It’s too pornographic for the school board meeting. But they want to force feed it to your kids. Make it make sense.

Crocodiles are one of the oldest living species on Earth, dating back to the Late Cretaceous period, about 94 million years ago. They are the closest living relatives of birds, and they have survived several mass extinctions that wiped out many other animals. Some branches though did not survive, such as the various vegetarian crocodiles discovered by scientists recently. NYTimes article:

Crocodiles Went Through a Vegetarian Phase, Too (Published 2019)

Ancestors of modern crocodiles evolved to survive on a plant diet at least three times, researchers say.

Here is a process I am using to link up with people I know on #Mastodon from #Nostr. 1. I followed my Mastodon #mostr clone account on #nostr. 2. I also followed the #nostr account on #mastodon 3. When I see some post I like on #Mastodon I retweet it (retoot?), and then I can usually see it from #nostr. 4. I then follow the #Mastodon account via their #mostr handle 5. and perhaps repost that Toot here on #nostr, so that they can get a bit of visibility here too. So now I post things that are potentially controversial on #nostr and leave the politically correct stuff on #mastodon. (The smallest deviation from the norm there leads to a visit from the thought police).

Intelligent and deep discussion starting from Ontario's Ruling on Jordan Peterson's need to undergo social media Training. This is weird because he is one of the most popular social media figures and has given psychology a hugely positive reputation. So, what is psychology? https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=m_ykwBgWkKsN5U_N&v=-OL5q_uWudU&feature=youtu.be

I have been working on the #w3c Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0 by translating the #JsonLD to #N3.\nMy major suggestion is: any graph that is signed must be in a node, i.e. it must be a quoted graph - or else how would one know what was signed? This is what a #VC Presentation should look like: See the discussion here:

signatures should be on quoted graphs · Issue #1248 · w3c/vc-data-model

In issue 204 on the N3 CG, I tried to translate 2 VC model examples. This revealed a few minor errors and some deeper conceptual problems, which ar...

This video just got removed from my tik tok for violating community guidelines but I literally didn't say a word 😭😂

I have been using the AI-enhanced Warp Terminal written in #Rust for 9 months now. I like it: it is fast, looks good, and the #AI is very useful when I can’t remember what command to run. Of course, over time, I put together a list of HOWTOs for this, and I know my way around #Unix. But for newbies, it could be a huge timesaver. It is what I thought I would get when I first used a terminal in 1980. (I thought I could ask the computer to solve the Rubik’s cube too). But then I found that one had to read through man pages to learn to use a command. It is also the first terminal I have encountered with a marketing team. If you download it with this referral, I might get a T-shirt, which I could use on these hot summer days :-)

@Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr has an interesting Twitter thread on the #GOPDebate and "Rich Men North of Richmond.”

Can I wire a markdown post? It seems so on #damus 1.6 View quoted note →

So somehow I tried to add to my #markdown post did not work. Does someone know how one should do that in the post? Or perhaps #yakihonne needs to add a tagging function at the end of the post the way LinkedIn does it. Here are the tags I tried to use: #scala #Mastodon #nostr #rdf #semweb #math #mathematicians #crypto

I found the perfect picture to illustrate my logical take on #W3C Verifiable Presentations

A few months ago there was the First Conference on the Philosophy of #ConspiracyTheory, attended by Prof. Catarina Dutilh Novaes. I am looking forward to the papers being published... just the titles are pretty interesting.... I will use this thread to point to interesting thoughts on that topic. View quoted note →

Ok so here is an idea for #nostrclients on how to display #narings [1] filters by social network. It is really important to know what the social network graph through which one saw a post, so that one can see if some one of the people one is following is is linking to spammers. So when showing a #naring it would be good to show the shortest link to that node as a small (linear) graph. [1] #naring and #Narings was an idea by #chatGPT for a name for #nostr posts View quoted note →

Idea from #ChatGPT: call #nostr posts #naring. I searched the web and found that næring is Old Swedish for Food.

Wiktionary

næring - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

This was ChatGPT’s argument "Posts on the Nostr social network could be called "Narings." The term "Narings" is derived from combining "Nostr" with "sharing," reflecting the concept of sharing posts on the Nostr network while incorporating the unique branding of the platform. Additionally, given the emphasis on decentralization and the use of private keys to sign posts, "Narings" also conveys the idea of securely and openly communicating, which aligns with the philosophy of the Nostr network. Feel free to use or adapt this suggestion as you see fit for your social network branding!”
