Hi, new here to Nostr. My lovely husband said I need to be on here since I don’t like typical social media. Im most interested in gardening, homesteading tips/tricks, raising animals, gaming, travel, and aerospace. 🛫

#introductions #nostr

I watched yesterday Adam Curtis' documentary All Watched Over by Machines of Love and Grace.

It talks about how in the 1960s people tried to create communes of leaderless, decentralized, communes and how these all miserably failed.

One of the reason it fails is because strong personalities actively bullied others and there was built in rules that prevented political type factions from organizing and pushing back.

Nostr sometimes feels like these failed communes of digital utopia. It's not quite the same, but there is lots in common.

But then there certain individuals that make it very interesting.

I think we have this saying wrong though. "Protocol > platform."

I think it's "people > protocol."

gm nostr. Last night was fun.

I know that prions are fairly common in nature, cannot be destroyed by cooking, can hop from species to species, can be picked up from shed protein long after being shed and kill you after making you grump and then insane. It's like an evil, alien bio-weapon that serves no function. It's the biological equivalent of Bostrom's apocolyptic paperclip universe problem only it just focuses on protein and making more of its self from proteins it encounters

Understand.

The main reasons I'm not using:

(1) Not working well and across devices (maybe early)

(2) No marketshare (as in, no one I know uses it)

- worse, I tried to convert my network, it didn't work so my friends really don't want to try again!

(3) Desire to make Nostr STRONGER

So that's before I would even get to analyzing security issues.

Remember, the biggest vulnerabilities are NOT technical, they are social and legal. If there is an NGO/foundation, then you really know the head can be taken off.

with whom?

Are you using it daily?

I would like to know more too! I’ve got it installed but never used it much.

No, because it's a honeypot and now riddled with censorship

Thank you for letting me know, I’m just trying to figure it out and I wasn’t sure if i was doing anything wrong (extension or something) 🙌

Finally got the two missing pieces for this T-beam to come together: a proper case and rechargeable batteries (kind of important).

Blew my mind when I turned it on and opened the app to find more than 20 active nodes within range. This is cool af 😎

One question - is there a way to be online & engage with other nodes without revealing my location? (It’s fine if not, but it will determine how I use the thing). #asknostr
