This is interesting because it’s a hardware device.

It’s really common for apps to claim they have “end to end encryption” when it’s obviously a lie, because consumer hardware isn’t fully controlled by the user’s chosen software. It’s different when you lie about it on actual hardware, where it’s more understandable for users to believe the claim.

I am thankful for the public pressure that made the reddit CEO do this.

I don’t want to thank the reddit CEO, but Digit would probably want me to, and I wish she’d talk to me, so: thanks for responding to public pressure, reddit CEO.

Sorry corporatist, but no, people aren’t assholes for expecting you to forgive them if the software they give you for free is suddenly not on your favorite corporate platform

Good to see people moving away from GitHub

I’d also suggest plebs.app for exposure to the nostr ecosystem but not on its own, just as one of multiple places to post

Too many open source projects rely on GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft. Until something like Radicle (or my proposed “Project Zymogen” fork) takes off, the open source ecosystem isn’t quite a ticket to escape Microsoft.

Good to see some universities making what moves they can though

Weak gaslighting attempt. Trying to gaslight me would generally be sad anywhere, but when you do it here instead of nostr, it’s a total waste of time that could have been spent trying to actually seem sincere enough to have more potential impact

See previous reply

Seems like you’re trying to passive aggressively bait me into a fair response on a platform with rules like “respectful communication” that are often doublespeak - red flags for a possibility that the person reacting fairly will be banned, while the person being passive aggressive is rewarded with herd mentality upvotes and dopamine.

Try this response on nostr, where I can’t be banned for responding, if you want to make it look more possible that you may have been replying in good faith and not just to waste my time / attempt to cyberbully me.

They mention they’re concerned about not having GitHub’s fundraising help, but I didn’t see a wallet address to donate to them at.

There’s a dev working on a project I proposed for a Radicle fork with good support for wallet addresses, to replace GitHub while offering better fundraising potential: Project Zymogen

Less than a thousand when I considered it in the past couple years, but not worth it for me due to overrated data durability. Found we need home vinyl record etching machines if we want something as good at shelf stability as these tapes are sometimes proclaimed to be.

Not bad for pure storage density though

I’ve never been out of the eastern US in my life and mine says I’m based in the Netherlands

The authorities are getting to where they don’t want to pretend to offer security because it would make it too embarrassing to have consumer products all be spyware

It is a protocol like ActivityPub is

Currently there are relay servers and web clients with DNS addresses, onion addresses, and I think some reachable with meshtastic somehow, but idk much about meshtastic. DNS and onion address servers also work with native client apps for Android and Apple

A new internet that’s outright hostile to corporate interests is what some of us are trying to build with nostr

No thanks, I have Steam and Luanti

Alright, let me know when TikTok and YouTube let my posts reach all the people I grew up with before being harassed out of my home area by the cops and banned from Facebook. I’m pretty sure a lot of them still believe the rumor someone started saying I killed myself.

Definitely useful for helping prevent content from being taken down. Torrents remain searchable through DHT but without seeds they’re just clogging search results
