I find English extremely imprecise at expressing many things, as a programmer.

I agree in principle that a language should be no more complicated than necessary, but there is a big difference between the need for expressiveness in human language versus machine translateable language. The needs are entirely orthogonal.

That word orthogonal, that's not english, it's greek. Can you express the notion concisely without using it? Best I can think of is "In a close but unrelated category".

Humans are capable of parsing far more complex syntax and grammar than english requires, and the language suffers, IMO, through the lack of especially complex relations of time and position.

Northern european languages, namely german and russian, and all close derived languages, have complex but concise expressions to modify phrases to indicate temporal and spatial relations. Bulgarian is an unusual language in that it uses much of the simple prepositions as you see in english but their verb modifiers and tenses are far richer.

English speech, this is another example. It has some of the most inconsistent, irregular rules that exist in any language, rules from french, german, latin, spanish, welsh, scottish, irish, and really awkward phonetics, in many cases greatly disrupting the flow of speech. By contrast, most other european languages have phonetics modifiers such as the dutch closed/open syllables, the bulgarian/german/russian voice/unvoice for sequential consonants, the bulgarian is notably extreme in this way, making rapid speech very easy, to the point where you will encounter in bulgaria people speaking to each other in parallel and their attention competently split between the two parallel conversations without skipping a beat.

I have wanted to become fully fluent in another language, just that so far I have ended up needing to move, and move again for various reasons, and I have smatterings of dutch, bulgarian, serbo/croatian, and now I am learning Portuguese and I swear to God this is going to be the one I master. I like portuguese, it has a lot of old latin sound that is in common especially with Serbian, and while some say it has complex phonetics, I don't think it's really that complex. I'm digging my heels in, I don't want to be shuffled again elsewhere, here I stand...

It's all a part of the global domination agenda. Here's Orwell's description of it:

> By 2050—earlier, probably—all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron—they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of The Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like Freedom is Slavery when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.[1]

The presumptive owners of the enslaved human race think they can use AI to degrade language. It certainly can be used to degrade language, rather than simply function as a useful search tool.

Anyone who says that reducing the amount of text used to express ideas is a good thing, is a puppet for the Newspeak agenda, and the interesting thing is that, if you look at the Wikipedia page about Newspeak, Orwell was of the opinion that ENGLISH is itself a language that is prone towards this ever shrinking mental space.

I'm very inclined to agree.

All the english before the 20th century was like a more fluid form of German. They eliminated cases, they eliminated many words, and the americans made many acronyms and combined words, not so unlike the newspeak Ingsoc, this trend is very prevalent in internet words.

As a computer programmer, I can tell you that the more inflexible the human language, the harder it is to find accurate names for the concepts encapsulated in an algorithm. I personally find myself wanting to make use of words from Bulgarian, Serbian, German and Dutch because of the paucity of meaning in English. And actually, Bulgarian has been dumbed down a lot too, but its grammar is probably the closest to english in terms of the lack of cases and the number of common prepositions.

Something people don't realise, because they have become used to it, is that since the inception of Public Relations (invented by Freud's nephew, Bernays) the majority of marketing nowadays would have been considered to be fraud by old standards of law.

It's fraud. Marketing is deception and manipulation.

The way they market mobile phones, nicotine vapes, it's all deception, aimed at the vulnerable and innocent to turn them into tools for the purposes of Behemoth and Leviathan.

Under a system of natural law, such marketing would lead to prosecution.

The harm couldn't be more clear.

Unclear. The carrot, normal carrot, and tooth cracked, or carrot had hard object inside, cracked on hard object?

I massively busted a tooth with the combination of hard toast and a tongue ring years ago. More recently, I have been finding more and more in prepackaged mince meat shards of bone, and consequently I am training myself to react to resistance in my mouth with gentleness.

I already have too many chips and damage and I'm an "old person" now.

If you ate cake regularly by my age you'd probably have no teeth.

I ate a steak made from beef neck last night. It was impossible to swallow without chewing it about a minute from each bite. Now THAT is good for your teeth.

"mass adoption onboarding" is high time preference also. Filtering content towards that end is manipulation. It's a slippery slope that turns asymptotic before you realise it.

Wanting to have people adopt bitcoin, or nostr, or lightning, faster, is high time preference.

Wanting to filter the content and make people not say some things or say other things more is manipulation.

Of course we are not gonna change the fact that some people don't get what time preference is nor what manipulation is, they are stuck inside a mental bubble, that's the whole point.

But if you have a mind to pay attention, realise that both of these popular attitudes are small and petty.

Since the users are the source of the content, any attempt to shape that is manipulation.

Do we really want the rest of the social network realm, with their premade programmed mindsets and stupid memes to flood this place?

They will come soon enough.

The people who barely appear in the film are really the reason why it all went that way. The banksters. The brothers could have patented but that wasn't their style, and wouldn't have changed anything because their integrity would have again been compromised by these money elite types.

The end result was the worst fiat food there is, and the annihilation of thousands of little burger joints that made food not so far from the brother's standard of quality.

It doesn't even have mute... I'm not having my browser spend cpu cycles rendering spam.

Nostrudel has no mute button. Logged out. Coracle is still the best. But I do have nos2x now.

If it has a whitelist option to show only my follows and doesn't automatically any other posts without me unhiding them it will be very refreshing.

I'm getting a little irritated with watching my feed start to fill up with monerobots and drivechainbots.

I recommend plebstr.

Monerobots are so boring.

DCbots also very boring.

I can mute you morons as fast as you can spam.

If it gets too noisy I'm looking for a whitelist only client.

Cocaine makes everyone into an asshole, IME. Similar to alcohol.

My brave browser has been getting into this ridiculous lag mode lately. So I thought, OK, maybe disable/enable hardware acceleration.

Turned out disabling it fixed the problem. WTF?

And also, Firefox showing coracle as though it was logged in read only from my key from the follows it showed but showing the login button, and not current follows, maybe two weeks ago follows.

Web browsers are almost as creepy as mobile phones.

Any way to decrease the resilience of Bitcoin is advantage to Fiat.

Freedom of expression includes saying that DCs are a scam, bro.

The problem is how you are thinking about the problem. Proof of storage is impossible, only proof of delivery is possible. Delivery can be monetised, and so can submission, via the same mechanism. In addition, because it is designed to be programmable, and the relays are dumb and just process commands so long as there is balance on the relay sessions, it can be used for anonymisation of traffic, both client and bidirectional, to charge for access to content (paywalling), and is designed so that any way you can think of prepaid sessions for forwarding traffic around can be easily implemented without any change to the relay software, just by creating a new client.

It is inspired by the genius of nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgunpw35jucm0d5q3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyv0c7x9 's nostr protocol, to be as simple and open ended as possible.

Your project is a good solution for authenticating complex data types, probably better than IPFS in some ways - IPNS is so poorly supported and clunky to work with, but that's all it does, and that means that if it turns out later it restricts usage in some critical way your protocol will not survive.

Also, I didn't notice who started this thread, and now I get why your posts sound like marketing. I'm gonna butt right out of this for now, because I don't believe in him being what he claims to be any more than Alex Jones not having strings attached.

When people can actually save money and own their own property they don't need this help. It's just bandaids all the way down until you realise that the government does nothing but cause problems, and cause more problems with their "solutions".

For general hardware support, and pretty decent support of games, Pop OS is the one to get. They did a lot of work to get the complicated hybrid GPU situation with gaming laptops working, and in parallel got a lot of devices power management to actually work properly after decades of no working suspend. It's built off Ubuntu.

If you want to learn linux, best you stick with Ubuntu or derivatives like Pop OS. The bulk of the documentation and help on stackexchange and others is about Ubuntu.
