Hey does #nostr need a new slogan? https://i.chzbgr.com/full/10442512896/hC08BADA4/have-extremely-strange-beliefs-and-am-silly-member-very-unhinged-online-communities

Great "Best of the Worst" from RedLetter Media #botw #rlm #badmovies #trashcinema

Accountability for the world your generation left behind is important. As Millennials enter middle age, we harbor a (justifiable IMHO) chip on our shoulders for the Boomers who bought houses in the 70's for pocket change, and then spent decades enacting NIMBY policies to make family creation in economically viable parts of the USA all but impossible. However, millennials are also largely to blame for the centralized, Enshittified internet that GenZ and GenAlpha (in particular) have been steeped in since birth. We saw the birth of the internet in the 90's and 00's as a liberatory force, but didn't see how easily advertiser-fueled "surveillance capitalism" would lead straight to fascist control. This is the hole we've dug, and we have to work to dig our digital world back out of it.

NIP-TPLD would allow for decentralized location tracking... Share your real-time location as transient (kind 20411) events, at the precision you want, to only the npubs you want. IDK if @GrapheneOS has a "share my location" feature yet, but this might be the way to do it properly?

Behind every right-wing figurehead is failed left-wing policy. Trump is a product in no small part of decades of social engineering, well-intentioned or not, that produced a situation in which "the good life" -- largely centered around housing opportunity -- has been hoarded and concentrated in the hands of coastal elites. Elon Musk, particularly SpaceX, is a product of the failing of decades of STEM policy that produced "Valley of Death" innovation gaps, where academic scientists forced into "publish or perish" are disincentivized from commercialization. Don't get me wrong -- SpaceX is "good", but there should have been 10 SpaceX's by 2010. There wasn't because the engineers and scientists who would have created them saw there was no future in STEM and left.

Good #nostr today folks
