"The new Nostr UX is here" "Brand new Bitcoin Wallet UX will revolutionize..." You know what would really help? If the interface didn't change every three months. Thank you.

You know what the biggest stupidity of this current generation is? They think just because someone is attractive and looks good, they're also knowledgeable, trustworthy, and competent. It's a new kind of insanity to want to associate all positive qualities together. "Ooooh, looks sexy, must have something going on!" No generation before thought like that, except maybe the ancient Romans toward the end. I remember it from the 70s and 80s. Back then, the image was "the prettier, the dumber" or "competence doesn't care about appearance." But starting from the 90s? A totally unique form of retardation. Sorry, you 20 to 30 year olds totally screwed this one up.

A little technical article about the local workflow between multiple dev machines. Edge case. Not for everyone. But maybe it'll help one or two people out there. View article →

Speaking of bloated slop ... Adobe Acrobat Reader. Just to quickly open and read a PDF file. Why does it need over 2 GB of hard disk space? Evil software is software that does things the user doesn't want. image

This will be a very different Nostr year. At least for me. A lot of new concepts, less zaps. Lots of innovation, little agreement. Whatever. Who breaks free from their dopamine addiction wins.

You are not getting Nostr right if you center everything around the concept of 'following'. Build your clients in a way, that following becomes unnecessary. View quoted note →

If AI is so great and hardware is basically just cheap junk that costs almost nothing, you know, because we exploit poor people for it, then why is there still no small handy simultaneous translator that translates into every language in real time?

I think this product insertion into the normal Nostr feed can really work. Honestly, how often do you visit a Nostr marketplace? But your normal Nostr client is open almost every day. And for the first time, I'm discovering that someone I follow actually sells a product that I've always wanted to buy. But so far, I've only seen providers from overseas; this one is right around the corner and delivers to me. The concept could actually work, even from a market perspective. And I like having products sprinkled into my feed, because I know I can buy all of them with Sats. If anyone wants to give it a try, head over to (the web version is always further along, with fewer bugs, + now it even has product bookmarking). Then turn on the Marketplace in the Addon Settings and let a few products get added to your feed. View quoted note →
