Was looking for inspiring original art
Just found
#ArtstrContest
And #artstr
☺️
I have five things to say,
five fingers to give into your grace.
First, when I was apart from you
this world did not exist
nor any other.
Second, whatever I was looking for
was always you.
Third, why did I ever learn to count to three?
Fourth, my cornfield is burning!
Fifth, this finger stands for Rabia
and this is for someone else.
Is there a difference?
Are these words or tears?
Is weeping speech?
What shall I do, my love?
-- Rumi

Science is a social activity
This article is a really good insight into how social pressures and group behavior introduce bias
* bias in selecting what is studied
* bias in how studies are conducted
True this
"the type of garden you want says a lot about the type of life you want to live"
Knowledge and intelligence are derivative works obtained by absorbing & synthesising data
Why should AI knowledge be a copyright infringement but not human knowledge?

X Community Notes is accurate, unbiased and trusted to a good degree
The use case of truthiness computed by an OSS consensus algorithm could be greatly expanded
But probably won't be

Advertisers control ad placement
The chain of control & censorship is
Advertisers > 'creators' > consumers
// another version of corporate news
Oh! nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c is the author of my favorite desktop #nostr client https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip 😄
Runs sweetly on #linux
Stasis is poignant
Achievement is a better measure of length of life than years with a heartbeat
Time measures change, if nothing changes no time passes
Freedom of speech is quite literally freedom of reach
While individuals should have the freedom to mute/block, algorithmic suppression is the cause of most social ills seen in the corporate centralized model
A news/opinion/outrage feed is not a network is not a community is not really social media
It's a stream
Not nodes on a graph
A stream from producers > consumers
Insofar as consumers have a voice it's to upvote or downvote the product
That's the corporate model
And why I'm not bothered about the lack of 'big names' on #nostr
Nostr has conversations
That's more important
I'm seeing a lot of smart ppl building a lot of things on #nostr for free
20% of those things I don't even understand what they do
That's my layman heuristic for having confidence in nostr among competing messaging protocols

Hey thanks the directory is really useful 😊
Centralized corporate social media has an asymptotic limit of 'meh'
Elon is building the absolute best social media within that limit
Open protocol driven social media has no such limit and can truly suck or be truly awesome
What do you use to convert fiat to crypto?
As someone new to this
*Buying sats* with fiat was a huge pain in the ass mainly because of the horribly buggy broken verification systems of most crypto exchanges
The irony is that lightning network is the most beautifully painless payment system I've ever used
Next time I need to fiat > crypto thinking will try a P2P exchange 🤔
