I still can't comprehend that humans are flying to space and at the same time there are these medieval dominance structures and millions of people still think they're a good idea. Stay strong in Persia! ❤️

The EU has an ad campaign for democracy. That’s the biggest lol ever. Free science = you can freely research anything the grant committee approves. But you’d better not publish certain statistics. Freedom of speech = evil Elon Musk doesn’t want to delete what we tell him to. So, a fine. Watch out for "harmful" websites—we’ll shut them down for you, so you can express yourselves freely. And then, please pay with your taxes for ads telling you how incredibly free you are.

Tamers of Entropy/ Krotitelia entropie launch Maybe you have noticed the strangeness of the world we live in is increasing. We can constantly play catch-up and try to make sense of it, which we should do to some extent, especially with technology that will affect us all. But for most things, walking a parallel path has both better outcomes and we can make better sense of what we create. This is what the characters of my new novel Tamers of Entropy do (available now for preorder in English original, and Czech and Slovak translations - both paperback and audiobook). Tamers of Entropy has a wide range of topics: hacking, identity, bureaucracy, parallel market structures, consciousness, mind and their expansion. And a few very interesting themes. It is a story happening over three decades, and it was written over three decades, but it is very current. I use the characters as guides. I often ask questions such as "What would Satoshi do?". It works even better with characters of the story. Each of them is unique in a different way, not supernatural. The genre is documentary sci-fi, hacker story, but it changes during the book to something I won't spoil. It is a lunarpunk story. I hope you enjoy it. Practicalities: Two versions: - Paperback: €24.99 - Premium: €49.99 during preorder, €59.99 after. Paperback + USB stick with the audiobook and extra materials + an "open after reading" envelope.

Humanity, post AI.

This is great UX 😀 Also KYC services should do this.

Why we launched @Tamers of Entropy on Nostr, some thoughts about identity, multiple Nostr accounts, why characters of the novel post here and a tool to make it possible. View article →

What good is a social network or protocol without a lot of users? First a personal flip to this question. I was on mailing lists, usenet, irc, silc, kyberia, facebook, ... Everytime it became too crowded, I left. Not with a statement, rarely it was even a decision. I did not even burn any bridges and I don't think anything bad about people who stayed. I just stopped going, because the noise (and sometimes drama) was too much compared to the signal. I'm not an introvert, but in this regard something similar - otrovert. I like interactions, I don't get group rituals. So what good is a social network without numbers to back up reach? I used to work for a web portal of a TV station. I think one of the worst investments there is is buying a lot of reach. Maybe if you sell mass market shampoo or junkfood, it makes sense. For every other case, you want limited reach. Limited to people who want to hear from you. They might or might not know that they want to hear from you, but the second it feels you intruded their attention, you lost a good customer. And that's true regardless if they buy from you or don't. There's an aftertaste of force. People often hate the practice of marketing, but I realize it's because they were exposed to so much junk. It's like saying you hate Chinese food because you only went to shitty restaurants and got food poisoning. Go to a five star Chinese restaurant. I get it, the shitty marketing way outnumbers nice, honest marketing that you want to hear. So what good is a social network without reach? You want to reach the right people. Those that want to hear from you. Of course small doesn't mean it's the right fit. Promoting scammy shitcoins or junkfood on Nostr won't work, we don't care. But the story is more complex than numbers. And personally - I'd rather not read bullshit with breaking as the first word. And "this changes everything". I wish there was more content that I'm interested in. But this also has a flipside. A lot of content that I'm interested in is just not on other networks.

So the Americans turned off Open Evidence for Europe over the weekend. It's an AI tool for doctors that will digitize global healthcare before Czech hospitals stop using floppy disks. If our doctors want to keep using it, they're apparently supposed to write to their European MP.I'll never understand what kind of "good" was going through the heads of officials and politicians in Brussels when they pushed Europe to the periphery of the world with their stupid regulations. The future is in technology, whether they like it or not. In Europe, technologies aren't being created — and soon they won't even be allowed to be used. And that's solely and exclusively because of the stubbornness of a few hundred people in Brussels. No voters ever asked for GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act, or any other similarly insane rules. They just decided to do good.I'm just wondering what I should tell my kids to study. My daughter will probably end up giving tours of Gothic castles, and my son will sell VPNs. And when they get bored, they'll just switch places. (Reposted from Czech original)

What times we live in... Wow View quoted note →

Greatest moment on the mesh yesterday. Yes, it was very lively during the day on bitchat, but it ended up being me and @mariannasadecka on the mesh while she was singing (with 4xSuper) and I was sending her photos of her singing (photo that I meshed @No Good Kid ). Two people being massaged on the stage. @Bitcoin je retro was the most Lunarpunk thing that I ever experienced in my life.
