On the end of impartial journalism. How crazy religious tribalism and herd mentality sets the narratives in mainstream journalism. And how differently The Times of London reported about the Crimean war - the good old days ;-)
And here's the link to the episode I was actually referring to:

I find it rather disappointing it uses its own centralized server to post rather than sending it directly to the relays and that the server returns a 500 response and the article isn't published.
What I like about Claude is it's MCP capabilities. By renting an inexpensive Linux host and running remote desktop controller on it, Claude became a personal assistant capable of installing and even coding its own tools (more mcp servers). Only the voice recognition is rather disappointing compared to chatgpt.
Is Decent Newsroom a decent Nostr applications? It posts new articles to `https://decentnewsroom.com/api/article/publish` which I wouldn't have noticed if wouldn't to an HTTP 500 response.

We evolved to hunt in hierarchical packs and to aggregate in larger herds with social conformity and contagions. Is it irresponsible to behave accordingly? If so, then this is because of cultural evolution. We value individual autonomy and strive for more efficient and just organizations of society. Institutions, education and technology help making such societal organizations more resilient.
How will Nostr contribute to increase efficiency and reduce oppression?
No, there's a fundamental difference between replacing one dictator with a supposedly benevolent new one and replacing dictatorship with robust decentralized self-governance.
There will be backlashes and regressions, but social progress is real and relativism is cynical.
It makes things easier and it doesn't even look that bad.
The tribes got larger with the formation of nation states. All human societies have some kind of hierarchical elements these are always reproduced by narratives. Storytelling and warfare might be what distinguishes us from other apes. The enlightenment let us question many of the stories that reproduced the feudal society but this doesn't mean we were left with no stories at all. Stories powerful enough to motivate men to sacrifice their life for some ideas, and certainly powerful enough for some people to have privileges other don't have. My point is, that the narrative based web of power and inequality relations is far more complex than a distinction between an exploiting class and the subjugated population. And that the remedy is not just eliminating "the system" but presenting new narratives that allow for a better organization of society.
Do you honestly think a few clever people just sat down and designed this? Isn’t it more plausible that it emerged over centuries through power struggles and shifting social norms?
They do have quite some influence on how many people spend their productive or destructive time.
It's totally unpredictable. Or maybe I just shouldn't drink coffee while on prednisone. But I'd prefer to quit the latter!
After a while of inactivity I'm still looking for the same features. Any recommendation for an Android client that provides a share target? Ideally it also supports multiple accounts.
