in a way nostr is trying to bring us back to the era of original decentralised wild west of the internet, thus making it more human like. But I think we have a serious dead internet problem on our hand here as well. The number of bot accounts or just plain propaganda accounts trying to manufacture consent by making us feel like normal opinions are abnormal is staggeringly high. So maybe proof work solutions are really the only way we lessen the influence of nefarious actors among our midst

The next wrystr build will also finally have a nice separate section for image attachments and the URL will not be showing anymore

This is a cool video...and you should probably watch it :) Especially the part at the end where some guy doing the sciency thing and proves that tap water in China is totally drinkable by using pool strips and the air is clean by measuring CO2 :)

Ok.. I believe I have solved the problem when user needs to set wrystr to extremely large fonts. The top badges all stay in their places, the bottom left user's badge is there and the resizing of the application window works nicely. The funny thing is, I missed this problem entirely because I tested the large fonts only on Omarchy at the beginning. Like an idiot I didn't connect in my head the fact that Omarchy's window manager (Hyprland) just can't have this particular resizing problem !

Question: Should a Nostr client have a special feature you could turn on, which would make anyone claiming to be Elon Musk muted and therefore automatically invisible? :) I mean.. Personally I can stomach 3 to 5 Musks per day, but more than that is just too much ...

one of the few sane takes I've seen recently on social media. I'm gonna add why I think the BRICS (because it's always not being just Russia, but Iran and China as well) propaganda works so well: It's really simple: the bots are exploiting our significantly higher free speech while clamping down on their own criticism within those countries. It's really easy to do this when you can stop your own citizens from criticizing. I remember this from Communist Yugoslavia and I've been trying to explain people how obvious it is and practically nobody understands that they are tapdancing for the exact enemy that wants to destroy them. Look how nice and clean Moscow looks! Well.. so did fucking Belgrade in Yugoslavia and so is Pyongyang in North Korea ffs! All the big cites have always been monuments to dictators. "Look how united are Russians!" screams a Western man not knowing a Russian can't say much else but to praise the government. Everyone else is locked up already. This is btw why we have Westerners demonstrating with fcking pictures of a dead Iranian dictator who just a month ago killed 35000 of their own citizens, while Iranians are literally DJing on the roofs of their houses while the bombs and rockets are crashing IRGC. They get it. We don't. We can't understand the difference between the 'one-opinion state' (aka only one opinion allowed) and what we have here. Here we have whole media centres operating exclusively for propaganda of non-western bullshittery. And it doesn't even matter what kind as long as it sees the West as 'evil'. When I realized this to be an actual fact I decided for myself that I'm gonna become a radically self-interested person, by which I mean I'm gonna err on the side of Western ideals because, well.. I'm fucking living here! It really is that obvious once you read through all the mud that is being thrown at you daily View article →

In my Linux and Windows testing I found that the search not being of sufficient quality was what bothered me the most in wrystr. So later today I'm gonna push out huge improvements to it. I also finally added 'followings' to the application and that will be out in the next release as well. After that I'm gonna start polishing the article writing and the general feel for writing longer notes - even in threading view. I'd be interested in suggestions as well because for sure I am missing something obvious

I'm hitting rate limits like crazy today
