haha you could say that! i just find that if i’m going for scratching curiosity itch, i’d much rather read some history or something, rather than aggregate myself with news.
Awesome work as always my friend!
Outside of tech news, I’ve been focused on only getting news that fits both of these criteria:
1) Is a primary source
2) Is news that’s actionable to me in some way
What makes news actionable you ask? Personally, I determine that by asking if that particular news can inform me for circumstances like:
- Making a financial/purchase decision
- Making a voting decision for an election
- Making a decision regarding my health/fitness
Things like that. I find that the vast majority of news isn’t actionable at all, and *at best* is just storytelling to scratch people’s curiosity itch.
At worst, it does nothing but manipulate/instill fear/misinform.
Imagine telling someone in the 90s-00s that in the near future, Toyota would be saying this about an American carmaker. Gotta give credit to Tesla for getting this far

“freedom of speech doesn’t mean we have to listen”
I’m going to use that every time some whiney bonehead yells “censorship!” when users want to filter what they see in their feeds.

Wow, I had no idea that even the northeast US got that much more sun than most of Europe.
Because if you meant keychain, all that does is make signing in more convenient because it recognizes your private key as a password and saves it for auto fill.
Using keychain to then auto fill your nsec into the app is the same as inputting the nsec yourself, just automated. Zero difference security wise.
As long as the app is open source and the nsec is only stored locally on your phone, that’s way better than directly putting your nsec in a web client, because browsers aren’t as secure and can be leaked.
Do you mean Passkey? https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/sign-in-with-passkeys-iphf538ea8d0/ios

Wow, this automated relay list has 1200+ relays! Love to see the relay list growing so rapidly
https://github.com/sesseor/nostr-relays-list/blob/main/relays.txt
Awesome!
the problem is that if a million people are tagged and they all start replying, it seems i need to block all of them to stop getting notifications, no?

Hey nostr client devs, might be time to prioritize "unsubscribe from note notifications" functionality. Those of us getting tagged in garbage troll posts like this are having our notifications blown up

One way (which I know not everyone agrees with me on) is to have the Nostr equivalent of Mastodon's "instance federation" system.
In other words, for all relays who chose to do so, they would sync with every other known relay using relay software that supports that, like strfry.
This way, no matter which relay a user connects to, as long as that relay uses this functionality, they'll have good coverage of the posts of the users they follow.
If most relays do this, then it'll be possible for clients to intelligently pick which relays they connect to based on evenly distributing the load across relays, and they won't have to worry about missing out on events.
Probably not far off, yeah. That’s why it would be beneficial to continue to make both relays and clients smarter until relays can be used as interchangeable dumb pipes, without taking a hit on coverage of content.
Ah that’s clever, def going to experiment with rbr.bio later.
There’s so much potential for this kind of “indexing” service to greatly improve the nostr experience for casual non-technical users.
