As wild and free as the sea.

For anyone to think the media especially left leaning CNN is pro Isreal, consider the following.

They literally had reporters who were aware of the Oct 7th massacre stationed with Hamas for the terror attack and went in with them! They were busted doing this with multiple reporters while claiming they had no prior knowledge. Only firing when they absolutely had too for legal reasons. Utterly shameful.

*note

Ignore the fact checkers and read the actual sources. They clearly fired people for this and only claimed in a statement they didnt know.

There is evidence they did, by the sheer amount of their reporters invloved.

The sad thing about war is that only one side has to want it, for both sides to be forced to have it.

While this seems like anargument for American isolationists. It's actually an argument in favor of foreign wars.

For example countries such as China & Russia have made their intentions clear about who they want to be the world power. While countries like Iran and some others have made their ideologies against western living clear. The problem is that all roads lead to a single outcome. War.

There's no escaping it, when one wants it…

Knowing the inevitable one tries to find a method of war with the least amount of casualties. However more important than overall casualties is the casualties on your side. It may seem an immoral suggestion, however under further investigation the raw truth of this reality emerges.

This being the case, the best place for a war you must have is usually on foreign soil.

The more of an intellectual you are the more likely you are to see the world as big and scary. Pushing you to find something or someone bigger than you to follow.

I think Edward Snowden once said something about losing respect for intelligence after seeing the cowardice in some of them but seeing the bravery with-in “simpler” minds.

that feeling you get when there's Only 7 other comments on a post from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m which means there might be a 1/8 chance he reads your comment….

Any ideas?

Is there any email service that lets you sign up without providing a phone number or other info attached to your identity?

I ran some usability tests on 3 nostr clients to get an idea of where new people are struggling. The testing was meant primarily for UI/UX issues. Keep in mind the same of people is small (10) so it may not give us a complete picture.

For each test, I took down notes and counted how many times people pointed out various issues. I then tallied them up to get a general idea of the problem areas:

Terminology issues - 19

UI issues - 15

Discovery issues - 12

Key issues - 12

Perception issues - 8

Lack of content - 5

Didn’t read - 4

Possible major bug - 3

Terminology refers to people who indicated being confused about some of the nostr terms. Among most confusing things were: Keys, relays, Nostr address, nostr, lightning address.

Except for one occasion, everyone was universally lost on those terms and did not have enough information to understand them. People didn’t even know what nostr is (understandably so given that the clients are not named nostr).

UI issues is a broad category of various UI problem areas. My summarized findings point out all of the issues users faced while trying the apps.

Perception issues is my way of defining how people are perceiving the apps. Most people compared them to Twitter. But some have attributed other things like “for trading bitcoin” or “for gambling” among other assigned purposes. Whether that’s an actual problem or not is up to developers to decide, but if you want your apps to appeal to everyone, that’s something to think about.

Discovery issues are where people couldn’t find what they were tasked with - for example finding interesting notes or people.

Key issues encompass a range of problems people ran into such as not knowing if their keys are saved, or how to recover them, or what they mean in the first place. One person logged in with their npub without write permissions and couldn’t do any other tasks, showing a lot of frustration in the process.

Lack of content is just that…

Didn’t read - means they skipped whatever screen was there just to sign up quickly. Most people did not read, though one did. This is important because we need to think about how to make things easy to understand without much reading.

There were a bunch of bugs which could fall under UI issues, but on 3 occasions there were major bugs where the user could not do anything to advance forward. This underscores the importance of testing clients on various operating systems and browser configurations.

The current test findings are in a Google sheet, and I’m happy to share with any developer who’d like to see them. For testers’ privacy reasons I will not share a public link here. DM me if you’d like a link.

Which clients were tested?

Love the vibe, energy, and general sentiment, but going to point out some technicalities.

1.

Similar to how any protocol needs… well… needs a protocol. There must be a rule of law.

2.

Animals are territorial as well, famously monkey tribes attack other monkey tribes over territory in the most brutal fashion. This is natural as a society, hive, tribe, colony… needs a form of protection for itself and its resources.

3.

In order to have anti trust laws to protect you from a Monopoly (ideally anyway). You must have government bodies to oversee it.

Lastly,

I don’t think a society takes away the sovereignty of the individual or their G-D given rights. A society done right is there to protect, foster, and even provide for it NOT take it away.
