Britain has some of the most expensive electricity in the world amd despite billions being stolen to fund favoured suppliers of 'renewable' energy sources, right now wind and solar account for 18.4% of our electricity and we're paying the frogs to generate 7.2% of our power.
In the home of the industrial revolution.

It's because they don't come from a place of principles. I adhere to the NAP, amd as such, my views on violence stem from that basic principle. They have no grounding, no basic moral framework to operate from, so to them there's no objective right or wrong, only what is expedient to their current narrative. It makes knowing them impossible to predict beyond knowing that they're unpredictable.

Which means trade, such as it'll be, will remain very small scale and limited, and there's no way out of the inevitable poverty. I wonder if the difference between Iran and here in the UK would be that our infrastructure would be too dependent on the Internet to cut it off - the costs would be too high for everyone including those welding that power. Perhaps that's the case in Iran too and they'll yield eventually.

2026-01-18 19:46:05 UTC

I have no idea exactly how I'd react in a similar situation, but I'd imagine dropping right back to Barter would be the easiest near time solution, but then using Gold in the ongoing absence of the Internet would be the next best bet.

I wouldn't have been very happy about that. I still think relays need to be doing more to combat that problem. I'll check nosey out in a bit and see if there's lessons there I can take back to Plume.

I'm working part time for a large very well known charity, supporting young homeless families to develop life skills they need to be able to manage the day to day grind of raising a little human and managing a household.
They come from a variety of different backgrounds and have a variety of different attitudes, expectations and outlooks on life.
We were asked to pick a specialism recently - I chose education, because I really think it's one of the most important things they can do, for themselves and for setting an example for their wee kids.
Trouble is, hardly any of them are even remotely interested.
I've told them, it doesn't matter if it's learning a new thing by watching a YouTube video, or going to college or Uni and developing marketable skills. Just get on and learn.
I want a new way to encourage and motivate them.
Apparently I'm not aloud to use a cattle prod.
Is there anyone on #nostr with any experience guiding young people in to education? Any thoughts or insights that might help.
Again, cattle prods are out. Gotta be more inventive.

I'm going to update search on Plume - I think it can be made a lot better - npub search is generally pretty reliable but I've even had trouble with that once or twice. That might be next weeks project, when I've fixed all the other bugs I've created.

Search is such a weird thing on #nostr.
I'm finding it challenging enough getting it to work well in Plume tbh, which is funny because I just tried to tag the Plume acc and it didn't find it.
This was my search returns on #Amethyst when I tried to search for Pegah - note I only got as far as the Pe, everything after that was even more innacurate.
What have the rest of the returned results got to do with what was entered? Nothing, as far as I can tell.

According the the offcom nonsense in the UK any platform offering encrypted messaging will have to incorporate client side scanning which will kick in before encryption. Obviously that means zero privacy.
Well, Plume is only used by me and they don't need to know what I'm saying to other people, since I'm not a criminal, so they're welcome to fuck off.
And then they're welcome to fuck off some more.
Then a bit more.

When I first created an Ebay account, the news was full of people saying 'wow, I got this bargain' because they'd won an auction which had been put in thebwrong section and so not seen by loads of people.
There was a chance to snag a bargain.
My entry on Twitter came about after I got in an argument on FB then found out a load of mental communists were sharing posts on twitter and encouraging people to give me shitbon FB. So I went and slagged them off where they were.
My entry to FB came about because they were no established kings of social media yet and a few of my mates were on there, but it didn't pick up steam for several years and the account was almost barren for the first few.
Lots of different platforms, lots of different reasons.
None of it was about 'adopting' a particular network. Each came with a reason.
What's gonna snag people and get them here?
Are you going to consider it a failure if someone doesn't immediately make it their primary social media method?
There's loads of big expectations on #nostr.
Let's tame them a bit.

Giving more thought to yesterday's post about the UK government's attacks on privacy.
All telecommunications are likely to be impacted. I said months ago that WhatsApp etc had already bent the knee - obvious when Apple pulled their privacy service from the UK after demands were made, but none of the others did.
What I wonder is, how secure will NIP17 DMs be? We really need to know how they're implementing this.

I'm going to make some more follow packs for Plume today, or soon - they'll always show first when loading follow packs within the site, deliberately.
I'd like to put a few together based on interests, namely;
Crafting
Fishing
Boating
Travelling
Cooking
Can you recommend people for any of those? I'll add more later, but I'm going to start trying to bring people in soon so I want to get this right.
Also, going to update the Plume feed to show other nostr apps after every so many posts. As it is, after every 10 posts, a discovery carousel is injected, showing a random selection of the other stuff nostr users do.
It works better than I expected, as I've found a few good follows as a result.

I'm inclined to disagree, if I may offer a quote to start:
'The purpose of a system is what it does'
I'd argue that it's a bad thing, in and of itself. In a system where opting out is a choice, and where you agree to be bound by the result of a vote once you've committed to it, that's fair enough, but what we have is the ability to decide who will kick us in the shins and stamp on our feet while shaking our hands.
