In the last day or two, I've received two zapvertising zaps. The first was for coffee from Latin America, and the most recent was for secure web hosting. I'm not in need of either service at the moment, but believe you me, I'd definitely consider those two before other providers or vendors, simply because they're on Nostr, are using zapvertising, AND are part of the BTC circular economy. #zapvertising

It's finally steak time. Don't forget to have some beef today! #foodstr #steakstr

One of my latest obsessions is this guy on YouTube who sort of chants the entire progression of a given word from Proto-Indo-European all the way down to modern English. These videos make me want to do a MSc or PhD in Historical Linguistics. #linguistics #nerd

@Pawn Dev Out of curiosity, what does it mean to be a cybermedievalist? Are there certain core tenets you subscribe to? What does your day-to-day look like?

WhatsApp's new privacy settings allow users control over who can see their profile photos? I'd much prefer anonymous account creation and protection from metadata mining! That's where SimpleX and the like really shine. https://cybersecuritynews.com/whatsapp-new-privacy-profile-photo/ #privacy

Android #Olas users, did you login via bunker, nsec or some other means? I've not yet been able to log in with bunker and don't feel comfortable using my nsec right now. #asknostr

Gm nostriches I woke up earlier today, suffering from "last-song syndrome". I haven't heard this particular song in months, but yet it has been playing in my head all day. ...and now I'll share it with you too! Good luck!

On and off over the last year or so, I've toyed around with the idea of getting an old-school AlphaSmart-style portable word processor. The idea came to me again this morning, so I've been going down the usual internet rabbit holes, trying to see what options out there nowadays. While this isn't quite what I need, I was really intrigued by this option of turning an old Kindle into a screen for on-the-go coding, when coupled with a Raspberry Pi and keyboard:

A colleague has started to use Google's NotebookLM to produce study guides, a podcast episode, etc. for his students to use. Admittedly, it's a neat little tool, but I do wonder if any FOSS and/or more privacy-related options exist. For example, can I install and run a comparable, offline AI tool on my own desktop, something that will provide an AI-generated set of notes, a fictitious podcast episode, etc. for use in the classroom? #asknostr #education #teachstr

Has anyone ever tried an offline, mobile-based AI?

Online and distance learning opportunities have opened doors for many students around the world. However, not everyone is cut out for this mode of study, which often requires additional motivation, focus, and time management skills. In a recent IHE article, there were some rather surprising statistics that illustrate this point: “Fewer than half of students at the largest nonprofit online institutions earn a degree after eight years. Is it an unfortunate reality or a cry for accountability?” “Part-time, first-time students in online programs have an even harder time achieving completion. At both SNHU and Grand Canyon, only 14 percent of that population in the IPEDS cohort earned an award after eight years. At Liberty, 19 percent did. The average eight-year national completion rate for all students is around 65 percent, according to a December report from the National Student Clearinghouse.”

@Bitcoin, are you a bot or are you just on Nostr non-stop? The last day or two, you've liked several of my notes only 1.1239871298312791208301283012 seconds after I've posted them. 🤣

While using moStard and noStrudel, I've gotten a few notifications, asking me for permission to install Google Widevine. BLOCK! #privacy #freedom

Watchman Privacy just interviewed AlaskaAnon about being debanked and living on a cash & XMR standard. It was a great teaser episode, but I'd love to hear even more details on how people can get away from the banking industry and move more fully into the parallel economy. Also, if anyone still uses Twitter, tell AlaskaAnon to get over here to Nostr! #privacy #xmr #monero #freedom

For those in the fiat mines, take a look at your middle and senior management closely. Does the Peter Principle apply at your company? It has definitely held true at most every place I've ever worked. #workstr #worklife #management #asknostr
