i have to admit, bluesky has been the biggest disappointment. i was looking forward to it even before i knew nostr existed, joining its wishlist a full year before it launched. and now? the same 4 people who built the protocol also built its flagship client & are hosting the entire thing on their server. if those 4 decided to take a break, the so-called "protocol" would vanish overnight. seriously, what was the point of all this?

elon was never about free speech. with him and the paypal mafia running the admin, we're on the brink of the most advanced censorship campaign ever. they have the tools, the expertise, and the insiders to pull it off. this is exactly why nostr matters more than ever.

when it comes to primal, i don’t personally have an issue with their approach as long as they remain transparent, which they are. they’ve even open-sourced their caching server. as long as they never take my keys to the server, i’m okay with it. i believe they’re genuinely trying to deliver the best possible user experience, and i respect that. i sincerely hope they succeed along with other clients. also, no, it’s not a silo, it’s a river & we've a ocean ahead!

Nostr, BlueSky, and Twitter takeover all kicked off around the same time, promising free speech. But here's where we stand: BlueSky? A censorship disaster-worse than Facebook and Tumblr combined. X (Twitter)? Musk's "free speech" pledge? It's in total shambles. If you still believe in it, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Only Nostr has stayed true to its mission. It's the last real free speech alternative. If that's what brought you here, congrats-you made the right choice.

media pushes bluesky and threads as alternatives, not nostr, mainly because we're not controlled opposition, we're truly free.

only nostr fixes this

On Nostr, you're free to speak your mind-no takedowns, no demonetization, no strings attached. No other social media platform or protocol offers this kind of freedom. We're the real deal, the only one of its kind.

mass legal immigration, in its current structure, doesn’t seem sustainable in the long run, it’s essentially a dead end. for developing nations, it's basically a relentless brain drain. the very individuals crucial to their country’s progress are encouraged to leave for developed nations, where their potential impact is diluted. developed nations, on the other hand, have their own challenges: disadvantaged groups, minorities, and whole younger generations who deserve greater focus, a better standard of living. everything shouldn’t revolve around some imaginary race for acceleration. i genuinely hope skilled professionals in underdeveloped countries choose to stay and contribute to their nation’s development. with today’s technology, sharing knowledge and expertise globally is easier than ever. you can stay in your home country, build it & still make a worldwide impact.

Merry Christmas 🎄

it's completely over for openai. in the past two weeks, google has completely taken over this llm/generative ai space. now they've got the best llm, flash 2.0, the cheapest capable flash 8b, the best video generation model veo 2, and today they even launched "thinking" model with an open chain of thought. this all happened in under a week. it's completely over for openai.

it's the building, what i really like the most.
