I’ve seen so many people say they won’t use Nostr because we don’t support delete. This is really frustrating, because Nostr DOES support delete, it’s right there in the NIP’s! We’ve got delete in nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch, but most apps don’t expose the functionality to users because they either don’t like the idea of delete or can’t be sure that something is 100% deleted. That misses the point, delete is as much about social signaling as it is about getting rid of the content.

Here’s my argument for how we should think about and support delete in nostr. In case your client doesn’t support long form content, here’s the njump link: https://njump.me/naddr1qq2ksje3g9trxujpxymyxjjlg5ckjmmrtguyxq3qpu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqxpqqqp65wk06e7u nostr:note1hldm4z430w76dn2ywzwjnafytnvyt7gsg6nhk3l8a3x8utzl88asl06u8m

It's not that we don't support delete, its that we support accountability.

I eat what I enjoy, meat, grains veggies. My diet is very balanced, self awareness and learning to recognize it is my best advice

Not with that attitude, just keep it running and see what it do

Or learn to recognize process and be self aware of emotions. I have depression and it fucking sucks when it really kicks in. But even though I'll spend a few days being absolutely miserable I'm aware of what it is. Being aware the negative thoughts aren't true and finding ways to cope work wonders.

Could really go for a 25% dip in btc per fiat, no fud just kicking myself for having wasted time on shitcoins the whole time btc was 25k and lower.

YOU LEAVE JACK BURTON ALONE!

Just in: Multiple NOSTR relays being targeted by US DOD forces. Reasoning behind strikes is they have compromising information about a former President

Your Phone Is Not Listening to You: The tech myth has pervaded all corners of society, but its origins show it was never true to begin with

The myth has taken off so much in the last eight years because it feels like it could be true. You do get hyper-targeted ads on Facebook and Google, but it’s not because your phone is listening to you.

You may be typing your thoughts into your phone more than you realize. Yes, you talked about booking a trip to Hawaii, but did you also briefly Google how much flights cost? Did you ask Siri what the best hikes in Maui were? Did you text search on Instagram for beautiful restaurants inside a volcano? That information is sold to advertisers, and you probably tell your phone more than you think.

There’s a bounty of evidence that advertisers can use your search queries, social media usage, and cookies to build a superbly accurate picture of you. That information is tracked by advertisers, so they don’t need your microphone.

However, researchers from Northeastern University tackled this myth in 2018 and found it’s a complete bust. They tested Facebook, Instagram, and over 17,000 other apps, and the researcher found zero instances of an app unexpectedly activating your microphone and sending audio out when not prompted to do so.

So, whilst we know from the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal what does actually happen, the fact is there is still zero evidence about microphones being used to listen to all conversations. We'd like to believe it, so the myth does not get stopped. I also fell for this when it was "factually" stated that the advertiser had said it was happening and the webpage was then changed. But it seems now that the webpage never said that at all in the first place.

This sort of thing just makes people more paranoid for no reason. It's why I always like to have any dissent backed up with some concrete report or evidence. IT is too easy to troll and disagree without reason, but such an argument has zero weight at all.

It's semantics but fine the phone isn't "listening' its monitoring you

I stand by the opinion that many bitcoin companies and educators are missing out on the marketing that is Direct Mail.

Yes actual paper mail that is targeted to specific demographics.

As an account manager who handles mailing accounts for financial advisors across the country I've seen the millions of dollars that get moved into different financial assets, wills & trusts etc. If the mail didn't work they wouldn't keep doing it.

With companies now offering #bitcoin versions of traditional financial instruments it would not be a far stretch to host seminars explaining "What Bitcoin can do for you"

It all depends on how these companies can make money from the transition. Want to increase awareness and adoption this is my idea.

So right to privacy suddenly matters when the topic is campaign funding. That's weird

"Princes and sovereign states have frequently fancied that they had a temporary interest to diminish the quantity of pure metal contained in their coins; but they seldom have fancied that they had any to augment it. The quantity of metal contained in the coins, I believe of all nations, has accordingly been almost continually diminishing, and hardly ever augmenting."

Glad to know nothing has changed since the birth of economic philosophy.

And in other news, NPR had a segment this afternoon explaining how MBS are a great investment vehicle and the market for these assets are what allow you to lock in that low interest rate.

Did someone turn the clock back to 2001?
