 This is probably the most insane prison documentary I've ever seen.

 It is crucial to implement proper encryption from the outset because even if decryption is currently infeasible, saving the hash allows for potential future decryption when suitable tools become available. 
 One of my favorite James Bond movies and favorite movie theme song.

 You may ask, How is this secure if we run our apps inside this app? Can’t you just manipulate my experience?

The answer is, I can’t. Each rendering is handled by your browser shell—no Iframe, no WebView—and it’s verifiable. https://image.nostr.build/deb373ff0b4516bf664db51af4288dc0fdd7e60d7daa4ba8b9ec28c7871c4d91.jpg  nostr:note1e572nzm9jt7e2w4fsng6wp6ntzk08gpfn4sh4j5xmhl34j62kczst6cqgn 
 Ability to organize and run All your web app within a single App, while also having access to not only extensions but also accounts you have logged in your browser in ZeroTrust manner, undoubtedly has many use cases.

Upcoming NostrNet version will incorporate all these capabilities while maintaining simplicity, security, lightweightness.

 Android, Mac, PC, and Linux will fully support extensions. iOS users can simply click a button when they need to log in; it will redirect them to the browser for login. 
 I once heard an astrophysicist explain why we haven't seen aliens. 

He suggested three possible reasons: 

First, aliens may not exist; 

Second, intergalactic travel could be too difficult, and no civilization has evolved enough for it; 

Third, the most frightening possibility is that they are all hiding from each other or from someone even more dangerous, and any exposed alien civilization gets destroyed. 
 Sounds interesting 🤔 
 I was just reading the summary of this book, absolutely love it, now I am looking for audio book

 US Navy detonates 40,000lb explosive to test the new warship.

I hope that bomb worked with renewables and all the operators were vegan!

 💯 
 Yeah, these underwater shockwaves rupture their organs. I'm not a military expert, so I don't know the alternative, but this seems like a very wrong thing to do.

 Hi. Freezing in South Carolina. 

#introductions 
 The upcoming Nostr Browser not only supports your browser extension but also integrates with all the accounts you're logged into on your browser. There is no migration process 🤙

All security aspects are handled by your browser APIs and rendering engine. 

At no point do you have to trust this app for anything.
https://image.nostr.build/fc49d00dfc8be532e93bec0a37aecb93f6dbfe364db97f51da45e5ecdf249242.jpg 
 I think, there is one very simple and organic way to solve the problem of content discovery and topics based feed, at least to some extent.

Just let users add tags to each note while posting, show auto-tag suggestions, and encourage them to do it. 

Then implement a web of trust to eliminate spam, and if the WOT is based on users' followings, that feed will become even more relevant.

Sooner or later, we have to categorize the content so people can start following topics and build communities around them.

It will be community-driven categorization of content, with no black box algorithms involved, and not that complicated to implement fir clients; 

Snort has already done some work in this direction & it also seems like a right direction. 
 The more clients implement this, the better the system will become. We can also add auto smart tag suggestions based on note content. These small changes will make adopting smooth.

If this is widely adopted by client & users, it will greatly improve user engagement. Snort was also heading in this direction.

 It's very interesting, I just started using it. 
 What if we make it one click & smart? 

As the user writes a note, the app could analyze the text and suggest tags based on content, possibly leveraging NLTK. We can config it to make suggestions more nostr specific.

I don't dislike AI; in fact, this dataset could significantly benefit recommendation algorithms. It will give it a try with my nostr note app. 🤔 
 I need the app to be lightweight, user-friendly, with a premium design that's easy to self-host. 

Goal is straightforward: open the app before your browser, and it should handle tasks 70% of the time. If you need the browser, switch with just one click. 

Right now you can customise font page App list in settings, more nostr integration coming soon. nostr:note1zsj8dsmyfv0qvs4rxdx9qyafjqcx4d97c290dav4wp8z95ga9khsvg483s 
 Interested in early testing? Try this PWA app to manage all your Nostr/Web apps in one place. It's functional but not fully ready. 

Give it a try, Share your ideas; I'll turn them into features. 🤜🤛

Note: It's a dev version (not even a beta), updates will be frequent.

It’s also hilarious because the actual solution is the exact opposite. America needs to talk with Iran.

 Common sense isn't common anymore 😞 
 good morning nostr, become unruggable 🫡 
 Good morning, have a wonderful day 🍀 
 Nostr LiteBrowser is getting ready.

How is this better than NostrNet.work?

First, it supports all WebApps. If a web app runs in a browser, it will also run in this.

No iframe, no WebView; it uses your actual browser engine and shell to render these web apps.

It's well-connected with all your PWA apps and browsers. In just one click, switch any web app to its personal PWA or in the browser.

Every user also gets their own very performant Lnbits wallet, which will be integrated with the marketplace, paywall, and voucher service. (You can also use your own instance)

This will be very useful for iOS users; it's also developed for the iOS WebKit.

Last but not least, it will come with a full Nostr Calendar, backups, and note integration.

I learned many things from NostrNet; this time, I want to do it in the right way. I will keep sharing the updates.

 Yes & very easy to host 
 I will share the code once it's ready

 The European Parliament and Member States have just reached an agreement on introducing the Digital Identity (EID). 

We're heading towards an Orwellian world. I mean, listen to Tony Blair. This is insane.

 A strategy of tension (Italian: strategia della tensione) is a political policy wherein violent struggle is encouraged rather than suppressed. 

The purpose is to create a general feeling of insecurity in the population and make people seek security in a strong government. 
 while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter give... 
 Exactly, content discovery is the key, users will automatically start building communities & content around it. We just have to build mechanism to bring similar content together. 
 No corporations, no government – everything here is built by independent devs, with an ethos of freedom. 

In just less than a year, Nostr evolved from a invoice spam feed to a very capable Clients and hundreds of Other Apps. 

It has been a fascinating journey so far! 🤍🕊️

 How do you store your protonmail password? 
 I have shifted from using passwords to passphrases, they are easier to remember and more secure. 

I also use Bitwarden as my password manager, but I am considering switching to Proton Password Manager. 
 By default, NostrSync fetches and broadcasts data from the top 100 relays, which is more than enough for almost everyone. 

With DeepSync, it performs the same task but with All Existing Relays, and it can also take a considerable amount of time.

 I have played on Jaster sometimes; it's a great app. I should probably become more regular there. 
 If you can't go to a gym because you're too "busy" and don't have equipment, you can still do a proper 20-30 minute workout in your room. 

Keeping your body healthy is the best form of kindness you can do for yourself.

 True, I also recommend running, it's really good for physical & mental health. 
 Good luck 🍀

 Octopuses are fascinating:

Diverging very early in the evolutionary tree, octopuses independently forged a narrative of intricate intelligence, distinct from mammals/human.

A compelling testament to nature's rich and varied cognitive tapestry.

Octopuses are very smart.

 Conor is rightfully angry. The Irish fought for their land and sovereignty for 800 years—a great nation with a rich history. 

Today, they're deceived by sellout politicians pushing undemocratic global agendas.

 The Nostr Micro Browser is almost ready. As I mentioned, you can't run it in a browser; you have to install it to use it.

So, are these instructions understandable? They are mainly for iOS users, while other users can install it in one click. 🤔
https://image.nostr.build/ab21b679b3fb7773c5638a4a15e353b51ae1ae481bab87e6668b6ce613679216.jpg 
 Just joined and testing out! 
 Welcome 👋

 Read the NIPs, it will provide you fundamental understand of the Nostr protocol, after that it's just problem solving.

 The code isn't public yet; I just saw the demo, and I believe it's rendering the same objects on the left and right with different camera settings. When the window moves, the x, y coordinates of the right object update in both renderings. 
 Animal welfare research organization, found that 84% of vegans are returned to eating meat. 😑

The study found that: 

One-third of the participants returned to eating meat within three months.

The remaining 50% returned to eating meat within the first year. 
 Industrial animal farming is one of the worst crimes we commit; it is very inhumane and immoral. 
 🎯 
 There are multiple studies, this one had 11,000 participants. 
 Wow, impressive 
 We really need a substantive discussion to establish basic moral standards for reducing animal suffering in the farming industry. 

Unfortunately, the issue has been hijacked by clowns, reminiscent of what happened with climate change.

Personally, I think we can do better, and collectively, we should strive to minimize suffering. 
 Education fills your head with information but intelligence is applying that info in the real world. 

It’s like having a library card—doesn’t mean you understand every book you read. ~Wise man 
 Fun fact: If you try to open a website that you have already installed as a PWA app, it will seamlessly open the app, just like it does with NoStrudel in this video. 

This is how you can manage all your websites, Nostr apps, and PWAs on one place, without making any compromises. nostr:note1jnj6r6x205pw6h4ms3nfjm6pcl3x547yex4x835xgpxxrgvldpes38tucs 
 My new Nostr Micro Browser app is almost ready. 

It utilizes the actual browser shell for rendering WebApps or any website with Nostr extension support—no Iframe or WebView. 

It includes Nostr Calendar, Nostr Notes, and seamless NostrNet integration. You can also add your custom Nostr/Web app. Coming soon.

 It's okay to feel that way. Maybe there are local groups or events where you can find like-minded individuals to connect with. 

Personally, whenever I feel something like this, I start traveling, it works for me, but of course, everyone is different, and we're also in very different stages of life.

Btw happy thanksgiving 🤍🕊️
