Unfortunatly i think you are correct. If there is one thing these people cant stand it is stuff they cant controll. The moment you present them something that is actually open, they complain it does not comply with their endless list of requirements. Same thing with Bitcoin

If apps allow me to 'log in' with whatever Npub to check out that perspective; why can't i just do effectively the same thing while being logged in with my own nsec?
With a tiny bit of UI effort, it makes onboarding so much better because people can start out using their friends perspective; odds are they have similar friend and interests and they have direct access to that stuff.
Also, is there are 'you might also know/be interested in' DVM, that provides a list of suggested Npubs based on your current follow list, or perhaps better, selected lists?
Lastly, the current follow list is conflated; following and trusting an npub are not the same thing.
Now all this list flexibility does make things a bit more complicated (what happens when you press 'follow' for example, it would imply some dropdown menu asking you for what list this follow would apply), so how about a toggle between default 'simpleton' mode for how things work now, and a 'Nostr' mode that opens the door to do all these quintessential Nostr things?
Ideas are cheap, so here you go

The point is (i think) the platform server is this coherent database of 'all the things' (which is a lie, because its not all the things on the internet etc.etc.).
This means that there is a known state (i.e. 'global'), and subsequently a perspective on that state (the feed). Choosing your algo is therefor a differing perspective on the same thing.
In Nostr, gathering all the events is just as much a part of the process as the filtering is

I like 'event' because it implies an action in time; and because signing is a performance, this is correct.
As such an event implies it carriers its own context of actor(s) and time; which is also correct.
Event is the correct term, and as is always true, Dutch does it better, naming it: Gebeurtenis

NIP-03 specifies how to use Bitcoin Opentimestamps on Nostr events; the result is that you have a proof an event atleast existed at that time. If you apply this consistently, you can proof your older posts are indeed old.
The moment your key gets compromised, nothing stops an attacker creating events with bullshit timecodes, pretending to be old events from the past, eventhough they are just freshly created. But when you applied opentimestamps, the attack cant produce those (because it cant turn back (Bitcoin-)time), so i can never confincingly lie about your past, only lie about the present/future.
If you publish the fact that a key is compromized, and timestamp that; the attacker can no longer confincingly attack your future either.

People are worried about their keys getting compromised, and they want fancy systems.
Yet i dont see any of you timestamping your content, which regardless of how you handle moving to a future key, is needed to 'protect' all your existing content based on the old one.
Normalize timestamping before we do anything else

2025-02-04 08:47:34
As to what happens when keys get compromised:
The reason i basically dont awnser is because its is a complicated clusterfuck. My proposal would be to self publish your privatekey, and thereby put a lot of pressure on relays to start blocking your stuff. But you can imagine a million things.
But all if it involves crying to one degree or another.

I started out by saying its terrible, hard and it sucks; so that is the context to all of this.
My point with Bitcoin is mostly that its the first occurance of 'mass' addoption of keys, and as a result its also the first time an 'industry' is trying to figure out and develop sollutions for 'the masses'.
As well as that putting keys at the core of the system (i.e. being an expression of this paradigm i alluded to), has not been a show stopper for Bitcoin thusfar.
For completeness will mention, the use of keypairs for btc is wildly different than using it for Nostr; its a lot easier with Bitcoin. And still there and a lot if not most people dont hold their own coins.
As for the generational thing:
You misunderstand, i am not talking about the current 'young people in general'. The first cohort of this generational dynamic are the kids of Bitcoiners. The more normalized BTC becomes, the larger this cohort will be to the point its a 'general thing' kids will grow up with (perhaps to an extend this already the case and youngsters are all up in crypto-bullshit, i am a out of touch boomer in regards to such things)
Anyway, all of this stuff was put as 'mitigating' factors, not sollutions; the point is there are no 'sollutions'.
Now, do take note that people switch phone numbers, email adresses and what not in todays world, any many things go wrong all the time, identity theft already exists etc. etc.

The problem is not the nostr event/note, that already exists on multiple relays; and even if it were removed completely, it could be reuploaded at some later time. This is because nostr events/notes are self contained things, and people can verify them because they are signed and hashed.
To illustrate: lets say some archieologist digs up a harddrive with this thread on it, but the original post is not there, yet there are all these responces to this original post. And then 100 years later, someone digs up a clay tablet that has this particular OP written on it; this means they can solve this age old mystery because the event ID (which is a hash of the post itself) matches; They can verify that this was what everyone was responding to.
Now, the issue arives with the video. Because this event contains a link, and obviously that link will be broken, primal servers dont exist anymore in this far far future. In other words, we dont know what that video file is supposed to be, we only know where we were supposed to find it, and that place no longer exist; hence there is nothing to verify, even if you'd find the correct video in some other place.
We have a standard that adresses this (in theory for the most part, in practise its a bit of a different story due to lack of development/implementation), called blossom, which hashes files such that that is now how we reference them. I was just pointing out that this is not being used here, and therefore when the link dies, the nostr event might still exist but it became useless; if it referenced the hash of the video, the same "dig up a random clay tablet in some random place on some random time" principle would apply.
I.e. its the fundamental difference between referencing a thing directly, or referencing a location. The old web relies on location ; your email adress is @ (get it? "At") some domain, your instagram post is an instagram post because it 'comes from' instragram dot com etc. Nostr flips this on its head, puts the thing itself central using hashes as a naming scheme, and subsequently relies on 'hints'/'suggestions' as to where that thing may or may not be found; and if you can't find it, you can always go and look to see if you perhaps find it elsewhere, because you know what you are looking for and can verify that you found it.
Hope all of this makes some sense :)

Instead of sharing a https:// link, try the following
See that part behind the last /, that begins with 'note1'? That is the note ID.
Take that entire string "note1pgmgeq0v4qmgu6l3sqmha9fhng5q4prlp2myz2ufgaksnsvsqnyqf05ypw"
And put nostr: infront of it. This will result in the following
nostr:nevent1qqsq5d5vs8k2sd5wd0ccqdm7j5me52q2s3ls4djp9wy5wmgfcxgqfjq7z3yuf
Way better than a link to a webpage ;).
You can get the noteID directly in primal by selecting 'Copy note id'.
You should actually use nevent, but dont know how to get that in Primal, so i wont bother you with that for now.
PS, referencing a profile works the same way, but instead of using the noteID, you use the Npub.
Like such

Oh, this video can very much be taken down, by primal in fact. It is not a blossom video, just a regular old link "https: //m.primal. net/NvIK. mov", and that link can die. And then the video is gone🤷♂️.
The note containing that link will we a lot easier to keep alive though, for starters because it is on two relays at least; but it wont be of much use at that point now would it.
Now if it were a blossom upload, then it could still be taken down, but can be put back up elsewhere, and hopefully your client can figure out where to find it 🧐

Carrol Quigley had a great lecture series: "Public Authority and the State in the Western Tradition:
A Thousand Years of Growth, A.D. 976 - 1976”
In it, one of the themes is how technology determines the means of controlling other humans. Unfortunatly the recordings are utter shit. It has transscripts, but those are not 100% complete.
For what its worth:

Not the concern of the cattle; the ultimate revolution.

Wrightwood. Cal.
21 October, 1949
Dear Mr. Orwell,
It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book. It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is. May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution? The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual’s psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf. The philosophy of the ruling minority in Nineteen Eighty-Four is a sadism which has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it. Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. I have had occasion recently to look into the history of animal magnetism and hypnotism, and have been greatly struck by the way in which, for a hundred and fifty years, the world has refused to take serious cognizance of the discoveries of Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, and the rest.
Partly because of the prevailing materialism and partly because of prevailing respectability, nineteenth-century philosophers and men of science were not willing to investigate the odder facts of psychology for practical men, such as politicians, soldiers and policemen, to apply in the field of government. Thanks to the voluntary ignorance of our fathers, the advent of the ultimate revolution was delayed for five or six generations. Another lucky accident was Freud’s inability to hypnotize successfully and his consequent disparagement of hypnotism. This delayed the general application of hypnotism to psychiatry for at least forty years. But now psycho-analysis is being combined with hypnosis; and hypnosis has been made easy and indefinitely extensible through the use of barbiturates, which induce a hypnoid and suggestible state in even the most recalcitrant subjects.
Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large-scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds.
Thank you once again for the book.
Yours sincerely,
Aldous Huxley

Nothing is being co-opted thusfar, but to your point:
The geopolitcal arena of inter-state affairs is actually the most logical usecase for censorship resistant money ergo Bitcoin.
Case in point the sanctions on Russia and them being banned from swift and therefor the international banking system.
By its very nature Bitcoin, starting from 0 coins in circulation at a price of 0, required a grassroots bottomup ascendancy; but don't be confused, as it stands now, when addoption and use keeps growing, the 'plebs' will be priced out of use (in a sovereign way atleast), whilst the state-level usecase will remain, regardless if they happen to be the last in line to addopt.
But thats last bit has a large technical component, which might (hopefully) change (a bit).

Could a slider or something for possitional resolution be a thing? Perhaps with rough markers like 'precise, city, province, country, continent' markers? How hard would it on the other end to interpret/handle all those various sized strings.
If that is too difficult to manage, you'd have to compare to some list of 'locations' with coordinates for cities, provinces etc, though it would result in weird clusters of stuff all being in 1 particular location which could look weird.
Ok im done thinking about this, nvm

And 'we' will, for it is not illegitimate, their 'demands' are fair and reasonable; but the issue arrises that they deem their bells and whissles as a minimal viable requirement. As a result they will put it in whatever base protocol they come up with on the one hand, and only begrudgingly build it on top of another protocol if it turns out that is the direction the world is going.

What would have happenend instead is an over-spec'd base protocol as a result of internal politicing.
Its not just that 'lefty' people want moderated environments for themselves and are happy to let everyone else be; they will haunt you to the ends of the earth to gain some sort of controll, or the idea of controll, because only then can they rest easy.
Never get into a situation where these people can veto what you do, because it is a prayer without end before they are satisfied.
The only option is to confront them with a fait accompli that they can optimize for their own preferences, but simply can't dictate outside of that.

Kind1 will be the thing that holds it all together, combined with alt-tags.
The friction to switch between apps is already so low, which is actually one of the 'unique selling points' of Nostr, so we should leverage it

What is the argument, im confused.
Are you refering to note vs nevent?
Or nostr:nevent vs https:njump ?
Because if it is the latter, i did not even bother to respond the first time, but non of the nostr clients understand https: references as a reference to a note, just as a reference to a webpage, that contains that note.
Whereas all the clients do understand a https://......mp3/webm/mp4/jpg and render it.
So id say no, the same argument cant be made. It would have been true if all the clients understood https://...nevent but nostr:nevent would have been some new thing that was introduced later

How did you back up your key?
As far as i am aware primal does not give you this option, but other clients do:
You can store your key with a password in a 'ncryptsec'. That way it is easier to store (because even if someone gets it, they still need to know the password).

It lacked a space in between i think. In general doing it via @[name] will work if your app suggests the ID. Like sleepy mentioned, the manual way is rather simpel. Its just:
nostr:[whatever it is you are referencing, be it nprofile or nevent]
Without the brackets, obviously.
Now i mention 'nprofile' instead of 'npub' (to reference a person) and 'nevent' instead of 'note' (to reference a post), because each is better respectively. This is because nprofile includes the npub via encoding, but also relay hints that clients can use to figure out where to find that information; the same goes for nevent vs note. Npub and note are just the bare reference, and clients wont neceserally know where to look to fetch that stuff.
Now, just using nostr:npub or nostr:note will probably work, because its both a small network at this point, and because most people reading your things will be inside your own little network or close to it, so clients will probably already be aware. Nevertheless, it is better hygiene if you start using nprofile and nevent consistently.
This was your daily information overload, have a nice day.

What i miss in his story is that the investment thesis/pitch always was, from day one, to gather users and undermine competition through subsidization until 'TINA' was achieved; from which moment on monetization could be ramped up.
This was explixitly the case, its not a secret. I dont see why he bothers to talk around this. His statement that they needed to make money from the get go is demonstrably false. 'Enshittification' was/is caused by VC, because it was those types of investments that allowed for the strategy to begin with. If his 'hot take' is that they deployed legal means to increase their moat....sure, i guess.
What i don't think the business logic and CEO's accounted for was how it would put them into a geopolitical play-thing situation, which is probably more than what they bargained for.

The 'innitial' link is there for convenience, and there is no reason to not have it;
Other than that perhaps it creates lazyness in terms of implementing what ought to be implemented

A kid friendly app is doable, but i recon it will take a while before we get there; by its very nature it has a large amounts of requirements to serve its purpose well.
It is something that is in the back of my mind a lot though, not just content filtering, but also restrictions with what people they can connect/interact, based on your own social network as a parent for example.
I really think we can build seemingly 'open' online enivornments that are not dull, for kids of a wide range of ages to explore and interact in a safe manner full of interesting, entertaining and usefull content.
The reason i say 'open', is because i think the crucial part in all of this is that they dont have to all use the same app, and need to be in the same 'environment'/silo with the same rules. The kids with the strict parents and the ones with the more liberal parents can still interact with eachother regardless what app to the extend the 'policies' overlap. This mitigates the FOMO, alienation etc. dynamics that are ruthless among kids, and will undermine any attempt to 'shelter' them otherwise.
In this context they can gradually as they get older, work their way towards the 'no guardrails' hellscape that is the open internet.

As many mentioned is deleting a matter of requesting relays to delete your post, so no guarentees there (but frankly it will probably work).
As for the edits. There are different types of 'events'(what we call a note/post) called 'kinds'. There are simple tekst notes, long-form posts, picture posts, cooking recipes, agenda items, profile information, your follow list, chess-matches, etc. etc.
What you are currently using is kind 1, its the most basic of the basic tekst note. The idea is that those are not editable, this is because edits are technically complicated, and we want to keep kind 1 superduper simple. Now because nobody is actually in controll, there is an app that allows you to edit them, but all the other apps will ignore it; you are better off ignoring that feature.
Other types of notes, such as the long-form one, you can edit and that is explicitly part of the specification.
Every 'kind' had its use, and kind 1 is the univerally understood note for simpel messages. Dont fuzz too much you cant edit those. Want to write a longer more involved post, that has a title, headers etc. and the ability to edit? Try an app like yakihonne, it will allow you to make such 'events'.
Best of luck on your Nostr journey
