It's impossible to tell whether Trump tweets are real from screenshots because what he actually says is usually as retarded as what someone making fun of him would say. Bad grammar included.
The only way is checking his X or Truth Social profile.

> but i think that AI-assisted coding (ex: ai agent wrote a patch) is good

I disagree, I think it's bad with few exceptions, not good with few exceptions.

I'm of the opinion that knowing how to write code (not just review it, write it) helps shape your formal thinking, because the formal language you are using is better suited for the task than natural language and if you need an LLM to "help you" it means you don't understand what you are doing well enough, else it wouldn't really be of much help.
Of course, in a big project you may not understand all parts, but I think there is a benefit to all parts having been written manually. When you do read code in those parts, you can try and understand the intention behind them and the thoughts of the authors who was thinking that code. I don't care to know who the author specifically is, but there needs to be one for this to be possible, same as with a book.
Because it's quite hard to know whether you actually understood a bit of code correctly, I think preserving our ability to write it, and doing so, is what we need in order to know that, collectively, we do understand system in whole.

Furthermore, I value the creation of projects enough as an artistic human feat that I think the relatively small advantage of using LLMs isn't worth giving that up even partially.

> AI completions are fine too, to me, it's literally just "smarter autocomplete" on what i was going to write anyways

Personally I'm for using code completion (not AI-based) if I can essentially use it blindfolded and know exactly what characters it will write.
Visual Studio (proprietary, I know, but a great IDE technically) has always been great at it with its flagship language (currently C#).

This is very odd, by the way.

It could be very easily avoided by parsing handles and replacing them with an internal ID upon storage. It would be trivial and the user would never need to see it.

The fact that some platforms don't do this and just store notes as dumb plain text is really odd to me.

This hacker, Alyssa Anne Rosenzweig, from 2021 (and ending in 2025), as an Asahi Linux developer, reverse engineered the Apple GPU for the purpose of porting Linux to the Apple M1 processor. Kudos to her!

Then, satisfied, she stepped away from the Apple ecosystem (good choice!).

Same for me.

Just a static website, the only server it requires is a dumb HTTP server (it needs to be hosted, you can't just open the HTML file, but there is no server-side script) and, of course, Nostr relays.

That's because I have a Reddit account. Yeah, that's me.

The issue with Primal is much of what it does is decentralized. And some of its features don't even use the Nostr protocol.
It's, at least in part, a centralized platform that happens to use Nostr as a database.

> I'm not against moderation as long normal users are aware what is going on.

I think users should be fully in control.

I know I am because I am using my own client right now, so I know what it does, because I wrote it.

I'm not arguing everyone should write their own client, but everyone should be nearly in as much control as if they did.

In general, I think it would benefit the ecosystem if users of Nostr knew well how it works. The better they know and understand it, the better.

On Nostr you can use multiple relays. Even without the outbox model we can communicate if we share at least one relay that allows us to communicate.
On Mastodon you depend on your one admin that you picked and we can communicate only if both of our admins allow us to. To address this you can have multiple Mastodon accounts, of course. The advantage of Nostr is you can reach others with just one account and no one person can ban you.

So it's going in the exact way it's started, everyone being free to do about whatever they fuck they want to.

Did you even read the early specification? If not, why not?
It's been clear from day 0 that both clients and relays can do what they want.

What matters is that users can also do what they want.

If a client does something you don't want it to, why would you ever use that client?
Everyone can develop a client.
If you are a programmer, write your own fucking client. If you are not a programmer, use a client that does exactly what you want it to.

On a centralized platform, say Facebook or Twitter, the user is a slave to the platform owner. You can't pick your server, there is one server. You can hardly modify the client and doing so will likely breach some TOS agreement.

Nostr is described by many as "not a platform", but it is one ecosystem in the same way each big centralized platform is.
You can pick whatever relays you want and have your client interact with them however you want.

What you never had a right to do, on Nostr or anywhere else, is get people that don't want to read your stuff read your stuff. People can avoid you if they think you aren't worthy of their time.

Censorship hamper communication that is desired by the two participants.
If you write something on X and I want to read it, and you want me to read it, but it offends Elon Musks sweet fragile tiny little fefes, Elon Musk can ban that post.

If you write something on Nostr and I want to read it, I can read it.
The only scenario where a client will hide it from me is one where I use that client because I don't give a shit what you have to say and I actually don't want to read it.

Unless I'm retarded to the fucking point of using a client that acts against my interests. But no protocol solves the issue of morons acting against their own interests.

The fact that there are people who are able to write in a language that uses the Latin/English alphabet but cannot write or even read cursive, or hardly can and regard cursive as "fancy" is an abomination.

Some of these people also write by hand. Writing by hand in print feels rather odd.
