Exploring technological gifts and their nemesis to shape a post apocalyptic #scienceFiction story, written & illustrated in the open… #artstr #bitcoinostr

🙏 what’s the meaning behind the backgrounds you use?

Why is it important for people to understand nostr’s tech language (protocol, keys, decentralization, censorship-resistance, zaps, v4v…) instead of it being hidden away for ease of use? nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424

Where can people start learning #nostr? #asknostr

Love to see this is happening. IRL conversations based on people’s current interests. nostr:note1j2ly8fcr6gce8j0w0ah7wslh8f2w0kvq97q32msqn5g26a0fg5zqc9p7u3

I’d like #art to reflect the idea that some people do not see what makes technology like #bitcoin and #nostr special, but for those who do, it is something meaningful and empowering.

This design carries keys. Five of them. You will spot four of them easily, but the fifth one… that may be a bit of a surprise. For those who understand the value of owning your keys, and hence your nostr, you will see more than five keys there. You will see why keys matter, and that, cannot be seen with the eyes.

nostr:note13h4zanqz7mltz46etu8x7sj97j30s5ppkae6457k9ul9rv8nwdcs9f5t4u

when people dismiss technology like #nostr or #bitcoin, it's often because they do not see what makes them special.

I’ve personally struggled and have seen people struggle with language all my life. I was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Canada, so that meant being fluent in English and not so fluent in my first language of Cantonese / Chinese. I struggle to communicate properly with my parents in their native language and they sometimes have difficulty communicating in English. I travel a lot to non-English speaking countries and the number of times I’ve had to pull out Google Translate to get through basic tasks like ordering food from a menu and using a washing machine (as recent as yesterday) is uncountable. Similarly, I’ve been learning the Russian language for the past several years, and have had struggles with communicating with people who don’t speak English in that community.

My wife and mother-in-law are Ukrainian, and despite them being fluent in English and their native language, they have their own personal language struggles. With the war in Ukraine, their first language of Russian is being cancelled due to social and geopolitical pressure, and all the Russian language that I’ve learned is quickly becoming irrelevant.

I believe that non-English speakers should learn at least a bit of English as it’s a generally accepted international language and it’ll help them navigate through life, but it’s also unreasonable to expect people to not be able to use basic tools or be shunned from the greater society just because of this language barrier.

Encountering these situations in life myself just reaffirms that we need to build apps in a more accessible, thoughtful way, for the good of humanity.

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s inspiring to hear that. I’m bilingual too, English/Spanish, and I have also noticed the struggles with technology that does not come in people’s native language, even when they have some knowledge of that other language.

I know you have done a lot of work on translation. Do you think that aside from translating or thinking of English as a universal language, we may have another universal language: technological symbols? Is it possible that these symbols are much easier to learn and could make products more accessible even if translations are unavailable?

People may not know the word play, but they recognize the “play” button, or download, send, camera, even emojis. (with some cultural nuances)

I agree that follower counts is only one metric, and I’m glad that it does not hold as much weight on nostr as in platforms. Some clients don’t even display it.

I look forward to the ideas that may come related to our web of trust, so far, that means getting cleaner feeds, and much stronger conversations.

The beauty about #nostr is how it’s discovering and implementing multiple solutions, which we’re already seeing, so it’s not a one size fits all.

What else do you hope to see?

Consider following nostr:npub1qjtnsj6hks7pq7nh3pcyv2gpha5wp6zc8vew9qt9vd2rcpvhsjjqydz44v not for the amount of followers he has, as he gamed that, but for what he reveals about #nostr and what he suggests could be done to strengthen it and in turn our web of trust. #wot

Speaking of interoperability, I’m noticing more notes and profiles I can’t zap, on Damus, including yours. nostr:npub1g5pm4gf8hh7skp2rsnw9h2pvkr32sdnuhkcx9yte7qxmrg6v4txqqudjqv mentioned something about running his own zap server, could that be what’s happening with your notes? nostr:note1nc3t9yc0auw42v5m5pjqzqq97xxv2zd2syjdtxwuasyawz9eluxs3ezs4p

what made you interested in helping make apps more accessible to a global audience nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf ?

as #nostr pushes forward, what kind of features are you hoping for?

what purpose are you hoping they will serve?

what will they incentivize?
