I wonder how many silent Penelopes we've mistaken for passive heroines just because the translator didn't know how to listen to the loom. View quoted note →

· Interaction schemes: Profiles managed by the same person (alias/alter ego) often interact with each other in a predictable way. They like each other, respond in strategic moments, republish the same content in a sort of coordinated "dance". This behaviour, if monitored, is a wake-up call. 🚩🛎️ #Invisiblestr

Having only one leader means giving your wings to a single direction of the wind. But the human heart is made of many rooms: friendship cannot be commanded, conscience cannot be rented out, and even the deepest love never asks you to extinguish your own inner light. Perhaps true courage is knowing how to say: *I respect you, but I remain free to see the world with my own eyes*. 🌱 *If your leader asked you to stop loving the ones you love, what would be left of you?* View quoted note →

When a society stops generating, it means that it has stopped believing in tomorrow ... or that it fears it. #Invisiblestr

#invisiblestr You know that feeling on Nostr? Like you walked into the wrong room and everyone's speaking a language you don't understand. Good. That's the signal. You're one of us. Post in your own language. Post your art, your music, your random thoughts. This is where the invisible become the majority. No gatekeepers. No vibe check. Just the rest of us, finally with a name.

Good night, beautiful souls. 🌙✨ May the stars be your sheet and the moon cushion. May sleep bring you only kind dreams, of those that smell of breeze and freedom.

**The Silent Money and the Tower of Babel** If Bernays' engineering of consent has had a silent ally in this last century, it has been currency. Not money itself, which is a neutral concept, but *fiat currency*. The one we pass between our hands every day. You've never really noticed it, have you? Every banknote is a tiny political manifesto. A face, a monument, a symbol of a central power that whispers to you with every transaction: "I am the guarantor. I exist. You can trust me because I say so." Neoliberalism, so often discussed in critical essays, is not an abstract entity. It is an architecture that rests on these pillars. One of the most robust is precisely the ability to control the flow of this monetary "language." You have been taught that inflation is a natural, almost meteorological phenomenon. You have been told that "Quantitative Easing" is a technical measure to "save the economy." But what if you changed your perspective? What if you saw all this as the greatest feat of linguistic engineering ever conceived? A slow, steady, inexorable depreciation not only of your purchasing power, but of your very time and labor. It is a programmed blackout, where the light that goes out is the light of your future. And this is where a different idea enters the stage. An idea that has no face on a banknote. It has no central bank. It has no press office. Bitcoin is not "an investment." It is the separation of money and state. Period. It is a new linguistic protocol, a monetary grammar that no committee can rewrite behind closed doors. It doesn't need to convince you with a manifesto or a speech on television. It is a mathematical fact. And that is why it is so profoundly disturbing to those who have built their cathedral on the manipulation of perception. In this, Bitcoin and Nostr are twins. They are protocols, not platforms. There is no CEO of Nostr to call to "fix" the algorithm or silence an unwanted voice. It is a hum of independent relays, an ecosystem where the signal survives because there is no central point where it can be stifled. The analogy is perfect: fiat money is to traditional social media as Bitcoin is to Nostr. One is the official speech, the other is free conversation. One is the Cathedral, the other is the market, the square, the alley. I'm not saying a technology will save us. That would be another naive form of faith. But for the first time, the architects of consent are faced with a brick they did not produce. A brick that refuses to be molded. A mathematical silence in the middle of their noisy Babel. Keep building your relays. Not to make noise, but to create the space for a different kind of silence.

— Pavel Durov 🚨 Another proof that Telegram’s Secret Chats are the most secure way to communicate. The FBI got access to deleted messages in US gov-funded app Signal just by checking the notifications data. On Telegram, Secret Chats never show message content in push notifications, so, unlike Signal and other supposedly secure apps, we don’t have this risk. 🔛 Turning off notification previews won’t make you safe if you use those apps, because you never know whether the people you message have done the same. So Telegram’s Secret Chats design that forces the absence of notifications previews is the only solution. Obviously, this hurts usability, that’s why Telegram has two types of chats: Secret and Cloud. 🤹 In general, apps that are trying to provide both security and usability in ONE type of chat end up with ugly compromises — like WhatsApp leaking 95% of messages via unencrypted backups or Signal exposing messages through push notifications. The only way is to have two types of chats: 100% usable (Cloud) and 100% secure (Secret). 📆 12+ years passed since Telegram started the end-to-end encryption revolution by launching Secret Chats. Since then, dozens of apps followed suit and made bold claims about their encryption. But no app has been able to beat our Cloud Chats in usability and our Secret Chats in security. Their try to mix the two and get neither.

FBI used iPhone notification data to retrieve deleted Signal messages - 9to5Mac

The FBI was able to recover deleted Signal messages from an iPhone by extracting data stored in the device’s notification database.

"Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity." — Socrates However, it must be noted that this attribution to Socrates is most likely incorrect. The quote seems to come from a speech by the Athenian rhector **Isocrates**, entitled A Demonic (Ad Demonicum 41). Νόμιζε μηδὲν εἶναι τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων βέβαιον· οὕτω γὰρ οὔτ’ εὐτυχῶν ἔσει περιχαρὴς οὔτε δυστυχῶν περίλυπος.
