Damus has no ability to censor you as it does not control the relays and has no tracking. I have no idea who is using my app. The TOS is an apple requirement.

I think these Golang websocket libraries are all broken.

Alternatively, the websocket protocol is another victim of Google stepping in and "embracing" it but adding pseudo-optional features to it such as compression and weird parameters that not all libraries support in the same way but some will assume others do support.

I agree TLV seems fine if you’re just encoding a stable schema. worst case is you’re incrementing types and clients have to add another case to their switch statement… which we already do with ‘kind’ today.

one of the slowest parts of receiving lots of events on mobile is actually json decoding. I wonder if it’s time to create an optimized binary transport for nostr notes. Could be a simple TLV format.

The thing is, I think the world would be a much better place if the European Union was strategically independent, and fully capable of defending itself and setting its own foreign policy, independent of the United States. I think having a strategic competitor to the United States that shares liberal democratic values would be far superior to the current arrangement. I would literally sleep better at night.

Here’s the problem: despite Macron’s dream of pursuing this strategic autonomy, they’re not doing any of the things that’s would be necessary to make this a reality. To the contrary, Macron literally just went to China and called for deeper integration between the EU and China. France and Germany are in the advanced stages of exporting the manufacturing of their electric vehicle manufacturing to China! This is insane.

Macron is actually right to be pissed off at the US for its protectionist economic policy, stemming from the new industrial policies coming out of the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The economic populism in these bills, should have been primarily aimed at China, and should have excluded critical allies like the EU — Only Mexico and Canada were spared due to their free trade agreement with the US. This was bad fucking policy by Congress. It punched the Europeans in the eye, economically for no good reason. But Americans are feeling very economically isolationist these day. So there’s a lot of idiocy going around on both sides of the Atlantic.

But this highlights another absurdity about the EU’s engagement with the US right now. Instead of running to China asking for deeper integration, because the US just snubbed them, they should be trying to sell the American public on how it would benefit *them* to cooperate with the EU on energy and supply chains. Not trying to convince Xi Jinping.

Sure, the US have become fickle assholes on trade policy. But it’s certainly worth the damned investment to push back on this. What the hell are we doing, here? This is serious shit.

I still have optimism that there will be a reversal of course here. But it’s going to come when enough of the North American and European public becomes sufficiently terrified through some external crisis. The real question is, how much damage will have been done when that happens?

4/8

The United States government steals something between 9 and 15 minutes of your time per working hour, from you. That's at least approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes per work day.

Six hours of your 40 hour work week, goes into a corporation that fucking hates you, fucking loves jews, and wants to fuck and kill your children.

Just something to think about.

>I blame the jews
