Western capitalism: "Socialism is evil! Communism is evil! Etc!" Western families: Go on holidays with their young children to Viet Nam and Cuba and have a terrific time

i want a list of companies with a trustworthiness index the trustworthiness is regarding "likelihood to betray fellow humans and lifeforms and the ecosystem and planet" Maybe I'll just make this myself. I have been looking for a grapplable project to start myself off on programming. Would be a great community-contributable platform, too. Cos there's no way I'll be able to set indices for every major company!

smokers really arrive somewhere, sit down next to a stranger and start breathing smoke into their airspace yo keep your poison and shitty lungs and sickness and wasted money on healthcare to yourself

so I was looking for zeronet last week and that's what led me to nostr, via someone's recommendation on reddit and yesterday I realised that — at least on the surface — nostr appears to operate fairly similarly to zeronet, it just doesn't need a local web-server-like aspect can any nostr developers confirm this? of course, I could go learn about it, and at some point I probably will cos I am due to get my teeth into programming pretty soon so I might start with a nostr-related project

oh hi I'll get back to all y'all's replies soon! things going on like moving house and other personal issues, brb, afk, ttyl

At 4am this morning I woke up and went to pee and I couldn't finish peeing because I was dreaming about base 12 and so 9+1 (10) no longer felt like the end of a set so each time I got to 9+1 I had to keep counting up to 9+3 (12) but that also didn't feel like the end of a set so I was in this recursive loop of counting again and again trying to get to one of the 10s and anyway this is a story of why you shouldn't learn base 12 (but it's basically the only reason)

fun fact: you can take full ownership of windowsapps folders and delete any apps that keep running in the background using up your ram and network beware: this increases risks with viruses etc so be super careful to not install anything using administrator privileges unless you really trust it i've deleted: clipchamp feedback hub outlook idk, some other things that kept running my computer is MY computer, thanks very much microsoft

When you show someone your creative works and they say "why do that?" and it sounds like they don't have a clue about being creative for pleasure These poor souls

Just been fighting a virus/malware situation on my computer. I went to post some comments on VirusTotal but my long comment explaining how to handle it was rejected, maybe it was too long. I've posted it on my gitbook website. (Yeah I know I know, it's regular server-based internet) "Fighting MaleficAms.C and Quasar.GG!MTB // 30th January 2025" https://farranddroid-tech.gitbook.io/farranddroid-tech-support/internet-safety/viruses-and-how-to-fight-them/maleficams-and-quasar

Is there really no firewall software that blocks everything by default and pops up to ask you for permission each time a new app tries to connect outbound for the first time?

ok I'm looking for some software that automatically force-expires all session tokens for all logged-in accounts on my computer. Malicious cracked software that steals session tokens is becoming increasingly common. Does this exist? Can it be programmed? Can a session token be identified as active or expired? ((Yes, I do steal Adobe's and others' software. No, most creative workers around the world cannot afford their ridiculous licensing fees.))

Just opened Nostr and found a bunch of chill replies from a bunch of chill people. Heartwarming, not a feeling I've felt from social media in... Years..since the g+ days actually. Could be because the stuff I post on social media is not marketable, dopaminergic or otherwise algorithm-satiating, so my meaningful posts never gain any reach. Anyhoo, here it is nearly 2am so I'm off to sleep, GN Nostr (and Threads) 🥰 will read and reply to you all tomorrow — in the Lunar New Year! 😴💤

Chúc mừng năm mới mọi người! 🏮🧧🎇

How do I connect my existing Nostr ID to my Alby account? It seems that it just creates a new Nostr ID and I can't find any way to add this Nostr ID to it. Seems somewhat useless if that's the case...

I have a degree in biological sciences, with a focus on ecosystem science and genetics. I'm here for us to discuss real ways of rebuilding the world regarding our dependence on electricity, sources of energy generation, our dependence on plastic, alternatives to plastics (for reducing plastic waste and also reducing oil requirements), and stuff like that. environmentalism, ecosystem defence & protection, integration with nature, stuff like this. I'm aware that the reality of this goes directly against the oil companies and most governments. I want to find, connect with, and create a group (or groups), for focussed development of solutions for our climate problem. We will do research projects like: data research; meta reviews (reviewing & comparing other research articles); primary research; multi-region research. We will do other projects like: data analysis; data visualisation (thinking about tools like Microsoft Fabric, and maybe animation like Blender/etc). We'll also have a focus on how to gather more people, how to train people to be scientific in mentality and approach, how to create articles and media that attracts people and educates people regarding sustainable practices and sustainable alterations to the fabric of our current civilisation. We need to replace things like fossil fuels and plastic, and we need to stop destroying all the natural habitats and forests.

So we can crosspost from OpenVibe app, to Nostr, Threads, Blue sky and Mastodon at the same time! Tres cool

Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication, but I've been busy with other things and have only just discovered Nostr. I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology. I'm looking forward to connecting with other likeminded folk on here. It already feels great to be able to post here in the knowledge that this data is not inside Meta (etc) and cannot be controlled, suppressed or banned by them.

Just finding out about the whole nostr etc networks now. Been looking for this kind of thing for a while but not many things had much traction... Now may be a better time because of the recent tiktok events in the USA, people are realising what's up and are looking for alternatives. Imagine if we get a sizeable majority using decentralised, uncensorable social networking.
