I love cheese. WTF 😒

"In 100 years, we will all be buried with our family and friends. Strangers will live in our homes that we worked so hard to build and someone else will own everything we have today.

Our descendants will hardly know who we are nor will they remember us. How many of us know who is our grandfathers father was?

After we die we will be remembered for few more years and then we're just a potrait on someone wall.

And a few decades later our history, photos and deeds disappear into history oblivion.

We won't even be memories.

Enjoy your life.”

Probably Bitcoin. 😂

Nostr is a decentralized protocol that is not private by default. Kyc or no-KYC has nothing to do with the Nostr protocol. Nostr doesn't come with a VPN, just like the internet.

"Relays know your IP address, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) except for Private Zaps and Private DMs. While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you and your DM counterparty, everyone can see when you and your counterparty DM each other." -Amethyst on Github

There are malicious nodes. Lightning is not private by default, especially if you're running your own node and receiving, sending is more private. By contrast, Monero is private by default.

Nsec can be compromised just like any other password, etc.

What does yours look like? 🫣

REPOST THIS IF YOU’RE BULLISH AF. LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHY YOU’RE BULLISH FOR AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF SATS.

“X viewed your profile” is an incredibly creepy pattern, especially when you can’t turn it off. Engineers and people building apps have accepted surveillance and abandoned privacy so thoughtlessly. They don’t even consider the negative implications of their actions.

“Wow thanks to all our insanely intrusive in-app spying mechanisms we noticed this drives engagement, let’s do more of that” 🤦‍♂️

Imagine walking into a store and there are 50 different cameras pointed at you from all possible directions monitoring your every move, used to collect data on what sells more products based on every action you make. People would be freaked out.

This is effectly what most apps do today, except the cameras are invisible. This would likely be illegal in meatspace, but few think about it when on their phone. Why would they? They hide it from you. Fuck in-app analytics.

Why do we keep re-implementing the p2p/internet alternative and failing to get it right? I'm taking my time at the airport to read about pear, arweave, freenet, gnunet, threefold, 384, i2p, tor, xmpp, p2panda, etc. It seems like the basic problem is not that hard, but it's complex enough that people can have an infinite number of opinions about how to approach it, and because we're all grumpy dissidents here we can't compromise and get along. i2p for example has an awful UI, which could be largely fixed if a single developer put some time into cleaning it up. People have been trying to fix the internet for as long as I've been alive, using many of the same techniques. Why is it not fixed?
