Podcast subscriptions in Vega are now linked with your nostr account. Would anyone with a MacOS be willing to test if Vega is working ok on Mac please? I unfortunately can't test it since I don't own an Apple computer. I'd be interested to also hear if there's any problems on any of the Linux distros. All I could do is test Windows versions and Arch which I use, btw ;) #askNostr More details are on the website

Vega desktop client 0.12.13 - what shipped this month: Six releases between v0.12.8 and v0.12.13: - **Linux memory crash fixed** (v0.12.8). Traced an OOM regression to the Blossom URL auto-detection regex; memory now peaks around 1.5 GB instead of 8–12 GB. - **Web of Trust everywhere** (v0.12.9). WoT filtering extended from the global feed to following + trending, reaction pills, and zap totals. Zaps are filtered by the inner zapper's pubkey, not the LNURL service. - **Security update** (v0.12.10). Tauri 2.10 → 2.11.1 (Origin Confusion IPC fix), rustls-webpki, dompurify, postcss. - **Read-only mode polished** (v0.12.11). Visitors without a key (or signed in with just an `npub`) no longer see broken Publish buttons. Write surfaces are guarded throughout; sidebar hides account-bound views until you sign in. - **Podcast subscriptions sync via Nostr** (v0.12.12). "My Podcasts" is now published as a NIP-51 kind 30003 bookmark set keyed to your pubkey — your show list follows your account across devices. Latest: v0.12.13. Linux + Windows auto-update. Arch via `yay -S vega-nostr-git`. DOWNLOAD FOR MAC, WINDOWS and LINUX:

relay2 on veganostr.com being tested right now...

I'm gonna try that again with #AskNostr Can somebody explain to me why is what Sailor is doing any of our problem? How is what he's doing in any way making our Bitcoin worse? I ask because I just don't see it. And I might be missing something obvious here... But isn't what he's doing only a successful product build on Bitcoin? Isn't his buying Bitcoin making our Bitcoin worth more? Isn't scarcity the whole point? What am I missing here?

Checking out the Hermes-agent...

The 0.9.9 release is using Vertex for reputation. You can see iot working under profile. Also.. this is how Settings look like now. BTW: the screenshots are from Omarchy Linux, which is of course using Hyprland and in mostof my shots the app is on the half of the screen
