Does anyone know if there's a NIP for read receipts for notifications. When I open each of my clients I have to dismiss each notification individually. I feel like we could create read receipts by encrypting the event with the public key and sending it to a private relay used for drafts and other bits. @@set:// 𓁣 🏴 probably I feel like you might know this.

Yay \o/ We love the UK Government 🥳🥳🥳

I’m by no standard a fan of AI generated content but this is too accurate not to call attention to. View quoted note →

Thoughts on Australia including GitHub in the list of platforms to treat like social media (requiring regulation, age restrictions and ID). Can you imagine “Hello emergency services, my child has a merge conflict” xD Who is getting groomed on GitHub? Who is getting addicted to GitHub 🤣🤣 Banning GitHub is like banning a library. It’s complicated by the fact that although GitHub was acquired by Microsoft in 2018, it kept its CEO and remained mostly separate with the exception of a few CoPilot tools. With GitHub’s CEO resigning and everything moving towards Microsoft and digital ID, I worry about the centralisation of open source software. Most of the code we know would cease to exist if GitHub suddenly went down. Unless you went and tracked down every person with a local copy on their machine (basically the dev team). It’s a scary reality and we need to fight it!!

So given the current state of the UK, I’m looking at moving. If this digital ID goes through then there’s no doubt I will be gone. The easiest places to go to are places that offer a working holiday visa. This allows me to stay there for 2 years and then you can simply extend it. Australia is a great candidate but unfortunately they’re quite right-wing, full of facial recognition and state surveillance and they’re even trying to require ID to use GitHub now. I know!! GitHub 🤯 Canada is my next best choice but they still require biometrics (including all ten fingerprints) for foreigners staying longer than six months. The place is gorgeous though and there’s plenty of outdoors for me to explore, rock climb and kayak through. Any suggestions??

There’s quite a few of these alternative social media platforms being advertised on mainstream social media, ironically. This one reminded me of Nostr a little. It’s clear that the public wants to break free from social media and move onto something without an algorithm that’s not feeding you propaganda constantly. It’s interesting to see how they’re pushing the “verifiable” claims though, whatever that means. I’m not in the slightest part interested in their platform but I think it serves as an important reminder that Nostr could work for the general public and they ARE interested, we just need to streamline the user experience a little to remove the barrier to entry and then shout about it.

It's always Samsung with the exploding tech isn't it 😂😂 View quoted note →

Another reason to be using Nostr, PeerTube and the like. Now imagine all these checks with the UK governments new digital ID system!! View quoted note →

@inpc looks like I might well be watching the Kali Mera Show at 5pm from Pyongyang 😂 *disclaimer this isn't a real news article, it's a meme

This suddenly showed up after the 666's charge cycle...gulp xD

Here's a video my friend Nic made. Please listen! #no2id #privacy #surveillance #digitalfreedom #nostr #unitedkingdom #freedom

Here's a great PDF by Big Brother Watch. Everybody in the UK should read this. Well cited, factual information that covers everything you could want to know about the dangers of digital ID and what you can do about it. I for one will be saying no to digital ID!! This must end now https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Checkpoint-Britain.pdf #privacy #digitalid #uk bigbrothetwatch #surveillance

Nostr users earn more than Spotify artists! The average Nostr post earns 128 times more than the average Spotify stream!!!! At the time of writing the average Zap amount over the last six months (without excluding anomalies) is ~462. This number comes from the total of sats from zaps (2,541,481,971) divided by the amount of zaps (5,498,398). Spotify pays between 0.003 and 0.005 USD per stream. Taking the average of 0.004 USD per stream and 1 sat equating to 0.0011 USD at the time of writing we can multiply 462 by 0.0011 to get approximately 51 cents, which is 128 times how much you'd get per stream on Spotify!! *statistics sourced from https://stats.nostr.band/stats_api?method=stats&options=full Disclaimer please read in full: Quite frankly I've found some figures that suit my agenda and thus I think my statistic is just as accurate as any you'll see in the news or from government. Although this is based on real figures, they are raw averages and this is a very very simple calculation. This is by no means a very accurate representation of what the average Nostr user would actually receive per post. The method doesn't consider anomalies which will spike averages, bot accounts or anything else. It's merely an amusing statistic that I backs up the very probable truth that you'd earn more as an artist on Nostr than you would on Spotify.

This is so incredibly insightful and provides a great way to embrace the chaos around us. Definitely worth a watch.
