They romanticize it as propaganda. Truth is the federal governments formes were about power, enforcement, and money. The vaguery used to try to legitimize it. Few people signed on to this nonsense

2024-11-02 17:38:56

The phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people" isnt enshrined in the constitution.
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution known as the Bill of Rights weren't added until 1791.

Agreed.
Nostr has lists, but few clients fully support them. So far that is limited to Nostrudel and Gossip.
I still have an open bounty for list support to be added to Amethyst. If I had an iOS device Id offer a bounty for Damus as well, tbough its less likely to implement.
For now I manage my lists in Gossip, and can at least filter views in Amethyst based on them. This is far superior to simple follow lists and a long term goal of mine is to abolish kind 3 in favor of static lists and kind 81 relationships for dynamic lists. Being able to filter using someone elses curated list would also be great
On the trend side, that's best served by good DVMs doing analytics and clients improving how they are integrated.

I missed a doorbell ring (volume low to avoid freaking out doggo) for two ladies.
4 uncostumed teenage boys (about 13-15 in age) showed up later and got candy boxes.

This is a hackathon project at #tabconf. Users with a nostr pubkey and browser extension can vote on pepe images. You decide which you like better and it makes a vote before presenting two more images to repeat the process. The leaderboard shows the overall crowd-voted preference at the top to least liked at the bottom.
While this is a sampling of Pepe images to demo with, we forsee being able to use this to crowdsource voting for meme contests, artist photos, puff puff paint, and more.

Designed for developers.
Sometimes its handy to have preconfigured images for development and testing. Personally, I like docker for this.
Should not necessarily use them for production though.

Today is October 20. We are 6 months post #Bitcoin halving. Compared to past cycles, this is the approximate time (give or take a month) that Bitcoin transitions to the next phase. Fiat valuation has settled out the pump for the ETFs from a year ago and are back on track. The average cost to mine a Bitcoin is still higher from current values offering an effective discount to those with fiat they want to sell. Good chane the weekly candle closes higher than 68000 USDs in a few more hours as the weekend has held strong.
vs USDs
1D +0.59%
5D +2.35%

Is anyone working on a project to...
1) Mobile nostr client (e.g. Amethyst, Damus, Amber) to start
2) Import/Export private key/nsec to a NFC card (even simply stored clear text)
This still uses the native mobile apps for signing, but is creating some form of physical backup.
Now take this further, and yes you could incorporate nfc card readers for desktop and browser... how about cards preinitialized?
Yes, the creator will have those keys as well, but there are real world use cases where this is warranted. Organizations with key issuance and escrow comes to mind.
I know there's all kinds of pros and cons to unencrypted storage like this, ability to copy etc, Im just curious what, if any, projects are exploring naive approaches like this, easier to mass rollout vs actual physical signing devices.
My gut thinks this is wasteful, and that the real solution for custodial masses will simply be the same old custodial control we've had in the past. Im just not sure if global focus should be on identity issuance, self identity, self signing, or full sovereignty

The first book was such a good series of thought experiments and solutions, showing various positive and negative stances and desires by mankind. The way people latch onto beliefs, give up or take on a different perspective. I havent read scifi this thought provoking since works like the Time Machine and Ender's Game.

I just completed my first read of the book Three Body Problem, written by Cixin Liu, translated to English by Ken Liu.
https://i.nostr.build/gVP85xWRR5nsyivA.jpg
Very entertaining scifi with philosophical considerations. There's also a great episodic video series made by Tencent available on Amazon. I recommend skipping the butchered Netflix version.
Next up in the series is The Dark Forest. Im excited to see where this saga goes.

If your internet has a high latency (common with dialup, dsl, satellite, long routes), then symptoms can present as follows...
- sounds like a robot voice cutting in and out
- when talking, periodic disconnect (microphone turns red/disabled)
If you are on wifi, consider getting closer to the wifi router, or changing the channel used if in a congested area. If you are using VPN, attempt a different connection point. Most users are in the United States at this time so the closer to that the better possible performance.
If you can report the browser used, its version, plugins inatalled and platform (android? ios? windows?) that can help for tracking purposes.
