"there are now over 240 Nostr clients and over 500 Nostr apps running in more than 40 countries around the globe" Wow, there really are more nostr apps than nostr users 😂 (excluding bots of course) View article →

Really great book "Earlier cypherpunks had vision without infrastructure; earlier Austrians had theory without implementation. The present moment offers both at once." View article →

What an amazing app. I've been using this to manage/monitor screen time for my young ones. What a gem. Highly recommend. View quoted note →

I set up Immich on my home server and got wife set up to upload family images and videos since she needed more space on her phone and she was just blown away by it. She didn't need to login to Google or Amazon or anything. So cute to watch. "every family should have this in their home!"

https://rusafatoramla.substack.com/p/reimagining-citizenship-beyond-the Good short essay, but how does this brother do it??? He consistently writes about modernity and associated civilizational concepts that are related to politics/economics/environmentalism etc and he gets so close to finding an actual answer but just stops short of discovering bitcoin or nostr or FOSS. So many of his essays are like this. It's such a tease and it drives me crazy!

Always great to hear @Bitcoin Mechanic 's perspective. Good listen. https://fountain.fm/episode/Zkz8oD0hAeFM6r5VeZJr View quoted note →

This hits a little too close to home 😔 "Sometimes I logged on to DM the friends I’d made in Miami—UX designers with endless reserves of Ritalin, a DnB music label boss, an academic doing her doctorate under a former member of the CCRU. Eventually, we all grew impatient with Landscape’s clunkiness. Our conversations sputtered out or migrated to Signal." I need to do better on using more nostr tools for messaging. View quoted note →

Incredibly eye opening history and downfall of Urbit: https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-rise-and-fall-of-urbit/ So much to learn from here. I could totally see Nostr going down this path if the community is careless. Nostr devs would do well to read this. Relevant quote 👇 "Privacy, which ostensibly set Urbit apart from Big Tech platforms, was a staple of their marketing rhetoric—but according to employees, the network’s actual encryption was a work-in-progress. “Sovereignty” was more of an aesthetic signal than a description of my actual relationship to my data. Urbit came to feel uncomfortably similar to the subscription-based cloud services I had previously hoped it might replace."

Alhamdulilah! This went well. Lots of questions about nostr and how it works. I shilled them noornote since it was easy to get started with. My message seemed to have resonated with the folks in the Webinar. There were about 20 people listening in. View quoted note →

Yeah, Bitcoin culture needs a reboot, but I guarantee you that the reboot will not happen on legacy social media (LSM) If bitcoin culture is ever going to be revived, it'll be here on Nostr. I am here for that.

I'm gonna be giving a 10 minute presentation about nostr this Saturday Does anyone have a quick blog post or video introduction that I could base mine off of? Because of how short this is, I think I'll just mention briefly how nostr is different from LSM, how it's open source, how identity is tied to public/private keys and not stored on someone's server, briefly how relays work, and zaps of course. #asknostr

I'm really excited for this! I think setting up another Muslim Bitcoin Summit in the UK just makes a lot of sense. So much potential there. Need to inculcate this Bitcoin idea to Muslims everywhere View quoted note →
