What's wrong with venice.ai Its answers are now missing words and letters. And the layout is messed up. I'm running Llama 3.1 405B, as usual... #asknostr

TIL #olas displays sensitive content without warning, unlike #amethyst And I was in a public space 😅

Does anyone know what's happening with umint.cash I optimized ecash on Minibits, and now I get an error for this mint... Seems like I lost a third of my ecash stack 😐 #asknostr

Is there a recommended FOSS alternative to Google Wallet? For train tickets. #asknostr

Man, just saw videos of the #earthquake in #thailand and people are sending me messages asking if the family is OK. Luckily, we're abroad, and are fine. But our building shook, and is damaged. Not sure if it'll be safe... Anyway, looks like aftershocks could happen. So stay safe everyone. Avoid staying next to construction zones and tall buildings. #siamstr

I just discovered

Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is a library of free eBooks.

and I'm amazed. 75,000 free eBooks, the world’s great literature, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Lots of classics there. I was looking for La Cité Antique, from Fustel de Coulanges. I heard of it on Lex Fridman #458 with Marc Andreessen. Sounds like a good one to read, in French 😉 #bookstr

When authority presents itself in the guise of organization, it develops charms fascinating enough to convert communities of free people into totalitarian States. —The Times (London) February 24, 1937 In the chapter 13 of Hayek's The Road to Sefdom Eerie familiar with what's happening in the EU... #quotestr #bookstr #hayek #eu

My router broke, and for the last couple of days, I had no Wi-Fi. I set up my Nostr apps to only connect over Wi-Fi to save on my data plan. To kill time, I went back to scrolling on X instead. It's been months since I had been there, and what I experienced WILL SHOCK YOU - as most influencers often write: Ads, ads, ads everywhere: Always the same ones, popping up all the time. It's so tiring, because most of them are trying to trick you to get your attention. Musk and DOGE posts and reposts everywhere, even if I don't follow these accounts. Trump, and Epstein related posts and reposts everywhere, by accounts I'm not following either. BREAKING posts everywhere. Crypto posts everywhere: ETH, SOL, XRP, etc. Even when I'm not following that kind of accounts. Altcons still going strong on X, and trying to plug their projects whenever possible. A lot of incivility in exchanges between users. People are so tense or showing their passion in a wrong way. No need to be so fucking rude all the time. Many posts I didn't get... Like cryptic comments on top of a video, adding no value whatsoever. I guess you need to actually watch the video to get the point. But I don't have time for that, so... X's thread layout sucks. You've got long threads, and each message ends with a "show more" making the experience miserable. A LOT of engagement, compared to Nostr. Most posts have hundreds of comments, thousands of likes and reposts. I wasn't used to that anymore, and I hope we can reach that level of engagement at one point, especially for news. Maybe it's all bots and spam - haven't really checked that deep. Seeing users I follow here be way more active there. And users I used to follow who aren't on Nostr. It's nice to see their posts. I wish we'd have them here, too. Anyway, coming back to Nostr, I appreciate what we have here. #nostr #x #twitter

Oh man, this was a heavy topic, one I had never heard of. Some people are really evil. And government giins are too happy to oblige, as usual. But, hey, it improves the bottom line!
