I've come to realise eink is mostly a meme, it's really cool tech and probably has some use cases but upon realising I comfortably read social media on my laptop for hours I've realised I could just do the same with books, download an epub and drag+drop to apple books (syncs progress and book with phone) then just read on whatever device I'm using, tools even exist to import highlights from books into obsidian or whatever else - most portable eink devices are laggy and janky as far as battery life goes I can't remember the last time my phone or laptop ran out of charge and if it did I wouldn't be too concerned with reading books and apple books doesn't seem to drain my iphones battery to a point of being a concern

Finished reading: Doing Good Better by William MacAskill π
Interesting but uncomfortable book, if you ignore local issues and focus on objectively more important ones youβll do more but be stuck feeling like youβre doing less compared to action that you instantly see the results of

Doing Good Better
Theres currently protests, counter protests and riots happening in my city - all of which are pointless since neither protests have specific demands - I think most "politics" is just entertainment, fantasy fulfilment or an emotional outlet for adults who can't deal with their emotions properly, instead of wasting your time being angry about nothing focus on fixing problems or healthier
activities like going on a hike


exo (
) allows you to cluster your devices to run AI, it's only a matter of time before people start sharing compute, you setup a VPN server running exo, then each device you want to contribute to the cluster you route to that VPN - a group of 5 friends doing this would essentially provide a decent level of compute for running AI at literally no cost (excluding the vpn server which could just be a dirt cheap one)

Does anyone have a strategy for organising and compartmentalising your notes on nostr? Right now all I can think of is having one master account then sub accounts for each thing
people will say piracy isn't theft because it's a digital file then complain about AI stealing peoples art lmao
For the longest time I was incredibly pessimistic then a friend convinced me optimism vs pessimism is more of a habit than a trait - I didn't believe them at first but as the years have gone on and I've become a much more optimistic person I wish someone would have told me sooner
I'm looking forward to when people switch from saying 1btc = $x and instead say 1btc = 1btc
it feels like nostr has a much lower rate of posts compared to other social media, at first it annoyed me but it's kind of growing on me, makes you less compulsive about checking it cause I know as long as I check it every 1/2 days I'll still see most of the content I want

from now on when things go wrong in my life instead of blaming the rothschilds im going to indiscriminately blame crowdstrike, phone b attery died? crowdstrike. girl rejected me? crowdstrike

I think I just reached a right of passage, breaking into your own safe
I've decided to try moving from conventional social media (twitter) to new social media (nostr) I first got into crypto 10+ years ago and it seemed vital to have actually control over digital currency then as we all saw the huge spike of BTC lead to most people treating it like a speculative stock instead of a currency at that point I stopped spending it and a few years after kind of wrote off crypto as a whole since everyone I spoke to only seemed to care about ROI etc, on twitter that's still the norm (pump and dumping memecoins etc) I think the idea of zaps is incredible, a universal way to reward good content. Ramble over.
