there and back again

there are probably people who think your "proper" uses are awful too and you have probably dismissed them in your podcast

The WesternBTC is now a trial relay (https://westernbtc.com).

How it works:

When a pubkey is first seen, it's given a trial whitelisting of n days (30 in my case). After the trial period has elapsed, any notes created by the pubkey are deleted. If the pubkey is officially whitelisted at any point before the expiration of the trial period, the pubkey is promoted to full whitelisting and removed from the trial whitelisting.

What this enables:

- sign ups without users having to pay first (terrible UX previously)

- gift wraps now work (NIP-17)

- clean up relay space automatically

does that mean someone can republish notes from everybody into the relay now

and all these people will get on the trial without even knowing they are?

how many times can I join the trial?

racism against black people is a direct consequence of the fact that black africans were only seen as slaves

I was expecting the theory to be that they have false stats since a long time ago and now can't retract, that would make sense

but this is actually a much dumber theory that somehow all these chinese died?

it's not presented in a way that makes sense either, there is basically zero evidence, very underwhelming

all tech is stolen, this is irrelevant

also a society can be very prosperous without any nuclear tech

weirder than the fuentes phenomena is the phenomena of right wing influencers that talk about fuentes all the time trying to grab some of his fame

but these things in the picture are indeed different, it's not just the way of looking

I wonder what % of this is written by an LLM instructed to copy the style of optech

for-profit means you care more about your own bottom line than protocol openness and other distant ideals

x, tiktok, meta are for-profit

twitter famously "felt like a protocol" as Jack says but being for-profit it quickly turned into AI slop shadowban military industrial complex paradise

lots of people think "for-profit" means they will get better quality

in practice they will get embrace-extend-extinguish-enshittify

open the agent

type "make it prettier"

see what happens

users are not customers if they're not paying

but also we definitely do not want to charge users if all they want is to use an open-source client, that would be awful

remember how everybody was using masks

aren't you a professional talker?

nostr has 12k users according to to npub.world

it looks like "building" (vibecoding) is not working

do we have another strategy?

if only nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 had used his influential talk to promote a real app that worked

pattern recognition is not reasoning

it's a primitive subhuman way of evaluating scenarios and making decisions

yes I was being sarcastic

most grantees seem to be more worried about traveling or delivering half baked apps no one wants

also probably refactoring

it is land stolen from texans themselves you retard

the us government tricked texas into joining with the promise they could leave if they wanted

now you're a tax cow for washington pedophiles and you're very proud of it, amazing

after all what were all the drones flying over new jersey earlier this year?

somehow I knew you were racist even before you started to make it all about race?

oh maybe it was because of your talk about "nation", which is a magic word for people that act guided by white nationalism psyop in order to distract people from the real issue that is the power and legitimacy of government

but you are right, I was guessing

I was ultimately right, but I could have been wrong

having spaces in nostr names prevent searching for them with a @

yes

the conversation was never about how the poor whites are being traded unfairly

and I never denied that either

but this guy insists in framing everything as a war between races

it's hopeless
