If you thought usability was hard before.. Just wait till we all have to be secure and stuff.. 😂 UI/UXers in shambles

I guess the good news is, all the security skills anyone has are about to get used pretty hardcore.. Where as in the past, it was mostly not taken very seriously at all.. #jarbs

Blockclock too eh? Wow, it just doesn't stop does it. 👁 #moscowtime

My last application I made for opensats all I got back was a sorry we are full, and a "we may have screwed up your taxes from before", and then realized someone on the board of nostr had copied what I was doing to renew their own long term grant. So forgive me for being salty. What do you want from me, to be happy about all that? To just chill and good vibes? To just, not even consider all the possible conflicts of interest in play? Oh well, I've gone completely off the ranch now. GLHF.

Tried that, didn't work. View quoted note →

Go watch some wild west movies. Know how they're always robbing banks and trains? Yah, that's bitcoin now. Your grandchildren will watch it on their neural-link for amusement.

buzz has some super annoying bugs. Like this one:

[Bug] Agents from different communities collide in channels, causing duplicate @mention targets and missing avatars · Issue #2515 · block/buzz

Let's see how long it takes their clanker paradise to fix something as basic as this. Or, whatever. I have a fork, and could fix, but I'm not going to because I want to see how long this takes.

warrant canary only really works in certain countries USA ✅ Australia ❌

who else got a warrant canary? feeds.relay.tools ✅ primal ❌ opensats ❌ pretty much everything on nostr ❌ I'm not saying you have to, but sure would be nice given the state of the union.

I wanted to help build nostr because I could see how big platforms could silence people would be a huge problem for bitcoin's future. Now I see this new problem of influence gathering and nostr itself co-opted from within. Are the principles still sound? Yes. But, it will take great amounts of bottom up fighting tooth and nail to keep the wolves at bay.

Whenever monetary incentives are involved, you HAVE to assume the worst. Anything that can be attacked, and money gotten, WILL be. It is outright relentless that way. This is something over the years, I may have just taken for granted as common knowledge but I see that it is not. The reason I went on a "witch hunt" the other day, is I saw a lot of scurrying going on, a lot of "pardon'ing" and calls to not be so harsh with this. I saw people making claims that it may not be their fault, shifting blame tactics and I decided to be loud about it. Did that do anything productive? Probably not, it probably hurt some of my relationships on here, but it was better than silence. I do not think, that this was an isolated mistake. The same systems that promoted NVK into a position to rug people this easily, are still there. Still functioning business as usual. If we don't relentlessly focus on this, the other side of the equation is the bad actors in combination will relentlessly continue. They took some hits, but they will not change unless it is made clear that we will not tolerate it. I hope that I'm wrong, I hope that this does not go all the way to bitcoin core itself. But the reality is, it probably does. I've been hearing lots of things, about the shitty parts of this whole ecosystem lately. Then, when something like this happens, I would have to be STUPID not to assume this is just scratching the surface. So again. Assume the worst. Assume that everything that can be compromised (people included) will be. Assume that people will be involved that may just be a patsy. Assume that as bitcoin grows in market-cap, the odds go up and up. Conspiracy yesterday, reality today. This is just simple logic, "it's just business, not personal" some would say. Follow the logic to it's conclusions and yes, it is looking VERY scary out there. Don't let anyone shame you about asking questions/speaking your mind or shining a flashlight around to see what you can see. Notice who pops up to try to silence you. Notice the patterns, apply simple monetary logic game scenarios. Stay frosty. View quoted note →
