Whatever you think about the commit in question, an underlying issue seems to be that no project will every be completely free if it relies on GitHub or other similar gatekeeper who can set arbitrary ToS and ban you View quoted note →

I used to think single people who talked about their “fur babies” were being silly and fun. Call me crazy but I’m now inclined to believe this is a majorly detrimental neuroticism and not as innocent as I once believed. Most Men and women should be rising to the historical challenge and celebrating their raising of the next generation of humans

It is frustratingly difficult to securely move a file from an untrusted computer (somewhere I don’t want to enter an account password) to a more trusted personally owned device. PrivateBin shows some promise

Instance Directory - Welcome!

#SimpleX is amazing but I am not a fan that despite all its technical wins it does not yet: 1) offer more emoji reaction options 2) show you who reacted with what emoji (I understand the privacy implications/importance in public-oriented groups but in private-oriented groups this would be useful context)

Most people just want their tyrant in charge 😔

Maybe I’m a psychopathic ideologue but I’m keen to the idea of destroying the private keys to my bitcoin before turning it over to the state if they were to attempt an unlawful and immoral seizure. I unfortunately don’t have that much but as far as I’m able I’ll endeavor that it never gets turned over to the state in an immoral seizure. I am prepared to watch this ship go down. I don’t know if it will ever come to that (hope it won’t!) but good to consider the worst case scenarios and brace oneself in advance as well as preparing for whatever possible contingency scenarios you can think of

Claiming that suddenly stopping extortion would hurt the economy seems like a quintessential broken window fallacy! Almost so dumb you’d need a PhD in economics to believe it 🙄 https://mises.org/mises-wire/broken-window

The concept behind apps like Fountain is great. Can finally have an outlet to articulate objections when they say something dumb.

Your ‘smart’ TV is cheap because it’s costing you your privacy, you dummy. At least consider not feeding the beast with your wifi password 😶

I donate a little bit every month towards Signal Messenger yet I often get into unsolvable captcha loops and can’t send messages. Something is fundamentally broken in how spam reduction is being implemented

Wish we could use zap escrow to stop #nostr #spam: For example: Set a relay or client to only accept replies with 21 sats in escrow. If marked spam by the person they are replied to, the relay operator and/or user keep the sats. If not, they are returned to the sender. (False reports are naturally limited as people won’t reply to people who keep falsely reporting spam) All voluntary, no cost for non-spammers, etc Would be better than VPN blocks, @jb55

I am very thankful for my #nostr friends. No matter what happens next, It’s a great time to be here. 🫂

I trust this will ultimately make Nostr stronger but still mildly annoying.

#afuera should be your rallying cry 😇🤣 View quoted note →
