I'm watching a commercial during halftime for the "first privacy smartphone." I'm sitting there like, what?? It turns out it's just some crappy Samsung phone with a different display so nobody can look over your shoulder in the elevator and read your WhatsApp messages. So basically privacy from the dude standing next to you, that's it.

I knew the guy who was running that website as the head sysop back then. It was the biggest site during the World Cup 2006. The amount of traffic it had to handle broke every record up to that point, and the sysops had to come up with new tricks every single day just to keep it from crashing.
Three years later he moved to Berlin and joined the company where I was working, and he told me all the stories. Super cool, sitting over coffee and smoking a cig while 30% of our company’s employees were getting fired. We had to stay outside that whole day so we wouldn’t have to deal with the drama, so we just went to a café. 🙂

I don't care, what ODELL or others do, but that excuse reminds me of a classic pattern. "No akhi, I'm just chatting with her every night to do dawah". 😬

Deleting notes on Nostr isn’t reliable, that’s for sure. If you can’t get rid of a note everywhere, it’s mostly the relay’s fault that doesn’t follow the spec precisely. Still, a client can do everything right and send those delete requests to as many relays as possible.
#NoorNote sends delete requests to over 1400 relays now. There’s also a bulk delete add-on if you want to wipe more at once.
It’s already on the web, other platforms coming in the next release.
Jumu'ah mubarak!


Test passed. ✅

The evil internet again. Just ban legacy social media outright. Across the board. Then you'll see an improvement in overall public health.
Oh, and stop printing money too. So both parents don't have to work just to get by, assuming there are still 2 parents in a household, and so they're not constantly stressed cause it's still not enough for a living. Instead they could actually spend more time taking care of their kids.

She's not wrong here. You’ve got to have principles and actually stick to them.

That's so stupid. In a few years, people will only use their phones for the absolute basics and do everything else on a cheap $300 Linux laptop.

Yeah, the addon list has gotten pretty long. And not everyone uses all of them. You can now drag your favorite ones around to reorder them and move them up to your favorite positions. (long-press in mobile phones)
