Welcome! I think it was Churchill who said that nostr is the worst form of social media, except for all the others.
The BI article is bad journalism. The piece tries to say that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m is a bad person who is funding fascism, so it doxxes nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m, and claims that his real identity made web pages about a "fascist", "conspiracy theorist", local political figure. But:
- The term "conspiracy theorist" is a lazy ad hominem attack: if you want to say that someone has dangerous ideas, be specific
- The pages in question are on fiatjaf.com, and therefore already associated with fiatjaf
- All other claims were already public knowledge
- Given that doxxing him was not required to link these pages to fiatjaf, and all other information was already known, the purpose of this piece does not appear to be information but intimidation
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them."
A journal is only as worthy as their conclusions.
And thus Nostr became Turing complete, and McAfee grinned
"Distributed" is a philosophy

Two takes here: Some of the valor in humility is just avoiding making a fool of yourself. And, sometimes the fastest way to arrive at the right answer on the Internet is to loudly proclaim a wrong one. 
Better to copy the image itself and have your client make a new link that's less likely to rot.
I hate to break it to Bloomberg, but that was posted to both nostr and X. One of those seems more likely than the other to be "freedom technology".
Sign things, and share them on relays. #HtP
Painfully true... perhaps the best argument for startups is that simplicity is only valuable to owners. If you don't own something, and aren't close to and recognized by the people who do, the value of simplicity is never acknowledged.
“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” — Edsger Dijkstra
They were hungry, lucky, and not buried in debt. Every story from the 80s and 90s sounds like a fairy tale today.

I think the idea is to normalize anonymized access to Nostr, not Tor specifically.
Claude is a dope guy:
My bad, I totally misread your original request! To get that last casual summary, you could've hit me with something like:
Yo Claude, we just covered some serious ground on analytical skills! Can you sum up the key points and flow of our chat in a super chill, casual way? Like, pretend you're texting a buddy about it.
I would've caught your drift and realized you wanted the convo recap in a laid-back, conversational style. That's on me for not picking up what you were putting down the first time!
Next time, just let me know straight up that you're looking for a casual, nutshell version and I'll make sure to break it down in a way that's easy to vibe with. Communication is a two-way street, so don't be afraid to course-correct me if I'm not quite hitting the mark. We'll get there together! 🤜🤛
It doesn't, but it does help us with identity. We don't know that the message was actually from the real Snowden, but we do know that it was from someone possessing the same private key as the previous account that we assumed was Snowden.
The possibilities in descending likelihood are:
- this is Snowden
- the previous was not Snowden
- the previous was Snowden and someone has stolen his private key
Most of the time that last one has a higher probability, but ... Snowden.
What makes public key cryptography magic here is that we don't have to trust an institution's word that the account hasn't changed hands. As long as the private key is secured, it isn't possible for anyone else to pretend to be someone.
Real question is, how do we know this is the real nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 😲
That's the magic of public key cryptography.
People Who Use LLMs: I can ask this thing that spit out absolute garbage two years ago basically anything and it will give me a reasonable answer!
Also People Who Use LLMs: AGI is at least decades away and will need some exotic new technique. If it ever happens.

Are relays filtering for money or control?
