Obvious Plant.

I've had the opposite experience. I brought up Nostr with new friends who had not only heard of it before, but who had tried it and thought that it was awful. I mean, I agreed with them, Nostr kinda DOES suck.

As I understand it, my ISP DEMANDS that I use a modem running proprietary protocols.

I put that sucker in passthrough mode and shoved it into a faraday cage. My main router runs FreshTomato firmware (OpenWRT is an objectively better OS btw, but FreshTomato serves my purposes for now.)

Even in a world without any courts that doesn't mean you can just shoot someone without facing any consequences. For example, can't you think of anything preventing the white, privileged, authoritarian faggot from shooting and killing you just as easily as you can shoot and kill them? Obviously just because the courts exist doesn't mean that we live in society that's always just, but is there anything to guaruntee justice in a society without courts?

If someone's only goal is reducing welfare fraud then isn't there no reason for them to crowdfund all public services? Shouldn't the only thing they need to crowdfund be welfare itself? Is there something else you are hoping to accomplish besides ending welfare fraud?

That's true, so why are you half-assing your performance?

If your infosec "only works" if you don't tell anybody about it then that's security through obscurity, and obscuring one's infosec is never a robust defense.

It's a great thing that I'm anonymous on the internet. That's what allows me to be so open and objective. There's nothing that could create a conflict o

interest for me besides my own beliefs or insecurity.

If you aren't trying to be mysterious, and you aren't just hoping nobody guesses your infosec, and you aren't just insecure about your choices and know you can't defend your choices against criticism, that what even reason could you have for avoiding engagement and objectivity?

Ooh, mysterious... Good job larping as a secret agent. I don't get why you are so insistent that privacy isn't performative when your reasons are just as subjective and baseless as I said everyone's are. The only best practice when engaging in hobby activities is to have fun. It's fine to invent your own threat model based entirely on vibes, just have some self awareness about it!

Whatever works for you I guess. Personally hate spending other people's money, so I only use debit.

In any case, if credit card theft is irrelevant, then do you have any specific examples of data that you've had leaked that you do care about and that these technologies would actually help with?

No thank you. I don't want my interactions on Nostr to be transactional. Your words are worth more to me and your money is worth more to you.

Actually Dave Marcus bought me my summer cabin. How dare you badmouth him!

Sounds like you don't have enough grass.

For me, I hate the database because it drastically isolates the people who produce the data from the people who use it. The kind of feedback and backchannels that come from two human beings interacting with eachother and eachother's work is the very thing that helps people to improve and is the only reason good data exists in the first place.

A human trained on an artwork will often engage with the artist and that artwork. An AI web scraper never will. People joke about "thank you"s directed at AIs wasting large amounts of energy, but the real waste is that none of those thank-yous will trickle backward towards the people who most deserve them.

...Anyone can make an AI generated image too.

Have you considered comissioning an actual human being to make a default Amethyst banner? It will shut people up and you can just think of it as artificial AI.

Literally none of those technologies will prevent you from experiencing credit card fraud. (Except maybe Monero?)

All of these technologies are made to protect people from far more sophisticated threats than the average credit card thief, and all of these technologies count on a person having a baseline level of information security. I don't know how you managed to get your credit card information stolen, but none of these would have helped you.

The primary way that hackers and even darknet vendors get caught is due to mistakes completely unrelated to these technologies.

What do you mean you had your data leaked? Like, your phone number or credit card?

God damn, forget jury tampering, bro just invented lawyer tampering

Stop portraying me as a soyjack!!! I'm serious, is there anything that could happen to people in power that would satisfy you? Nothing could ever change the past, so could anything ever be enough do uou think? I want to know!

Bro you don't gotta be weird about it, she probably just really likes playing tennis...

nostr:nprofile1qqs2jhxcly53tpylngvq2vzvrtsv6srhd7330h37mg9myx9p08c5z3sfhcxtc I'm just salty about being trapped here on this godforsaken platform and so I'm daydreaming about reposts of my notes earning lots of Reddit gold. Does that clear up your 🤔?

Moral of the story is to know the future. I've missed out on so much money just because I remembered backwards instead of remembering forwards like I should have...😫

I mean, it's financial crime, so isn't that at least a little new?

It will never be sated, because your thirst arises from your own insecurity, not the fates of others.

Hello again, good to see you're still around.

I asked you a simple yes or no question: "Is it ever right to accept an apology?" You didn't answer that question with a yes or a no. Regardless of if I'm being genuine, shouldn't you be able to explain why you chose not to answer with a yes or a no?

If people always mean to do everything they do, (because people aren't actually retarded robots) and if people never change their beliefs about what is moral, then is there ever such a thing as a sincere apology?

If you can't answer these, can you at least give me an example of a selfish or sinister belief that a bad person might use to guide their immoral behavior?

It's fine if you see me as a scoundrel, but can you please articulate what part of my questions strike you as disengenuous?

Is any part of my post addressed by your own? You insist that there is something vitally important which I didn't read, but apparently it wasn't worth it for you to even so much as copy and paste it onto Nostr? I wrote out a response specially for your note responding to some of the things you said. Does that sound like low effort spamming to you?

You are right that Tor's team of independent directory authorities vote on what nodes get excluded from the network, but that doesn't contradict what I said about Tor. For the users, Tor provides decentralized trust.

Is Arweave a cryptocurrency? A darknet? What is the threat model? Y'all compare yourself with Tor, but I need someone to walk me through this.

Theft is pathetic.

Okay, my identity is wrapped up in my beliefs and no matter what facts and perspective you give I will never change. I love talking with people like that. Talking with someone is a great opportunity to practice articulating my thoughts, and it's a great opportunity to figure out and test why some people disagree with me. Why is the fact that I won't change or whatever a problem for you?

So you say my parents are sad and kill themselves too. How is the world any different now that it's missing one vile and disgusting individual with wretched beliefs and now that it's missing the two parents of that individual? Now some store is missing it's cashier or whatever we are saying my job is, and now nobody is living in the same city, town, or apartment building as me. What's the actual effect of that? You don't have to argue with me any more? Do you think my ideas will suddenly stop being correct if I'm dead and if everyone around me is dead? Are you just so insecure that this is the only way you vould ever feel better? Or is there some other consequence you are expecting?

Who have I tramatized besides you? I hate to talk too much about my personal life, but my family certainly isn't tramatized. My sexual attraction is none of my family's business. What are the signs of mental illness? Being a Jew? Growing up with the wrong cultural background? No offense if you believe in the extermination of all Jews of course, I wouldn't hold that against you. I'm just trying to understand how you would ever manage to catch a pedophile like me unless I'm stupid enough to rape some kid.

I feel so free to express my depraved beliefs because the only consequence is that I get to have interesting conversations with people who disagree with me. Our right to speak freely without one of us being killed is a law of nature, not a privelege granted by society.

Based?

I appreciate your transparency. I am here because nostr:npub1vaan5ajwumxzf4x7lruy3yf5dxrgen2ttnlc3nxt7w4rwq0fulrsx0yzmw said the word "pedo" in their comment and I searched Nostr for that keyword not too long after they made their post saying Charlie Kirk defended a pedo.

I've been seeing posts for months now calling Donald Trump a pedophile when they SHOULD be calling ME a pedophile. I've just been sighing and scrolling past them for months now, telling myself that people will move on when the next big political topic comes up, but guess what? The next big political topic came up and someone STILL chooses to try and insert "Trump is da pedoo!" into it.

I just wanted to test whether nostr:npub1vaan5ajwumxzf4x7lruy3yf5dxrgen2ttnlc3nxt7w4rwq0fulrsx0yzmw is so genuinely brainrotted that they are incapable of discussing Charlie Kirk's beliefs or his death without talking about "Trump pedo!!!"

To respond to your script, you 100% got me. I'm irritated at the mild inconvenience that people aren't talking about the things I find interesting, and I'm over here trying to construct a mathematical proof for why the person who irritated me is a doodoo head.

Sounds like you are making full use of his death in order to put words in his mouth with no way for him to correct you on what is actual beliefs are.

I hope you don't mind picking your favorite of those and sharing a source for it in this thread. It's ridiculous for me to assign homework just for someone to have a conversation with me, but I'd love to sit down and form a position on any of those topics here now with you.

What are you talking about? You never even asked me if I was sexually attracted to children. You just assumed I wasn't because the idea of a confident, rational, and openminded pedophile is inconceivable to you.

I would have told you immediately. Ask anyone; I'm very upfront about being sexually attracted to children. You can even look back through the conversation. I called nostr:nprofile1qqsfcts2suzpxaeuhy2mnjwd9cwt69l98t3tp2r2hf09hu8uz0zzp5spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsyg8jf4 a coward for saying that younger children aren't sexually attractive and I made a distinction between rape and staturory rape.

I wasn't "hiding" the fact that I'm a pedophile so much as it just wasn't relevant. It still isn't relevant by the way, are just being proactive and looking for excuses to dismiss my position just in case I have actually good arguments.

People make your arguments all the time, but that's only because they got it into their head that having sex makes someone less of a loser and they are insecure about the fact that they wouldn't have sex with a kid even though kids need to improve more than anyone.

They have to come up with all kinds of excuses for why they won't have sex with kids even though they believe sex makes someone a winner. "Well, having sex with kids actually makes them evil! It's only when they become adults that it makes them a winner."

"Oh no! I'm not holding their inexperience against them, it's hust that... they are booger face brats! They aren't cute or attractive at all!"

"Kids just aren't capable of rational thought, only adults are! Measure their craniums with this device. See? They could never even properly understand sex. They wouldn't get anything out of it, they would just end up confused!"

Or maybe having there's no excuse for having sex with bimbos and failures. Maybe sex doesn't fix people. Maybe people are just sluts, or having sex with sluts. Maybe winners are just better than everyone else regardless of if they get laid.

But no, better that a kid gets killed than exist as living proof that all of your rationalizations about sex hold zero weight. Me, I've never been molested and I've never molested anyone else, but if I am executed or if I rot in prison then I will never commit the far worse sin of challenging your sexuality and your views on children. Am I wrong?

(Statutory) raping children is completely different from killing them. There is nothing hypocritical about believing that sex with children is just while also believing that killing children is unjust. Just because someone's beliefs don't abide by your arbitrary categorization. Doesn't mean that they are hypocrites. "This person says apples are awful, but I caught them eating oranges! They are a hypocrite!"

Oh yeah. I remember trying to make a post in a community once. Never again.

That cat do be watching...

What is the point of noreturn?

How many of those ethically abhorrent things amount to saying things that you don't approve of?

I love this.

I love disagreeing with people. I don't think I could ever live a life where I always try to avoid disagreeing with people. Therefore, I am very curious to interrogate your idea of closedmindedness. Please tell me, is it always closed minded to disagree with someone? Or are there scenarios where an openminded person could still disagree with others?

Somehow I don't feel particularly bad about those numbers.

Good. I don't want anybody's money. I just like talking. Paying people to talk just makes the conversation seem transactional to me. Zaps really defeat the purpose of Nostr for me. Other people are free to make that mistake, but I'm good personally.

True and factual.

Genuinely you should feel better. Well maybe you should try to have an intelligent and respectful argument yourself, but if someone gets frustrated then the frustration itself is 100% always on them.

*Gets stung by bee*

Me: "Hey! What was that for?"

Bees: "You were thinking dirty thoughts about the queen, weren't you?!"

Me: "What? No. Isn't she just, like, a slightly bigger bee? What could even be hot about her?"

Bees: "..."
