I have no problem with doing it, and i do but only for short videos. The other side of it is that watching videos on these nostr clients sucks so thats my reason to share a youtube link🤷‍♂️

Dogs, perhaps, but definitly no girls on the internet, i know that much

Sir, there is an entire www worth of 'apps' to copy, and who knows that new stuff the Nostr paradigm enables. My sense is the holdup is in devs getting the paradigm more than anything else.

It takes time, examples, metaphores, and probably a 1000 repeated explenations for it to become a general intuition most people will just have instead of some novel thing they have to aquire.

What? were you planning on rendering chess matches, weather rapports, agendas, video libraries, music playlists, maps and navigation, tournament brackets, recipes, blueprints, books, climbing routes etc.etc.etc. as well in your superapp?

Give it time, it will click for more devs, and with a growing userbase attempts at things are more likely to get traction as well such that they get sustained developer love over time.

In today’s episode of ‘why you fucks need to timestamp all the things’:

You will die.

And when you are dead, your loved ones will enter your room, clean out your drawers and find that shriveled piece of paper that has your private key on it. Point is: The fate of every private key is to be compromised eventually (yeah yeah all the secret agent nerds with dead man’s switch self-destruct sequence shit can stfu).

It is trivial to lie about the timestamp of an event itself, and as a result the moment a key gets compromised, all sorts of alternative fake histories can be created in an instant. The problem with this attack is that the authentic history has all sorts of interactions with other authentic histories, creating some resilience; but this requires analyses in depth. Additionally this ‘entanglement’ gets less and less relevant over time and with increased distance in social graph because both reduce the ability to asses authenticity in the first place (i.e. you were not there at the time so how would you know).

But is there a way in which clients/software, which is by definition retarded, can latch onto something simple in order to make sense of the world? Yes, there is, (Bitcoin) open-timestamps.

Consistent open-timestamping by itself will protect your history, because an attacker is incapable to producing valid open-timestamps that refer to the past. But it can also protect your ghostly future.

If an Npub posts an event that contains the associated Nsec, it is explicit that the key is compromised and can no longer be trusted. Hopefully your loved ones are nice enough to do this. It implies a moment in time, a ‘before’ and an ‘after’. So if you were to timestamp this ‘publication of compromise’, an attacker can’t effectively attack your future because the moment in time from which the npub should be ignored is clear.

Now non of this is perfect, and because it is impossible to be perfect that is not the point. The point is mitigation in order to be more effective on the battlegrounds of ‘Truth’. Aside from that it is impossible, it is also not necessary to have perfect systems: In a sea of Truth, the Lie sticks out as a sore thumb due to inconsistency; in a sea of Lies, the Truth drowns due to a lack of consistency. What we need is sufficient Truth (and all its ‘entanglements’) in order to weed out the lies, and that is why all you mortal cunts need to timestamp all the things.

Also, never be rude against a kabouter, because he will make you small and you will end up traveling on the back of a goose named Martin.

De kaboutertjes natuurlijk

I wont load the sound nicely, so i give up

I dont follow/understand what any of that means to be honest :/

(And i dont mean i dont know/understand FROST, i do; its just what you are saying does not make sense to me)

Poor CSW, first you guys refused to give him the BTC he totally legally speaking owns TM, and now you wont give him this? Pffffft. Can we atleast agree he is a master swordsman and Lord of small world graph turing completeness?

It will be recorded, but i expect it to be a total mess and figure we will improve things over time in terms of transscripts, timestamps, shorts etc.

But for now i will lie and say it wont be recorded in order to ramp up the FOMO

Implying CSW is not a spook

Why would using FROST imply managing keys for each device/app?

You guys use bikes in the jungle? Do you wear helmet? I bet you pussies wear helmets

When it is late at night and you get hungry...

I did not do this, the kaboutertjes did

Objection

The Congress (2013) is a very interesting movie that is way too slow in the beginning. It explores how digitization opens up possibilities in individual perception. You can choose your own avatar basically, but people are also free to interpret/see you as they wish.

In any event, go see the movie; but I wanted to talk about Kabouters. Being expressed in various types of folklore, the Kabouter is a tiny fellow that effectively hides from human perception.

Thinking of the dead Internet Theory, and the increased risk of getting tricked into wondering through the figments of an AI's imagination; perhaps we could create this botnet of kabouters, that live their kabouter lives and form their kabouter community on Nostr, ignoring any outside interaction. A friendly mundane expressly fake community, that we can observe as a ‘living’ monument reminding us of the real fake dangers out there.

In my eternal search for the kabouter, i then realized we don’t need bots. What if there is a client that ignores everyone avatar, and replaces it with a Kabouter? And an A.I. assesses the activity of the profile, in order to apply to the image generated. Is it a happy kabouter or an angry kabouter? What is the interest or occupation of the kabouter?

The result of such a client is, that i can’t be sure if you see me as i present myself, or that you have chosen to turn me into a kabouter, and color me based on how you (or well, your A.I.) perceives me.

The theme of fluidity of identity in a digital age is not new, it is just getting worse and more confusing. The Congress starts right at the cutting edge of that time, and subsequently paints its extrapolated future. Now almost a decade later we can already see some of the contours of that future. It chose an interesting style to express the confusion; don’t watch a trailer and enjoy (given you can make it through that excruciatingly boring start).

Alchemists can't make more Bitcoin.

Talking about caps; could you please stop boosting odel, i hate the all caps stuff in my feed. Thank you

All i see is a screenshot, and therefor it must be a lie

You'd be suprized how many things dont just shuffle words through logic units like a little bitch. But you do you, and stay a soft(ware)boy

You are still a von neumann cuck though.
