Hilarious that no one on Nostr seems to know that pseudonymity != privacy and yet try to use Nostr being "private" to dunk on anyone who still uses other social media.

You're not going to want to hear this, but Nostr is VERY BAD for privacy, but great for pseudonymity.

For most people, Nostr directly ties their HOME IP ADDRESS to their nym and publishes this correlation to a dozen servers they don't control for all to see.

While being pseudonymous is pretty easy on Nostr, being private requires a good, always-on non-logging VPN, or even better connecting to relays only through Tor at a bare minimum.

True or False: Every atom in your body is billions of years old?

Yeah. Easy to say when you are a dev and know what you are doing.

Sadly, i dont have skill to do this.

this response is a bit out of touch ser/ma'am, baffles me even.. mayb first ask if the person is a dev or not 😗

he's just reporting back his experience, very valuable nostr feedback already imo

I am yet to find a nostr web client that i want to stay on. noStrudel stopped working for me. Primal needs a refresh after each event. snort is very slow and im not sure why.

Longer than we think.

#ProofOfViolence matters, and its practioners always want an index of how profitable we should be to parasitize

Blocks nowadays are just almost 100% spam, like 90% these 294 sat sends. Sad how little actual activity on the network 😞

Plz number go down, just one more time…

Embrace the pump.

Certainly not from a supplier/business perspective. I don't think they know what it is - they know PDF and password protected PDF.

There is a real need for encrypted e-mails but instead we have lots of encrypted PDF attachments

More and more of my accounts are all arriving now with password encrypted PDFs. It's good that an open standard is being used, but the passwords are really getting complicated as some use my ID number, one uses my bond account number, and some others again use their own unique account numbers. Apart from my ID number, the others I have no easy way of remembering, so it means constantly having to look up what the password is for that particular PDF. This gets worse if you are travelling. Also, it means that when saving the PDF to my computer I want it decrypted for ease of access and searching, so it is another step to print to PDF, for that to happen.

Given that the whole point of this is the protection of private information (in South Africa, the POPI Act) this could have been seamlessly achieved with proper encrypted e-mail being used. That would have been a once-off trust to set up, and after that it just works seamlessly and securely.

But, clearly, encrypted e-mail is just way beyond the ordinary business or user... They have been so geared up for using PDF attachments, so now encrypting the PDF was the only easy way to go. I get that encrypted e-mail is a bit of an initial learning curve (unless you use Proton Mail or similar easy to use encrypted e-mail). But think about where all this encrypted PDF stuff is going in the future, and the fact that the rest of the e-mail content is wide open and unencrypted.

Have you ever tried responding to one of the businesses by sending your encrypted PDF form back to them (as it should be)? They don't then always know how to open it on their side, so you need to e-mail the password to them, which defeats the whole exercise.

The other folly I've picked up just today, is I log into a secure portal to download the PDFs that are online in my account, but those are also encrypted with a password! Even my bank has the PDFs unencrypted on the portal, as you've just logged in with a password and 2FA to access the PDF statement.

It's getting messier, and I really do think we should be making the effort in 2024 to move to proper encrypted e-mail. But the reality of it is, that needs every business and every end user to actually be able to use encrypted e-mail. But that would mean also that Microsoft, Google, Apple, the NSA, and other middle-people would not be able to search or read any of those e-mails any more. That is not in Big Tech or Government's own interests.

The realist in me says this is just really not going to happen any time soon. We have the technology, but we'll have to move at the snail's pace of the lowest common denominator in the chain, in order to get there.
