Godspeed, sir. Check out 2-3 year old ThinkPad Carbon X1s. Great bang for the buck, and most run Linux nicely.

All a matter of perspective. Over the past year I moved from 20+ years on Macs and iPhone to Linux on a Framework and GrapheneOS on a Pixel. It's a process, but to me, it's well worth it.

Nice. I've been curious about any potential conflicts with Gnome, which is my current setup.

Fresh install or no?

Moreover, the use of "safety" is a red flag, guaranteed.

MIT continues to work to advance retail CBDCs. Disappointing, to put it mildly. They proudly note this collaboration with Canada's central bank in their latest Digital Currency Initiative newsletter.

UK speed-running into dystopia. Absolutely wild.

You and me both, friend.

That last bit. ☠️

Tin pot tyranicals are accelerating the splinternet with KYC, while AI slop floods every part of it.

Then there's nostr. And mesh. And web-of-trust. And Bitcoin — the back channels and connective tissue among those of us who care to employ them.

The harder they push, the more innovative we become. Bullish.

You are a machine!

I'd back that.

Outstanding. It's the kvantum bit I'd never quite sorted.

In my experience, once you've used a VPN (mine is always-on), even if you disable it, it becomes a gauntlet. Absurd.

"YouTube will notify users if it determines they are under 18, but if the platform gets it wrong, users can verify their age by uploading a government ID, taking a selfie, or entering a credit card."

Notes and other stuff (including faxes) transmitted by relays.

The difference, I should note, is that of it being homegrown versus imposed by another country. Pride, alone, should compel American bureaucrats to push back against other nations' long arms.

But wait, there's more. If the US apparatus doesn't push back on this, and hard, it will tell us a great deal about where they stand.

The US' ability to resist the same slide into tyranny hinges on the degree to which our Constitution can endure, or suffers death by a thousand cuts, reduced to a quaint artifact.

If it comes to the latter, yes, we're cooked.

I'm still hopeful.

gm, good people. ☕

Fucking legends.

JFC, man. Dark mode.

Chatter on nostr today would indicate a potential balkanization of nostr relays and related services, due to the hassle of complying with or fear of the penalties from failing to comply with the UK's Orwellian Online Safety Act.

If this happens, nostr, in part, breaks for UK users. Not the protocol or the fundamentals, but many experiences will. And the rest of us lose by losing UK users.

Two opportunities present themselves which I hope we capitalize on:

1. For nostr builders to double down on and stress test the decentralization of relays and ancillary services, like media hosting (e.g. blossom). And for more nostr users to dig in, do the work, and self-host.

2. For UK users to circumvent, refuse to comply, and find ways to either opt out or get out. Godspeed.

Imagine classrooms.

Example:

I bought soap from nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7ctvvahjuat50phjummwv5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qpqzzmxvr9sw49lhzfx236aweurt8h5tmzjw7x3gfsazlgd8j64ql0sx6f08g. It's great. It's one thing for me to say it's great. It's another for me to sign a note that can be verified (I'm lose on the details here) by soapminer as being from a real customer.

Enough of these collected, and you end up with a product view that shows all those in my wot who've also bought and "trust" the product. Binary trust or don't, recommend or don't, or a 5-star thing. I don't know.

A nostr wot-based review site for products sold by companies with npubs. Amazon's Verified Purchase, but using wot to dampen scamminess.

Is it out there?

As I understand it, ASOP used to maintain publicly accessible repos *during* development. Now they cook in private, then publish the source code with releases.
