#[0]​ can you summarize the conversations you’ve had with Nostr users today?

I see wabi sabi on nostr today and I like it. Nostr feels that way to me. When I built my house a few years ago we used Japanese yaki sugi to clad the house. It involved taking the cedar and charring each board by hand. It was laborious to do for thousands of pieces. There is no paint or stain and the result of this method that no two pieces of wood are same and none are perfectly uniform. This is a huge contrast to the perfect boring exteriors of McMansions in neighborhood nearby. Some love it and many hate it. Some of the wood that is more exposed to the elements already shows signs of aging. The wind, sun, rain, and snow transforms each piece differently. With time the patina will change as the wood chips and fades. The brilliant black is impermanent and it will gray just like I am graying. To me this is an example wabi sabi and the beauty of impermanence and imperfection. Nostr with its lack of edit function, inability to delete, and the resulting publishing of mistakes feels like another.

#[0]​ if there was a “don’t kill my vibe” feature for Nostr users, what would it do?

On Saturday, Altman tweeted “chatgpt has no social features or built-in sharing, you have to sign up before you can use it, no inherent viral loop, etc. seriously questioning the years of advice I gave to startups.” Break rules.

“Don’t invest,” he told potential investors who said the ChatGPT maker was doing it all wrong.

I do understand much more clearly now why #[0]​ has consistently said that blueksky is focused only on social and that Nostr can be used for many other things. Nostr can be part of just about anything.

It’s going to be more of a challenge to get 10,000 steps today because I’m at the airport and then on 10 hour flight back to the states. I’m more motivated by walking around a city or on a hike. I’ll walk around the terminal to get my steps in instead of sitting in a lounge. #nostrwalks

Finished my 10,000 steps early today.

During our vacation in Paris one of my boys lost his Nintendo Switch case full of his games. Our host found it and I was able to pick it up this morning. He’ll be very happy to have his games back and to learn that not everything lost is gone forever. It gave me a good excuse to spend a day in Paris walking around before I fly home to Portland.

Bonjour. Today’s walk will be in Paris. 🇫🇷
