Came across some comments like this somewhere on TikTok... --- > IT bros, here’s a tip for you and a reason to be concerned: if you mainly use #Linux on your desktop — especially #Arch — that’s a huge 🚩 red flag. You should probably see a specialist. > > Right, sure. Instead of a 🗄️ server, you take the 🖥️ OS you use every single day and intentionally make it harder. You literally start using it by 💿 installing it — just think about it: Wi-Fi drivers, something that should be standard in any OS. > You spend dozens of ⌛️ hours tweaking it, and then more than 30% of your interaction with the system is through the 📟 #terminal . You’re wasting the most valuable resource you have — ⌚️ time — for absolutely no reason. > > That’s 30% of a big chunk of your life spent interacting with a computer in the 🪚 least efficient way possible. That means you’d have to have a serious dislike for yourself and a desire to 💀 destroy your own life by burning it away staring into 📟📟 a black screen with dim, barely readable text. > > Sure, you can say ‘but I save 🎚️ #RAM ', but a few gigs of RAM and a couple hours of life aren’t worth it — one workday would cover that cost. And Windows 🗝️ #security out of the box is hundreds of times better. > > So the real question is: why do you ❤️‍🩹 hate yourself so much?

I skip all social activities because my free time after work always turns into job-interview prep or building pet projects… I feel like I’m stuck in the IT hamster wheel. No social life left

**You**: "I dream of making only high-quality, meaningful content! And avoid centralized platforms where posts can vanish due to strict moderation." **Also you on Nostr**: "Uh… I’ve got nothing to share, no ideas for now."

I'm feeling frustrated about why Markdown became the standard and why so many text editors and note-taking apps were created for it across all platforms. Why #markdown over #org-mode ?

I highly appreciate the ability in an OS to disable all animations and visual effects, or at least to control their speed and make them faster. Being a person who spends a lot of time working on a PC, I've lost the pleasure of spending time at the computer or looking at my phone screen. I prefer to quickly finish my tasks on gadgets and then ~~go relax~~ do things in the real world.

#asknostr #NostrDevs Is it possible for a regular user to sign an "kind":1 event with a past "created_at" date? I want to use this feature to send out some of my old Twitter/Mastodon posts, but have them not appear at the top of the feed as new events. Which clients support this functionality? I've tried using Nostur's "Signer" module, but haven't been able to successfully modify the "created_at" field and sign the event 🤷‍♂️ Please guys, write a short instruction on how to do it 🙏 @Vitor Pamplona said it's possible View quoted note → #nostr

I felt the jolt of an #earthquake in Tbilisi 😳 This quiet house has never been so shaken, especially at 8 in the morning.

This day has been unproductive. Except for cleaning the house. There was a thunderstorm late evening, so now I won't even go to the bar. #hwyd

I have lived all my life in Russia unhappily. All my free time was spent studying, cramming and saving up money to leave Russia and move to another country. Now that I've left, I have no rights (and no desire) to enjoy life because, you know why….

Modern youth list their technology stack in their profile description, like "QA Automation, JAVA Selenium Webdriver". I wonder what a factory mechanic would write? - "Grade 6 Locksmith. Spanner wrenches 48x52. Longitudinal non-inertial sledgehammer. Gearbox grease".

I am torn between giving up on everything except for the goal of obtaining a second citizenship or giving up on everything and first allocating time/money for entertainment and experiences to keep my sanity in balance and some minimal level of joy in life

The most obvious thought I've come to lately is that you need to be rich and happy. Then everything will be fine, and life will be interesting and worthwhile 😁

Hi npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe ! Your wonderful Nostur client has a "Signer" feature. I have an interesting question about this 😁 Do I understand correctly that it is possible to send events "back in time" by changing "created_at" field in json or even edit posts by changing the "content" field, but leaving the "id" from the old post so that other people's likes and answers will still link to that post?

I write and send posts, but after a while they seem silly or badly written to me. I feel like editing and rewriting my old posts all the time to make them clearer and more fun 😑 But Nostr is still cannot #edit posted messages. #Suffering

Мне нужно сгонять на #визаран. Занимаюсь тем, что готовлю квартиру на случай если меня не впустят назад и я больше не смогу сюда вернуться... Заодно подумал о впечатлениях, за почти год в чужой стране коих было море. И любовь, и дружба, и страдания, полный набор, хаха. Как же я раньше скучно жил в России, никакого духа приключений, это было пустое жалкое существование. #visarun #впечатления #опыт
