I can't understand French (the presenters) nor Japanese (Shikawa himself), but I do like to go back to this video at least once a year to watch him work. I may not prefer to draw in the same style as Shikawa or use the same kind of pen, but I feel a sense of empathy and same-vibes in the way his arm moves as he sketches. #aubreykunartyap

(Reposting because I forgot to enable PoW on desktop AAAA sorry) @Vitor Pamplona The Pico-8 thing from the recent update is really fun, and I've been loving having all the desktop options now, without having to worry about the issues of my phone. Plus writing with a keyboard is much nicer. I do have some #amethyst improvement suggestions: General ideas: - Concord channels should transparently show the relays the channel uses to regular users. Currently, only admins/mods of the channels can see it. This is useful for people diagnosing issues or alerting channel owners to dead relays. - Some indicator in the relays settings as to how important Indexer relays are. Unless I'm doing it wrong, I've found that issues of "notes and profiles not loading", usually from people with only a small number of relays, some of which are invite-only/personal, get easily fixed if I add at least 1 of the person's outbox relays to my indexers. Even if they're private relays these still seem to kick it in the butt to pull their content properly. - Unless I could not find it, there's no option to customize what external url handler the "Share" link function uses, it just has njump. This is somewhat annoying when sending nostr content to people outside of nostr, as njump is pretty barebones, lacking replies and requiring an extra step to share links to whole threads. Exposing this as an option to the user would be fantastic. @reya 's NostrConnect firefox addon has a great format for this: ``` {raw} = anything after the colon, i.e. the full nip19 bech32 string {hex} = hex pubkey for npub or nprofile, hex event id for note or nevent {p_or_e} = "p" for npub or nprofile, "e" for note or nevent {u_or_n} = "u" for npub or nprofile, "n" for note or nevent {relay0} = first relay in a nprofile or nevent {relay1} = second relay in a nprofile or nevent {relay2} = third relay in a nprofile or nevent {hrp} = human-readable prefix of the nip19 string examples: - https://njump.me/{raw} -

Snort

Snort

Snort is a feature-packed, decentralized social media client built on Nostr protocol. Fast, censorship-resistant, and open source.

- https://nostr.band/{raw} ``` Desktop ideas (Debian Linux .deb version is what I use): - Right-click -> copy link for anything clickable please, not just notes and profiles. - Right-click -> copy image/copy image link/save image for images specifically as well please, makes sharing and saving easier. - Adjustable pressure curve option for the brush in the drawing feature. For my tablet (an old wacom intuos, using the standard driver), the pressure currently does not work in desktop Amethyst. I don't have a pressure-capable android device to see if it works there. #aubreykunyap

Nostr Presearch hybrid!! I used to use presearch all the time. It was somewhat buggy, but still worked 99% of the time - the image search in general was the buggiest but when it worked it _worked_. When they rugpulled it I was upset and haven't found a good alternative. Had been swapping between some SearXNG and DDG but neither really work all that well (The SearXNG instances I tried, in a private window, reset the settings constantly and start getting 403'd after a few searches. And DDG I don't really like.) Gonna give this new thing a shot, hopefully it's reliable! #aubreykunblog View quoted note →

Realized I should probably follow the owners of the relays I use, when possible. Good for not getting left in the dark if there's a service issue or changes. #aubreykunyap

Gonna start tagging my posts with specific things to make it easier to sort between art-related ones, blogs, and me yapping with other people. If you don't want to see one of the 4 you can block the ones from the screencap.

@Vitor Pamplona is it possible to get mouseover profile popups for #Amethyst on desktop so we can block or follow people without having to go to their profile, if seeing them outside of a thread? And maybe some way to hide certain public chats (and also hide public chats from people we have blocked if its not already a thing). Unless I'm missing something, I can't see a way to filter the garbage out of that + other sections besides follows only :/ #aubreykunyap

Was wondering why I was having trouble with my old notes not showing up properly. Turned out that the hashtag filter in Amethyst also applies to your own content, and my older notes were made before that filter was added. Back then I was using them like one would use tags on an art site... Good to know going forwards I guess.

A small sequence sketch this time, the cow boi OC wearing a very tempting shirt to help cheer someone up. From the groping, it seems to have worked better than expected...!

New cel painting art up for valentines! My Cow Boi OC painted his pecs and abs in such a way that when flexing for a special someone it looks like a heart ♥ Check my dA for an additional clean-scanned version with less dramatic lighting and the sketch too! https://www.deviantart.com/aubreykun/art/2025-02-14-Cel-Paint-Vday-Cow-1159541502 #nsfw #nsfwart #art #hypermuscle #malemuscle #muscle #hentai #monsterboy #musclegrowth #pecs #anime #celpainting #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting

Paint swatching in progress... #cel #celpainting #nsfwart #art #nsfw #painting #acrylicpainting #nsfwartist

Hello nostr! Here is my first upload - an anime cel painting of my OC (and pathfinder character), Lieri! He is an azarketi (fishlike person). While he normally has more bottom-heavy, muscular low-end hyper femboy proportions, he frequently ends up temporarily bulked up with way more muscle (and cock ). This is painted on the back of a transparent plastic sheet that I copied my brush pen lines onto using a laser printer. The full res, along with a flatter scanned version, is on my deviantart! https://www.deviantart.com/aubreykun/art/2025-01-26-Cel-Painting-Thicc-Lieri-1151872535
