Thanks, I'll do that. I wasn't sure what was best practice there

nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspr3mhxue69uhksmmyd33x7epwvdhhyctrd3jjuar0dak8xtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7208x3z I watched your Nostrasia panel and read your latest article last night, really glad to hear you reach all of those conclusions. I concur with all of it and #Flotilla is fucking based because of it

The icing on the cake is that it doesn't immediately decrypt dm's. Like I have sovereign choice in this matter? Thank you! I'm comfortable using Amethyst for dm's still, so πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

If I had 10x more zaps I would zap you 10x more times for this great app ⚑

Thanks, I'm glad my vision for relays makes sense to someone other than myself πŸ˜‚

Yes, flotilla supports the core of the spec, but with a different spin on things

Watching Star Wars 9 with my kids this weekend it seems to have fully made the transition from whatever Star Wars was ( western?) to a Marvel movie. Instead of telling a story about and for people, suspense is only sustained by more stuff going on onscreen. This is the first Star Wars that I actually feel uncomfortable showing my kids because of the creepiness of the emperor. Plus, I'm bored by it.

That's a good point, I know what you mean. They have their blinders on in some ways, but we don't have too

Just finished watching The Social Dilemma, and it makes me more excited than ever about nostr. There are lots of ways nostr might actually make the problem worse, but if we can do a good job of putting the user at the center of digital systems, and designing those systems humanely, we might be able to provide a huge missing piece of the puzzle. Most of the solutions at the end of the movie depended on collective action, on outlawing advertising-based business models, enforcing policy to protect kids, etc. Some of that may be necessary, but I'm excited to be part of the very small group of technologists who are trying to do something about these problems, on our own terms, and in a way that preserves freedom and individual agency for society as a whole.

I'm going to write about something less obvious

Whining because you feel entitled to someone else's attention/platform/money/work/etc is not the nostr way

Want me to be completely honest? Reason why it’s good or was good is bc nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac designed it, and also allowed for outsiders to request apps to be added, I requested 6 months ago for him to take a look at Hivetalk for him to add n he did take a look n added it..

His design is good. Have you talked to fiatjaf about this?

Also, the reason it's good is because it's curated β€”Β which is most easily accomplished by centralization. Someday nostrapp.link will be better but... it's not

better question why is https://nostrapps.com controlled by a single point of failure??

this doesn’t seem very decentralized

it’s literally the go-to for finding apps in our ecosystem nostr:note16w3stvwm0qzmkczmjaa4r8eqt2sy4rssugah7p84vz5ln5t3nu2q3flsk2

There are like 15 different app registries, all of which are centralized. Why complain about just this one?

Criticism != hostility. Keep going, hivetalk is getting better! I even used it with a non-nostr person recently.

That's what the`client` tag is for, although no one uses it. Otherwise, we'd have to do client fingerprinting (which shouldn't honestly be that hard).

Outbox doesn't strictly improve discovery of notes. Pre-outbox, we might have had better success, but only because we were relying on centralization. Outbox is the only way to decentralize and scale simultaneously. And for it to work, people who want it to work for their notes have to do the following:

- Publish a kind 10002 which points to relays that do in fact satisfy the purpose of nip 65 (write relays should be public read, or at least readable to people you want to see your stuff; read relays should be public write, or at least writable by people you want to be able to contact you)

- Migrate past notes to new relays when changing relay selections

- Use clients that provide relay hints in case of censorship

- Use clients that provide pubkey hints so that quotes and parent notes can be dereferenced using outbox

Right now, not a lot of clients do much of this. The ones that do have buggy implementations. So currently outbox doesn't work, and doesn't really exist. But I reiterate, it's the only way to decentralize and scale.

I overheard someone asking what Trump is going to rename Greenland to, I had to interject, "Red White and Blue Land of course!"

Nostr: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, let's try to get Nicholas Carr on nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn 's podcast to discuss his upcoming book "Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart"

Nicholas Carr wrote a good book a bunch of years ago that definitely informed my thinking, "The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains" https://medium.com/@pablof7z/notes-from-the-shallows-29c9d86e0b06

I'm in

I like the solution that nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk is implementing for Iris.

Coracle has had this for quite a while too

I still have an open issue, but it's been hard to track down. I'll circle back andaybe we can troubleshoot together

Deletes are "delete requests". Since you're on a decentralized network, you can't guarantee that everyone will respect the request, or that the request will reach everyone that has your content. In general though, deletes tend to work pretty well.

New version of Flotilla is now available via nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7cmgwf5hxarsd9kxctnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqghwaehxw309ashgmrpwvhxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg3waehxw309ucngvpwvcmh5tnfduhszenhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7mnsw43rzvmx0gcrg6n9dgmku6m5we68veejx3jx5wfjxesn2cm5vdkkzaekv44hqwfsxgux2atcxdc85vmrwduxgun3vajrwdmew5lkyun0v9jxxctnws7hgun4v5qzq7xwd748yfjrsu5yuerm56fcn9tntmyv04w95etn0e23xrczvvrazn02n6! This one will be slightly less annoying. Let me know if you run into any bugs, or have any criticisms β€”Β next up is an app store release, then usability testing.

* Add NIP 56 reports for messages and threads

* Add ToS and privacy policy

* Add avatar fallback icons

* Add mark as read to chats

* Add send button to chat compose

* Accommodate onion URLs

* Improve loading and notifications

Google's App Signing ToS is evil: https://play.google/play-app-signing-terms/

They make you upload your signing key so that they can inject arbitrary code into your app. For "security"

All of the above, a nostr TLD sort of implies nostr is one sort of thing, but it's capable of powering lots of different types of apps. It would be like having a ".net" tld (which of course we have, but it's still silly).

ICANN is one thing, but specific tlds are even more centralized, c.f. xyz. If most nostr things ended up using the nostr tld, it would be even easier to wipe them all off the face of the web in one shot.
