Oh the memories. Took them forever to introduce something as simple as tabs that virtually all other competitors had since years. File explorer was the same, only recently it got tabs.

It always made more sense to call these tiny texts as "tweets" rather than "toots" (mastodon) or "status update" (generic) so it would be good having the right to use that term as public domain. There have been

When you dive deeper into NOSTR you'd find completely encrypted communities with a privacy level far higher than mainstream products because the servers here can be completely randomized and very difficult to track: https://

The novelty is that user accounts and UGC (user generated content) are both verifiable and independent from servers.

That would be NIP-05: https://nostrcompass.org/en/topics/nip-05/ Le Monde adds a text file at https://lemonde.fr/.well-known/nostr.json with the npubs (NOSTR public keys) of every person

That is an unfair judgement. There are people there using LN, just as there are others using Monero, BCH or whatever crypto rocks their boat. I develop for NOSTR and use zero cryptocurrencies because the communication aspect is what matters

Try following things you are interested. My topics are radio tech and my feed comes up with things that actually interest me.

ATproto is defacto not decentralized and the protocol is about 50x more complicated to get working than NOSTR. Whereas in ATproto you have to find a place to register an account, say a domain for yourself or use someone else's domain,

There are things like mailing lists since decades and they do fine. You are assuming that everyone can spam your messages whereas in reality with NOSTR you choose from which relays to get updates. These relays are sovereign in the sense tha

by nunobrito 23d ago
> protocol spec expressly forbids relays from forwarding messages to each other. That statement is false and if you disagree: please provide a source. There is no such restriction on the NIP (protocol guidelines). I have been writing NOS

Yeah, zero moderation and you can't talk to the manager. Truly awful to have decentralized freedom.

There is a feature called "follow" so just follow the people with topics you are interested, same as any network unless you prefer tiktok-style algorithms that choose everything for you.

What "awkward" coordination? Clients fetch updates from whatever servers they follow. Same thing with email that you've been using for decades, doesn't get simpler than that.

Since more than a decade that MITM is not a mass event. It is a targeted event for selected users which are scored as having a low chance of discovering anomalous traffic. It first (publicly) started by government authorities sending fake u

Was trying to find it but hard. Reticulum only needs some kind of way for bytes to move from one point to another. So USB with the serial data line works as well. On the video was using for an embedded device without WiFi nor Bluetooth to c

Would say your understanding is correct. It uses something similar to a "gossip" protocol where the public keys of other users are advertised. So it gets ride of IP addresses and can jump boundaries between different network types

Just to share some experience: 100% privacy on these kind of networks is more a sympton of talking to software engineers than the radio reality observed on mesh networks. Very often what comes as top priority is communication itself, which

I've been writing code by hand for 30 years and nowadays use LLM too for embedded and Android development among other stuff. It saves a lot of time and is amazing that it can debug multiple embedded devices connected to the computer fa

Geogram started even before AIs were available for coding. I'm a dinosaur but you remind those complaining in the 90s that Turbo Pascal wasn't real programming because it was too easy to copy code and compile. I don't have a

Get a computer with a good graphics card and try out opencode. The quality has recently improved a lot (comparable to Claude about 12 months ago) and everything is running locally, so you'd save on costs but most important: nobody can

Anyone here has been using coMaps and care to share their experience, especially in comparison to OrganicMaps? My only complaint to OrganicMaps was the slowness to calculate a direction, which in part is certainly because the path is calcul

It won't cause more risks to privacy than either Facebook nor Google have done over recent years and yet there isn't as much comparable outrage as we see against Musk. The fact is that this is the only mainstream US media platform
