After deploying the Babelfish [1] machine translation engine at AtlaVista in the 1990s, Henry has been working on Decentralised social Networks since 2004 at Sun Microsystems when he took up foaf, contributing to the Atom Syntax syndication format, WebID Authentication, then in 201x worked on Linked Data Protocol, Social Linked Data Platform (Solid), and now is working on Access Control. He read philosophy, spent three years immersed in [2] Category Theory towards a Solid Phd, and earns a living programming in #Scala. He will also talk to you about the #WebOfNations.

How should people refer to me using the NIP-05 address?

- @henry@bblfish.net

- henry@bblfish.net

I now have a verified name linked to my domain name, so that I can now

be identified by henry@bblfish.net. As I understand this would help

in case I loose control of my keys somehow.

I followed the instructions here

https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified

It was actually quite easy, as I just need to add this file to

my web server

https://bblfish.net/.well-known/nostr.json

The result on #primal looks like this:

It is difficult to tell from that code diff if X-Twitter is blocking #nostr, since

1. "nostr" is not a url

2. there are many nostr urls

They blocked Mastodon urls so they could block nostr ones too of course.

I did find blue to give quite a few interesting benefits and on the whole it improved since Musk took over, but I did get throttled 3 times even while paying for Blue...

Working on #w3c web standards is like herding cats.

The only thing that helps is working code and #webcats

#ietf.

To get Mathematicians intersted in using #nostr you need to make #Math Markdown Available on the platform and displayable in #nostrclients.

This was what made me choose gitlab a few years ago over github for the #webcats forum. https://web-cats.gitlab.io

Math Markdown is why mathematicians are happily chatting on https://categorytheory.zulipchat.com and it was the first thing they added support to for https://mathstodon.xyz .

Unicode can go some way ∀m: Man ∃w: Woman Loves(m,w) but not all the way.

Of course I think markdown would be quite helpful for normal posts too. Hey Twitter has bold, italic, bullets, and stuff like that now...

Should have added a #nostrclient tag to the Post below.

Huzzah! Installed nostr:npub1plstrz6dhu8q4fq0e4rjpxe2fxe5x87y2w6xpm70gh9qh5tt66kqkgkx8j and ditched Amethyst. A much nicer UI and overall experience. Glad to support Plebstr since I looooved Tweetoshi (RIP). 😢 #nostrclient #stackingsats #bitcoinisfreedom

I think I sent your post 3 zaps (3 = 1 + 2) because I thought the first one I mistakenly downzapped.

Just trying @Plebstr which displays posts well, but It only shows 4 of my 12 followers.

Each of these apps does some things well and other messes up with other things.

It is still a bit difficult to understand what is going on. Is it the app or is it my relays that are not working?

#nostrclient

I started listening to that #techwontsaveus podcast

"The Right is Building Its Own Platforms w/ Jacob Silverman" [1]

but it seems Jacob Silverman lives in a political bubble that forgets or ignores that the Democrats were pushing vaccine scepticism during the Trump presidency. See this video for proof:

https://twitter.com/MrNukemCocaine/status/1422928462428446726

Of course, they would try to downplay Operation #WarpSpeed before the election as the vaccine was presented as the miracle answer to all problems, the Eucharist that would bring the US All together and risk. They felt that not being sceptical would risk them losing the election.

But then to so blatantly push the opposite story when in power, to the point of mandating vaccines and then argue that anybody who is a sceptic is an extreme right-winger is just an astounding lack of self-awareness.

So both sides have taken positions that are those of #RFKJr when it suited them. And even the notion of Operation Warp Speed proves nostr:npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp's point: the vaccine was put together much too quickly for real testing to take place - certainly no testing on the consequences of the vaccine beyond what was visible in 3 months. The testing took place on millions of people's live.

The other side is always evil, even when it says the same thing as oneself just 3 months earlier. That is schizoid behaviour.

earlier.

Unclear

So I guess that means that #Nostr UIs should have a write mode that saves Toots to a local cache, and asks you to think about it before posting. (A bit like what Twitter does now). I always find spelling mistakes or other minor errors in my tweets...

As a recent user here is some feedback from using nostr - without having yet read the protocol details - here are some unfiltered opinions:

1. having many apps on the same data is very good (This is similar to the #SolidPlatform philosophy)

2. It definitely feels a lot more censorship resistant than Mastodon, which is less open than Twitter now! (I see "it feels more" because I don't understand the protocol yet) My recent posts explain that in detail the Mastodon problem nostr:nevent1qqsxkvlfrxa3m2fgu7880qhlv3ujew0drj8ftgxsq4sempl3ut797zcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxd46zuamf0ghxy6t69uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc6cnkn2

3. It is a bit confusing for the moment still

a. Initially I found very few posts on the platform. I had to find out how to open the social network graph much wider

b. Even after posting quite a lot, I found the social interaction is quite dampened for some reason.

c. That may be because some people are posting from other platforms such as Mastodon, so they don't perhaps see the responses given? UIs may need to make that clearer.

d. I am using 4 Browser based UIs that have different advantages and disadvantages, and I find I have to use them all one after another to make sure things are as one shows them to be on the others.

e. I would need a NIP-07 browser plugin that keeps a log of signings, and where I can change preferences. (perhaps that exists). Otherwise how do I know if one App is not just deleting all my Posts? NIP-07 is essential for security.

f. The Mastodon proxy I think creates a key for the toots on Mastodon. So it created a key pair to do that. How does one take over that key, so that the Mastodon intermediary does not end up with the ring that rules them all?

I was not expecting to see this:

Very interesting interview on Jimmy Dore's show.

I need to do something to distinguish me on #Mastodon and me on #Nostr.

Ah I see there are posts on your #Mastodon account here:

https://mas.to/@kissane/110798472726958576

but the reply that I posted to your post above from the w3c.social server here: https://w3c.social/@bblfish/110826493888539718

does not appear in the replies to your mas.to Toot above. Perhaps it will with time...

Oh, I see you need to accept my follow request first perhaps, before my replies appear on your wallk. One of those Mastodon complexities that are a bit confusing sometimes. j

Comme tu viens de partir en Vacances, ca peut prendre un peu de temps...
