I sometimes wonder how Gnome has become the defacto desktop for most of #Linux. It does look beautiful, that I cannot deny; but it’s lack of functionality, over simplification of apps, and lack of customization really make it sort of inferior to most other desktops.

I was playing with Pop-OS! today and it gave me a chance to test Autonomix-cli with a Debian based distro, worked like a charm.

@Zapstore have you guys started investigating how you will manage or what needs to be done when google starts locking down sideloading more?

Made some changes to this morning. What We Removed (The Bad Stuff): - Private key login - This was like giving away your house keys to anyone who asked. Super dangerous! - Hex key login - Same problem, just a different format of your private keys What We Kept (The Good Stuff): - Browser Extension Login (NIP-07) - Like using a secure password manager. Your private keys stay locked in the extension and never get exposed. This is now the recommended way. - Public Key + Password - Only shares your public profile info, never your private keys. Good for automated tools. Why This Matters: - Before: Someone could steal your private keys and pretend to be you forever - After: Your private keys stay safe in your browser extension or never get transmitted at all The Trade-off: - Some users will need to install a browser extension (like Alby) or set up a password - But they'll be MUCH safer from hackers Bottom Line: We prioritized security over convenience - better to make users take one extra step than risk their accounts getting hacked!

I’ve gotten pretty used to using copilot outside of VSCode, just in the terminal. It’s improved productivity quite a bit. In VSCode remote connections broke often. I standard ssh terminal sessions stay solid all day if it must.

There is a good chance relay.pleb.one will be broken for a chunk of the day. I am working on fixing some persistent issues I have been having with it. I’ll let folks know when it’s fixed.

First version of my command line tool to post to MicroBlog and X is complete. Did it in Ruby and seems to work well.

It is a helpless feeling when your 9yr old gets in the car after school crying because kids are talking behind their back.

My Nostr relay I built is having constant login problems… it is really driving me crazy. I am half tempted to scrap it and do a rewrite.

I officially decommissioned some apps of mine from their respected servers and they are no longer on the web…. Zaprank, Abbey, and Y’all.

After some consideration, I am going to take Zaprank down, it was a fun little experiment making a Nostr app with Rails, but in all reality it doesn't serve much of a purpose nor does it get the traffic making the resources it uses worth it.
