The temperature in the shade here in the Napa Valley is 38⁰C (101⁰F) But the radiant heat from our driveway is an astounding 67⁰C (152⁰F) That's the temperature for a medium-well done steak! image

Today was my 10 year work anniversary! A big thank you to my colleagues who surprised me today with a celebration and a card. There were cupcakes decorated with cartoon versions of me, a "how well do you know Éamonn" trivia game, and all kinds of lovely comments in the card (which was of course actually a Google Slides deck). There is a lot of cynicism about tech in the air these days, but I can truly say that the community of people here that have gravitated together to work on the important user-facing areas of trust, safety, and privacy is a community that really cares about doing the right thing for the people that use our products. And they do that in the face of incredible complexity of both the engineering systems and of the regulatory and policy environment. I feel humbled and privileged to work with such amazing people.

So, what are the implication of European privacy regulation on Nostr? Any relay which has any clients connecting to it from the EU is subject to GDPR One that seems problematic is GDPR's right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). As I understand it Nostr cannot really delete posts image

Trying out nostr. Seems very crypto-y. Are folks here going to be tolerant of a crypto skeptic like me?
