I don't think that building wells in countries with corrupt governments is evil. I do agree with points in your older post about all of the able bodied people leaving for greener pastures in foreign countries being a problem, and just throwing infinite aid at them, i.e. a bunch of clothing that destroys their local markets. You need capital to build certain kinds of infrastructure and if their local governments are too corrupt or inept to do it themselves, then it isn't a bad thing for a third party to step in and help.

I have been critical of media my whole life, starting probably somewhere in high school. I don't see that ever changing, it's hard to go back. Usually through some humor and sarcasm, I have really tried to challenge friends and family on what good tv, movies, music, and books are. Or other topics on religion, politics, etc. I don't think I've ever gotten anywhere with anyone except them being annoyed with me.
The people I've been able to find that are similarly critical of the world around them are extremely few and far between. I would likely be alone if I filtered out those who are not critical.
Would I be doing them a disservice to keep these thoughts to myself? Am I accomplishing anything? I do pick on the women I date, and they ~usually~ like it 😂

I agree with you, to be cynical is to look at the world honestly. I would feel like a fraud if I went around blindly accepting everything fed to me. But me talking shit about some movie my girlfriend likes just makes her feel bad for no real reason.

I am a very cynical person and it is the number one thing I would like to change about myself. I have felt bad countless times after criticizing something and later learning the person I was with really enjoyed that thing.

On the one hand it is already incredibly useful, but on the other I don't see it going much further without another major breakthrough. Do we even want general intelligence? Or will specialized ai suffice. I had it one shot a chrome extension the other day, it was a pretty simple extension, but still amazing a single prompt can create 3 files that make a perfect functioning extension. The code is as concise and simple as possible. My dad is a professional fiction editor, in his 60's and even he has adopted it for daily work.

Despite the incredible power of media companies in the US, they have completely failed to stop torrenting. The only proof you need that a decentralized open protocol cannot be shut down or censored. It is the only way to protect yourself as a social platform.

At what point did people decide talking is bad? It used to be common sense that discussion could often avoid conflict, but now it's somehow a bad thing.

I was thinking about the value of sats in an algorithm and also concluded that if it too heavily favored zaps it would be easy for advertisers to manipulate. Its hard to create an algorithm that is resilient against manipulation. Nostr is niche enough that it hasn't become a big problem yet. Could a user score of some kind be useful in that regard

2025-08-09 01:19:06 UTC

Do nostr dm's serve as an alternative to signal? It seems even better since it's decentralized, it would difficult for a government to shut down access.

i'm not concerned with follower count at all or inflated metrics. i regularly delete accounts. its more so just the annoyance of notification spam from people following and then unfollowing the next day. its an annoying gaming of the system. example: npub10stmgzyf6yeqs00wru0s3lmu262jd5x6g6l6dam7k5warff0qj9q4y25jt

Music is no longer designed as part of an artistic piece. It is designed to fit into specific spotify playlists. You can't take risks, because if it doesn't fit a genre, it doesn't make it into playlists. Spotify is killing music imo
