Thing is, it's a popular and well known meme that once something is online, it exists forever and is impossible to destroy or delete.
It's because digital deletion is hard and expensive and no one will pay for that. Yet cloud services backup, replicate and archive data like it was free candy.
Data that was recoverable remotely is still a bit of a big blunder to be honest, but just know that where there is a will, there is a way, there's no real such thing as data deletion.

Who tf did it make wealthy? Almost all service providers and custodians giving you usernames and passwords did better by a mile.
And nobody pushed these technologies (like cashu) as the solution. These are all just explorations and stepping stones until someone finds the perfect mix if these technologies and ideas that can solve a real problem when it arises.
The idea of "don't invent fire, wait until it gets cold to think about fixing it" is dumb. Humans are curious tinkerers and everything we value today has been the product of many many small meaningless contributions pieced together by a "genius".

Oh I didn't know about murdoku, I thought it was related to sudoku.
Cracking the cryptic is a couple of old dudes doing sudoku-like puzzles but they are way more advanced.
They put a link to the puzzle at the top of their videos so I've progressed from watching them, trying to solve them while watching them, and now just trying to solve them.

Afaik, the only way to get reasonable photos on Google phones is with their official apps. Unless someone figured out how to reverse engineer it and get its secret sauce out?
No third party camera app could produce even a reasonable photo by comparison on my pixel 9 pro.
I would love to remove the Google camera app.

Very interesting. There are many other places we can see this type of control. I wonder if there is a word for it?
if they don't support it:
- You can't pay with bitcoin
- You can't pay with a credit card
- You can't use airplay (until recently it seems)
- You can't cast without google play services
- You can't pre process captured images from your pixel phone unless you use google camera.
- You can't login to your favorite website over a know VPN exit node.
I'm sure some of my examples can be ignored, there's a subtle line between can't support and won't support or don't yet support.
The line is clearly crossed when they did support and now they don't and without good reason.

It does if a person is introduced to Nostr by the platform, not the other way around.
So a user would start by using accounts. Multiple platforms with different accounts. Then they learn Nostr can do something that they like (like a Nostr standardised backup) or reach someone that they didn't realise they could.
Just to enable that experience, the platform needs to sign and publish on your behalf.
That is why. Because not everyone will join Nostr first, but if a platform they use uses Nostr and the feature it provides is beneficial, the user might want to explore Nostr but we should reduce the friction of having to start over.

You basically said Nostr relays is like if you post on Facebook, I go to Facebook to find your content and if Bob posts on X, I go to X...
Well, right now, relays are not websites, they are dumb relays and no one can figure out which relays they should point to.
If a relay was actually a website, designed for publishing... Like a website that helps you edit and publish photos, and it just had a Nostr API, that feels like what you were saying, and feels like it solves the "what is a relay" confusion too

Is there a sensible way to link npubs? Either from the client side or publisher side.
My thought is that additionally to owning npubs, you could publish from platforms with their own delegate keys and you could endorse its npub as your own.
So then if someone wanted to follow me and I was publishing through a number of services, then they would see all of my content as if it were from me.
I think this would be super powerful. It diverges from "not your keys", but you can own a master key that only endorses and possibly revokes keys, it could provide a timespan, "this was my key from Jan 2020 till Jan 2026" (and I know timestamps are forgable, but ots could help with that too).
And for the complexity of having a hot key like an nsec bunker, ready to sign on your behalf, that can be replaced with accounts for people who want or need them.
I think we'd need a spec about this and then a common way of presenting this on clients.
This idea came after listening to a podcast with @nprofile…nj27.

I almost started building my own budgeting app before I caught myself and looked for existing apps first.
One thing that is tempting is that many apps online are functional, and even though I'm terrible at ui and ux and design, I know when I enjoy using an app and all the devs are like me, they can't design for shit.
AI can scratch that itch in a few minutes.
The best thing is probably to take an existing app, beutify it and raise a pull request.

So Ledger asked CryptoBillis to stop selling... So they were an ENDORSED reseller.

I'm not sure when it started but I've been using simpmusic (fucking terrible name) for music and it stops playing in the background. It stops playing when I switch over to a different app or when I close the screen.
I fixed it by turning on exploit protection compatibility mode.
I never had to do that before. I don't know if it's a regression on GrapheneOS or on simp music, but I suspect it is graphene OS.

The only thing you lose is the deniability that a nostr post was sent to a relay by its author.

2026-09-07 13:05:09 UTC

- reply

Its a compromise. You trust a nostr relay to keep something from others on your behalf.
Best case, you only auth on your own server. That is pretty good privacy.
Encryption is obviously the peak, but some things can't be encrypted: metadata, access logs, maybe private messages that can't be encrypted for some reason.
That's the stuff you want auth for.
To be fair, most nostriches treat a relay's ability to perform AUTH as a signal that it is trustworthy. We should probably use some other metric for trustworthiness and culturally make it popular.
