Who do you know here that posts about interesting topics other than bitcoin?

1 USD, yeah possibly because inflation, but I’m not sure 1 sat will be 1 full USD in today’s value

True true.

Open Source, diligently maintained, E2EE is a good example imo

Honestly I wish something like that was the standard. Feels like all data should be E2EE. You interact with a therapist over a web portal? Every inch of that should be encrypted on the device so that the portal doesn’t get clear text data. But… that’s just not the way anyone does things.

And instead we get stuff like this:

Every server you send a request to could expose whatever data you send it. That means DMs, clicks, scrolls, deleted messages, anything.

Privacy depends on the integrity and security competence of the person running the server you’re interacting with. Those things are scarce.

Nostr is great because it just honestly embraces this aspect of the internet. You post, that’s posted forever. No take backs.

Hm, also, here’s an additional thought:

On Nostr, anon accounts work better than any other social media, because of zaps.

You’re still incentivized to post good content, be respectful, build rapport, etc.

Being a belligerent jerk or a bot is way more of a waste on Nostr than on Twitter, for example.

First you realize there is no privacy with Nostr. Everything you post is essentially here forever.

Then you realize that’s how the entire internet works. Every server you interact with that isn’t ingesting E2E encrypted data could expose that data (if it doesn’t by default). Your Instagram DM could get exposed in a hack, or Instagram could be secretly sharing it with advertisers anyway.

I come here to share thoughts, and because of the permanence of the internet, I don’t necessarily what these thoughts associated with me forever. At least not yet. There are people I know and work with that have such a stigma about these topics that it could legitimately have a negative impact… and you can’t undox yourself.

Is that disingenuous and self-censoring bullshit? I mean… yeah probably.

But, this is one of the only places I share what I actually think without giving a shit what anyone thinks of it. In that way it feels like a super power.

I think eventually I’ll put my name on here… or maybe I’ll always be a dragon, it’s kinda fun. Either way - due to the nature of the internet, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing anonymous thoughts.

lmao

You would think, but unfortunately:

Thanks a ton

I’ve got the button but it only tries to open bluewallet, and I need it to prompt for WoS instead… know how I can do that?

I’m on Damus. Amethyst is android only right?

cc nostr:npub1uq6dv4yq94704gk5r22jsqg9gy2wpxkk5dft9q5gugc8tj53nq2qg5q22d how you zapping these notes

Interesting - because I can see the number of zaps on a post, so like, people are zapping posts somehow, just don’t know how

You know that moment where you don’t know something but don’t want to ask, and then a lot of time goes by and you still don’t know but it’s been too long to ask?

I don’t.

On an unrelated note, how do I zap one? (A note, that is).

Dude this is Nostr, what you post is here forever. This is not a place I post frequently, but it is the place I post the most thoughtful shit I can think of.

Artic got me

What scenario are you needing to use a VPN anyway? HTTPS encrypts internet traffic.

Drop and run, duh

nostr:npub1qkfnmpuz692azr8c5phn0930x2v92xyqvwgr6ve8znaa3qd6c3hq09ertp is my favorite dev

Sounds like GPTBot is a good rules follower. Nothing to worry about NYT 👍 nostr:note13gl3mjx2y8phhswf2ctsdvme559rs0wy64u35ejf3qnfglx26n0qxyj3ya
