So I am using @Alby and haven't been able to zap people for a while, although I can receive zaps. So I'm trying to sort that out this morning. Alby says I need to upgrade to my account and link a wallet, and that I can link my Alby wallet. No problem. But when I try, it looks like I either pay for Alby Cloud or set it up in ways that I'm not technically familiar with (and am not interested in learning at this point - self-hosting Alby Hub). So I guess I'm looking for a lightning wallet to connect for zaps. I have seen suggestions for Phoenix, Breez, and Mutiny. It looks like I have to pay 40k sats just to get Mutiny up and going (am I right about that?). Do people like Breez or Phoenix? Are there similar fees to get it up and going? I guess I could just get the wallet in Primal going... I like the idea of having a lightning wallet that isn't strictly for nostr though... #asknostr

Small project from yesterday. Made a small coat rack for the garage out of a scrap piece of wood. image

I don’t think that technology can solve everything - even AI (LLMs). This is an incredibly important talk and discussion about how chatbots are changing social interactions, including the implications for people finding friendship and falling in love with them. Finally, they discuss design principles that might help avoid social dystopia.

I wish chatgpt and Claude didn’t blow smoke up my ass every time I ask them something. The average person must prefer borderline condescending politeness.

What’s with the bots that just shuffle your words around?

It’s done! 72 hours of work and by far the biggest project l’ve taken on by myself! Even though he isn’t on social media, I have to give wife’s grandpa a huge shoutout. He and I have built many things together (a poker table back in high school, a deck, new top and rails and steps on another deck, a ceiling, bookshelves, and many more) and I couldn’t have done this without all of the knowledge I gained in those other projects. Now, we wait for eggs. lol

Overprotective parents raise anxious kids. They send the message that the world is dangerous, nobody can be trusted, and that they are not equipped or competent enough to raise them to be independent.
