I hate calling doctors so much! I hate the automated systems, I hate having to repeat the same information again and again.

Last time I ended up in redirection loop between different offices and had to escalate. 🤬

The strap goes in the front. Otherwise you currently have it in the "mountaineer" configuration.

Yeah, in the US the effect is much less than in the countries of interest for Russia.

Each of the countries closer to Russia (i.e. where I'm from) has at least one newspaper/online news portal in local language that's directly paid for by the russian agencies.

Often it becomes quickly known that that's the one paid for, but it doesn't matter, they still produce it and some people buy it.

Afaik some countries tried passing laws to prohibit this over the last couple years, but the response is to just add more ownership layers.

For the folks that saw Russian president speak for the first time... It's been always like this since the Soviet Union.

The speeches are always a master lesson in manipulation.

There are 3 truthful facts and then one fact that's a lie, but tricky to refute in one sentence. The words are all used very carefully, they will make you excited or believe the person. He talked "smart" and made a "sick burn" or "cool joke" about the opponent. But please please pay attention, try digging in more. Learn from the past. Check the reality of when people and their cultures become enslaved or eradicated for the "greater good" (I'm not talking about Ukraine).

On top of this keep in mind that the classic Russian geopolitics communication style is to say one thing and do another thing instead. Even if the things are said very clear, the exact opposite is then enacted in reality.

"We very much appreciate your support and we will do our best continuing the partnership" = "we are withdrawing tomorrow"

"There's no need to worry about us attacking, why would we even do that?" = "Attack is imminent"

Etc...

Btw, if you want to see more examples of this masterful manipulation, check rt.com.

3 truths, 1 lie, all words carefully picked to make you feel some way.

Yes and yes

I truly would not recognize Beyonce. Jack for sure, but that lady in the picture could be whoever and I would trust you.

2017 was altcoins & ICOs, 2021 was Defi & NFTs, what is going to be the stupid thing now?

Can it render multimedia? That could be heavier... Otherwise sounds great!

I liked it

Could you please explain this to me like I'm completely stupid? 😃

Let's say there are 5 users that already have solid WOT score. Now 2 of them get hacked and hacker installs and "verifies" an AppX.

Unless the other users get somehow notified of the hack, they will see the AppX as "verified" and may potentially install the app too, no? What would prevent it? Some lower bound limits on how many people are needed to "verify"?

Oh, I'm not the author! I just shared it, because this is a great resource.

The original author was going through some struggles and I'm unfortunately not sure if they are still around.

US & Western countries are trying to exclude multiple countries and all people in them from participating, like Iran, but nostr protocol includes them.

Agreed for common apps that many people use, but the issue can happen for new apps with only couple users, right?

Maybe? Are you thinking that when a new person verifies the app, the verification has to get interactively signed (with multisig) by other people? Or are you thinking co-signing with the store or some verification system paid for co-verifying?

The framework that I like to think in is "desirables vs undesirables":

- If the user action is desirable, the user should be rewarded sats.

- If the users gets value from the content, they should be nudged to voluntarily pay sats for it.

- If the action is undesirable it should cost sats.

Yeah, key rotation is a big missing piece currently

I'm assuming that not all people in your web of trust need to verify the app. So there will be some threshold. E.g. "at least 3 people in your WOT with score over 5 verified app ABC". And then yeah, 2 people could be hacked, especially over longer term. There are definitely ways to mitigate these issues...

This looks surprisingly good when you squint your eyes... 👀
