If AI is so great and hardware is basically just cheap junk that costs almost nothing, you know, because we exploit poor people for it, then why is there still no small handy simultaneous translator that translates into every language in real time?

I think this product insertion into the normal Nostr feed can really work. Honestly, how often do you visit a Nostr marketplace? But your normal Nostr client is open almost every day. And for the first time, I'm discovering that someone I follow actually sells a product that I've always wanted to buy. But so far, I've only seen providers from overseas; this one is right around the corner and delivers to me. The concept could actually work, even from a market perspective. And I like having products sprinkled into my feed, because I know I can buy all of them with Sats. If anyone wants to give it a try, head over to (the web version is always further along, with fewer bugs, + now it even has product bookmarking). Then turn on the Marketplace in the Addon Settings and let a few products get added to your feed. View quoted note โ†’

Clique building on Nostr is brutal. If you're in it, you get celebrated for every little fart. If you're out, nobody notices anything from you. It's not about quality, it's about relationships. It's an unholy clique. And they want to solidify it even more with all these poorly thought out WoT mechanisms. That's one of the main reasons I want broad adoption. So that this group's interpretive dominance gets broken up and split among several other groups.

Nostr isn't just posting notes, Nostr is also about commerce. But what's the point of putting your products on the marketplace if hardly anyone stops by to check it out? image That's why #NoorNote also shows the products from the people you follow right on your timeline. image If you want. As often as you want. Yeah, Nostr can now display product ads too, but the user controls whether that happens and how often. image It's released right now in version 0.6.0. A bit beta since it hasn't been fully tested out in the wild yet. Feedback and bug reports are totally welcome. Oh and the whole thing is implemented like an addon (new architecture). That means you can turn this feature on and off. When it's off, no marketplace code gets loaded into the app, and your client stays just like it was before.

People are like vessels. The empty vessels make the most noise, like when they fall. And the more substance there is inside the vessel, the less noise it makes. [not from me]

And so it just crashes together and falls apart. I still remember how Google fought against free weblogs, only to launch this fake "Web of the people" years later. Commentators also talk about how this can get sued as "defamation" and the plaintiffs end up winning. image

While some devs are still chatting about whether kind:1111 replies should be standard or not, #NoorNote is already giving you the choice today: Comment the classic way as kind:1 or go with the future as kind:1111. Other events like longform articles or NIP-88 polls will automatically be commented as kind:1111. Plus there are a few security and performance optimizations. In Release 0.5.9 and as always on all 4 platforms (Linux Desktop, MacOS Desktop, Web and GrapheneOS/Android).

Is anybody actually using White Noise? Tried it out, everyone in my contacts either doesn't have the client or needs to update it.

You know what's weird about Ramadan? When you dream weird stuff and you know it can't be the influence of the shayatin, but it's your own twisted subconscious producing those dreams.

Huge developer teams with product owners and Scrum circus creators at Spotify, Prime, and Netflix, all with high salaries => they cant even keep recently watched movies and series out of the recommendations feed. Since years. Vibe Coder => One prompt and the already watched videos are out of the recommendations. Whos producing slop here?
