#nostr #ditto lacks realtime technical support chat. And #asknostr doesn't really always help.

#XMPP #IRC done better job at this.

Earned 5 of those before! Where did they all go?!

In Mosaic I already have. In nostr, eventually.

Imagine you are a robot and I send you these bits of information:

```

{"accessed": "2020-06-06T10:18:14.384-00:00"}

```

As a robot, you do not know this is a date because no one told you how

"2020-06-06T10:18:14.384-00:00" is any different from "I like sandwiches"

Imagine you are still a robot and I send you this

```

{"client": "35151dcf-78bb-4830-a050-3425a8ee6df1"}

```

Again as a robot, you do not know what this means

Now imagine I send you this

```

{:client #uuid"35151dcf-78bb-4830-a050-3425a8ee6df1"

:accessed #inst"2020-06-06T10:18:14.384-00:00"}

```

The `#uuid` and `#inst` tags & the EDN format, tell you as a robot how to understand these messages, they are UUIDs and dates if we come to an agreement beforehand we can add our own tags for anything like `#toys` these are just some of the inbuilt ones (extensible data notation - EDN)

Now that's cool we can communicate types of things but what about sending SQL queries? Before we execute SQL queries we must know what things are values and what things are names like columns and tables, because we need to escape values to prevent SQL injection, in EDN we can communicate the difference between values and names with keywords:

```

{:select [:person.id :person.name]

:from [[:users :person]]

:where [:= :person.id 12345]}

```

In JSON we need to make up some non-standard solution with strings or worse yet serialize our language across the wire which stops others playing with us nicely because JSON doesn't give us what we need to differentiate between names and values

JSON is too simple and makes people who talk together with it work harder and talk together out of band because somethings cannot be expressed in it, EDN messages lets us understand and be understood better than JSON messages

I was sceptical, but then I've read NIP-106 ...

I hope that is secure scuttlebutt!!

pubky is a thing where you can whip up a keypair and then go to https:// and in the background what happens is:

Your special DNS server looks up that public key in the DHT to find out where their homeserver is right now (it can move), and then goes to that website.

pubkey is just short for a public key.

You cannot use pubky or nostr if you don't have access to the Internet.

You cannot use pubky or nostr if you've just been hit by a 2000 lb bomb.

BOTH systems require you to connect to SOMETHING to get started.

Everything is censorable.

Anyone have any recommendations for Linux/BSD/ FOSS/Programming type people I should follow? I need to follow more people.

proof of work is not a solution to social trust. the web of trust works great, with a few tweaks

I’m fed up with the hypocrisy surrounding the Web of Trust in Nostr. It’s clear that this model is just a way for a select few to maintain control and push their agendas. Instead of fostering a truly decentralized environment, it creates a system where only the voices of influencers and their friends matter.

This isn’t about building a fair community, it’s about leveraging connections and manipulating trust. The conflicts of interest are glaring, and it’s disheartening to see how easily some people are swayed by popularity rather than substance.

Im here to call out this nonsense. A Proof of Work approach would dismantle this elitist structure and ensure that everyone has a fair shot, and spam doesnt go up.

Than with just a setting in the client choosing what difficulty of POW the user wants to see notes.

Nostrudel already implements a version of this, and all clients should do the same!

Fuck the influencers and they shaddy agendas, we can see clearly what you are doing!

It’s time to reject systems that prioritize influence over merit. Let’s demand a network that values genuine contributions and holds everyone accountable.

Enough with the favoritism and elitism, let’s build something that truly represents freedom and equality for all, not only for some!

Web of trust = Ethereum

Proof of Work = Bitcoin

All mainline mobile OSes are utter shit. Give me root or give me death.

I’m falling in love with #IPFS. It’s so cool!

Been testing it to host my images that I’m sharing on #Nostr. I do wonder how fast they a loading for other people 😬

I have a #Linux question. I'm trying to convert my old AlienWare from windows to Linux. Can anyone help?

Are people ready to admit that my npub is shadowbanned? #asknostr

I remember everyone being too dumb to admit it when my first npub was shadowbanned, but this time I've stayed for over a year and kept giving you more proof. Did yous wake up yet?
