Yeah, unbelievable but not everybody was born as a native english speaker or being able to invest a huge amount of time into dedicated learning

You don’t imagine at all how it sounds for people who’s countries at war, do you?

God thats so stupid, did bitcoiners ended on bitcointalks?

That is what you wrote. Probably you have assumed something else, but to make it more sound and viral omitted it idk

But it reads pretty insulting for those states which “go to war” because they have to

And todays sentiment is “any war is bad” and how ridiculous and unbelievable it sounds - but a lot of ppl take this claim even further and say “wars are sooo bad that one should better get enslaved and genocided than going to war”

So tbh such claims don’t help much

There are at least 2 states going to war in every case. Do you claim they all do it JUST to avoid telling the truth?

How many times in your life terrorists and terrorist states used misinformation against your country and your family?

I know its hard to believe, especially been in software development, know it by myself — but govts everyday protects millions of ppl from being dumb

They do it extremely inefficiently on internet and its annoying and needs to be changed. But it doesn’t mean this should not be done at all

Its a protocol, yes, and it needs tools. Nobody uses http, pop and imap, everybody use gmail and facebook

And those tools must have options to fight with misinformation. Want tools for terrorist? Ok, go build it and have plans to fight with govts

My question is whether nostr community has any tools for good ppl in mind or it blindly believes that no tools will work better than govt regulations?

I’m saying that misinformation is actually a real and a big problem. It is difficult to fight with though. And the ways govts fight with it are often times inadequate (as very many things govts do very inefficiently i.e. money management)

But the fact govts handle this problem bad doesn’t mean the problem doesn’t exist. And highly unlikely that if instead not handle the problem at all things to become net positive.

I’m developing for nostr. And I know on my own unfortunately, how bad misinformation in social media is in real life. And claims like “let your enemies speak” only make me less want to help nostr live. Because I know on my own awful example what happens “when your enemy speaks” saying 1000% lies

Nostr needs to provide censorship resistance to real people with good intentions. But at the same tome nostr needs to find the ways to address problems of people with bad intentions playing their own game. And not handling it at all - is not a viable solution.

So you see those letters as a pure attack on social media without it being a fix to some problem correct? And if yes, I assume, you think those letters addressed purely to for one single reason - for govt control social media as they like against humanity, plebs, peoples, nations etc, correct? Those letters pursue only the interests of some THEM? WEF, Elites, Reptiloids etc right? Thats how you see “those letters”?

So you think those letters have no background at all and just made to make Elon’s and his X users life more complicated? Those letters are not trying to fix something, even if in a very inefficient way?

And yeah, be sure, if nostr adopts, it will get the same letters - clients may be deleted from app stores, or at least requested to. Relay operators will get such letters too

Nostr doesn’t fix it in any way no except for accepting tons of spam of different types. And as we know, spam (and misinformation) is usually used as a weapon and not as a shield

Or are there any work done in nostr in order not to only allow all types of spam to be present but also different mechanics to navigate this spam and being able to make your own, better conclusions ?

I’d say it looks interesting but not promising. Because it does not solve any problem today nor adds any value (today)

There are plenty of platforms where you could host your SPA for free, with great guarantees, fast servers and CDNs, nostr doesn’t provide any of those

Censorship resistant SPA? There is no problem like that today

RIOT

I don’t understand why you’re not rioting in the streets.

They locked you up for 12 months and then caused all this inflation.

Every aspect of your life is dictated by some fake government regulation.

And now they’re trying to shut you up with the censorship bill?

You get filmed everywhere you go, and they think you’re dumb enough to be controlled by propaganda.

All your income gets eaten up by taxes, but you don’t even notice it because they’re all hidden.

When I walk outside, I don’t get why everyone’s so calm.

Don’t they notice that we’re living under a dictatorship?

Or worse, a kleptocracy dressed up as a democracy?

I mean, I think some people notice.

They complain about how expensive things are.

But they don’t actually DO anything about.

And I think that’s because they’ve been beaten down to the point that they believe that the crushing weight of totalitarianism is INEVITABLE.

This is what happens when you rob the population of their means to defend themselves.

They become docile, compliant slaves.

The Americans knew this, and they’re prepared to die for their right to defend themselves against tyranny.

Australians are not.

And it’s all I can see when I walk the streets.

Downtrodden serfs living under communism.

Complaining, but never acting.

If you don’t want to get taxed more, you’re going to have to stand up and say “No”.

Tell Albanese that we want our money out of the bloated public service and back in our own pockets.

Then tell him to repeal all the fake regulations.

Stop telling me how to live my life.

And while you’re at it, abolish the ATO.

How can you charge a capital gains tax if you’re not my partner in the venture?

How can you justify taxing me to pay for a war in Ukraine?

And how can you compulsorily acquire my land?

It’s all State sanctioned theft under the threat of violence.

Damn, “bitcoiners” and “freedom fighters” are so dumb this days, its scaring. Interesting if its a normal state of things or such an attack on bitcoin and freedom?

It takes good people to do nothing for bad people to win

Title “senior software developer” doesn’t mean anything today.

Business wants a lot of simple software products.

Business doesn’t want to pay for complex engineering solutions.

Definitions of a “true engineer” changed a lot and those who acquired it in the past don’t like it — it’s a very good thing today our software doesn’t have to deal with 250 different driver. Its a good thing today “cross browser compatibility” almost does not exist.

It does not mean an engineer who knows how to fix cross browser issues is senior and one who believes browsers mostly interoperable — is not.

How does dollar get imposed by force today? And lets not discuss something that took place 20, 50 or 100 years ago. How dollar imposed by force TODAY?

If you mean that “US participating in collective defense with allies to enable free and safe business” is “by force” then how do you call rusia committing genocide in real-time TODAY? and for 30 years non stop. And they by the way can impose their empire currency even on occupied territories in some cases

So this argument is completely pointless. Its bad protecting bitcoin by simply attacking dollar and everyone behind it
