Well sure you're "technically" supposed to be able to port your ID to another server. How well that works in practice, I wouldn't know. Everyone on Nostr seems to think that's a big issue, whereas most people in the Fediverse seem to think that's a "solved problem", so...

They're basically trying to "bluff" the markets? I guess?

This sentiment expresses my continuing (and controversial, apparently) belief that we need to build better bridges to the Fediverse. Their problems are largely our problems, and their success or failure as the only de-facto decentralized social network that has achieved meaningful scale will be our success or failure as well.

Yeah, this makes sense... The idea of the "unbiased journalist" is a bit Quixotic to begin with, nobody is without bias... Even if one attempts to report the news without bias, the act of story selection itself expresses revealed priorities.
Being clear about a "point of view" when reporting the news is a good thing, rather than trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

I've been doing a lot of side-by-side play testing of #Amethyst and #Wisp... An impression that I had of the latter was that the interface felt too crowded somehow.
I couldn't exactly figure it out until I took these screenshots... As it turns out, Amethyst had a white-space indent on the left side of each feed (highlighted).
Somehow that makes it feel less "crowded" and easier to read quickly, for me at least...

Innovation always loses the investment race to conventional technologies.
The conventional engineer can provide performance specs, metrics, etc... i.e. actual numbers for what the thing she's building will ultimately look like.
The innovation engineer can't give any of that... Because _nobody's_ built what she's planning to build. She has to hope that the vision of what's possible outweighs the fundamental knowledge gaps of the present.

I'm probably going to be the only one here to say: Be careful with that.
I have plenty of heterodox ideas and lifestyle practices, some of which overlap with the Nostr audience (freedom tech, libertarianism, etc) and others that don't (urbanism).
But in lots of cases, being on the cutting edge means being on the "bleeding edge" -- lots of stuff that's on the frontier just doesn't work that well, and can be fraught with danger.
You always have to keep in mind: *Most* settlers of a new land wind up not surviving. Do I think I'm part of the special 1% who will? Is that belief well-founded, or is it hubris?

I get it... Throughout most of this century, coding was the pathway to a high-income job affording middle-class or better status in one the wealthiest parts of the USA (SF Bay area).
Coders worked in environments where they got to show up at 11, tell off their bosses when they felt they were crossing ethical lines, explore creative side-projects, publish their work as open-source projects... And if the "suits" didn't like it, an engineer could say "see ya," slip on their Crocs and stroll over to the company next door.
All that's changing now, not just from AI but other economic factors, and it's going to come as a "generational" shock to this class.

I've been thinking about something like this for decentralized location sharing... It would probably be a custom "kind" but you would have your phone post an encrypted geohash to relays, with a level of precision defined by whomever you wanted to see it.
For instance you could just share "city-level" details with certain people ... Allow you to know if someone's "in town".
Or with more select people you share exact location
Phone posts it periodically to relays as a custom kind

Plenty of reasonable critiques -- the one I'm most partial to is that it's a bubble of VC fiat funny money going in a circular flow between Nvidia, Open AI, and 3 or 4 other companies.
Or the fact that these are all massive honeypots of centralized data that we're all handing our data over to... And once the VC money parade runs out, and they can't afford to paper over their losses on data center construction, they'll need to (a) start monetizing all the secrets people have been whispering into their ChatGPT prompts, and (b) massively nerf the performance/cost ratio.
In other words, your basic garden-variety enshittification.

Well how I would envision this it would be a separate "kind" because otherwise it would clog up people's NIP-17 DM inbox... So it would be "opt-in" in that sense.
You would publish the information encrypted only to the people whom you wanted to see it. And then they'd have to have a client that would fetch that data.

2026-03-08 00:41:44 UTC

Well yeah I can attach a geohash onto a note (on Amethyst for instance) but I don't want to broadcast it publicly....
So it would probably be a specialized "kind" that's encrypted with the public key of all the npubs I would want to have that information.

2026-03-08 00:36:42 UTC

Been thinking about this... any way of doing a kind of private geohash "matching" on Nostr?
Like you would periodically publish a geohash (with a precision you define), encrypted with the private key of the people with whom you want to share that level of location with.
You could (say) broadcast a city-level location geohash to npubs that you might want to get a beer with if they happen to be in town, without broadcasting to the entire network....

Yeah the original games were great, they were really unconventional for at least two reasons, (a) they were originally released only on Mac OS, which by the mid-90's was decidedly not "the gaming platform", and (b) they employed a vastly more imaginative palette in terms of monsters, environments and storylines than anything else out there.
The competitor was Quake, which while technically more advanced in its 3D, had (a) Zero plot and (b) had like 4 colors in it's palette.... browns & blacks for dungeons and bright red for gore.
I've been out of the FPS game for most of this century (hah), but from what I can see, Marathon just looks different from anything else out there, at least in terms of its aesthetic -- and that gives me hope that it really is a sort of spiritual successor

2026-03-07 18:08:51 UTC

With the release of the new Marathon, I just ran across this amazing cinematic they put out almost a year ago... IDK if I'll ever actually play these games, multiplayer FPS is something I was never that good at... But the aesthetic is absolutely amazing, sort of a "posthuman cyberpunk."
Having played the original games, I'm also curious how the lore gets repacked in this sequel.

Yeah I've beaten this drum before but I think Mastodon, as the largest (de-facto) decentralized social media protocol, is key here.
Honestly for *most* people who (aren't far-Right and) want to leave legacy social media, Mastodon is probably the best choice. Nostr's just too small and technically demanding for large scale adoption at the moment.
But in the long term, permissionless monetization is what will pull people here... Once the network gets to a certain size, influencer types will be able to make more money here with zaps than Elon's "affiliate" program or any other centralized platform.
In the meantime we can (and should) interoperate with Mastodon while that network grows.
