How geopolitics can alter digital infrastructure

More evil has been done in the browser by javascript than anything else. It's funny that Nostr solves that by making javascript more important for browser based clients

Traditionally we knew the big money that funded the media. We knew who owned the New York Times, who the Publisher and Editors were and how they got paid. In light of DOJ exposing the true funding of a decent size media company, and the modern fact that Government controlled bots can play a large role in spreading information, I begin to see @jack point that freedom of speech isn't so important as free will. I'd like to know how I'm being influenced. Transparency is needed in both content funding and algorithm.

Sure there are extremists. I don't think they are nice but I stand for their right to speech. But by and large, Nostr is once of the kindest communities I've even been a part of. Postgresql mailing list is a close second

Should there be an event type for a resource where the content is strictly json-ld? #nostr #protocol

And try as I might to explain the value of being available to search using metaphors like "yellow pages", I ultimately failed. Is inclusion into AI the new version of that argument? #ai #news #journalism

A typical navy submarine has an operating depth of around 300 meters, and a crush depth of about 480+ meters. The Empire State Building is 443 meters high (including the antenna)

The central idea of "censorship resistant" is that no entity should be in-between the creator and the consumer or that, in the least, it is feasible to replace any entity in-between the two #nostr #protocol

J.D. Vance was named after Boss Hogg but looks more like Cooter

Journalists have a skewed view of their importance because maybe they take an existing tech idea and write a popular article about it, and it seems like they "invented" it. And while they certainly help spread the word, it would happen without news organizations, if the internet has taught us anything

On the other hand, the fact that it isn't actually easy to provide a canonical link to an item of interest to a non-nostr user impedes adoption #nostr #protocol

I get annoyed that some sites like figma use the open graph type of article for a page like this https://www.figma.com/design/HdlFOxW77gAADyRaOk1GUZ/Nostr-Website-Button-Logo?node-id=0-1 #opengraph #newstr #protocols

It does hurt their cause when the media covers Trump incessantly and there is nothing meaningfully new to share. Then when something bad comes out it isn't shocking, having been lost in a sea of anti-trumpism

I don't care if this had a positive effect. It's wrong.
