I fixed the script in my own micro-app through 2 trouble shooting iterations without having to go to ChatGPT because I immediately knew what the problem was and could fix it myself faster... ChatGPT is slowly brute forcing me into basic coding practices. 🤣

It's not fair to @35hara

Blowater is a ridiculous name, but the execution and idea of a completely DM focused interface is actually awesome. I've been keeping it open and I only answer messages over there, while Primal and Iris are my main desktop feeds. Cool project. (blowater.app btw)

Damn, this kinda puts it into perspective 😂 View quoted note →

I kind of have come to appreciate all the “trigger warnings” and things like the Spotify labels that say “Learn the truth about COVID vaccines/climate change/whatever” because it’s become like a flag for me when searching through a lot of media that signals, “you might really enjoy this episode so stop and look for a second.” 🤣 I will genuinely be a little sad when they take those away.

I still think this is by far the most valuable thing we could build for the #nostr protocol. Being able to sell and base reputation off the same network as your social graph is something no other service can offer. You can’t carry your EBay reputation to Amazon, you can’t update your Facebook page for all of your Amazon customers. The universal network graph is a novel value that only #nostr can fulfill.

(Posted on Twitter because it’s more relevant there, but I won’t link to it so you don’t have to experience that place 😂) The great insanity of our time has been: The idea that facts cannot be shared or discussed, if they don’t support “the correct conclusion.” People who want to discuss a major topic or problem honestly, are met with extreme hate and vicious denouncement if the truth or facts they find aren’t perfectly aligned with The Narrative. • Are deaths and injuries from all weather and climate related issues plummeting and projected to continue? This is “dangerous” and makes you a “denier” and must be censored. Not because it isn’t true, it’s because it questions the “final solution” that has already been decided by the political class. • Are there 10s of thousands of reports of deaths and extremely serious injury associated with the vaxzein? If you say anything at all other than “safe and effective” or even talk to someone who has been injured, you are a literal murderer of innocent old grandmothers & you’re probably racist too. • Does a woman have a vagina? This is so profoundly evil that each utterance of it is literal genocide of trans people. The words literally slice through the air like crazed dementors on the hunt and cut down trans people like word demons, blood flying everywhere. The horrors of such a grammatical tyranny can never be recovered from. It’s instant death to 1000s. EVERY issue seems to be met with this same stubborn and narcissistic box that is riddled with lies, twisted statistics, & half truths. And it’s being used to excuse the most horrible forms of censorship violations of individual rights. Step outside of the approved box with even the most utterly basic of facts, and you’re an evil, racist, treasonous conspiracy theorist (or literally any other disgusting label they can conjure) This does SO much damage to the discussion because not only are people not allowed to hold a sober, nuanced position on anything, but when you hear someone spread blatant lies and then they start screaming like a lunatic when you point it out and call you a murderer - then what remotely intelligent or sensible person would believe absolutely anything that person says again? It has led to the total breakdown of trust in our institutions that is so bad that people will literally believe *any* crazy story for no other reason than they are certain they are being lied to with the “approved narrative.” The establishment losing their minds over people believing anything they find on the internet, need to look in the mirror. They have been pouring gasoline on this fire for *years.* The establishment has made it perfectly clear, over and over again, that truth is subject to any change necessary so that it aligns with “the good guys’ [insert approved conclusion]” Problem is, as I see it, knowingly lying, censoring the truth, & viciously attacking - even putting people in cages - for speaking the truth, has never been what “the good guys” do. Hope you have a great day 😁👍🏻

How do we make it so sharing #nostr notes and links on other platforms are as visually available as possible? ie. previews, account images, thumbnails, etc? I think sharing on other centralized platforms so that the content is visible is a major pull to actually entice people to go out of their current network to see some content. I actually finally setup an instagram a couple years back because of Joe Rogan cross posting videos. At the bare minimum there's still a ton of Bitcoiners on Twitter who have foolishly been dismissing #nostr & we should be figuring out how to make them feel like they are missing the good BTC stuff, just like Twitter was to Reddit in the 2016 era. 🤣
