NIP-51 lists are so complicated, I tell you. I've totally underestimated them and still got a bunch of bugs in mine. I'm sweating bullets with these damn lists right now. But I'll get it done, insh’Allah. #NoorNote

Man, I just got so pissed off when I accidentally saw what my 11 years old daughter was watching on YouTube. The message in that animated video was: "Eat less meat. For the climate!" I didn't get mad at my daughter, but at the crap they're shoving down our kids' throats. F*cking lying eco-propaganda bullshit. Of course, I set everything straight and explained to her why that's all a load of nonsense. While my wife was in the kitchen kneading the ground meat for Kebab. Tonight we're having Adana Kebab in yogurt sauce. 😏

Elites aren't bad in themselves, only when they're corrupt. How do you spot corrupt elites? Well, there are two kinds: financial elites and political elites. If the two mix or if political power leads to financial power or the other way around, then you've got elite corruption. Show me one single country today where those two types are kept totally separate.

It's always the elites of every country against the rabble of every country. Even if it sometimes looks like they're fighting each other. In reality, it's always the working rabble against the parasitic elites. Everywhere.

That's just how the game works in politics. They never admit it's about money for the elites of their country, you know, the ones who finance the election campaigns. They always push some reason for the rabble that suggests it's about noble goals. View quoted note →

So, everybody’s talking about Venezuela now? As if they were part of the elites, as if they were part of the club? 😒

Europe and especially Germany are world champions in burning money. You have no idea how rich these people and institutions are around here, and how easily they can afford to just burn millions of Euros. But absolute no barakah in it. View quoted note →

Since everybody's talking about time and dates right now: #NoorNote

It's about time a real commercial market opens up for software that respects the user's privacy and sovereignty. Come on, it can't be that we're building tools that are way better in this regard than their proprietary competitors. But we give them away for free, while those guys with ties are stuffing their pockets with their crap. It needs to be the exact opposite.

The first time I’m seeing this feature in the wild. [By @Vezire ] View quoted note →

Btw, with #NoorNote you can participate in these NIP-88 polls. Jumble also supports them. View quoted note →

I should probably not keep quiet about the fact that this release also includes an experimental feature that's not exactly easy to pull off: Smart Identity Anchoring. Inspired by this post here: nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpraeg5qq8fvehvdnfupl4kumzdlkcrj6s596ypvkf0hywvkvee2fqyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqypjm5ha6utzccft28ek5ccepymwzwrqn9x0cq56m2km7rywja5d6sxqhwjd According to the feature story, it's supposed to solve this problem: "Help users recognize people they follow even after profile changes (name, picture). When someone you follow changes their profile, the app shows visual cues to help you remember who they are based on how you first met them. On Nostr, pubkey is the only stable identifier, but it's not human recognizable. Users change names and profile pictures frequently, making it hard to recognize people you know. This feature provides visual continuity during profile transitions." So this is how it looks for now. User npub1kppw9a5asyvz4c35d0kh8gzulvlealcyw28u0f2mau8n6auna84sdyf9y3 changes its profil pic (and username), and thinks he can get away with switching his identity, because who remembers npubs anyway? But the profile pic and name from that first encounter got saved, and so it blinks back and forth between the old and new profile pics. Right there in the timeline and on the profile page. I just thought: Show the old profile picture and name blinking for a while too, until the user gets used to the new one (or always). You can set this behavior in the settings. Well, it's not exactly intensively tested, but sometimes I'm just the 'shoot first, test later' type. What do you think? Good or bad feature? Unnecessary? Annoying? View quoted note →
