A block/distrust signal is very on par with wot implementations seen elsewhere, it’s just that what we call “nostr wot” is anemic, like we can’t even define varying levels of trust between follows.

Some clients show a protocol banner on posts coming from bridges.

You know what’s funny? Our phones have more processing power than Xeons from a few years ago, yet we’re indoctrinated into treating them like thin clients.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that IPv6 adoption was purposefully slowed down to negate proper infrastructure for p2p applications, since NAT and CGNAT do not impact client-server applications in any meaningful way.

Something something negative trust scores something something Web Of Trust.

I’m pretty sure everyone here’s on the spectrum and I’m not talking about electromagnetism.

This was a very on point use of this meme format. 💯

As long as their mastodon instance doesn’t block mostr, why not?

Remember that Matrix absorbed IRC communities like it’s nobody’s business and it all started with a humble bridge.

The smart answer is nobody really knows, but physical-chemical interactions seem to play a big role.

Science doesn’t even know how a bunch of atoms arranged together to form a living monocelular organism, let alone a complex system such as the human brain.

For all we know it’s all emergent behavior but we don’t know what we don’t know, and we shouldn’t naively ignore this fact when coming up with hypothesis.

I think life simply isn’t a solved problem, quantum entanglement still sounds like black magic to me and I wouldn’t put behind humanity figuring out some sort of “soul sensing machine” (very loose use of the therm soul here as a placeholder for an unknown unknown) in the future just like we can view radio waves in a spectrometer.

We don’t actually run software on our brains though. Even if we could, say, copy 100% of the memories of one biological brain into another, the resulting individuals would still be different from one another, consciousness can only be simulated by AGI, never truly experienced.

The fact that “copying individuals” is even possible with AGI further proves the fact that their “software/consciousness” isn’t inherently entangled to the commodity hardware they can be executed on.

Same applies to hypothetical 3d printed biological brain, you’re just pumping up the accuracy of the simulation.

Same case as animals, just because they aren’t human doesn’t mean acting like an asshole towards them is justified.
