Building nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 and #purplestack | BA 🇦🇷

GrapheneOS is fantastic. I use it every day and kind of take it for granted, it's good to stop for a minute and be grateful that it exists.

It runs smooth on my Pixel, I got the hang of fine-grained permissions, used multiple profiles and the private space. I have most of the apps I need, battery is quite good, and Google or big tech is refreshingly absent.

The only noticeable downgrade from an iPhone in my experience is the camera and image-related software. Camera app is too basic and sometimes crashes, image quality is average, and image editing capabilities are very limited.

In all other aspects, definitely an upgrade. Highly recommend making the move.

Yep! It's on Graphene. Pixel is good enough for me, except the camera

What if you want to leave a legacy?

Partially agree

In the USA, I got a check that included 18% tip.

Total was $35.24. So I left $35 in cash and left to the door.

Waiter stopped me to tell me there were 24 cents missing.

Why don't you start calling it a tax?

Because I would have to find the URL somewhere, I would still need to search, only outside the app

Obtainium is good because of the massive catalog but the UX is terrible

Tried to set up the Grand Slam of excellence using Obtainium.

Maybe I'm not the smartest user, but it took me over 5 minutes

(Note: I was trying to find the Github release of Amber, not Fdroid, I should have previously unselected those sources from the options)

Elite means excellence. The current ruling class is parasitic not excellent

GrapeRank uses something called "interpretation" to translate whatever input you have access to & find valuable into a standardized format that is ready for digestion by the GrapeRank algo. GrapeRank is also contextual. So far, I have implemented only one GrapeRank context: verified real nostr user. And yes, the input is follows and mutes. Other GrapeRank contexts will take other inputs.

But when I say PageRank is about popularity, I'm not referring to the input. I'm referring to the score itself. It's designed to be a measure of popularity. The more followers you attract, the higher your PageRank score gets. It incentivizes you to become an Influencoor.

The GrapeRank "real nostr user" score is not a popularity contest because your score does not continue to grow unbounded. Instead, it levels out at unity. If you have 0 followers, your score is 0. And then it increases with each follower, depending on that follower's GrapeRank score. If you get 50 high quality followers, your score might be something like 0.95. If you boost your follower count to 500, your GrapeRank score may be something like 0.995. For this particular GrapeRank context, your score never goes above 1.

Now, I'm not saying we shouldn't use PageRank. It's great for filtering out spam and it's (relatively) easy to calculate. It's well-known and there are lots of relevant tools out there. I use neo4j to calculate PageRank as one of three WoT scores currently available on my site. But it's not the not the final word in graph-based recommendation engines. It's barely the first word. A popularity score makes sense for Google, bc influencers drive traffic and increase ad revenue. For freedom tech, we need to think deeply and differently about how and why we use these algos.

I asked about inputs because that defines if it's usable or not.

What kind of interpretation is performed, and how exactly is that fed to the algo?

And also what is the goal of Graperank? Personalized Pagerank gives you a very good idea of the trusted people. You can then apply context, at least we are not suggesting it as an automatic curation tool.

I don't have any more details.

Again very grateful for the grant I received last year which allowed me to build all this so far.

It's a tough one to swallow, not gonna lie. I will take a few weeks to think about the future of the project.
