It took me a while to realize just how many fundamental freedoms humans are born with, and how many of those our ancestors gradually gave up, only to have those limitations become set in stone today. View quoted note โ†’

Welcome to the new Nostriches! You might have missed the OG train and had to put up with a lot from the fiat social media lords, but you're never too late. Just leave your algo-induced toxicity behind, take the time to learn how things work here, be patient, and have a long-term perspective; instant gratification isn't a thing here. Otherwise, you'll get muted really quickly and won't even notice. And then you'll leave and spend the rest of your life saying "Nostr is trash".

Developing a Nostr client is fun. You learn a lot about relays. And so far, I know s*** about 'em. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I like @Ray Buni 's eligibility system from Aqstr in this regard. Better than a NIP-05 verification. Should be part of every Nostr client. When somebody made it to Nostr, just say "hi" or "welcome", only zap, when they are eligible. View quoted note โ†’ image

I've configured a WireGuard VPN on my router (workstation connected via LAN cable or Wifi, makes no difference), and @YakiHonne (web version) is very slow over it. It also takes forever to load all events in it. All other websites and Nostr clients are lightning-fast over this router. Yakihonne (mobile) over this router is also fast. If I disable the VPN on the router and use the same VPN provider as a desktop client on my workstation, it's faster. Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? #asknostr

In some cases I'm actually glad that AI replaces humans, like in this case of cheap Fiat music produced for quick wear and tear. This industry can already expect a rough time and we should all start composing our own music. Sure, it's still extremely low level and a long way to go before it can imitate Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach, but I'm already looking forward to my own ambient tracks that I can play in the background while working.

It was only logical that they would soon replace the products (us) with AI. That's the plan. First, we were there to create content, then AI sifted through the 'right' content for viewers, then we were there to train the AI, and then they don't need us anymore. At most, we're just cash cows. The 'social' in social media will soon be dropped. They want to become real media platforms. View quoted note โ†’
