Let's all say what we think

"It's not just grungy punks, drug dealers & people who want to skirt the system at these events. It's genuine professionals looking at #Bitcoin in a genuine way to adopt it into their professions." -Bitcoin Alive co-organizer Chris Pavlesic ( @Lungdoge ) on Beyond The Price ep. 20 Listen on @Fountain:

Always get nervous before recording an interview

Nice that I can follow as many people as I please on Nostr without worrying about it de-boosting my posts due to a bad following:follower ratio like on Twitter

Is there a tool that can automatically post on other platforms like Twitter when you post on Nostr? Maybe with a little tag that says "originally posted on Nostr", could be good exposure

Like murmuring into the void

Holy shit, TJ Miller was at @PUBKEY and did a dramatic reading of the original HODLING post

Super short snow season in Japan this year. Hope that's not indicative of years to come 🏂

Seeing these Sora videos makes me think that within a few years (at most) we'll see a blockbuster movie made entirely with Al, no actors, almost no crew. It'll be infinitely customizable for different countries - want Asian actors for an Eastern audience? Boom. Want it all in your local language? Boom. Want to tone down (or up lol) the graphic content? Boom. Not only will all film-related jobs be far less in demand, we'll lose the shared experience that movies/TV shows have been up until now. We have our own news, our own social feeds, our own echo chambers, but at least we were still watching the same movies. No longer.

A few years ago I was translating something by a wealthy Japanese art collector, and one thing he said stuck in my mind. He said he thinks it's better for an artist to grow up in a small city or town rather than a big city like Tokyo because in a big city, you're surrounded by people at the top of the game and it's easy to feel like you'll never achieve what they have, whereas in a small city the competition is less in your face. I think social media or the internet at large has the same problem, we all have access to the most popular entertainers, most engaging writers, the biggest podcasters, etc., so it's easy to get discouraged if you're trying to follow in their footsteps. Worsened by the fact that it seems much more within reach because of the accessibility, but secretly isn't. Kinda wish I could just do my thing, even if it sucks, without knowing about all the people doing it better than me.

"The death of Navalny, a 47-year-old former lawyer, robs the disparate Russian opposition of its most prominent leader as Putin prepares for an election which will keep the former KGB spy in power until at least 2030." https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/jailed-russian-opposition-leader-navalny-dead-prison-service-2024-02-16/

I'm just not cut out for social media
