Ooh… that’s… ooh
Just a bit outside of my skill-level, and yet not far from my understanding.

Interesting take on a #crypto wallet... But sounds like a #privacy nightmare
“We think the wallet is the new cookie,” said Mathieu. “It’s gonna be embedded in all the brand’s websites, connecting your wallet. That’s a new data layer.”

Interesting take indeed. And somehow doesn’t feel all that divorced from Salesforce’s way of thinking about product-funnels 🤔
That would really be great… self-hosting for one’s own verification. Gets me thinking of an experimental idea from some time back 😏
Avanceé Reads for 24 Feb 23 🔗
Such a beautiful day in the DC metro. Escaped for a 🚴🏾♂️ in the afternoon that turned into taking a meeting while riding… ahhhh
Sign of a spring coming too soon, maybe. But also needed sun moments for so many of us.
Publishing Avanceé Reads at the end of the week… does it make sense to do so here? Y’all into those “shared notable reads of the week” thing?
Yep, not sure what’s up. But added #[1] to other device and now I can get zaps.
Cool… gosh I need to tie all of these things together
Now that was… weird.
Can now revive zaps though.
Onward and forward
Yea… the end was really cool
Once getting the Lightning and zaps but squared away, really need to pick up the pace with a few adjacent identity projects. There’s a few ideas I need to work thru in scribble and silicon
Nope, not just you. Just getting a spinning “generating lightning network invoice” and the items at top of the screen (Lighting, Bitcoin, and Lightning Address) are all inactive “buttons.”
Figure there might be a bit in terms of connectivity which could be causing it. Am a tick patient in waiting to see if an app update solves this. A tick.
A pice of what nostr feels like reminds of when I (finally) got the Nokia N800 and ran headfirst into “what should mobile evolve into.”
Lots of hype. A few really hopeful guesses and experiments. Some guidance. And many lessons learned.
Similar feelings is all.
Other bit about this, my nostr travels don’t yet have the diversity of connections that Twitter (and formerly Google Reader) had for such digests or conversations. It’s to this point where “nostr replaces Twitter” loses relevance for me. The amount of topics and regions in Twitter is wider and deeper than many might experience or expect. Within some spaces twitter’s connections can be replaced, but as a whole, it’s “global town hall” effect is hard for a newer serivce to match unless doing something friction-lessened than Twitter.
Each week, I post a collection of links or reads which caught the eye. The collection is an export of the board (Muse is the app) where these are collected and scribbled into. After it’s posted (to Avanceé’s MicroBlog), that’s something which automatically hits Twitter & LinkedIn… it would be interesting to see an eventual nostr integration of this. I think at some level, such an integration shouldn’t be just a “link push,” but also take advantage of some of the inherent qualities of nostr 🤔💭
I need to replace my ebike.. but man isn’t the CHPT3.4 tempting https://www.brompton.com/bikes/special-editions/chpt3
Matsapulina’s case is hardly an isolated one, though it is especially unsettling. Over the past year, numerous dissidents across Russia have found their Telegram accounts seemingly monitored or compromised. Hundreds have had their Telegram activity wielded against them in criminal cases. Perhaps most disturbingly, some activists have found their “secret chats”—Telegram’s purportedly ironclad, end-to-end encrypted feature—behaving strangely, in ways that suggest an unwelcome third party might be eavesdropping.
These cases have set off a swirl of conspiracy theories, paranoia, and speculation among dissidents, whose trust in Telegram has plummeted. In many cases, it’s impossible to tell what’s really happening to people’s accounts—whether spyware or Kremlin informants have been used to break in, through no particular fault of the company; whether Telegram really is cooperating with Moscow; or whether it’s such an inherently unsafe platform that the latter is merely what appears to be going on.

One part unsettling, another part relief…
There’s always a wonder about who and what gets monitored, and that article showed some,of the direct and indirect methods.
A decade plus ago someone said something along the lines of “one should assume they are being surveilled or manipulated if they aren’t doing it themselves.” Kinda sticks with you in hearing it like that.
Played with another client yesterday… didn’t seem my posts went thru.
Checking it up to learning on one part… the fragility of relays between different nostr clients on another part
Memories of the age before Twitter here… not quite AIM/MSN/etc, but also not quite as focused/small as Jaiku
So interesting the spiral that is time’s reflection
