Check nostr

Luckily nobody is really posting much on Nostr

So no more pooping 😂😂

Do you have a collection of all of your solo rant videos somewhere? I have an idea 👀

and it's working. people are dumber than ever.

I've been trying to get my 2 sats series specifically together on my website and they are on Rumble too but i dont actually have a playlist anywhere at this current moment

This post has inspired me to share the duck budget I have been working on for myself it’s a work in progress and by no means complete, I think that as Bitcoiners we are all aware of how precious our time is and it’s about time I step up and take accountability and personal responsibility for my time.

I've been in a hyper-curation mode recently, so I'd be happy to help jump on this, and make a playlist that you can point people toward in the meantime before building your own on your channels! 3 questions: 1) Do you have the whole batch backed up on a cloud somewhere that you could send me so I could start compiling them with titles, descriptions, etc. 2) If NO to the above, do they all exist on YouTube/X, or are there some that are only on Rumble/Audio? (YT/X have the easiest third-party downloaders I can use to start collecting them all; Rumble has some inhibitor that blocks external downloading most of the time which is unfortunate; but audio-only ones wouldn't be a problem) 3) Do they all have "2sats" in the title so I can search for them that way, or do older ones still have "Guy's Take" or other prefixes?

poetically said ☕️

You don't count the time that it saves in other ways. Yes brain rot doom scrolling is a waste. But access to the library of Alexandria is priceless. How many hours per day did people used to spend farming?

I was at 4 before deactivating my X account. At around 1.5 hours per day now.

All my time on my phone is nostr and Bitcoin podcasts. If I could get that time back, I’d spend it on nostr and Bitcoin podcasts.

how do you deal with the reality that we are part of this problem

I uninstalled the X app today after seeing nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp0ksxxx2 say he did it and watching Guy's video. Gah, I hate being glued to my phone, but I also hate having no clue what's happening in the world.

I would build a nostr app that helps to create the next layer of the internet. The addictive nature of the internet is a function of the monetisation system. We have the solution fanfares.io

Beautiful Dreamer. I read books, go to a teishoku restaurant, and watch movies at the cinema.

Nostr is way less addictive and I have a much more “mutual” relationship with it than something like X. I do have to restrain myself sometimes tho 😆

Boom! Same. I’m sub 2 hours a day and at least half of that is work related rather than time wasting.

Vibe code a new client?

For sure, I’ve gotten about half of my time back by aggressively controlling my phone addiction. I get the benefits of the latter with minimal time destruction of the former. But without a doubt it is THE most universal and recoverable time debt for society today. I can’t think of anything that compares.

I agree with the premise but it does not account for the fact that not all “free cycles” are created equally. Sometimes you are energetic and full of creative juice when a bit of free time presents itself. Sometimes you are not. You might just need total freedom from conscious thought for a few hours. Maybe a walk in the bush. Maybe an activity that is totally unproductive. In this world of convenience, we, unlike our forefathers, don’t have to work from sun up to sun down to meet basic needs. Boredom and freedom from continual work seems to be a modern condition.

Absolutely, my point is less about an arbitrary increase in available time, and more about recognizing that everything is a trade off. And that the bigger challenge of doing something great isn’t simply “saying yes” to wanting it, but “saying no” to something else to make room for it.

Do some decent sport in great nature surroundings, like running or via ferrata. Then feeling chilled afterwards would laid back and read some decent book! Btw, what would you recommend from BTC space? Especially in audiobook format?

Also I would argue that some screen time is quite good… like all of us reading it, looking at our screens now 😅😂

the kagi news app is great free, straight to the point, updated once daily

Ok

How much of this time is glancing at the phone while - sitting on the toilet - sitting on public transport, commuting to work - walking somewhere - waiting somewhere You can *easily* spend 4hrs with such activities. Basically, many people use their phone during activities that cannot be spent for anything else anyways. What about people who drive to work and have the phone on for Google Maps? That drives up the screen time. What about people who take tons of photos of their young children (like me). Drives up screen time. Those screen time numbers sound unbelievably high - but there are many ways in which they might be inflated - and your suggestion that all that time could be used for something better is most likely wrong because most of the screen time happens during times when no other activity can be pursued. Of course, during such idle time humans should be *actually idle* and allow the brain to rest instead of bombarding it with dopamine, so those screen time numbers are still horrible no matter what.

Fantastic, thanks for the recommendation!

This is such a good video 🔥🧡 nostr:nevent1qqszwuhuz8kr8arcwfsm0ww5ldfj0dw8f6qv76md7hk3pe484hc5aucrpwhyv

They should all be on YouTube, rumble, and I *think* they all have 2SATS in the name. But it might be easier to search by length if that’s an option. They are all less than 10 min long

Many of those times where we just “glance” or get caught on our phones can actually be used for something more productive, and in the video I didn’t say you could get back all of it. It’s a question of what time *can* you get back. Obviously the phones sole purpose isn’t social media, but for the majority of the time and the majority of the people, the time spent on their phones is on social.

Of course. I get a lot of work done on my phone, but it’s often when I catch myself and deliberately turn off social media to be purposeful about getting something positive done

I’m busy typing this with one hand while brushing my teeth with the other! I’m more productive!! Also I can’t focus on finishing one task at work or listen to a meeting without scrolling social media with one eye.. The algo made me do it!!! 🫠

Can confirm.

It’s called the informatica action ratio and it has ballooned massively since social media, smart phones and the internet. (The Arctic Monkeys have a banger of a song about this!) Basically, what this means is that a lot of the information you consume has absolutely ZERO impact on your actions in day-to-day life whatsoever. It can make you wonder.. what happens to you when you dont know exactly what is going on in the world?
