I love this quote from @jack “There’s a lot of conversation these days about free speech, and the importance of free speech, and I think that is a complete distraction. The question, and the debate, and the conversation we should be having is around free will. Because these algorithms are being used to direct your attention, and in some cases direct your action.” I think we can talk about a lot of abstract problems in the decentralized social media space like privacy, ownership, freedom of speech, and algorithms and it can be hard to connect them to other problems in the world. But attention and behavior change are happening at scale and it’s changing elections, increasing polarization, inciting violence, driving late-stage capitalist consumerism and a other societal diseases that help keep powerful people in power, and it’s being done through you and me.

I finally got around to reading up on Bluesky’s moderation architecture. It’s nice to see that they’ve arrived at pretty much the exact solution we are working towards at Nos.social. An open labeling system that can be used by all stakeholders (relays, apps, users) in the way that makes the most sense to them.

Moderation is a crucial aspect of any social network. However, traditional moderation systems often lack transparency and user control, leaving com...

Apple Intelligence is the first time I’ve actually had a physiological response to AI. Watching the keynote today felt like watching a giant wave coming towards you that can’t be stopped. If Apple Intelligence is any good it’s going to be *really* useful. It’s just a taste of the radical shift we are going through. How many months before the majority of human communication is filtered through AI? AI that we can’t inspect or opt out of that is created by a few powerful super corporations who don’t have our best interests at heart. But idk maybe things will be fine.

The dox article conveniently left out that @fiatjaf immediately gave half the bitcoin to @jb55 because he didn't want to be in charge of all the money. The two of them have been giving it away since then to all kinds of people working on all kinds of Nostr projects. Whatever his political views are with respect to Brazil, when it comes to governing the Nostr protocol he has consistently taken a light and open-handed approach.

I 3D printed the vertical stand for my keyboard yesterday and used it all day today. It was surprisingly easy to use. I took a typing test on it right away and got 67 WPM which is only slightly lower than my high score of 73. It was pretty comfortable to type with my wrists vertical and it forced me to float them off the desk when typing which is what you are supposed to do anyway. I can’t see the keys at all which is mostly ok, but I struggled a little to hit certain key combos when my hands were off the keyboard, like my shortcut for mute/unmute during meetings. Numbers were also a little challenging. Overall it was a lot better than I thought it would be and I will definitely be experimenting with it some more. Here are some photos. The book is there to hold down the edges of the stand. If I make this permanent I will definitely find a better solution.

Today’s 3D print is a vertical stand for the two halves of my split keyboard. Will post the results tomorrow. Has anyone else tried a vertical keyboard?

I got a second-hand 3D printer from a friend today! I’m pretty excited to start making stuff with it. I’m thinking about making some toys for my toddler (are there any good ways to recycle PLA?) as well as useful stuff for around the house. Like I know I need to replace a knob on my camp stove and I already found a model for that. I’m also planning to get some Meshtastic LoRa boards and I’ll probably print a case for those too. If you have a 3D printer let me know what your favorite prints are!

Nostr is the consensual network.
