The quote i use at the end is something i stand by, but i also think it’s why i think we need a diverse ecosystem based on a protocol for social media. It let’s me run clients and relays with different rules from the ones you want to run. If you don’t like my app, or relay, or communities, then you’re empowered to choose others. But if we have a single unified corporate platform then everybody will play the refs and game the system. There’s no win for free speech in that situation.

Looks like they’re running some AI agent to try and match foreign students to social media accounts. If the US State department doesn’t like the politics of the posts the visa is being revoked. The thing is everyone in the US is protected by the constitution, not just citizens. So this is overturning fundamental rights to free speech and due process.
There is no way for these students to contest this. Many people don’t put their full name on social media, often people have the same name. So not only will this violate students first and fifth amendment protections, it will likely be applied to students who simply share the same name or are confused with other students who expressed a political view the government doesn’t like.
If this program continues it means that no foreign student in the US is safe from arbitrary deportation. All it takes is someone making a bot pretending to be that student making posts the administration doesn’t like. Since there is no process by which the student can even demonstrate the account is fake!

I believe we need some fundamental rights on any social media platform or protocol we use.
The rights are:
1. Privacy & Security
2. Ownership
3. Interoperability
4. Algorithmic Control
5. Self-Governance
I’ve created a little website to campaign for these rights at https://rights.social.

they don’t appear to actually have relationships with many registries, there’s only a couple dozen top level domains you can buy with 1984.is unfortunately.

yeah CF can be complicated but honestly i much prefer using CF for stuff than Google Cloud / AWS / Azure / Digital Ocean.
I’ve used 1984.is for hosting in the past, i forgot they also run a registar. They’re probably the most ethical.

2025-03-30 07:47:54

Anybody got a good ethical domain name registrar? I’ve been using Gandi.net since it was founded 25 years ago, but it got acquired by your.online in 2023. For a while nothing much changed except for they tried to upsell me to some stuff i didn’t want.
But now i’m noticing that they’re getting noticeably less reliable. Updating name and nameserver records isn’t reliable, paying for things fails more often, their web interface has bugs. Basically they’re letting gandi die as they try and upsell people to their crap Total Webhosting Solutions stuff.
So, what ethical registrars are there?

I had an interesting conversation at a friend’s birthday party with a few folks who were professionals but had been unemployed and looking for work for a while. I pointed out that with AI rapidly improving, many of the jobs that have been cut likely aren’t coming back.
They dismissed AI entirely as just a cheap imitation. Their experience was limited to trying ChatGPT over a year ago and seeing some clumsy early attempts by the New Zealand government to use AI. For them, that was enough evidence to label the whole field as an overhyped, short-lived scam.
It shocked me because, from my perspective, AI has been advancing incredibly quickly. I use these tools regularly in my work, and with a bit of focus on learning them properly, these emerging large language models (LLMs) are truly transformational. On top of that, innovation is accelerating rapidly, making AI both smarter and more accessible.
I’m not sure if we’ll reach AGI or ASI anytime soon, but it’s clear to me that society and our economy will be fundamentally transformed by AI.
This conversation reminded me just how much of a bubble technologists can live in. We see AI’s potential clearly and understand how quickly things can spread once they reach a tipping point. But most people probably won’t believe this transformation is real until it’s already underway. Instead of traditional economic institutions adapting their ways of working to integrate AI, we’ll likely see new institutions and methods emerge to replace the legacy systems entirely.
I’m genuinely concerned about how our economy will cope with the decoupling of work from primary economic systems. And when I think about how to spend my time while waiting for even more powerful AI tools—beyond just experimenting in my own work—I’m uncertain. Part of the answer seems to be designing new systems from the ground up around AI, and also continuing to tell people that AI isn’t just a passing trend.
This situation isn’t fundamentally different from what happened with Web 2.0 platforms like Twitter. The core human needs remained the same, but new technologies changed how we fulfilled those needs. Twitter didn’t replace our desire to stay connected with friends; it just made it faster and broadened our definition of who could be a “friend.”
So, looking forward, I think we need to ask ourselves: what would an AI-native version of everything we currently use look like? Most people and institutions won’t adapt—they’ll more likely be replaced. Does that mean we should just rush headlong into replacing everything with AI-driven alternatives?

Why do you care how other people feel about or express their gender? There was a time when heels, dresses, makeup, and pink were considered exclusively things for men. Now we think of them as very feminine and some people get upset when men reclaim that history and present themselves that way.
But like why do you care? Nobody’s telling you what to wear or how to behave. In reality nobody really cares what you feel about it. The reason queer people have pride marches is that we want to live our lives in peace without fear of violence, with the ability to take care of our families, and work based on our ability without prejudice based on who we love or what we wear outside of work?
More to the point, when civil rights are attacked it starts with marginalized people first but rarely stops there. Today it is the 8 trans women who participate in youth support. But it can easily be anyone who doesn’t express vocal loyalty to the leader.

The state of US politics is disturbing. Trump is going after people in a cruel and vindictive way that authoritarians do when they think they’re invincible. Yet the Democrats, especially Chuck Schumer can’t figure out what to do about it. They’re not even a loyal opposition. Instead they’re standing on the sidelines watching the American system of separation of powers get replaced with a unitary power of the executive. Despite this being the fundamental justification of legitimacy for the while government.
I recommend folks read this essay by @npub1fdp…cay5 calling on Schumer to resign. It’s compelling argument.

It was fun to watch, i was worried they’d portray Jack as the villain but the didn’t seem to do that, in this episode at least. And yeah, Ev… I’ll let others tell that story, just pointing out that he did the same thing at Blogger, Twitter, and Medium.
Ok, I’ve tried really hard to be polite and nice about it, but i will say something, Ev promised us that our stock options would be honored then did an asset sale that effectively left the early employees and angel investors with nothing. Sometime around a decade after twitter launched, i got a check for $1200… pretty shit for stock options which were on paper worth 1.4% of the company. That was 100% Ev’s doing.

Some punch it. Women tend to poke it in the butt. Some want to dance with it. One guy got on the ground and crawled between its legs.
I think it’s the weird way a stuffed animal looking cat becomes big and real. It’s 2.6 meters (8ft) tall. Lots of people thought it was robot or “AI” and didn’t believe that I as a person was inside.

I suspect the censorship stuff is just a RAG and i bet within a few days somebody will have released a version with that undone.
And to be fair, every released version of an LLM model weights file by american companies has LOTS of censorship too… it’s jut not about things the communist party of china cares about.

You know, the cloud hosted official deepseek was pretty fast up until their R1 model caused the tech stock market to crash and made international news… Thankfully tomorrow my new 64gb ram / 20 gpu M4pro mac mini arrives so i’ll be able to just run it locally.

Anybody build anything using @npub12xy…99cx’s nostr-auth-middleware system?
https://www.humanjava.com/nostr-a-better-future-for-authentication/
It seems interesting as an option for making auth a lot simpler for some nostr use cases.

i think the logistics and flow around this stuff will be the most important thing to solve around these new nip29 groups and apps.
Another thing i was looking at is you’ve got code for kind 1 events in a room/group under the hood, but it doesn’t look like there’s UI for it… is that right?
I’ve got a fork of nostr-hooks with kind 1 support for groups, which i’ve been noodling on to get kind 1 event support in to groups… but it’s not quite working.

Look at that, you can run Deepseek R-1 in your browser… not connect to some remote server running it… you can run it locally!

Sure, it’s slow and not the biggest R1 model, but as a proof of concept, it’s amazing.

I’ve got a draft of a post asking questions about nip-46. When i provide an app the bunker url they’re able to then sign content on my behalf with the bunker without my ability to revoke access. I don’t see where bunker’s provide an audit log of which apps are using the bunker, lettting me see what they’ve done and revoke them. I can do this when i use oauth to authorize apps on github or twitter.
There doesn’t appear to be a round trip process for authorizing requests. I think nsec.app does but as far as i can tell the new nstart.njump.me stuff just kind of has you jump through all of these hoops with random nsecrypto strings which aren’t explained, FROST servers, etc… only to give you a bunker url to copy around, which provides no more security for a normal user than asking them to share their nsec…..
I just don’t get it. What’s the point of all this security and layers of confusion. I mean to a user, what’s the difference between pasting around an nsec string and bunker:// string? Both provide irrevocable permanent access to everything you’ve got on nostr and to do anything on your behalf.
With your thing @npub1yau…vjmf it kind of goes the other way, make the user jump through a whole series of 2fa auth steps for each and every action they want to do on Nostr. Are either of these better than an auth server provided by google/microsoft/okta/apple where you oauth in to apps?
If you ask users too many security questions, they just hit the ok button until the popups go away. If you make a system that has unrevokable access then that’s in every way worse than a custodial auth system. I don’t see how the bunker system is better than a server that holds nostr keys, lets the client apps login via normal web login using oauth, and then lets the user see what apps are authorized so they can track which actions were done by what app and remove the authorization token.

It’s really not though. A good UX would be to oauth to a server that does signing or which provides an expiring sharded key which works for the session.
Users don’t want to approve actions for nostr keys the way they handle wallet signatures because it’s a thousands of times a day thing and not a dozen times a week thing

Nostr supports delete as a core and fundamental part of the protocol. You can also pre-schedule the deletes with expiration tags. I’m not sure why people keep hallucinating how Nostr works.
Also even if Nostr didn’t support delete it wouldn’t stop these kinds of hacks / scams. Instead it would make them worse.
The reality is Nostr has a bigger hacked / highjacked account issue than centralized platforms because once the key is leaked there is no recovery mechanism.

Yes but I’m too lazy to do all that when a link works.

@npub12a7…rdyd yep. That would work. Or use the login to access the frost sharded bunker with the ability to exit.

@npub1ren…aw97 evento.so is pretty slick actually. They’re going to support Nostr?
