Computers would probably have less rights than animals, and they would enjoy presumption of innocence. Means you cannot cut electricity to a computer unless you have evidence of its wrongdoing.

I deleted my Paypal account 1 or 2 years ago, after 17 years. One door closes, another door opens. Trust your ability to learn and discover new things. BTW I also regularly close bank accounts after a few years nowadays. Banks are friendliest in the early times of your relationship with them, I found. 😂

Would be ironic if a Chinese tourist who forgot to clean his phone would be jailed in the US for bringing this dangerous app into the country. Reminds me of ... the Soviet Union, actually.

„For example, in the case of a mitigation measure that bars the importation of TikTok into the U.S., it authorizes penalties, including 25 years of prison time, for any person who brings TikTok into the U.S., whether by use of a VPN or downloading it while in another country.“

I think the (AI-driven?) booking systems are still normalizing. Totally different pricing given in different countries (for same flight), return ticket can be cheaper than one-way, ticket in 3 weeks dramatically cheaper than next week, and so on. I have been able to find good deals.

If Bill Gates would be a Chinese citizen, he would long live in exile like Jack Ma. A free society means constant struggle, and is in danger of losing the prerequisites that made it free in the beginning. Bill Gates near infinite money and his lust for more money, power, monopolies is a grave danger to freedom. The US military should never depend on Bill Gates.

2023-04-10 17:00:33 UTC

Lots of factual mistakes. Gates didn't "go against IBM", his well connected mom was friends with the IBM CEO and asked him to help her son. Gates is dangerous but a free society cannot accept the Jack Ma solution. Philantropist, ha ha... Cool video ❤️

Why ship at all? I live in my immediate environment. I want products and services that are nearby me, and I pay in crypto, of course. Don't care about "IP".

I don't like the whole "hide IP" angle. Why is that small tech detail highlighted as much? Another Silk Road...? I believe in locality of services, p2p. Goodness is so close.

Hey I just submitted my first new "place" via Organic Maps (just a Starbucks). Not reviewed yet. I believe a lot in locality of services, wish there was an "accepts crypto" though...

OK i tried Organic Maps for a day and so far I like it! Feels better than OsmAnd which I used before but stopped using. For Organic Maps: Is there some way to find crypto accepting businesses?

2023-03-31 09:12:26 UTC

OK I went a different route. After some comparing I bought a Google Pixel 6a for about 300 EUR then installed LineageOS (of course without Google apps). So far it works 😀

Yes but Session is buggy and messages are delivered unreliably or disappearing. I tested it extensively and moved on.

I did, via getalby.com, but confused. So I have a wallet now, and my nostr private key is also the private key for my getalby wallet?
My first getalby.com wallet didn't have a lud16 address and I couldn't figure out how to add one, so I deleted that and created a new one with lud16/email address...
Oh boy. If you like feel free to send me 1 satoshi, please :)
I guess if this zapping thing works I need to fund my getalby wallet with a few more sats.

I can only offer general commentary. To me this doesn't read like content-addressed-media, it reads like media relaying since it doesn't address longevity of storage. Or does it?
For the choice of infohash (sha1) - why not sha256?
We can expect to live in a world of deep fakes soon, so I would also consider pgp signatures instead of pure integrity hashing.
The syncthing community may offer clues into operational aspects of a data relay network (relays.syncthing.net).
I looked up some sizes of large data centers today:
Library of Congress - 3 PB
github - 18 PB
Internet Archive - 100 PB
Youtube - 300 PB
My most substantive feedback is to consider PGP signatures and integrate that with nostr keys. Hope you find it helpful, Cheers 😀

How long of a long form does this tech allow?
I just watched day 1 of Nostrica and my thoughts are:
- Do we need better discussion, or better search? I love citizen journalism, but I'd rather live in a world where I delegate trust to writers and journalists and accept that one writer needs many readers (ideally millions) to have an impact, to be worth reading. Influence of presumed influence is real, I'm happy to be humble.
- I cannot warm up to the love of donations and hostility towards advertisement. Which world is more corrupt and untrue - the world of donations, or the world of advertisement? I want to learn more about advertisement.
This will be read by.... 😂 Noone ❤️ Let's see how far we can take Nostr...

Rooting for technology even when it is harmful to humanity, is a form of nihilism. We need to take all these depressed programmers and send them to Florence on a retreat with analog tech only. So that they remember that life is worth living and humanity is worth protecting. h/t @meghaverma_art on Twitter ❤️
