The new Amethyst is great and if you are complaining you are wrong. No, I didn't try it.

Why do English speakers waste so much time on these pronunciation quibbles? English must be a uniquely stupid language. View quoted note →

Lately when I click to delete messages on Gmail the interface acts as if they were deleted but when I reload the page the messages are still there. Gmail is pretty successful, so maybe that's the normie UX we're missing for Nostr to be successful.

We can't fix all the broken things Nostr is trying to fix while at the same time being afraid of offending some misguided prejudices of so-called "normies" (who are never actually called into the debate themselves, by the way -- and of course they can't be, since at the time they get to the point where they can have an opinion they're by definition not "normies" anymore).

There is not a single internet user who likes cookie banners. Many may not understand why exactly they're so widespread, but everyone definitely knows they are "mandatory" in some way, and everyone would be happier without them. Also all programmers, designers and product managers know they are awful. Yet these big corporate websites keep trying to blatantly lie to their visitors saying stuff like "we value your privacy" in the cookie banners, perhaps because for some weird reason they think that that will "soften" the negative impact of the banners. Why lie? Why not admit the thing is being forced upon them and just do the minimal they're required to? This is just one example case among many in which well-meaning people lie for completely unjustifiable reasons.
