I feel like a lot of conspiracy theories can just be wiped away with “inflation“.

Listening to this this morning
Do you think of attention as a currency? Perhaps more of a commodity that can be refined for various results.
It’s been a while since I sat down to plan but since my workflow is on hold for a few days I might as well.
Listening to this while playing some random fps.
One of the things that keeps bothering me about modern social networks is how following someone is an all or nothing deal. I might follow you because you yo-yo, or because you are doing something interesting with AI, or because you are experimenting with plant cloning. That is the reason I am there. But the feed does not stop at that boundary. I also get everything else you want to talk about. Your opinions, your arguments, your beliefs, your unrelated interests.
If you think about it like a Venn diagram of two people, the overlap that caused the follow in the first place is usually pretty small. That is the part I care about. When the system keeps pushing the non overlapping parts in front of me, the parts where we diverge, it creates friction that did not need to exist. Over time, that friction becomes the reason to unfollow, even though the original reason for following never went away.
That tension is a big part of why I am building small, focused web apps on Nostr, like YoYoStr. I am curious about what other people in a hobby are making, learning, or struggling with. I am not especially interested in consuming the full surface area of their thoughts. I want shared context without mandatory total exposure.
Why do so many notes in the feed on @primal that mention people say @ unknown? Do I need to refresh my relays or is this something else?
Three days till my codex credits refill… what am I supposed to do with myself?
I need a nostr app where I can filter my feed by the topics those who I’m following are posting about. Typically not interested in seeing news, politics, Luddite vibes, but don’t want to mute or unfollow certain people because one of our interests overlap 😂
My kids and I are on our third lap through Harry Potter. We’re on book two of Narnia and book one of Artemis Fowl. It’s almost painful to read Narnia out loud. The children and other characters speak so properly and a lot of it is dated. Wish it could be rewritten from today’s perspective. Through that’s basically The Magicians and I’m NOT reading that to them 😂
One of these nostr apps needs a mute review feature.
I would say I’m a technology fan in the same way others are sports fans, i’m not necessarily good at it, but I will go out of my way to learn a little more about it just for fun
Okay I can log in, post, view lessons etc, yoyostr.com is basically at minimal viable product level. But obviously still needs work. I need to test the badge awarding system for demonstrating skills, add industry news/company news, maybe events and clubs too
A test trick video post. This is a behind the back catch
Shows up in Damus but not primal, I’m guessing it’s a relay issue out maybe I need to restart my phone. Anyways…

Okay I think yoyostr’s login might be working… going to save it and see…
Can a domain name be owned by an NPUB? Or is there some equivalent aside from just having QR codes to your profile everywhere?

Thought it would be interesting to have ChatGPT research the price of a loaf of bread over the years and then make a chart out of it.
Shoulda invested in bread smh ngmi…
