Beyond Usernames and Passwords Traditional digital identity is fundamentally broken. When we create accounts on platforms, we're actually requesting permission to exist in their digital spaces. We face an increasingly bizarre ritual: proving we're human by solving puzzles that machines are becoming better at solving than we are. CAPTCHA systems have evolved into complex image recognition tasks that often leave humans squinting at blurry traffic lights while machine learning algorithms solve them with higher accuracy. We find ourselves in the absurd position of proving our humanity to machines using tests that machines are better at passing. This highlights a fundamental flaw in traditional authentication - it's built on the assumption that being human is something that needs to be proven to a machine. Even after passing these tests, we don't truly own our digital identities. The platforms control our accounts, our connections, our data. They can change terms of service, modify algorithms, or simply shut down our accounts. We build digital lives on foundations we don't control, constantly proving our humanity to systems that increasingly understand these proofs better than we do. Nostr fundamentally changes this dynamic. Instead of requesting permission to exist from platforms, users generate their own cryptographic identities. These identities are self-sovereign - controlled entirely by the key holder, independent of any platform or service. This isn't just a technical distinction - it's a fundamental shift in the relationship between individuals and digital spaces. With Nostr, identity comes from the individual, not the platform. Connections between identities are direct cryptographic relationships, not entries in a company's database.

do you remember how ridiculous the idea of 'fake news' was when Trump first coined the term?

Trudeau has resigned!

By the end of the year, we could see a situation whereby Kier Stamer is in prison and Tommy Robinson is the prime minister of Britain!

Interesting to see that Trump is calling out the UK government on the wind farms. That fact is, that the electricity price is negative in the UK when the wind blows. In order to make the existing wind investment effective, there would need to be a huge investment in battery technology. So far this hasn't happened. The Labour governments plans to quadruple the wind capacity in the UK with no plan to increase the batter storage capacity is lunacy. Trump is right, Starmer is an idiot!

GM Nostr I feel like the next 3 months is going to be fireworks in the bitcoin space!

I really didn't realize how bad things were in Canada until I watched this video!

gm nostr if you have bitcoin on exchanges, today is the day to take it off

Are commun-ication systems turning us into commun-ists?

A smartphone is a prosthetic for the human brain

gm nostr a new year of posts and zaps welcomes us!

Happy new year Nostr!
