I will not stand for this, as a lasagna fan this is blasphemy!

I think we've reached a level only philosophy can answer, "what is a lasagna, really"?

I didn't know what Biryani was so I looked it up, it's nothing like lasagna dude!

That's a new one for me, who cuts pasta? I heard of americans breaking pasta, never heard of them cutting it, what?

yep, there will be no way to get the emoji back from the hash, but you can always recover the account if you have the emoji and as for randomness, correct, if someone knows that you use an emoji key they "only" have to try all the possible emoji instead of all the possible words in the wordlist. it's a compromise for sure, but it's a fine one for the average person (and if you need more security, just don't use this system!)

I mean you can, there is nothing stopping you, but then you have to live with the consequences that if an italian person sees you do it they will jump off a bridge or something from the horrors they witnessed

Hey, that's no joke, that's how my uncle died, he PASTAway. It was a PENNEful experience for the whole family. /s

I can verify, with and without a computer, now and till the end of time, that "5885893a033d01aab4d337375a740c043a8a6241e868873084342a658c3f924c1e43a140111025fd8b5f6a8135f1d077c9fd6c80958834681615bb60be12069e" is a valid signature by "9aff936f8619411c0692e14d7aaf49e45cfd908e8a9c7afd3c72a64ba0dcabfc" for note 3002d0906592f1f372bfedfc0c61c5e770c2a37e7c84d4f267edc8995f544229 (the one I'm replying to), meaning that the owner of that npub authored (you) authored that post.

I don't have to rely on a central authority for that, a relay owner CANNOT submit a note and pretend you sent it, no matter how many resources they have (let's ignore quantum computers, once they become actually real (and I mean actually usable) nostr can easily switch to a quantum resistent algorithm and apps can display warnings over non-quantum signatures).

It has nothing to do with deepfakes. The problem is that posts on any social media (and most chat applications) have no signatures, it's impossible to know that they're actually written by the user that posted it.

This problem has been solved 50 years ago, social media platforms are literally 50 years behind the times; does that make sense now?

Yeah then you can wait forever.... Apple's rules are just too strict; use nostr on your pc or get yourself a better smartphone.

What? It depends on the app plenty of apps allow it... I think you're talking about Damus and other iOS apps, and that's mostly because Apple's restrictions

This issue goes way beyond who you vote for or where you get your news. Whether you're ride-or-die for Trump or Kamala's biggest fan, whether you're glued to CNN or binge-watching Daily Wire, the threat's the same for everyone.

It's the danger of being able to send a public message, pretending to be someone you're not, and your followers not being able to know it's actually you.

Sure, maybe ODELL's war prediction is a bit over the top (though let's be real, in today's world, who knows?), but the potential for trashing someone's reputation or a brand's image? That's 100% legit and seriously concerning.

Nostr fixes this

> 1.) He put Elon Musk prior to the quote

What if he didn't?

> 3.) Who owns America? Nobody sees that and thinks it’s an official corp announcing something that could incite a war. If you saw something online “Iran says I will destroy Florida” and it had the “official” Iran Handle, wouldn’t you look to see who from Iran is saying that? If not, you’re, proverbially, a moron.

What if he tweeted from the POTUS account? X doesn't have any signatures so it doesn't have a way to validate whether the real POTUS account sent the tweet.

And don't forget Closed Communities!

Under Big Tech/Legacy Closed Communities are Centralized, Server Owner Controlled and spied upon

Under Nostr Closed Community Networks are Decentralized, User-Controlled and Encrypted!

I love what the Tuttle Twins are trying to do and i've shown the series to young members of my family as well. Honestly the series is better education for kids than what you get at most schools nowadays.

I agree up to a certain point, learning basic grammar is always a good idea but beyond that you'll pick up anything by listening and eventually after a while talking with people.

Source: I speak 4 languages, mostly fluently

Can confirm that lingq is good, but nothing beats listening to the language all the time (like AJATT)
