Twitter is dead. Long live the Nostr. nostr:note1xzjv3tmyvrrl5vkj3npylzrp5rkde8zfk7lhqprrv3f9936yauks4arsyn

Inception is real, what the movie talks about is true. You can have a dream inside a dream and then wake up level by level. I've experienced stuff like that a few times in my life, but last night it was crystal clear. I heard my alarm go off and got up to shut it off, since my alarm clock is always somewhere away from my bed. Then I figured I was awake. I started thinking about what a super long dream that was, it felt like it went on for days, like a whole story spanning multiple days. So yeah, it's true that time moves way slower in a dream within a dream. Then the alarm rang again and I woke up for real this time. I was like, huh, why is the alarm going off twice? So I got up again to turn it off. Next thing I know, I'm sitting on the edge of the bed feeling completely out of it. No clue what day of the week it is, no idea what went down last night before bed. Totally disoriented. It took me minutes to snap out of it and realize it's Saturday, the kids don't have school today. But I thought I'd slept through morning prayer. Turns out I didn't, I got my usual four to five hours of sleep. Crazy shit. Oh, and by the way, I don't drink alcohol, don't do any drugs. I never even need coffee in the morning, I'm usually sharp as a tack right away. But man, this morning I was really out of sorts.

Okay, if these WoT mechanisms slap a new user with a "probably a spammer" tag right as they set foot in Nostr, then something is seriously messed up with the WoTs. It's almost like Twitter, where new accounts get throttled right away and marked as untrustworthy. How's anyone supposed to get their foot in the door with that? I've been skeptical about this whole WoT thing from the very start, not just because of cases like this. To me, it just feels like a desperate stab at trying to formalize "trust." nostr:nevent1qgs02f70juxwyc88gfsjzjlkzt50wkjemvvrtmt7gpfnymplvh3r9msprfmhxue69uhkumm0wfhx7er99ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9esh57npd4hjumn9wshsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq37amnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdekkz6nvd9ejumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0qqsfcf0xrlk0558ej8fra2ks9ssqyrlht9v9qnxmvqpkn99jug6zq0sn7ms34

Yeah, I'm all for that too. It just doesn't make sense to let encrypted messages hang around in relays forever. Having them go through relays at all is already unnecessary. I'd much rather have direct P2P communication instead. I've been thinking about this all the time and holding off on implementing DMs in #NoorNote because of it. To me, direct messages don't belong on any relays at all. And if they do, they should get reliably deleted right after delivery. Anyone want to step up and build a solid inbox relay? We need that infrastructure. nostr:npub1h8lhed2da096g2wcsh2crmyvenune046rqkejc8f8pcaag8qj25qqadp5p , nostr:npub17veg2gt7ja4dnjhs23jyttvpqlde3ajevlxuumxwghnqmgqwuv4q78cc5z ? nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp3l7jtuqc5tvp32tzh5dy44vqu5pqdkexn4pluulkrxc5r7kwaekqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uqzpzn9mvr4kuc0ty0u8hc8ctsckjfewc8plpchz7dkmnlf6n5j9vw7kpm9yr

Know what I think the biggest problem with organized work these days is? It's not fiat, it's not money. It's people having no backbone when you try to work with them. Back in the day, it used to be "a man's word is his bond." But now? Almost everyone lies, swears up and down, makes quick promises just to forget them two hours later. This isn't just isolated incidents anymore. It's become an epidemic. Picture this: Boss asks his app developer "why did our app get kicked off the Play Store?" Developer says "I'll figure it out right away." A week goes by. Boss asks again. Developer says "I was gonna handle it this week." Another week passes. Nothing. This dumbass doesn't even reach out and say "sorry, I promised I'd take care of this but..." Nah, you gotta chase this jerk down for the third time. He could've just said "I don't care" or "I don't have time for this" like a real man. He's a freelancer after all. You can't boss him around. He can do whatever he wants. But no, he makes a promise so casually, like it means nothing. Then he ghosts you. Not once, not twice, but three damn times. And it's like this everywhere, all the time. People freely give you their word, then break it without a second thought. Honestly man, how are you supposed to work with people like that?

He’s just like me 😁 nostr:nevent1qgspk0qwj7gjj6dfpqtu7j2qh28am6r3fwt3zcwxq708ucg5qdq48vgprfmhxue69uhkumm0wfhx7er99ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9esh57npd4hjumn9wshsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq37amnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdekkz6nvd9ejumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0qqsyv93qm8pt5ultpcxcv63cqk9ts9eahc0yfnlpgrs5qr9rc9hhp8g5gxtpm

Year 2025, end of November. This morning I'm dressed exactly like my dad was most of the time. Conservatively with pleated suit pants. In three shades of gray and black socks. Like a typical Turkish dude in Germany. All those years of rebellion for nothing.

Sometimes in development, you have to be able to check out exactly what's landing on the relays in raw mode. I know there are tools like that out there, I just don't know where. So I built my own Relay Inspector. If a fellow developer here could use it… https://mslmdvlpmnt.com/tools/relay-inspector.html

Alhamdulillah, yesterday, I finally nailed down a unified architecture for them. And that opens up new possibilities for future list-based features.

Nostr is kinda like TV from the seventies and eighties. Mornings, nothing's going on, then around noon you get those boring cultural shows, and the interesting stuff only starts after the sun goes down.
