After all the drama that went down these days, I went back to see where the other desktop clients for nostr I tried in the past were. I tried again iris.to and snort.social after some time and I gotta admit, they improved a lot both aesthetically and performance wise! Iris has an awesome PWA, it feel app-y, way more than others, so much that I wish it worked as PWA on my phone as well. Snort is smooth, functionally on point and lightweight. Other clients usually take a toll on my laptop fans, while using snort my pc remains cool. Stay cool people

YouTube started showing a disclaimer that using an adblocker allows YouTube to remain free. Bro, we ain't paying with money, we're paying with data and privacy, even more valuable than money, so shut the hell up.

Gm and PV ☀️ It blows my mind that in 2023, with no more mandatory rules about covid, people are still getting tested. It's a cold bro, don't sweat it. Some people simply need to be enslaved because it gives them purpose and structure. I fear there is no redemption for people with this mindset. There won't be any bitcoin to free them, no nostr to uncensor them, no sovereignty to govern themselves. Just the governmental tit to suck on and the hope that the next electoral wave brings enough welfare to trick them into thinking they are living better than the previous political era, despite paying double the amount of taxes. Not a rant, just a train of thought.

Honeybadger just doesn't fucking care. Cue all the Bitcoin and fiat metaphors.

Is the Miljan (Primal) vs. Will (Damus) the first client war? Because I'm all for it

I used to navigate in my phone with gestures and it was cool af. But these gestures, especially swiping from the side often interacted with other apps (like accidentally archiving chats on telegram or deleting relays on Plebstr). Back to the three buttons system I guess 🫤

Wtf is this thing and how do I get one @QnA interested in a new machine?

Ffs why did my relay's number dropped from 13 to 7, nuking even my own private relay? I didn't even switched clients 🫤
