Twitter under Elobs's guidance is rebranding as X, the everything app. Elon intends verifying the identity of each user by making them send in copies of their ID. This may feel 'normal' in today's world but it leads to censorship, control and i think unintended consequences. A company in the states and other small groups with money and power can now control who sees what and who is banned. This can lead to negative outcomes and second order effects that you cannot protect. It leads to more targeted surveillance and less freedom. The internet itself is built upon TCP/IP, a language that is robust, proven and free for anyone to use. It makes the internet a free and powerful place where anyone can learn and develop. However, third parties like Paypal, Facebook, Apple, internet service providers, Telecoms companies now own and run their walled gardens, complete with user ccounts, built on top of TCP/IP. Hats off to them, they run such succesful businesses. But you know have much of the internet controlled by a small number of companies. So, to solve this you can build decentralised platforms, protocols (languages) that have permission less platforms. This I think is healthy. Nature is diverse, or perhaps you could say the more diverse a biological system is the more healthy it is.

So, their is a new kid on the block called NOSTR.

https://nostr.com/

It allows anyone to create an identity. It is decentralised. Anyone can build on it and use it.

Resilient, censorship resistant and available to all.

So have a look and learn about tools that allow you to chose, to be free, to decide what you do with your online life. Not Elon, not Apple, not any centralised body.

Elon has done lots of good things, but I think he does not respect or value user privacy. Or perhaps he doesn't see the negative consequences of mass online surveilance. His products like X can offer reach, some verifiability, the efficiencies gained with central control and a platform with a huge network effect. So it is a trade off. But I will no longer use Twitter.

Consider this, AI that is publically available can easily fake your voice and face data, it can solve those annoying captchas, it can even make fairly convincing deep fake movies. AI with hackers and the many data breaches make easy work of finding your personal details online. So fake accounts can be made easily that mimic you. Not the intended outcome, but this happens. So Elon may have good intentions, maybe he has gone mad, maybe power always corrupts. Who knows.

With Nostr, your identity is a number, actually a cryptographic key that you prove mathematically. You can be you, or any nym you want. But you cannot be copied or deleted or censored. This is old tech, been around since 1993. But applied now in a clever way to make a social media platform that is open and has no algorithmic bias.

Watch the short videos on the website, shorter and more entertainung than my 'article!'

Well said brother. Elon suffers from Pharoah syndrome as any human would under such fame.

We cannot trust any one human. P2p is our only path. TCP/IP and HTTP were both just protocols before mozilla came along.

⚡️ and nostr will power the peoples choice. #civkit will complete Satoshi’s work

Ray Youssef 2y ago

Lots of rowing motions. I don’t go heavy. No ego just focus on the squeeze and slow decline. It works. U need your mind strong to grow.

TNG and Voyager were my favorite shows growing up. Thanks for sharing the memory. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ray Youssef 2y ago

TNG really made you think. Ethics, philosophy, comradery, great lessons in an awesome positive vision of the future. We don’t have anything like this now. Tng fans are always deeper more positive ppl.

It was the best imo. Better than the first series and Deep Space Nine was too much like a soap opera to me. Voyager was only good cuz 7 of 9 was hot. And Enterprise had a cute dog but that’s about it.

Ray Youssef 2y ago

Yes!! Tng was the best

Ray Youssef 2y ago

Star Trek TNG was a fav of mine growin up. I remember how I would beg my parents to take a 1 hr break from the newsstand to run home and watch it at 6pm

Any other nerds here the same ?

As the world gets more crazy I really struggle to believe any news headlines nowadays.

I don’t believe the US military has encountered aliens or UFOs

I don’t believe in the new Global Boiling narrative

I don’t believe in this super conductors news that allows for quantum computing that can kill blockchains

I don’t believe what we are being told about the Ukraine war is true

To me it’s all fakes news. To keep us all distracted from the controlled slow motion financial collapse we are living in.

Sinead O'Connor in 2018: “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada.”
