoid ever performing KYC compliance.

I simply do no want to work for the government, and I do not want responsibility of your personal info.

Things aren't looking good in the EU. We're more likely to block EU IP's next year, than implement proof-of-age regulations. Taking a stand could make their efforts fall apart.

It is my belief that if we create a system that truly gives users real control over what they see, that the argument for aggressive censorship and KYC becomes irrational.

Also, PKDNS, is going to make this all a bit more interesting...

Anyway, what will Nostr apps and relays do about this? (it affects you too)

The lack of advertising on wavlake has completely changed my tolerance for songs getting interrupted.

I honestly can't even listen to YouTube or Spotify anymore it just drives me fucking crazy how saturated the advertising is I can't stand it.

Even with the limited number of artists on wavlake it's the only streaming service I use now.

To be honest the advertisements on YouTube and Spotify ruined the experience of listening to music already, but now I can't tolerate them at all.

I physically need you to understand that the brilliance of Tron was the way they used Daft Punk to speak to modern day rave kids who were just getting their hands into ableton

How they used light and dark and shadows contrasted w neon to set a cyberpunk feel that has been mimicked incessantly since then- even today

How they are going to use Nine Inch Nails to draw in that same daft punk crowd who is drowning in nihilism and absurdism post underground crackdowns

How Ares represents our modern day catastrophic fears

How the motorcycles tell the real story of digital sovereignty

There is a ~$120 Billion bounty if someone can crack Satoshi’s #Bitcoin holdings.

If quantum computing was near-term viable, why wouldn’t someone loan $10 Billion out of thin air to fund a team to target this with such a payout on offer?

The only thing I can think is that this tech is going to be restricted by government for cyber warfare; you could bring down a country in weeks if you could target and break the encryption of all their banks, utilities, infra, ecommerce, healthcare etc.

And ultimately as hard as it is to get Bitcoin to change, updating it for quantum is going to be much easier than getting those aforementioned institutions coordinated to update their encryption.
