Andoid updated the other day and one time I unlocked my phone to see this. Wtf.

To give you an idea of how toxic legacy social media is, two people were killed in my city (vegas) over "youtube beef"

Las Vegas Strip shooting leaves 2 dead after apparent social media spats

Two people were shot to death late Sunday night on the Las Vegas Strip and a suspect was being sought, police said, after apparent feuding on socia...

Excited for a nostr SmartTV app where I could zap creators directly from my couch

AI is making it easier than ever to flood the internet with low-effort content, but great creators can still stand out by HOW they use the tools. Platforms like Nostr, powered by zaps, give control back to users to curate what truly deserves attention.

The value proposal for businesses from nostr is actually crazy. Marketing, online commerce, fundraising and even TIPS all rolled into one.

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.

GM. I literally get hyped just thinking about the possibilities and potential of nostr. 🤓😅

A good gift involves sacrifice.

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.

Dang he is just pumping them out. Nice to have him back. Hopefully he starts up the pod again.

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?

Oughta be a crime to bring your bluetooth speaker out to nature

The nostr swag I was able to grab at #nosvegas

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