I’m so used to charge zapping people on jumblekat that it feels odd not being able to do it in other clients 🫠

We need a separate tab for highlights 😂 or a separate kind

It would be too much info to moderate and sort through. You need some way to know which version is more reliable without having to rely on your very limited and likely uninformed web of trust.

Yes. I think the solution is quite simple: you are your own moderator, and you need to carefully decide which sources deserve your attention and energy. If someone is unable to consciously support this, for example a child, access to information must be mediated, by humans, not technology. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8wetnw3jhymnzw33jucm0d5hsqg9s69lxvazyuz3hhk04nrr38gd94d50wgmkutaucanxpj7nrlc5pqs83c9e

Have you ever been asked for your laptop password at airport security? Is this a thing? I was traveling domestically in Japan and security asked for laptop password. This obviously set off red flags immediately, especially considering I didn’t have a laptop with me. If I did, I would’ve denied them access without question but it’s strange that they even asked me. It wasn’t even customs… just regular ol’ security screening. Also, looking around, I didn’t see any manual inspections of any other laptops around me. It’s as if I was singled out.

I definitely don’t see reading or even replying as any form of relationship. Follow is very different to me and does not signal trust of any kind. I can follow just to see what a person is about without ever trusting them. Contacts sounds like we keep in touch and I added them to be in touch. But that’s not really why I follow - they haven’t earned the right to be a contact.

For me reading someone writings, replying, reacting, zapping is a form of relationship. And we don't have only social clients, we have many other, often hybrid, apps. The most used Nostr apps have DMs along the social feed.

Meh. They are not our contacts though. That implies some sort of dm relationship and that’s not what’s happening.

It's apparently a not so important issue, probably already discussed, but: what do you think if your client switched from the "Follows" label to the "Contacts" label? "Contacts" seems more immediate, also for not English speakers, it removes the follows/following possible confusing overlap, and especially it opens to a more interoperable scenarios (DMs, "other stuff" use cases, etc). I don't see any particular drawbacks. What do you think? #asknostr

Whether we want to admit it or not, the name bitchat played a huge role in making the app more interesting. Had it been named decentralized mesh app - no one would care. Just goes to show how important it is to position and brand.

NIP96 does not prescribe how I serve the media (endpoint to be specific) and allows me to make a more reliable service with a clear separation of concerns. In blossom I am forced to accept uploads and serve media from the same exact hostname, therefore forcing me to make trade-offs that hurt speed or availability.

I got it, thanks. Btw it seems that Blossom is getting more traction than nip96, isn't? Why do you prefer nip96?

The standard (and recommended) way is nip96, blossom protocol in our case is just an addon and it gives you a link that will redirect to the original media

Oh, image.nostr.build is not Blossom? Now I see that blossom.nostr.build exists.

That’s not how it works, only Blossom, not the standard one.

nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 this image has the wrong hash in the url: It should be e63f8c6dbe7423b2d5cf62a0b5b64b556bac5234ad501ea295742d5cda4717e4

Oh man this is exciting!

it's the best model for coding & math stuff. nothing else even comes close!

3.7 new?! Oooo

just spent hours coding with claude 3.7 sonnet, here is what I have to say

Hello Nostr, if you are in a great mood just skip this post; its depressing. So I had not encountered it before, but yesterday I crossed paths with Child Sexual Abuse Material on Nostr. In my regular internet usage over the years I have rarely come across this stuff, though I guess if I were to look for it I would find it eventually; That is to say, the status quo is that it does exist, but most people most of the time wont have to deal with it. I think this is important to realize that the world is not perfect as it is, when reflecting on these matters in the context of Nostr. It goes without saying, but just to be clear: yes I think we should all learn how to tie nooses and identify adequate oak trees. However marginalized CSAM is, some people want governments to go above and beyond to combat it. Prime example currently is the ‘Chat control’ regulation proposed out of the EU, which wants to install bigbrother client side on your phone to scan every single thing you do in order to flag any suspicious behavior/content, before it gets encrypted. How understandable the motivation might be, even advocacy groups and agencies dealing with the CSAM problem are against this type of stuff, if not just simply because they are already swamped with work/processing of material as it is; opening the floodgates with false positives wont help anything and probably make the situation worse. Aside from the obvious objections to forcibly installing big brother on peoples hardware of course. Back to Nostr. On the one hand we have the end-user, that does not want to get confronted by this material. From this perspective, CSAM is just one of the many things a user might want to filter out, along with other material that might not be illegal per se but just NSFW etc. Whatever means we find to do this, failure by those mechanisms to do so is bad, unwanted etc. but not a direct systemic risk to Nostr; like I mentioned in the beginning, it is not impossible to accidentally come across this type of stuff on the internet today as is, and the whole world is still using it. But it does become a systemic issue from the relay perspective. Here, it is not some incidental bad experience that can be clicked away. It is a crime to host this type of material which brings in the risk of prosecution for ‘simply running a relay’ that some asshole decided to nuke with CSAM or other illegal material. But here my optimism comes in. Nostr is pro censorship; the theory is that every relay can moderate to their hearts content, because users are ultimately always able to route around such obstacles (very much like ‘the internet’ itself). This means that that relays should be able to adjust their policies and methods of moderation to their capacity to deal with unwanted content and risk appetite. From a locked down white-list only relay on one side of the spectrum, all the way to an open relay with heavy sophisticated analytics for assessment and filtering, and everything in between: albeit that it wont deliver us a perfect solution in all cases, it will remove the dark cloud of systemic risk to the protocol/network, because we are able to sufficiently marginalize the phenomena. On a last note: when talking about filtering/assessing for this content it gets complicated really quickly. You can imagine some AI performing such a task, or using lists of known content to filter; however you want to do it, you first come to the question on how you construct that stuff in the first place; it requires gathering such content and human eyes looking at it. And then subsequently you produce tooling that can be flipped around and used as a search engine to seek and find such material instead of filtering it away. So yeah, there are no graceful perfect solutions I am afraid. Well, there is one of course…. https://cdn.satellite.earth/a92bdd80dbd45e00636a9db615061eef168c3164a0e1bfa1abfb0784e74cd24e.mp3

A camera that belonged to my late father. Tomorrow, I plan to go buy a lens for this camera📷

This is the original.

Can you share the original, untouched, shot, please?

Good night,Nostr💜
