yeah, also you could have a setting "don't show quote replies from follows if you mute the quoted npub"

this would end thread notification trolling

you are the competition and they are jealous bitches. they want to be the X of nostr, all roads lead up their asses

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqyt8wumn8ghj7un9v9k8jtndd3jkkafwv3jhvtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qpqad50nyrzl6pe2frld69rwjrcfk6q7qvund3m5yynmakzhwdh2a7sy6cm0w

so it would be like this all the way down (and you could go back up, but not sideways

i like it because it ends the whole tree below triggering notifications pointlessly

compromising one's vision is never the right way.

please do this thing, i would like to see how it works

it would mean that seeing other than the single path up would be hard to do as well. you'd click on what you reply to, if it's a reply, you click on that, etc etc ad lib to fade

this is like email replies except more compact because the reader can fetch the reference

+1 ACK on this concept. approved.

ah, so instead of creating these tags the reply button is the quote button

makes sense. would also be kinda cool in that the relay hints are in there as well

it would be easy enough to make it require a double press, and print a message saying so

but it conflicts also with the Apple zxcv buttons, which make text editing one-handed on a qwerty keyboard. standard X window keys require you to also press shift to get this action. could have been alt also. apple also muddled up that stuff as well

the mention of the next user up should be default off but a button "notify of reply"

op and direct reply are fine, IMO, and mentioning the npub of the direct reply but mentioning the whole path to the op is retarded

normal threaded discussions only link the post into the thread and trigger a notification for the user who was replied to. not the whole damn path up the tree

the structure is a doubly linked list/tree, that's reasonable

that thing should be default off, except for the direct post above.

lol

nothing wrong with direct reply and OP references, otherwise it's floating in space with no context

email you quote, do you want to replicate that pattern?

i'm gonna start using that, damn

who knows... shapiro, rogan, obviously would have to be a republicrat

a subscription that looks for e tags to the OPs would work the same way also, without being a hellthread.

idk which empty skull came up with the idea and then how the fuck it became convention but it needs to stop

sunk costs fallacy

the whole thing of mentioning every npub in the path back up to the OP is kinda crazy

i can just tell the agent to email me anyhow.

so, yeah, that would be it for me having a smartphone

if xapo bank app runs on an android emulator i would switch to my thumb sized dumb phone

in fact, i'm gonna try it a bit later, maybe today or tomorrow.

i need whatscrap as well for my real estate agent

nostr rockstar relay devs have only got two memory slots in their stack. the problem requires three degrees of causal sequence to understand.

brainwashing, i tell ya. the third stack field and the higher stack fields are filled with dopamine

because the whole point of post-office protocols is asynchronous delivery

you can only obfuscate the message, you can't hide the existence of a message. being that almost all nostr events are plaintext content they stand out like a sore thumb even without kind giving it away.

the reason why nostr uses a POP is because it's impossible to arrange that everyone be online at the same time to relay the messages, so you need to have specialist nodes in the network for this. and you have to ultimately trust them, which means that the relays MUST protect privileged messages like DMs from being fetched by randos. which means you MUST have auth.

imagine email without auth. ridiculous. yet so many supposed smart guys in nostr dev don't get it.

you have just piqued my curiosity to see what this looks like

i think so long as the lungs are inflated the rest of the body can withstand a much lower atmospheric pressure (higher, also, which is why that liquid oxygen dissolving material like was depicted in The Abyss exists, as it stops the pressure of deep under sea). the lungs are the main thing that restricts our range at altitude and depth.

i doubt it would be pleasant to be more than a few hours with most of your body at that level of pressure though, in either direction.

i mean, i could be wrong and it's just flexible but not very stretchy but looking at the picture it seems to me to accommodate this level of skin tightness with the vacuum sucking everything outward, no, it's not just stiff, because it wouldn't be comfortable.

maybe you could do a passively vacuum resistant material *precisely fitted* to someone's body, like total tailored job, with flexible areas that are designed so as to not become a point of expansion, but nah, really, i think it's obvious these are artificial muscle fibres and that means electricity and EMF vulnerability.

Hanlon's Razor:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

i was just thinking about this today, or maybe it was yesterday, that this is a fallacy.

stupidity is a form of evil. unconscious evil. usually caused by brainwashing.

the definition of stupid needs to be noted:

adjective

stupider, stupidest

lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; slow-witted.

- characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless.

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but why is the answer four instead of five?

- tediously boring, especially due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless.

He wished he'd never come to such a stupid party.

- annoying or irritating; troublesome.

Turn off that stupid radio.

- in a state of stupor; stupefied.

After a twelve-hour work day, she was stupid from fatigue.

the clear theme of all of these definitions relates to the root of the word, which means in a diminished state of consciousness, but not asleep or otherwise unconscious.

when the cause of stupor is a drug, it is called "intoxication"

toxic means poisonous, so a person who is intoxicated, and in a stupor, has been poisoned.

stupidity IS evil, which has been caused by someone other than the person acting stupid, in most cases. but not always. my point here is that stupidity is a diminished state of consciousness, and anyone who is doing stupid things is low key being evil. they aren't conscious of it, but they ARE being evil. they are doing things that are causing harm. this is what a malicious action is - causing harm.

the word malice, itself, does not strictly specify intent. thus, this razor is bullshit. the actions that get described as stupidity cause harm, and malicious actions cause harm.

if you ask me, it's cut and dried. whether the evil is from intoxication, from misunderstanding (which may be caused by brain damage or brainwashing), or ignorance (which really means denying something in front of your face, which is also malicious) it's still evil.

Malice is a correct base concept in all cases that the word stupidity relates to.

the thing that Hanlon was most likely referring to was either retardation or brainwashing. you can forgive the former, but it is relatively rare, maybe 1-2% of the population is certifiably retarded. the latter, has a hidden hand behind it, where the malice is hiding.

yes, the relay would refuse to send it to anyone not authed to the relevant npubs in the event. kind 1's specifically, so they also show up on your feed, but also have some tag that lets you filter it out or in.

the purpose of it i envision mainly for relay operators to reliably message subscribers, no matter what client they are using

someone injected some malware into the AUR recently also.

just gotta be careful where it matters to you. idk about you but every time i sign up for some new website i brace myself for endless newsletter spam and the potential for yet another honeypot for hackers to sell on the dark web. it's a jungle out there. stay strapped or get clapped.

i'm working on a work-around, also, for the lack of DMs that affects paid relay operators who have an incentive to keep their customers, unlike the free relays who are receiving money from sponsors to keep up the freedumb services so that they can be spammed to hell.

anyone who has read half of the base NIP specs would have run across the concept of not sending messages to people who haven't authed to the key of one of the pubkeys named in an event. really simple. somehow when i showed up 18 months ago nobody had picked up on this and actually implemented it.

and the reason is, they are all hypnotised by the influencoors and their aNoNyMoUs powered brainwashing to not even consider the idea that nostr relay operators are not all going to be the kind of privacy violators that characterize the majority of internet service providers (if they aren't already known recipients of funding from spook agencies).

some of us have been using the internet for social networking since long before facebook. people who offer such services or are running them for a community tend to be quite diligent about spam control and privacy protection.

the complacency of most nostr rockstars about privacy is so freakin annoying. and then after you hear them talk about not wanting to be doxxed by authing in the next sentence they are complaining about adoption.

oh, no connection between these things, i'm sure.

weak consistency is not a bug, it's a feature :)

yeah, i'm implementing a complete NWC client library and simple CLI too to make sure it's all working rn. then i'm making a subscription manager, all the configs, the special events it will use to store the configs, and the "only visible to you" privilege check so it can message you without the user needing a client that groks DMs - not that any of them do anyway.

i'm using codestral running on my GPU right now to write a simple little CLI tool... it only made one method available. haha. ok, but it was reasonable text it wrote. should be gud for the docs and commit comments.

gonna use junie for this. junie is the real code agent.

because gitcitadel is a software project not a propaganda bureau

my god, they are going full fourth reich with this one

i'm surprised how fast it's saying the events were published tho. if you use the import tool on a trove of events of around 117k, it takes about 15 seconds to swallow the whole lot, which means it's more like 8000 events/s

but maybe you have faster, next generation hardware, my pc has like 3 years ago tech in it. i've used a hetzner server that was about 3-4x faster at everything in my recent previous project with a large database iteration (comparing a set of 1000 records to each other, N(N-1) operations, something like, what was it, 400,000 operations in total. this included standard library JSON decoding. i was going to optimize that stuff with a decoder cache but it was working well enough for processing one row at a time.

very nice. merged. i figure this tool can be pointed at other relays for comparison also.

what's coming is worse than an EMP. you may have read about what happened in the Carrington Event? telegraph wires were on fire.

well, now our houses are full of wire, all electrical devices are full of wire. even large metallic items will catch fire.

electrical technology is screwed, basically.

i have three, and two of them are rooted

that low friction is why nostr will win

i personally have always preferred sour to sweet

mainly because it's not able to be written to as an outbox due to routing. i think you have a service that provides this capability though?

i've just been thinking more about how to fit together the hindu and other religions concept of reincarnation, with the "eternal life" stuff in the bible

it's quite simple actually, and not any kind of necromantic craziness

if you know about the theory of how reincarnation works, then you would know that one of the elements of the process is that the rebirth process involves erasing the memory of past lives.

then you can say, that maybe what the biblical texts were talking about is a knowledge and technique whereby newly born individuals, who had a past history of previous lives, have that cloud of forgetting removed, and are born with the full memory of all of their past lives.

this would totally qualify as an "eternal life" because if all who are born, have this done, then even though they live the mortal life, they know all of their "eternal life" history, and it works out much the same. except for that process of the development of the body, the first 35 or so years of life the memory would be there but the capacities would not be fully developed yet.

the other thing is that according to those old texts, and other stories from ancient history, the capacity for lifespan of humans is actually around 800 years.

so, combined with full past life recall, and extended lifespan, you would have something as near enough to the actual realisation of this concept of "eternal life" while reconciling the apparent differences between reincarnationist model versus the eternal life model.

i know it would be quite shocking to have a baby and within a year it's telling you stories in fully adult language of their history, maybe even able to speak multiple languages, but i think this is what it actually means.

it happens occasionally, by accident, there is many accounts of this in recent historical lore about reincarnation. the buddhists select their Dalai Lama based on physical markings that transit between lives, it's a mark on the foot, if i remember correctly. some cases exist also of small children telling stories of their past lives that were verifiable, as well.

this synthesis resolves the apparent differences between the two, and hints at what is to come, when our branch of the human tree wakes up and starts to bloom as well.

my relay was not competent enough until a couple of weeks ago anyway. that happened because my fiat mine was nagging me to get into using AI coding agents, and then i practiced on #orly and quickly fixed all the problems.

so, it did have to wait for this. before this the codebase was a mess of bugs.

yup, i just have one more... feature... and then i swear i put it on the down low

well, if i manage to build a basis for a profitable business out of my code then i get the best of both worlds. and other people who join in the work will have the same opportunity.

the local parish doesn't have much use for the programming skills and it makes no sense to pivot so far away from where your greatest efficiencies are.

the two requests you made last night were really simple to implement for me tho, more efficient to have me do it because i'm expert in the codebase.

but i will be super stoked to have someone else taking care of some of the work.🧡
