Honestly, I can totally relate to that. Even when I'm building this Nostr client. I just don't wanna deal with all these beginner topics anymore. Not that I'm a stranger to usability and making stuff beginner-friendly, I've written about it back in the 90s when you all were still hunting for that blue 'e' on your desktop thinking that's the whole internet. I've also read through nostr-ux.com; some solid tips on operational security, but on stuff like 'Discovery' for example, it just makes my hair stand on end. What am I supposed to do, try to simulate some algorithm? Curate a bunch of special users that might catch a Nostr newbie's eye? Just so they don't start with an empty feed because they're hooked on those clicky colorful TikTok videos? Should I even suck up to their dopamine-fried brains, just because... yeah what... "mass adoption"? Forget it, the public talk around here is way too out there anyway. Too far from Normie-Land. Either you all are too intellectual or too weird. Not even your memes are normal, yo. What am I gonna scrape together for that first timeline hoping it'll keep a normie sticking around? I'm not sure if that even works here, you gotta be ready for Nostr. This is like 'the 37 Chambers of Shaolin', not 'Jean-Claude van Damme doing splits in slow motion'. View quoted note →

Haha, bullshit. How many times have I opened an ODF or Libre Calc sheet and the formatting was totally messed up and couldn't even be fixed. Ever since then, it's just TXT and CSV for me. View quoted note →

At first I was totally against it too, but now I actually like AI slop. I even celebrate every new piece of AI slop, and you know why? Because it really shows what kind of worthless fiat trash we've been dealing with for decades. Doesn't matter what kind of art, when you see how even this first generation of AI can reproduce it, it pushes today's so-called artists to rethink their stuff and make something better than the crap they're getting paid for. It's about time we cranked up the level of human creativity back to that pre-fiat era, like medieval times, when artworks lasted way beyond the artists' deaths, for centuries. Like, "You slapped a bunch of crap on a canvas and call it art? Here, take this AI crap, it can do the same thing. Why should I pay for yours?"

Dude, every 40 years there’s a tiny bit of mild drama here and they’re already making memes about it. Over on MT you wouldn’t even be able to keep up. View quoted note →

Normie users are really resilient. They even went along with Windows 11 without realizing they’re basically sitting at a dumb terminal connected to a mainframe in Redmond. View quoted note →

Hahaha, idiots. They think they’re super smart and then end up falling flat on their face. What does Islam say? Don’t sell anything you don’t fully own. View quoted note →

Exactly. #NoorNote is trying hard to break free from those timeline restrictions. Just wait and see. View quoted note →
