Old behaviour... Plato's hatred of democracy led him, according to Popper, "to the defense of lies, political miracles, tabooistic superstition, the suppression of truth, and ultimately brutal violence." Popper believes that Plato's historicizing ideas were driven by the fear of change that liberal democracies bring with them.

New EU Vaccine Passport Raises Concerns Over Data Privacy and Control

Starting September 1, 2024, Germany will launch a pilot for the new EU Vaccine Passport as part of a broader initiative called "European Vaccination Beyond Covid-19" (Euvabeco). This initiative, set to roll out across the European Union by 2026, will not only document vaccinations but also integrate personal health data, effectively placing citizens' private information at the fingertips of state and institutional powers.

The EU claims this project will empower citizens, but the reality suggests otherwise. Under the guise of public health, the European Union is trampling on individual freedoms, further tightening its grip on the personal lives of its citizens. This move, aligned with the World Economic Forum's broader agenda, leaves little room for dissent. Any semblance of opposition is muted, as most political forces either comply or turn a blind eye, leaving the path wide open for a future of total surveillance and control.

Despite this radical shift toward centralized authority, public consultation was minimal and controlled, highlighting the EU’s disregard for genuine democratic engagement. The quiet rollout of this program signals a disturbing trend—one where personal freedom is sacrificed on the altar of "public good" with little to no resistance.

As Europe heads down this path of digital health tyranny, the erosion of privacy and autonomy becomes inevitable. The window to resist this overreach is closing fast, and without a significant pushback, the infrastructure of total control will soon be fully operational.

This is something I wish I knew about development with nostr ... These errors in the front end. I can only assume I'm either getting blocked from connecting from the remote servers all at once, or from my end, but don't have a clue how to resolve that

My pattern causing this is essentially ...

import {RelayPool} from 'nostr-relaypool';

const localpool = new RelayPool();

localpool.subscribe(...)

with localpool.close(); when done.

This is called periodically (currently 15 seconds). I've yet to figure out how to setup the logic to open the subscription, poll for new events, and stay open waiting for new ones and do reconnects and resubscribes if it gets disconnected.

Surely there has to be a way to talk to relays that doesn't connect/disconnect over and over.

First person to guess my favourite author gets 5000 sats

On Twitter, there's a GIF library I can look up for memes in-app, and post them. Sometimes I use it, and sometimes I don't.

As a memer, Twitter is easier than Nostr thus far. On Nostr, I have to be more conscious about it, and always upload an image or video. More friction.

MORE CLIENTS SHOULD SUPPORT DISPOSABLE NPUBS. AMETHYST IS LEADING THE WAY HERE. WOULD BE THE SINGLE BIGGEST PRIVACY WIN FOR ONLINE SPEECH ACROSS THE BOARD.

NORMALIZE SINGLE USE DISPOSABLE IDENTITIES. AS THE REST OF THE INTERNET MOVES TOWARD LINKING EVERY ACTION TO LEGAL IDENTITIES, NOSTR REPRESENTS A BRIGHTER PATH.
