I wrapped up my time at Verse a few weeks ago and I’m taking some time to figure out what’s next. I’m especially interested in human rights and climate action, and I’d love to help out at a nonprofit or mission-driven org—places like ACLU, Amnesty International, Sierra Club, 350.org, or others doing meaningful work. Whether it’s coaching leaders or making process improvements, I love helping nonprofits to make things run more smoothly so they can focus more on their mission. If you're at a nonprofit of any sort, let's chat. And if you know someone doing this kind of work, I’d really appreciate an intro or a share. Thanks!

I’m not sure I completely agree that ClickUp has this right. Work is broken? Maybe. Probably. But “app-switching fragments work, steals time, and kills productivity”? I’m not sure about that. I get a lot more work done when I don’t have Mail or Slack open. Having them integrated in a single app seems like *more* of a productivity killer than switching between apps. This is one of the nice things about Nostr, actually. I *want* to switch between a variety of smaller, more focused apps to do specific things. View quoted note →

Really enjoying the Dart course from Code with Andrea. I’ve learned a lot of Dart in the few hours I’ve spent with it. Well worth the time and money.

@jb55 Damus crashes on launch for me on macOS 14.7.2 (23H311). Well, it started when I logged in — it crashed immediately after I pasted my key and clicked the Login button. Now whenever I launch it just crashes. I deleted it and reinstalled; still crashing on launch. Is there something I can do to clear data and try again?

I recently bought an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite — my first ereader — and have been reading Radical Candor on it. So far, I’m loving how I can highlight things without ruining the book. As much as I love reading on paper, I never wanted to destroy a book by marking it up with notes or highlights. It’s nice to feel totally free to do this, and the Paperwhite makes it really easy to highlight text. Maybe I should just get over myself and mark up paper books, but I guess that would require buying rather than borrowing and I’m not sure I want to do that. View quoted note →

I started reading Radical Candor on @Montzstar’s recommendation and I’m loving it so far. I’ve been trying to be a little more direct and a little clear on what I want, need, or expect at work.

Yes! In A Bit of Optimism where Simon Sinek interviewed her, they talked about how this is useful for dealing with adults, too! The Simon Sinek interview is quite a bit shorter, so it might be a good option if you don’t have ~3 hours to listen.

This talk by @rabble from Nostriga was great not only for the history of Nostr (and where it is today and where it’s going) but also for how to think about each social media platform and how they compare to Nostr. If you care about Nostr, I highly recommend it.

Cooper’s Hawk, April 2023. One of the first shots I got after buying a camera. I had been second-guessing my purchase and thinking maybe my iPhone was just as good as a “real” camera. Smartphones have really great cameras, but it’s hard for them to match a long lens that can zoom like this. #photography #nature #birds #wildlife

“Nostr has delete, and it works, but it's more about expressing a user's intention than tech which can provably eliminate the existence of their content. We need to tell users this, and add delete request functionality to our apps.” 100% agree. Let’s get all Nostr apps to support delete!

Is njump.me down? I just got a 524 when trying to load a profile. for example: https://njump.me/josh@nos.social Not sure who to notify about this, but one of you probably knows, right?

Happy Monday!

I’ve been looking for a good editor for Mac for a while -- one that feels native (Mac-assed) and modern. I do most of my coding in Xcode and I'm happy with it for iOS development. But there are text files and Markdown files and YAML files and other files to edit, and Xcode feels too heavy most of the time. So, nostr friends, what do you recommend? #macassed #development #codeeditors
