A thing is the physical manifestation of a vast but certain set of facts. The meaning and relevance of that thing is subjectively experienced, even when commonly shared.

The role of the institution is, at best, facilitator or guide. The institution is secondary, in service to the primary individual. Civilization is the byproduct - most possible when institutions do no more than this.

I think I must have a fairly refined taste and well curated experience because my all follows corkboard and my favorite nostriches corkboard are almost the same notes. Like minds stay. That much more roller coaster when nostrfam siblings fight tho. I thought about weighing in longform, and I might, but you guys already know, in time, proof of work out-performs NGU fiat. Good reminder though, 'what do i still do that's fiat?' is not the worst meditation. 'where do I measure with the wrong metric?' kind of thing. Plenty to find here locally before I fix nostr with my words 😆

Day 149 🌻 ✨ "Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received." — Henry Van Dyke 💫 "I am at peace with who I am becoming." 🙏 I am thankful for fond memories.

GratefulDay - Daily Gratitude Calendar

A Nostr-based daily gratitude calendar for personal reflection and community sharing

Deployed to stage.corkboards.me for testing : **New Features:** - Opt-in image proxy - Experimental Tor / socks5 proxy - @welshman/router - link to try get.corkboards.me before logging in on login page - no longer ignores relay auth requests **Bugfixes:** - Account switching, idle time, and page reloading was removing custom corkboards and reverting to combined old/wrong state - Platform parity fixes - Fresh full Opus 4.8 audit: "deep search all code.  audit for vulnerabilities, bugs, race conditions, optimization possibilities, performance enhancements, inelegance, best practices, tech debt, errors, privacy leaks, cypherpunk sensibilities. what would you do differently?  are architecture choices sound? any suggestions? Keep in mind the projects and preferences and writings of nostr OG genius authorities included in skills.md. Check all platform codebases, and in the end, make sure all platforms are as identical in all aspects as they can be. make sure there are no gaps between platforms. web is most complete, so bring the others to match. there should be no feature gaps and in all aspects the app should be as close to the same on all platforms that it can possibly be and retain functionality. complete all, and anticipate any platform specific bugs or differences that must be addressed. Then run full test suite and fix any failures. Fix all linting errors. Fix all findings, even low priority. Do not defer changes." - Client tag is now opt-in - Adding an npub to a corkboard from the profile modal was causing screen lock - 'Save Now' option shows in desktop mode also

Thomas Massie roundup. #40hpw #tldr we're to believe ky chose a nobody candidate who wouldn't debate and whose only declared position is instituting the draft over a popular incumbent (massie) who is most famous for being among the few still pushing for epstein accountability, no funding other countries, and no war with iran (overwhelmingly popular positions). And the reason they chose draft guy, we are to believe, has nothing to do with the $9 million spent on massie's opponent by israeli donors. It's getting obvious. And fyi, of course, I don't think our government has a right to do to other countries what the netinyahoo party is doing to us. powa to the pepples

#TIL flatfish have an eye that migrates to the other side of the head after birth. It helps hunting and predator aversion from the ocean floor to have two eyes up. This seems key to epigenetic study by I didn't find multi-generational studies that manipulate environment to see whether the eye migrates even when disadvantageous over multiple generations. Seems to me that the obvious assumption is that we'd find reversibility in this adaptation. And that the calcified institutions would doubt that reflexively.
