Priest. Normie posts. If I want to hear theories on economics, I'll read a book.

The way Primal incorporates a wallet is beyond cool. But never forget: BTC/crypto as a touted feature of Nostr will always be a hindrance to growth, not a help. View quoted note β†’

Well, Acolyte improved a little. It's too bad that Episode 7 was the real Episode 1. Bad writing and story design kills it every time.

Love historical/nature documentaries. Watch multiples every week, especially whilst winding down. One gripe, though, about something becoming more common: the interview interjection. Annoying and lazy. Breaks up the flow of the narrative. I'm sure Professor Y has good things to say, so have him help you with the storyboard. Off camera.

If you're looking to ditch Adobe, check out Affinity. I've been running it for years and have absolutely no need for the overpriced spyware.

If I seem a little surly about AI, it’s because of the confidence men who tried to convince you a better way to Google was going to change the world.

Fittingly, after my Chicago Pizza rant, Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti wins the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Bertoletti is a South Sider and had a shot after Nathan's DQ'd Joey Chestnut for pitching meat substitutes. And of course Miki Sudo crushed the competition as always. Congrats to her!

Anyway, I said about a decade ago that the only groundbreaking advancement in phones left on the horizon are better batteries. Still waiting on that, but I'll be the first to admit I am awful at physics.

1) Subscribed to TIDAL yesterday because they did us Nostriches a solid. 2) Went down the rabbit hole of how audiophiles utilize high quality streaming. 3) Spent a bunch of money. At least it'll all sound great.

Color me not impressed. They had a chance to build it right, but decided to concede to the Twitter defectors. image

Windows Recall under the stage name of """AI""" is probably the most disturbing thing I've seen in my 30 years of computing. What's more disturbing is that this will become a trend, and you won't be able to opt out. Time for everyone to get really familiar with Linux. Unfortunately.

Re: GPT-4o... Good gravy. I can think of no greater waste of time than talking to the bot on your phone. LLMs are growing on me as a means to obtain quick baseline info, but that's it.

A social network doesn't necessarily need to attract "normies" to grow in the long term. What it does need, though, is normie posting, topics not associated with crypto or the Nostr project.

Rabble's presentation at Nostrasia was really good. He understands the "normie" perspective and what's necessary to appeal to the masses.
