I'm done with Apple. Got rid of my iPhone and back on android (GrapheneOS) and very impresses after playing with Omarchy for a few weeks.

I think we will keep reading more and more of these Apple stories and it feels like shit is getting worse as time goes by

What the hell are you talking about? What forbids?

The idea of nostr is that you can do whatever the you like. An open protocol. There is no forbidding of anything

Great stuff

I found the bundle scripts already prefer VULKAN_SDK/VULKAN_SDK_ROOT, but the build script only scans ~/VulkanSDK

If you want decentralized you need freedom in clients.

There are a lot of pretty good nostr clients: Primal, Amethyst, X21.social, Yakihonne, Nostrudel, Jumble. And most of them are OSS

Two things reading this post:

* i'd love to hear a sample/customer call. Even if it's just a test

* a blog without rss? How can i subscribe for part 2?

Cool stuff. You should make it OSS and ask a one time fee for it. I would run it on my own infra but pay you once(.com)

tmux too.

Trying workmux with claude. Really cool combo

Incorrect.

Everyone can announce to the network where they read/write from. Clients can figure out (based on the people you follow) from which relays to get the content.

I've been using it like this for nearly a year. It works

Key difference is that is one relay author becomes "oligarchical" the notes just route around that (through different relays).

It doesn't work like that.

Your followers fetch the note from your relays. You tell the network where they can find your notes (self hosted relay) and their client will take the effort to find your content

I'm building a Nostr app (+- 2mio notes). There is a lot of spam and much worse content.

But it's kinda a solved problem (not through PoW) but through Web of Trust and not having algorithms. You see what the people/communities you follow post.

> I tried Nostr but like a lot of people here have been saying, it falls short in many ways due to the way it is structured. Relays are not really relays, they are more but also less. They are like community servers. Sure you can connect to many, have the same UI, but they are still disjoint and feels lonely.

I'd like to know more. Imho the fact that relays are dumb is a feature.

> You keep saying you can sign your messages and there is value there to people who are saying it is censorable in the ways they described.

All messages are signed. There is no way NOT to sign a message. This comes with the advantage that you don't need to trust the relays/pipes where messages go through which is an immense benefit

> This is not a personal thing, I want to like Nostr and I tried using it. I can and would probably get some use out of using it as a pubsub or message delivery infrastructure for two things I want to connect but what if the relay goes down? It is like a centralized pubsub messagebox thing. But can't even do that fully.

Relays go down all the time. There was an experiment where a major relay (Damus) just deleted the entire dataset. People barely noticed. And as any client (not just the author) and other relays can re-broadcast events the relay eventually recovers.

> There needs to be some sort of relay to relay communication (actual relaying) that needs to go on. And that wouldn't scale, even if it would work for now.

There are three mechanisms that do that:

- clients posts to multiple relays - clients/followers can rebroadcast notes (to other relays) - quite a few relays are syncing (negentropy sync)
