Panel asking what nostr doesnt fix?
Relay centralisation could enable censorship, and the UI asking users to manage private keys is tricky.
Could one app become a centralisation choke point? They say no. Agreed. Nostr has very good migration here, if one app goes bad it's easy to move.
Privacy is not solved here, since almost all content is public anyway, by design. But since so users have public keys, it's a step towards enabling privacy. Agreed, and at least clients won't generally spy on every mouse click and scroll pause.
No mention of the thing I think most important, that censorship resistance means poor moderation that means bullying, spam, and harassment. That's tricky to solve I think. The fediverse model seems more suitable for good moderation.

I just did early sign up to two Monterey Car Week events (by the end of December to save on the registration). Along with GGLC members we will be taking our Lotus Elise to The Paddock on Friday Aug 14th afternoon and our Fiat 124 Spider with Fiat America to Concorso Italiano on Saturday Aug 15th. If anyone is registering a car this month and doesn’t have a discount code, DM me. #WeirdCarMastodon

> Microsoft will eventually cave and do the funniest thing imaginable: they’ll ship a Windows themed Linux distro that can run Windows executables out of the box using Wine, and discontinue support for Windows proper.

Ukraine risks losing key partner or its dignity, warns Zelenskyy,
as Trump sets Thanksgiving deadline to accept deal
US president says ‘Thursday is an appropriate time’ in radio interview as Ukrainian leader weighs up US proposal

and said European leaders would hold discussions on the US-drafted proposal on Saturday.

Angor is a crowdfunding protocol for nostr and bitcoin.
Dan here is building it. Kickstarter without middle men.
Accountability is key. What stops the fund raiser just fleeing with the coin?
Funds are programmed to be released in stages, time locked in a multisig.
So if they aren't meeting milestones, investors can withdraw. If the founders are buying lambos instead of building, just cash out at that point.
Permissionless and decentralised, no servers except nostr relays and bitcoin nodes. No third party's claiming 30 percent fees. The system is a nostr client scanning relays for investment object types. Allowing investment into the funding contracts and subscription to updates.

Flesh and blood alone cannot halt the advance of iron and steel.
To stop the tanks, we need people to place blocks on the road
and throw sand into the gears.
