I am back on @primal now that @Openvibe 1.2.1. keeps crashing on my iPhone after ~ 4 seconds. Will come back after the next update 😊

You are the main character of your own show. This research highlights the fact that you’re mostly also the only viewer of that show. The Spotlight effect (where people believe to be far more visible “in the spotlights” then they really are) is measurably real:

This research provides evidence that people overestimate the extent to which their actions and appearance are noted by others, a phenomenon dubbed ...

The real question with this new system is, when will BlueWallet @bluewallet.bsky.social and Blockstream Greenwallet @blockstreamgreen start supporting this? All systems that aren’t implemented by popular wallets are useless. View quoted note →

Good day (I hope you hear an Australian accent when reading that) all you highly regarded readers. This is officially my first simultaneous post on #nostr #bluesky and #mastodon 😃 I’m cross posting in the wonderful OpenVibe app by the way. @openvibe.bsky.social

Is er een landelijke #KPN storing?

When using tethering (sharing my 5G with my laptop) my #iphone15 Pro becomes very warm. Too warm to comfortably hold. I’m afraid this will negatively impact the quality and durability of my battery 😅 Does anybody else have similar problems?

It’s official now. I want there to be a @highlighter style app for publishing my marginal notes and highlights onto the free web like #nostr and #mastodon There are marginalia – notes written by great thinkers in the margins of other writers’ works (the poet Lord Byron’s notes in the margins of Isaac D’Israeli’s Literary Character of Men of Genius are far more famous than the book itself).

How archives can make – or break – a philosopher’s reputation | Aeon Essays

Husserl’s well-tended archive has given him a rich afterlife, while Nietzsche’s was distorted by his axe-grinding sister

I was quite moved to read the account of how the papers of the diseased Jewish Philosopher Husserl where saved for posterity. This quote struck me hard: This reveals one of the essential characteristics of an archive. To be an archive, the material must be public – there is no such thing as a private archive. It is located in space, a space outside the person whom it historicises. In this way, an archive is always threatened with destruction, and with it the person or time commemorated. Totalitarian governments of all stripes have recognised this – for all the defiance of the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov’s phrase ‘manuscripts don’t burn’ – they do, and with them are immolated lives, ways of being, and cultures.

We must continue to build out systems like #nostr and #bittorrent -like hosting to ensure that any culture will survive the next wave of Left or Right politics that will no doubt require its own wave of (digital) book burnings 🔥

It was JFK who said something similar I think 😅

Today I made a #generationX ‘er laugh (or cry on the inside 🤔 ?) because I was under the impression that #Minecraft was built on the #Roblox platform 😅 #Millenials be like 👍

This #twitter thing was fun. Until it wasn’t. 🤔

Just bought some #bitcoin Sorry to everybody. Surely the price will start to go down for three weeks straight now 😥

The Catholic monastic custom of making beer or ale 🍺 can be compared to the Buddhist Dalai Lama starting a brand of sigarets. I propose “Holy Smokes” as a brand name 😂 I stole that line from @gregjenner Greg Jenner, by the way. I’m not halfway that funny 🤔

This confirms both of my suspicions. As a kid I remember it was quite a bit colder in winter then nowadays. Also, it’s a lot warmer in the summer months then it used to be. Climate is always changing, we find the bones of sub tropic animals here that went extinct. But these changes are happening far faster then the natural progression of climate change.
