The algorithmic curated feed became a necessity out of the sheer volume of internet content. The problem is noise to signal. Anyone who's setup their own RSS feed has had the issue where it's either a leaky faucet or a fire hose. But ownership and individual tailoring of your personal feed is the next wave and potentially the killer feature of nostr. A marketplace of feeds!

I know that there are plenty of bitcoiners that are still on Windows/Mac and not using a Free and Open Source operating system like Linux. And I get it. Linux can be confusing and tough to get into. If you're deep in a certain tech ecosystem, that also complicates things. But not running Linux is like having a custodial PC. You don't truly own your computer. You're not free to audit, modify or run the software as you see fit on your own computer. At the same time I recognize that perfect is the enemy of good. Replacing your entire operating system probably seems a bit drastic. So I would say to start replacing some of the non-linux compatible and proprietary software with FOSS alternatives. Outlook -> Thunderbird MS Office -> LibreOffice Video Games -> Read a book Also, with WINE and some other workarounds there's usually a way to get a lot of your old apps working on Linux with a few (although admittedly big) exceptions. Remember, the "free" in software means: free as in freedom, not free beer. Libre not gratis.

I wonder what apps would be particularly difficult if not impossible to replace with nostr. Something like Uber may be challenging but still doable I think.

Anybody here know anything about this Quai Network stuff? Saw a little bit of it at Bitcoin 2025. Is it interesting at all or just more shitcoinery?

What is nostr? A bunch of people giving each other 21 sats back and forth, forever.

Hey gang. It was awesome meeting everyone at #nosvegas and connecting with all sorts of funny, interesting and smart souls these past few days. Seriously, this community is awesome. I mentioned to some of you that I've been working on a nostr client of my own and since I've gotten quite a few more followers since I last posted about, I thought I would go ahead and shill it again for you all. It's super simple and minimalistic. Geared towards the nerdy linux types that do stuff like read email or check their rss feed in their terminals. Its called Nostratui and its built with rust using the ratatui library. Link here:
