Last Notes npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant what are these differences that are hidden in the background? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant interesting perhaps, but i think this is immoral. The only purpose of the uh-ah-bot is to fool you, be it conciously or unconciously. The same goes for the silicon face humanoid robots and what not. The bottom line of all this crap is always ''how can we trick grandma into thinking it is real so we can leave her with the robots and just forget her''. Besides we already have the perfect robot voice.: https://blossom.primal.net/d0a6f52381a9ee426a363f1ca672e929cf025f40dda49a8406496d16d0671ba8.mp3 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant How much work went into the bluetooth aspect of this? Because i have a robot grinding out a bluetooth engine that dynamically adjust the network topology based on the purpose and circumstances. Well, the robots are busy working on other stuff at the moment, but i have a small fleet of android devices that run live tests. An early version of the engine is inside the current version of table mesh. Unless you already nailed the bluetooth stuff, i could add any uses/scenarios you have in mind into the lab runs so you can eventually use the engine as well npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I am in the 100th percentile in terms of hours playing Starcraft Broodwar. What is your favorite game? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So....was is the tone or the content of the remark, should she have joyfully declared you to be are a whore? 🤔 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Might be me, but i still dont know what it is you are building npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant excellent! After i wrote this post i thought of threads shows as network graphs, or people's own post as a rolodex or whatever. All the funky and quirky ways have to be explored, there is probably some use for some one out there :P npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Perhaps one of the more difficult things to communicate (verbally), and getting to a point where someone experiences it for himself such that the point gets across and an intuition starts to build, its the matter of ''perspective'' irt Nostr. This is because, among other stuff, Nostr changes two things, compared to the legacy platforms and two variables makes for complex systems. With Nostr, both WHAT you look at, as well as HOW it gets presented to you, is completely flexible, whereas on platforms, mostly these two things are extremely rigid. The rigidity has a reason, which is the 'purpose'. The content and the presentation of that content go hand in hand in order of an ''app'' to communicate to the user what the app is for. Pintrest is this moodboard type of thing, so it presents pictures in a moodboard kind of way. Perhaps the initial reaction from a lot of people to Nostr's flexibility is disorientation, rather than recognizing the opportunities this creates. Telling them that the same content can be shown a bunch of different ways is meaningless to them, because they lack a mental framework/understanding to comprehend. Maybe I should frame it differently, from an angle they do understand which is how the web experience over time became bland, similar to how mcdonalds buildings became boring. The more your focus is ''the masses'', the more you seek out the lowest common denominator. Any bold, opinionated choice simply undermines your ''masses'' ambition. The ''UI/UX" landscape of the legacy platforms is not such because it is the best, and/or the most appealing; they are such because they are the least offensive to the largest share of the users. And they need to be, they can't afford to be anything else, their whole model/architecture depends on mass adoption of their app. With Nostr, no such pressure exists (network effect in the protocol not the location/platform blablabla), so all the sudden, liberated from this pressure, things can be hyper opinionated, hyper outputting to anyone but a few. Hyper specialized for purpose, hyper bespoke depending on the use-case. The point is not that you can look at anything in any way, it is that you can look at what you want in the way you want. The point is not the infinity options available, the point is that within that infinity you can pick the one particular to you. #nevent1q…ydca npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant What are you building? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Why? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Don't get me wrong, i am not praying for the apocalypse (or am I), but what if ''the web'' just starts to break down and crumble under the pressure of hacks and exploits. Are "we" ready? Can we say 'sorry your favorite platforms are down or unreliable for whatever reason, sorry things happened to your account and/or content.....here is something that was better to begin with but also just works' What if it was never about us winning a popularity contest, what if our job is to ensure we are the last survivor? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Maybe, timing is not ideal for me rn but perhaps I can juggle some stuff. If you have any plans then let me know. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think i ended up with something that i can experiment with. Most android devices allow you to provision your phone; its this hidden mode right after a factory reset where you have to scan some QR that contains all the provision instructions. Ive used this for my device fleet, and its pretty sweet. You can't get rid of all the google stuff, but it does make for an as clean as possible instal with non of the clutter (either simply not installed or hidden). It should be possible to make an nsite/client, that just generates this QR locally based on some event that lists all the apps and what not. The flow then is pretty simple where you firstboot or factory reset the device, do a trick, scan the QR and it mostly is just all automatic from that point. I can use this client anyway for playing around with my testlab/fleet, so when i come around to it il publish it. Its not some fancy root hacker OS or anything, but it should work on most android phones, and you still get regular OS updates for whatever it is your phone is running. Oh and it gets rid of most/all the anoying alerts and blockers when you try to install an app outside of the appstore. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant man.... we really should be more in the loop with this stuff :/ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You are just now waking up to the horror of the midwit? Haha npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant He has all the jungle critters running on mills to power his newly aquired datacenter npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ok, this version is a lot better already. Tuin, our collective decentralized network of gardens as our children's online environment. https://npub1xre6736ae3m7nlfkx2sgxj4saul4t0jcmadstz2yuvffzssk874qnkhef8.nsite.lol/ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I know i am an asshole for pointing to the information/data thing from a moment in a normal conversation, and are well aware you are aware. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Gigi explaining the horrific nature of spam. Information does not ''only'' spread, it is data that does that. Spreading data, especially these days, is cheap; turning it into information is where the cost is, where the friction starts to occur and where things will shriffle quickly without a tremendous amount of upkeep....or worse, turn against you. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant can you explain it to me in english? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think the question to you would be: Look at how trivial the OTS verification is, at worst a hand full of mb worth of chain headers and you can verify all the OTS proofs under the sun in an instant. What does it take to actually verify those eth based state claims? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant getting ''mom can we have grok? ; we have a grok at home'' vibes. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant A lot of the anti american sentiment pushers don't want to wave their country flag, they are pushing for waving the EU flag instead...or the tranny one, or both to the extend they are not the same fake and gay thing to begin with. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant well, case in point hahaha: #naddr1qv…7ecz npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The world is full of ''communities'', where people share a particular interest and organize themselves around that interest. Oldtimer cars, or jigsaw puzzles. Lets take the latter. You have the market for jigsaw puzzles, with people designing and selling them, you have people creating content around the puzzles discussing or solving them. There are tournaments of all sorts where puzzles are done competatively. It does not really matter what the ''community'', or perhaps you can call it ''hobby'' is. The thing i want to draw attention to here is the interaction and organization surrounding it. The internet facilitated a lot of these things, allowing people with shared interest to find eachother regardless of where they are on this earth, as well as give them to tools do perform these interactions and manage organizing things. Youtube channels, websites, reddit stuff, tweets, we use what these platfoms provide in order to do all these things. Nostr is an obvious (to me/us) answer. You can create whatever bespoke app/client/enfornment for your hobby/community, on this interoperable substrate. The infrastructure won't be dependent on a particular company, and the community is never forced into some migration. Ofcourse, within that infrastrure things may shift in terms of both actors, relays and apps used, but there are always these interoperable tie-ins that generally keep things ''together''. @npub1utx…50e8 mentioned it in its interview with @npub15u3…05rq that "Bitcoiners" are just the first ''community'' to addopt Nostr. As a result ''we'' (partially) molded the environment around this interest. In a way, what Nostr needs, or perhaps could use/benefit from, is taking whatever particular interest/hobby you have and ''community'' you are in, to take the environment that Nostr provides and build an infrastructure for it and convince the others in the community to use it. Not saying that it is easy/trivial, but it atleast is a somewhat clear ambition. An agenda nip/standard becomes more valuable to more clubs of whatever kind use it to organize their meetups and competitions. The more standards become more standard, the more the standard which these standards function becomes move valuable. Where do we want to build and acrew the value? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I hosted a dinner last night, and abused the situation to test the new update of Table mesh with 5 people and 8 devices. It worked! There were some rough edges as well as a catastrophic failure right at the end, but that was because i intentionally tried to break things. That was from a technical perspective, but i also observed what actually happened at the table. People were mostly focussed on their own screen/phone. They did share the experience, but the attention was not focussed on the center of the table where normally the board would be, eventhough i had a tablet that displayed the board; all the information the player needed was on their phone as well, and as such never bothered to look elsewhere. This part needs some reflection as well. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant That is all well and good but is the thing ready for its purpose and is it already used for its intended purpose. In this case iirc it was your/a local church community right? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This is the reason for the phrase ''there is no global''. Yes the purpose of ''a'' blockchain is to produce a global shared state; i happen to be of the school that such that ''money'' is basically the only thing you can organize such a system for in a decentralized manner, and that that ''a'' blockchain is actually ''the'' blockchain, which is Bitcoin. For everything else remains ''best effort'', which then ties into the point of my post that makes the point that there is enough there to facilitate such an effort, while accepting it will never be more than what a best effort can provide. If you need assurances, you can get those in form of making some particular dude responcible and hold that dude accountable whenever something goes wrong. This is also because, and this is related to all of this, there is this unbrigdeable gap between reality and adminitrative reality, which introduces the oracle problem. You can't get around the oracle problem, not even Bitcoin gets around it. Instead with Bitcoin, it picked a domain in which we already achieved practical global consensus; the thing it has to brigde this gap between reality and adminstrative reality for is time. Bitcoin picked the oracle problem for which we already have a sollution, all it needed to do was introduce some margin of error, and it could lean on the fact that all the computers out there, to significant degree, already agree on what time it is. As such, each oracle claim, i.e. the supposed timestamp in the mined block, can be subject to a local/decentralized/distributed sanity check. What you trust on when you sync the blockchain's history, which you were not there to witness its creation, is that this distributed judgement occured for each block in the moment/section of time it occured in. The accumulation of PoW subsequently cements this distributed judgement in order to produce plausability: eventhough you have no actual way of verifying the non-triviality of the history (i.e. was the difficulty of the past actually difficult to where it took ~10 minutes to produce a block), the running process of the network resulted in this unbroken chain that leads into the ''now'' where appearently it is non-trivial (the difficulty seems such that it does take ~10 minutes to produce a block). This is also my objection to notions that Bitcoin is time, or a clock or whatever, because Bitcoin leans on an existing consensus of time, and uses the clock in order to be what it is. From where I stand, the only thing we are (practically) able to borrow from ''the'' blockchain, is its time-anchoring, but not its global state. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant oh, ik dacht dat ze het in die nieuwsbrief over Nyves hadden hahaha, laat maar npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant wauw, nice! npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant hate to be that guy Rabble, but....neither does the rest of the world: "Original Twitter employee Evan Henshaw-Plath, a.k.a. Rabble, hopes to bring more smiles to social media with Divine, a new take on the late, lamented Vine, once known for its chaotic but jubilant videos with a strict limit of six seconds. Divine has already recovered some of the original clips that disappeared when Vine was shut down in 2017 and so far remains blissfully slop-free. Users must film clips within Divine’s open-source app, meaning it’s impossible to upload content that was created using AI. “People can experience joy and [are] empowered to participate and contribute to the platform,” says Rabble. " npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant In this interview i thought i would attempt to explain perhaps the most arcane insight behind Nostr. I think i failed, but thats not the end of the world. I won't do a full attempt here and now, but the point is that verifiability on the one hand, and context on the other is what makes Nostr ''work'' eventhough theoretically it should not. A pubkey or a hash are just meaningless strings. If i would hand you such at string, it would just be a random garbled mess. And it is, it very much is a random garbled mess, that is very much the point of such strings. It is only because there are things associated to those strings, be that an event in the case of the eventID/hash, or an actor in the case of a public key, that it gains any meaning. This begs the question as to how you would find out what that associated thing is, where you would find it. And it is this question that is the reason that from a theoretical perspective the unsolveable problem comes in; there is no full proof method or insurance you ever will. It just so happens that in practice, we have all these servers that make an effort of indexing this association. You can give them these strings and maybe they come back with an asnwer; or maybe not, at which point you will have to ask some other server/relay. But these random strings, in practice, rarely stand on their own. Each event always stand in the context of its publisher in the first place, but may also itself be referenced by other events from other publishers. These publishers also reference eachother (chief among such references is a follow list), so in actuality there is this lively network of active references that quickly scatters among the relays. Once you find the association, you know you found it because you can verify, so each attempt, each quest for context atleast carries this promise that you know you arived at your destination once you get there, eventhough there is no promise you will ever get to the destination. So regardless how scattered the data may be, in its fragmentation it is indexed, and in its 'liveliness' it is interconnected through reference, and in its answers it provides context, and in its context it delivers meaning. And thats how you go from a meaningless string to meaning. The reason for all of this is so that everyone can permissionlessly operate on the same interoperable plane and we don't need a cental party, a platform, to provide context and therefor meaning for us. It is the method by which we liberate ourselves from the silo, whatever it is we are doing. It is how we solve for coordination, be that on Nostr itself, be that for Blossom, be that for Ngit or whatever else. It is how we flipped the script, so that instead of all going to the exact same place to interact, we can manage to go wherever the other happens to be to interact, in order to fullfill the promise of the internet that everyone potentially can get into contact with anybody else. Ok, maybe i sort of did do an attempt to explain it again, and frankly I don't think i did much of a better job than i did during the interview, but...i dunno, bite me. Nostr. #nevent1q…tx6r npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ngit/grasp npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Well, Nostr, obviously. But looking at all the decompiling jailbreaking stuff going on with proprietary software getting undermined, i am wondering if these silos/platforms can even be maintained in the first place anymore. If there is no form of exclusivity that acts as a unique selling point for a platform, the whole notion of creating a platform becomes pointless. My prediction is that for a short while, people will just erect simply more adhoc platforms for the now, lets call it, ''liberated'' stuff; simply out of habbit. But it will get silly quickly that you'd think that at some point it will dawn on people they might as well use some sort of protocol instead. Above all, Nostr needs broader awareness, the outside world is doing most of the work in terms of being relevant for us already. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant is it inspired or based on Nix? Ive been thinking about this for a while npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant it is a bit disorienting at first, but if you play around with it a bit, it quickly unveils a bunch of superpowers, despite its rough experience. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://cdn.azzamo.media/c320d7bf1d98356df2810d48cd181055450de7987ee37e6884d144835b2bed3a.gif npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Sir, building games IS the new gaming. It will make for an interesting GamesDoneQuick eventually. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Isnt that everything we are doing though? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant ignore the clickbait title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiO7itdNJw0 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant They could use Amber or an iOS signer. Probably offer them two tiers; first innitial flow being some client/app created specifically around this campaign (which aids in the keybackup, but also a default feed and default relay, default group etc.. And then from there ways that leads them to stuff like amber and 'regular' clients. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Oh, no, the nfc card is just empty. The idea is that they use some Nost client and generate their own keys obvously, but have a way to back it up. As for password bruteforcing...well, yeah...whatever. you can add some password best practices on the letter, but with these things i think you should not overthink it. Its just so that if someone grabs your card you are not instantly pwned as would be the case with a raw nsec npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Or associate with whomever, use the relays of your choosing, ignore grifters etc etc. Nost is just the internet at the end of the day, its not some place, its a method npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I was not refering to other usecases. I was talking about the fact that no outside force can all the sudden force you into a certain experience, given you can just use whatever client that suits you. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I have said this before, but an ncryptsec on a nfc card/tag is probably the best minimal viable nostr-key back-up solution i can think off. To expand on that. If there is any bazillionaire willing to trow away money on something stupid: how about just sending a physical letter to a whole municipality or province or state or country or whatever that includes such a nfc card. The letter simply explains to people that digital liberty finaly has arived, they don't have to sign any contract or pay anyone anything. A couple of onboarding steps and the remark that its not a service and there is no service desk so if they need help they should ask their neigbour or nephew or whatever. Frankly, just as an object of study i would like to see something like that happening. So send money to my foundation and who knows, i might do it🤷♂️ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you mistunderstand Nostr if you don't realize that ''it'', as such, can never change ''from'' that; ''it'' can only come to *also* contain that. You are free to act and engage in whatever how you see fit npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant i think both are correct at the same time. In terms of scale there are many order of magnitude differences between the number of people leveraging Nostr and many of the platforms out there. This difference in degree in itself constitutes a difference in kind. As a result, atleast in this phase, the only option you have is to actively engage, in order to get some interaction, because neither happenstance nor algo will get you there. I have started to include this heads up into my messaging, because some people might simply not be aware. What does honestly confuse me is why some people appear to be smug about it, mocking Nostr's current numbers (whatever they may be, who knows). Who do they think they are dunking on, except themselves? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Don't worry, we will put all the platforms on spikes and line them up on the side of the digital highway in due time npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant so....what?

Around 26 Billion tokens, whatever that means. AND ITS STILL NOT DONE FFS.... I have no idea if the result is going to be any good, it better be. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No quarter. Look, i don't disagree ultimately the people orchestrating the gay-op deserve more attention and scrutiny, and can appreciate the call to recognize the humanity in the other....but. This is not how it works, however lost these people may be, they, as a group, will just double down, and keep doubling down untill every bit of civilization is consumed, at which point they will double down some more. Its all well and good some individual here and there can change their mind, and to some extend i will go allong with them being victems. But ultimately we can't 'excuse' their degeneracy, there must be consequences. Pointing at them as an example of degeneracy as a means to disgust any sensible person into what way NOT to go, is totally valid. You can be sympathetic all you want, and the point is not that non of this is not tragic, but tragic or not, does not change that as a phenomenon, it can't be reasoned with. And to the extend you can, you have to ask yourself if we even have the time/energy/resources to do so. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant people talk about the internet and platforms etc all the time. There is an entire paradigm of words they have understanding of in their heads that get thrown around in conversation all the time in order to communicate. So no, we don't need to stop talking about Nostr, we need to normalize it in peoples heads. The fact you even relate the matter to a list of platforms is already a sign you might be missing the point, and could benefit from talking about Nostr some more npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Honest question: what else would you have them do, given they supply every living idiot soul with their OS. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant in this situation for like a week now npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The more i think about proximity-net, the more it makes sense npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant wop wop wop npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant They just set these behavioral standards and let the robot police break your neck if you break the rule 🤷♂️ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I wanted to test apps and especially the bluetooth stuff on real devices. So i got some. 6 shitty phones and a tablet. I can now do automated testing and its all orchestrated by the robot! It can update the apps, change settings, and retreive log data in a bunch of different ways, even allowing for remote set-up. I gave them all a color so know what device the robot is talking about😅 https://cdn.satellite.earth/cbae4bf60350f1eb7e1637a096afd2da258928be859f92749adcec452ce159bd.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Journey is the newest idea actually. It started out as a workshop i gave, to a dosen people or so. For that purpose it had a task board, and people could sign up, and perform ''tasks'' (close to 60 different ''nostr'' things, like posting or uploading a profile picture etc. And then the task board on the big screen, would keep track of everyones progress. Then, because i already was making this as a webclient nsite, i figured i might as well throw my presentation slides in there as well, so i did. And then came the idea to run this at the bitfest conference, so i kind of wanted people to have a ''solo'' experience as well, doing these tasks throughout a conference, or just downloading the app at home. So thats where the journey stuff came into. There are supposed to be three main things: Getting onboarded onto Nostr; Getting to know some things and do some stuff and see some apps; Getting offboarded from the workshop app. I will think about a crafty prompt to present to the robot. Thank you for your feedback npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think you have a newer version already? Its the 0.4 In it, all the workshop-app-client-task-interfaces now had their first proper run, so it has graphics and stuff. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant it will all land on ngit on some point, when the robots feel like it npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant @nprofile…9vs7 could you have a look at the Nostr Workshop app? 👉👈🥹. I guess it will be very confusing an too much information overload, trying to work on that. But i wonder if you see any value in this irt onboarding someone new from your experience. Or as a tool you could use in that process. Because despite that it might be a bit overwhelming....it has a lot...as in...it kinda has everything one would need, i think atleast #naddr1qq…dppu https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qq0xxmmd9e6x2cmgdehk2argd93kztnwdaehgunhdaexkumgdacqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eaxzurnw3hhyefwv3jhvq3qt6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sxpqqqplqkqvdppu npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant It should all be auth all the time, for the most part. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think the events of the games got lost allong the way or something, but there should be about 8 games already.

Should be like 2 beats/senteces. These guys yap on and and on. It should be 'I used to be an adventured like you....but then i took an arrow in the knee' And not add on 'So i went to the hospital....cost me an arm and a leg!.....so now i walk with a stick...not what you call pole position in life' npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant haha, please test it first. I can't really do good real world tests atm. Would be dissapointing if everything brakes or is already broken and only find that out when you are on the flight already.

A remote system monitor over Nostr to check the system resources and stuff anywhere via a webapp/nsite. It runs a little deamon on the system, which supplies (encrypted)updates every so often when called for, and stops automatically when nothing is listening anymore. Once set up, you just log in with a remote signer into the app and you are good to go. https://gitworkshop.dev/npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw/relay.ngit.dev/vitals npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ngit is a great angle into Nostr npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Can't recall if i posted this already, but I had this idea/insight from making Table Mesh. The point of table mesh is that it works without internet. Its a somewhat stupid feature, because internet access is not really an issue anywhere anymore, be it via 4g/5g or wifi. The same goes for a lot of other mesh based sollutions. Bitchat targets this (critical) niche of an 'emergency' and/or adversarial context. BUT! What if..... Smartphones and children is this big issue and nobody has a really good awnser. I am not proposing some be-all-end-all, but it might offer a decent middle-way that inherrently takes care of a bunch of problems. What if, we give our kids smartphones WITHOUT internet access? A smartphone without internet is absolutely useless, its a boring piece of shit. But now, mesh based sollutions suddenly become super usefull. The proximity requirement in this context becomes a feature, not a drawback. Whatever it is they can do with their smartphones, they can only do when they are already near eachother. Mesh based applications now have a 'market'/environment to thrife in, and can actually be used on a day to day basis, enccouraging more and different type of sollutions/apps. We no longer develop mesh stuff in case of emergency, we develop them because we conciously cut out internet for good reason in the specific context of children. I assume people can sort of imagine what problems internet as such introduces, but to give two examples: Anyone can potentially reach your child from all over the globe at all times, whereas when proximity is required to even establish contact, time and space are now barriers. Intenternet can supply a practically infinite amount of 'content', so the 'feed' never ends, it never runs out of stuff to give you. If you would be so kind, test out table mesh, or consider donating to our foundation so i can buy 6 smartphones and a tablet in order to create a testing environment to explore this 'internetless smartphone but proximity/meshbased' paradigm more thoroughly. #naddr1qq…yakq https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqgk7un89e6xzcnvv4kk2umg9eshquqprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9uju7npwpehgmmjv5hxgetkqgs9afryspzmk8ljyfj4mhfkumwwmhzrtyxzvzgvfp477w80g5x6t0grqsqqqlst6eyakq weboftrustfoundation.com npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think the highly subsidized era is in its final phases. Looking at opus 5.5 for example. It seems way more efficient, so whatever had product market subsidized fit half a year ago, probably is now closer to actual product market fit under the real price/cost....if my words make any sense here. I don't think these companies have any real business model at the end of the day, other than something that is too close to being commodified to have the margins required to ever ROI. But whatever, thank you investors for footing the bill i guess. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Gigi is not into the new era of gaming which is the ultimate computergame of making computergames i guess npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I did not really look into this stuff, but on a scale from no to yes, how many hazelnuts is this worth in terms of being usefull for local content filtering inside Nostr clients or perhaps relays? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Its a dynamic where is waldo on hell difficulty npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://cdn.satellite.earth/d91384ff55ac6efc77d93248b0c16a91eeedad97ff46b5b8cb6876ef640dd42d.mp4 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant @nprofile…cy6q doing the Nostr row call #nevent1q…mdmz npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant We already have decentralized git.

The fact that my presentation given on the Free and Open Software Developer European Meetup (FOSDEM), exists, does not mean other presentations can also exist no? My point is that even things geared towards ordinary users should try to educate them on ''Nostr'' as such. There is no ''hiding'' Nostr in the background, despite there currently being a semi-popular school of thought that wants to think in that direction. If you want to leverage the abilities and liberties you have with your identity, apps and relays, you need *some* awarness/intuition around these things.
