"What's worth making?" with Hal Abelson, one of the most influential people in my life.

A driving force behind the Free Software Foundation with Stallman, Creative Commons with Lessig, OpenCourseWare, and many others, Professor Abelson has long worked for freedom. There's a lot to learn from him.

Primal is nice but feels so much more corporate. Why am I asked for a subscription as soon as I launch? Feels antithetical to what nostr is supposed to be. The very concept that we have to subscribe to everything these days is indicative to the loss of ownership we all secretly suffer. We borrow music, we don’t own it. We borrow movies, we don’t own them. Freedom will come from owning again. Bitcoin is about owning. nostr is about decentralization where no one entity controls any part of it. I’m sure I’m speaking into a void, since that’s what nostr feels like. But hopefully someone somewhere will agree that what the world doesn’t need is more subscription services. People need to own things again.

@npub1sg6pl... I made a thing. Happy belated.

Is there something like BGP for nostr #relays? For a client connected to multiple relays, it would be interesting for a broadcast of the best relay to use at a given time (or which to avoid if a relay is suboptimal)
