Autopoietic. Scratching things from chaos. Homesteading the noösphere. Opportunity farmer: Reading things that are not yet on the page. Haskell. Dollars only, thanks.

Screw him.

"Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, says that in 1982 he overheard Bill Gates, the other co-founder, discuss with Steve Ballmer, now the company’s chief executive, how they could reduce Allen’s share in the company by issuing themselves stock options. [...] Allen’s illness was Hodgkin’s disease, a form of cancer, with which he had been diagnosed earlier that year, and which has always been understood to be the reason he left Microsoft."

You haven't lived unless your nostr key has been implanted in your skin:

The Big 4 Evil Messengers have phone number verification for that reason. You'd have to manually verify Alice by contacting her via said Evil Messenger or SMS and verify that this is indeed who you think it is.

Note that this doesn't protect against impersonation. I can just compute the argon2 of "Alice" + "555-4939" and publish it in my profile.

And then you'll contact me and I'll pretend I'm your friend Alice and hilarity ensues or something more sinister.

WOW I AM FEELING VERY MELANCHOLY AFTER HEARING nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ON CITADEL TALK ABOUT BIG RELAYS LIKE PRIMAL BEING ABLE TO REMAIN FREE BY FUNDING THEMSELVES WITH COCA-COLA AND BIG BUSINESS ANALYTICS AND CAMPAIGNS. MAYBE I AM JUST REGARDED THINKING THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY? WILL BIG FREE RELAYS WHERE YOU ARE THE PRODUCT BE THE ONLY NOSTR RELAYS SOMEDAY? ONLY TIME AND YOUR CHOICES WILL TELL.

Building a good decentralized, distributed system takes some serious engineering skill.

For the rest of you there's this:
