Why is there no real competition for Adobe? GIMP? GIMP is way more capable than you’d expect. But the UI, honestly, one of the worst, & it’s been like that forever. They pushed some major updates recently, like non-destructive editing & proper layering, & much more, some pretty fundamental stuff, a genuine milestones. But the UX barely changed. It’s a perfect example of how bad design ruining great open-source software. Blender managed to avoid this fate, I still don’t understand exactly how they did it

Always keep exploring, try new hobbies, test new things, just keep doing stuff. There’s something really disturbing about not doing anything in life, not having experiences, just living, working, eating, sleeping. It’s really dark when you think about it. I know times are tough, but we’ve been through worse as humans.

Going wireless was a way bigger compromise than we realized back then. These IEMs cost just a fraction of airpods or any decent TWS, yet they give you objectively better sound, zero latency, & no battery nonsense. I even got a 3.5mm to type-C adapter with a built-in DAC. I’m not going back, you just can’t. View quoted note →

People are free to make whatever choices they want, like how the BlueSky team decided to turn into an old version of Twitter to attract Elon’s haters. Fair enough. The good thing about Nostr is, there’s no central team that can make such decisions for the whole protocol.

On Nostr, the Web of Trust based feed makes a lot more sense than a strict following feed. You can set the depth, friends of friends, or even 3–4 degrees out. It’s a great way to discover new people & expand your web of trust by interacting and following them. It filters spam, works trustlessly, & just feels like the perfect system for Nostr. At least to me.
