Glad to be a part of nostr and taking part in this hackathon, will join the next one too :)

You are talking about some instant messenger use case. Social media today works thanks to the fact there are 10% of creators with a huge follower lists who create 90% of content and 90% of consumers who create 10% of content

Without creators social media becomes instant messenger with bonuses. You can’t build social network without making it really work for creators

And creators won’t use it if there are only their friends who will follow them

Well while most of the times with almost any startup thats true, in this case it seems to me its not and maybe not microblogging but nostr needs more features. Or some kind of a killer feature

Its interesting to build for nostr but tbh I still can’t find anything interesring to consume hete

Apart from the fact that “they can never lose it” does not exist. Its just a responsibility one can do better and other can do worse

There are always people smarter than you, but most of the time there are no people more interested in something important for you than yourself

And choosing right balance is your responsibility even if you try to avoid it

Sometimes you just have to say the truth out loud, even if no one agrees with you, just so you can hear it spoken, or see it written.

Our Government is lost, and completely out of control. It no longer belongs to the people.

January 6th was an insurrection.

But not on the part of the people against the government. It was an insurrection on the part of the political establishment and the administrative State, against the people and the democratic Republic. It was a coup. It was planned jointly by the CIA and the FBI, with coordination coming from both Pelosi’s and McConnells offices, with assistance from the Capitol Police. Trained instigators from Ukraine who worked with the CIA in Ukraine, who helped instigate the 2014 Maidan riots, were present.

FBI assets from within Antifa were present. FBI informants and instigators from various spinoff operations which grew out of the original PatCon program were present. They planned and instigated violence in order to discredit the American people, and disenfranchise them. The FBI did the same thing in 1999 in Seattle at the WTO protests. The CIA have done this all over the world. The pattern is always the same. Turn a naturally occurring protest into something violent using agents, then use the corporate media to villainize the people themselves, and create false prosecutions against political opposition.

Like John Dotson, recently retired Federal Agent of 30 years said last week, Government of the People, by the People for the People is gone. The Federal government is now a criminal organization which seeks only its own power, and to destroy its enemies.

Many people are uncomfortable admitting this. They still want to believe democracy is still functioning. But this is a fallacy. We now live in an occupied country, with the enemies of the people masquerading as elected representatives through rigged elections.

You cannot come to terms with the truth unless you first face it.

But what do we do? Well, honestly


We must do to this Federal Government what it has intended to do to us
 we must disenfranchise it. We must render it impotent and irrelevant. After all, legally, it belongs to us, and we can do whatever we like with it. We must take control of local government and insulate it to directly disobey our occupied, out of control Federal government. We must create information and monetary systems outside of their control. Local economics, circular supply chains, and self sufficiency.

And we have to do it all with joy, happiness, and commitment.

I don’t care if you agree or disagree. No matter where you fall, if you’re honest, you already know in your heart that this is the path forward. Its just that it feels so big and scary. But if we would be free, they have left us no choice.

Ukraine is mentioned for hype purposes only right?

The best way to protect your private keys today is to have a client which:

1. Has code in open source

2. Has this code audited (regularly or audited once but you use fixed version without updates)

3. Deliver this code on your own to your device or use someones code deployed to a store (like damus) BUT then it MUST support reproducible builds (very difficult especially for iOS), details: https://core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds

Otherwise you can only trust developers, their best and honest motives and their advanced security measures

P.S. even in this case you actually trust (at minimum) Intel/AMD/Apple to not use their backdoors in hardware against you

How is ZBD different from any other client where you input your private key instead of on-demand air-gapped signing from offline device?

For example, how can you be sure that Damus does not send your private keys directly to its own servers? Yes, you see source code on github (which you won’t audit ever) but you have no way to check that app on your iphone was buily using this source

Btw, for a long time I’m looking at https://ascrono.com/products/macbook-pro-vertical-dock-m1-16inch (or similar) and still thinking could it worth it

Haven’t you ever tried something alike by any chance?:)

Mine is pretty old. i’m sure soon enough new ones will appear to cover such sizes and they will still cost around $2-$3

Different people different priorities, but I buy Apple to save money and it works great for a decade or so. I can’t justify paying $90 for a laptop stand in 2023 even though I buy much more expensive devices

Maybe I just have different use-cases and/or habits but I think its important to share with others that its not a necessity to buy an overpriced goods just because you are using Apple :)

I had different pads in my lifetime and none of them worked. Ended up with this one for around $10 with a super nice case that does 90% pf the job.

Regarding Cleanshot I can’t imagine what group is it aimed for. For devs standard screenshot is more than enough

For designers and creators they know how to use much powerful tools. Also screenshotting does not sound like a task for $2 per month

Yes thats absurd to praise a rusian guy who is 100% pootins asset just because 10 years ago sone useless shit against USA

Would it be as breaking if pootin or Kim Jong Un decided to share their opinion on Nostr at Nostrasia (would be really big for Nostr)?

Keep in mind, they are on the same boat with Snowden

Whats so breaking in the fact that you want to rusify nostr conference in Asia? However
 agree, its breaking it :)
