I think I will only reply with a 🎃reaction for halloween. It'll be up to everyone else to decipher my reaction. React with the appropriate emoticon to show support.

I would really like for time to slow down.. Or stop.

I love this time of the year 🎃 - I try to watch some classic or new spooky films, or just some interesting films or series. Anyone going to watch anything Recommendations? Thinking of Night of the living dead or The Shining #movies #Halloween

how about no? can't they get their AI to accurately figure this out based on my habits/likes/my conversations? or do they just want to collect more data about their userbase, the userbase that makes the platform useful in the first place. I'm guessing it's the second reason.

One great thing about #nostr is that I can post long notes while on X this ability is pay-walled. That's X's loss.

We all have a little cypherpunk in us; even those that are not really into tech. have a little cypher in them; capabilities certainly enable but it is not the driver of a cypher life; it's not unfounded that people gravitate and prefer #privacy: blinds, doorlocks, whispers, close friendships that you share personal stories and thoughts; these are glimpses of what cypher looks like in its non-digital form. humans have an inherent need for multi-layered existence. if people understood how deeply entrenched data sharing and how this influences and changes their behavior, then there would be a massive disconnect by people outraged at the swindle. People will value other things in life, prompted by recognizing they've been manipulated by algorithms. People may be obtuse about their technologies, but they are certainly anti-surveillance

Damn it #nostr is addicting. I've gone many years avoiding social media, but I may have found my weakness lol.

What I love about #nostr is I can easily filter out anything that's not on my followers list. Harder time for big tech proprietary platforms able to psyop their userbase.

Teachings from #stoicism contain important insights. One such insight is we cannot separate the ideal from practical reality: we must practice what we believe in. It's why I love how they emphasize daily practice to strengthen one's virtue. A practice I really enjoy is experimenting and experiencing discomfort. For instance, taking a slightly colder shower to appreciate what one has, to skip on a bad habit instead of indulging, to walk to the local store instead of relying on a car. You realize that happiness doesn't come from externals of comfort but rather on being accepting of circumstances and moving beyond. Being mountain-like.

ok i guess i have to discover this wonderful world of relays.
