sounds interesting. I dunno how feasible it is programmatically. might be tricky, probably worthwhile to try.

just when you think it can't get stupider, in waljs Fani or her "ex" boy toy.

$iPhones still exist?

cringe greedy government. Signal is not formerly colonized. he's English through and through. more back room handshakes and greed. not engaged with reality. and a fail Party that has tanked even further since he took over.

it's too bad. I thought he might be different but he's a UK Tory through and through.

so nice to know that I made the right decision to ignore Reddit once it copped out to $greed$... and $AI$

(with all due respect here is my response)

I don't think human beings can be reduced to percentages. I also don't think privacy means not being social.

I protect all facets of my privacy and at the same time I am totally social.

Using a VPN, encrypted services (email, text), and staying away from apps that are built to scrape and sell data rather than their apparent use (TEMU is a good example of this. It has been estimated that they lose 30 percent off each sale but they make bank on scraping phones for data and selling it) in no way inhibits my social life.

PS Internet "social" isn't real. Social human interactions are in person. Anything else is less real. A phone call lacks facial expressions, a video call misses the mark because there's no real human face to face presence, a text message is way too open to speculation and misunderstanding.

I'm out in the world talking to people: at the store, in a café, at a museum, at a market, at the gym, on a hike, in an art class.

A "life" online is an illusion.

honestly and imo the perceived difficulty in accessing nostr works in its favour. I and my husband been online since before most people knew what the internet was. people like to call the early days the wild west... it wasn't. the early days were when the internet was essentially inaccessible to idiots and people were intelligent enough to not believe BS as well as intelligent enough to discuss rather than insult. probably a little blunt to say it like that however I've watched the internet become worse and worse the more of the general (and stupid) public got access over the years. prime time US shows are elementary school level writing and plots for a reason. 🤣

child porn yuck.

but even 'normal' porn, I think what is required is not censorship. what we need is law to force all porn to a top level domain of .porn and for children's devices to not be able to access that top level domain.

I'm not sure that "most will" is accurate. I think that "some will, some won't" is probably closer to the truth.

(my take)

in the end, the idea that everyone is going to want to hear everyone else's words, etc. is nothing more than a pie in the sky idea. free speech is free speech and at the same time, I don't have to agree, believe or listen if I don't want to. freedom is free, completely.
