if technology is going to semi-break privacy anyway, maybe better that it’d be on our own terms - I hope this is what nostr can do
if we don’t do something about this, constantly harvesting more and more behavioral surplus, to keep the great data mill going, will just be what the internet is, because that’s how the next generations will grow up with it. because the model is already a massive part of the digital economy later it will be the predominant model and later will be too late
If one’s response is, “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”. okay sounds great but upon uttering that I hope you’ll allow your bathroom door to be removed and to have live streaming thermal cameras installed in which room of the house you undertake the majority of your sexy times because nothing to hide nothing to fear right? privacy isn’t about having somewhere to do drug deals, it’s a basic tenet of modern human living. it is the right to be let alone
behavioral surplus is the harvesting and commodification of our digital likeness our data, our secrets for profit
surveillance is now being framed as just how things are on the internet, just another mosquito on the digital beach. it’s fine all of the time. but it’s already turning into an informational hostage situation. digital thermostats that will stop updating their software if you refuse to give the parent company your usage data. apps that conveniently forget to mention, by using them in the first place, you’ve tacitly agreed to pass on your blood sugar level or details of a menstrual cycle. How the fuck did we get here?
if the product is free, then you’re the product. but here it’s more like you’re the raw material and there’s no such thing as too much data to those who want it.
surveillance capitalism =
turning the internet into a data mill for no fun and lots of profit. which has the potential not just to corrupt the future of the internet but remove any possibility of privacy ever again
privacy is the right to be let alone

okay seems like after connecting to mutiny’s nwc you need to restart damus, it connects to the wallet relay and it seems that doesn’t work until a restart, this is more obvious in the upcoming release. unsure why it doesn’t connect right away - looking into that.
forgot to post my breakfast. the chode looking one is an ube filled cruffin. 
this might be a bigger deal than it seems. most relays use strfry nostr:note140agx4ers9cn6mqtp77p8cwrnndmuvyf887enja630mduql7073qw8szsw
