I feel like Apple’s current leadership needs to hear this.

lost

Yeah, too many companies and developers seem lost to me these days. Kinda sad.

That’s why I have hope for Nostr, but in order for it to be different and successful we need to build it, it won’t build itself. It’s an idea really right now, not a finished product by any means.

💯

It’s an idea that isn’t very well defined. Maybe that’s a feature and not a bug, but there’s not a “common enemy” or “muse” to go after.

nostr is ~not~ a product like that, and it’s not a company

The map is not the territory. We need more scouts or maybe “imagination” to figure out what exactly is the territory.

are there maps of the nostr territory?

nostr is decentralized and goes wherever it goes by the devs and users. don’t need to preemptively define borders around nostr.

Territory = what is possible.

🙂 nostr is so cool and so much is possible

It seems like long road again...

Word

Absolutely miss the guy. Cook is a strategist and was a financial officer before being the CEO, not a big fan of the guy although his strats are effective for growing the company.

Jobs' keynotes were what I used as a reference to learn how to hold a presentation infront of people. He was interesting to listen to, had a very colorful personality and although I don't agree with all of his decisions, I did fall for his rizz. x)

But, in early 2022, I stacked a MacBook, an iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch, put that infront of my parents and told them, "you can sell this now." Apple isn't fun anymore and their accessibility beyond broken. When you enable color inversion and then swipe down to open Spotlight, the keyboard is just plain white - tested on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. This wouldn't fly under Jobs...

Cook the best nowadays

Jobs doesn't like China. Cook likes China. Cook is an excellent person in operation management.

He relies on iPhone sales in the Chinese market.

China has a population of 1 billion and only 300 million people use iPhones.

🫢

Jobs, who doesn't know China, has never been to China.

He said that Chinese people couldn't afford to buy iPhones, so before 2012, Chinese people could not buy iPhones in China.

At that time, Chinese people went to Hong Kong to bring iPhones back to mainland China to sell.🫢

Wait I thought we were just trying to be the new Twitter.

Someone inform The Jaf, he'll wanna hear about this.

…even if I have to fix the internet from scratch

Bonus points if you realize what you're doing has never been tried.

Different is as different does.

Solve a problem for yourself .. and check if others have the same problem ..

If there are many ..many will adopt.

If there is none .. you shall feel good. That is all what matters !

What do people want out of their online time?

(1) to feel heard

(2) to contribute their part to something that matters

(3) to be entertained (and / or distracted)

(4) to collect knowledge / wealth / available time

(5) to establish and engage and add value to a community

(6) to be true to themselves while accomplishing 1-5

(7) to not be or feel threatened or ostracized

Missing anything else obvious? Just brainstorming here.

Differentiate, don't compete

"we are going to do it so differently, everything we do will not work with the rest of the world and we won't allow people to access their own hardware because then all of our vulnerabilities would be much more obvious." I believe was the direct quote.

True 👏💫😊

I tried to be normal. I failed miserably. Gonna fuck around and just be me now. ✌️✨✨

So true

Apple has joined the NVIDIA party!!🥳 Apple is ordering *$1 BILLION* Dollars of NVIDIA server to help sweet Sisi. I can’t believe this like siri was the trailblazer light years ahead of everyone and she’s way behind. Apple has to do whatever it takes to regain traction.🤖🍏📱⌚️🖥️💻💜

I hope Apple will have an update on AI siri at WWDC 2025.🍏📱💻💜

You've got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology - not the other way around.

extremely grateful to Steve Jobs and his contribution to technology

Hi jack 🤟🏴‍☠️😉 Steve Jobs’ quote speaks to the essence of innovation and disruption. Rather than simply outpacing competitors, the focus should be on creating a unique value proposition that completely shifts the landscape. It’s not about improving on what already exists, but about redefining the problem and offering an entirely new perspective or solution. Jobs understood that true innovation lies in distinguishing yourself from the competition by thinking differently not just better leading to breakthroughs that change industries, rather than just competing within them.
