Don't use Snapchat, TikTok, or Instagram. Use Bitchat instead. It's wild to see live photos from France, where Bitchat usage is skyrocketing. (I didn't take this, but have permission to share.)

The examples for Dessa are wild. I can't tell the difference between human and agent. It's scary, but in a good way. Personal, local intelligence is the future and if I'm going to talk to my agent to complete daily tasks, I want it to feel natural.

Bitchat, a Nostr app, is now the #1 app in Apple's App Store.

i have never made a mistake when it comes to scheduling my flights... so i always opt out of paying extra to be able to make changes or cancel my flight. it's probably saved me thousand or two over the years as i fly around the world spreading the purple pill. i realized late last night that i scheduled my flight for Bitcoin Amsterdam incorrectly. i wasn't arriving until the day of the conference, roughly around the time i was supposed to be on stage. fuck me. tldr; that's a $500 mistake. double fuck me. welp. we move forward. and there is no backward. how does nostr and bitcoin fix this?

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! The French geohash channels are blowing up with activity. Nostr is a tool of freedom. 💜🫂🤙🏻

40% of the web uses WordPress. that's a massive attack vector. i've been working on an alternative built on nostr for several months, but haven't had time to complete it. it works in it's current form and you can technically use it, but the project roadmap isn't complete yet, so i never announced it.

An app that has Nostr powered chat features is exploding in France. Bitchat, the encrypted peer-to-peer messenger that works without the internet, just hit #1 in the French App Store's social category and cracked the top 10 overall. The people want the freedom to communicate.

I've never used Grok or Grok Bot. I'm a Claude Maxi. A former OpenClaw Maxi. A current Hermes Maxi. I am curious about Claude Duet, but my second brain is over a year old, loaded with data and I like to run my own tools.

We are living in wild times.
