its getting fuzzy again for me with relays and permanent forever files kept on Nostr. I'm seeing relay delete options, and just read a file server opo deletes files once you stop paying. On the other hand, the story is Nostr forever, someone somewhere will always be able to serve up your content. are there different ways of uploading media to nostr so some is permanent and others not so? I'ts late, I don't know, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how a company on Nostr can go out of business but the content somehow is there for someone else to run with... Is it beholden on us to make a copy of every URL? Do I need to run a relay for it to become obvious how it all works?

Anyone else think that to balance privacy and encouragement to zap, the sats totals for a thread or profile page should be number of transactions, not number of sats? #asknostr

looking at an article from 2019 about drop in life expectancy in UK before Covid ever became a thing.

The Correspondent

The biggest story in the UK is not Brexit. It’s life expectancy

Why have mortality rates risen unexpectedly in England and Wales? That should be the question preoccupying the British public. Instead, in a countr...

Prior to 2019, there was a 20 year period of policy that tolerated growing inequality, compounded by austerity started in 2010. A consistent period of compounded lack of care for the old or the poor or the health service. Then Brexit was used as the distraction in 2016. The EU was not on anyone's radar in 2016 UK. This is a classic example of how the media and govt colluded to tell a nation what to think about while they are being hammered from every angle. Old women and babies were dying at greater rates than ever because of politicians' policies, meanwhile politicians were blaming morality rates on the weather.

Something happened yesterday that made me wonder. What if the western elites decided long ago that the way to gain total control over the population was to first let China push the envelope on surveillance and control. Paint them as the bad guys, make us think that the average Chinese person lives like a timid victim of Big Brother, when it's nothing of the sort. But paint that picture. Meanwhile the west are playing the classic moral high ground game of accusing your adversary of exactly what you do behind the scenes! IE the unthinkable is rolling out before our eyes and instead of the opportunity to make America great by focusing on liberty and freedom, they and the rest of the g7 are actually going to out big brother the Chinese and their Brix buddies as they position themselves in a fast evolving multi polar world. That's the thesis for my next novel.

Have you noticed that everybody's phone is set up different? They might all work the same, but there is some quirk or other that cases mayhem when "trying to help". The volume button is where your off button is, things like that.

any #nostrbuild creators have a view on the text to image option, say compared to venice.ai Is it open or like chatgbt... are images watermarked... does it do a good job of interpreting your phrasing? overall, whats the deal with copyrighting of AI generated images, is that still a big issue or is it being addressed? #asknostr Reason for questions is that I really like what Venice.ai is doing, but I don't know much! So if Nostrbuild are doing the same with images, I will go for a creator plan with nostrbuild instead of a basic plan, and send some sats to venice for their help so far!

What am I missing? Primal require you to top up their wallet with details they say won't be shared. Next thing it's a payment via Google and PayPal fields practically already filled in, no other options. Rapidly redrafting instructions for purple pilling newbies. #asknostr

Looks alright.

does this basic graphic make sense? Without privacy there is no open internet of information. To ensure privacy we now have Nostr private communication and Bitcoin private money, and convenient cryptographic tools to interact with the two protocols. The end result is greater productivity and AI is potentially under control, or at least whatever info and data it pumps out has to go through the privacy and proof filters. Something like that!

good old Sketch, a whole back catalogue of versions to download, and they state the OS required to run the latest front page download. That's the way.
