Agree with you here. The only addition from me would be that I'd say we have 100% control over our data if we can delete it or, at least, remove it. When data leaves our devices, effectively, we lose control over it. So, within the context of networked data and compared to centralised services, decentralised services and protocols certainly afford us *more* control.
Thanks for your input here. That's an old post. You've dug deep ð
yeah being connected to a lot of relays uses more battery and a lot of data. All that lightning is having an effect too ð
That's a huge move. Yeah I guess freedom became a lot more expensive and it's also a lot tougher to maintain when you have children. Small businesses got desecrated here too.
There's so much denial going on amongst the politicians now. The pandemic really has exposed their arrogance.
Ok, weirdos, zapspaz's, freakzoidz and nostromos. It's been nothing but pure ð today here in the cathedral of Nostr-Dame. It's great to see. Welcome to all the new peeps - I hope you enjoy your nostr experience. Take it at your own pace and chill. There's a lot more to come.

I spent an hour this morning preparing for packaging of gossip 0.6 (which is not yet released). Generally I work through the dependencies that I have forked and update each one's upstream dependencies and run it's tests, and bubble up the chain until gossip itself has it's dependencies updated. That part is done, so now it is on to compiling on each system and then building the outputs into packages for each architecture.
I just bought a bottom-of-the-line Apple Mac Mini (M2 based though) that I don't even want for anything other than compiling, just so that I can compile and release for Apple silicon more easily, without getting hung up in all the cross-compile or virtualization issues (believe me there are many, and I tried a lot of options before deciding it was too complex and error-prone, and I would still need extra tools to create a '.pkg'). If you run gossip on Apple and want to use the packaged version when it is available, you really ought to throw me a zap as I went NZ$1067 out of pocket for you all (of course you are not obligated to do anything).
This upcoming version will have video thanks to nostr:npub1hlq93jdtkfg29a8s7fqzzzh82q3pkc20rxucwt4geh6e56wk3y2qxdz5wg . If you want to try the 'unstable' branch right now, you can have video right now.
I'm sorry about zaps. I still haven't made time to finish the work, and the weighty decisions about when to fetch which data don't have obviously correct answers, and when I'm not clear whether I'm doing it the best way it makes me hesitate. There are only a few other things that I really want gossip to have soon, such as 'directory' relays to lookup relay list metadata on.
After that I think I will start work on gossip-personal-relay which will be a linux-only server using mmap (for events) and sled+abomination for indexes (no SQL). Because without this personal relay the gossip relay model (and NIP-65) isn't really complete. And I came here to solve the "fully distributed and censorship resistant social media microblogging problem" (not the zap people bitcoin problem, or the github-on-nostr problem or any of a number of other problems), and I can't rest until that problem is fully solved to my satisfaction.
And even though I intend all that, I've got a lot going on that has slowed down my nostr work quite a bit. But I'm still here and I think development will pick up again soon.
Thank you, Michael. I find Gossip to be very useful. Good luck ð
No. That's Jack. I think if he replied to every single message he'd never get anything else done, so don't worry ð
Hey you're already great with the GIFS and the jpg's. Thanks! No need to panic about the zapping stuff. It is real bitcoin which can be exchanged for fiat currency (which means the money we already use) but you can do whatever you want with it. You don't have to take any of it seriously and you can keep your sats (bitcoin) within the nostr network if you want. You might improve your experience by using some paid relays which you can access via zapping.
Nostr is about freedom. There are no algorithms controlling what you see and no ads.
Awesome! So there was one more step.
ð You're an apocalyptic shit disturber. Awesome, man! I'm proud of you too. I can't say I followed the rules. Actually, that's an understatement. I didn't even get any jabs. The more subversive part of me enjoyed wearing a mask in public. I felt like a ninja. Childish, but funny. I'd wear one now just for general anonymity (and for a laugh).
Isn't it so sad and ridiculous how the state managed to turn people against each other? Come to think of it I'm not sure they even did. Perhaps the lockdowns and all the societal oppression brought out something in fearful people - That panic response that causes people to try to control others, and of course the buzz people get when they think they have power. It's turning around now though, right? I don't want to be the one who says 'I told you so' but what I don't hear people saying to me these days is bullshit like 'you're selfish' and 'I don't agree with you' and 'you're killing people'. Those types avoid me now. It really sorted the boys from the men in my life.
Fly on, Brother!
No I don't think you did anything wrong. A new Lightning address can take time to sync across networks. Now that I've added your address to my wallet I can zap you through your profile - On notes and stuff. S'all good.
Hey try opening your wallet and typing #[0]'s WoS address - robustbalance40@walletofsatoshi.com
#[0] Thanks! I received your zap. Still can't zap back. I'm getting an error message. We'll get there ðĪ
Man I don't blame you for any of that. It didn't get quite as prison-guard as that here, but almost until the free press turned it all around. There's still the threat of CBDC's here and ÂĢ38bn (or something like that) was spent on some kind of new digital infrastructure in the name of safety that we haven't seen or heard of since. I can only imagine, and dread, what that was for.
Yeah I never joined the shartphone (no typo there) club. I'm probably being a little too harsh by calling it that. The tech is very impressive, but I've never wanted to take that step towards full-on interconnection. The web is already in my brain. I don't want it in my pocket, too.
