Denise's comments in that thread make interesting reading. They fight well for their users!

Ah. :(( Well, I can see your media, but then I never stopped being able to see it. (From nostr.)

Hi Flick. Does this mean we're in touch again?

Well, I assume they don't exist, as they'd be showing them if they did. But it's what they should do at such conferences. "What would you like me to build? Anybody?"

"A key advantage the uber-rich have is the ability to take a much longer-term view. They think and invest in a truly intergenerational manner, which means their approach is probably closer to that of the NZ Super Fund than an individual investor."

I can read the text "he should be back in Humberside by this time next year." and the video works "He talks about God".

It's Summertime in New Zealand, which means holidays at the beach. Or did once upon a time...

Merry Christmas Flick.

"The collection includes exclusive Sega Channel games that had been feared lost forever since they were previously undumped – that is, their digital data wasn't publicly extracted and archived. The VGHF has also uncovered menus, programming data and marketing material that provide an insight into the thinking of one of the world's biggest players in gaming in the 1990s"

OK. Narrowed the number of clients I'll be playing with down to three. (Meaning web clients.) From a list of eight or so. All of the three are showing reasonably new posts, which is something you can't say about a lot of the nostr clients! Pretty pleased with the progress made from a year or so ago.

Posted twice since the text stayed in the posting box so I assumed it hadn't been sent. :)

Post test 1... (Ignore this - just trying different clients...

I don't remember signers being a thing the last time I tried nostr, but they're certainly a plus. A minus is the nostr recommended one is also a bitcoin wallet. I've nothing against bitcoin, but having to evaluate a nostr client, a signer and a bitcoin wallet all at once when you're just wanting to get to know nostr is just too much.

Still to find out if there's a client I like...

Can't like posts or reply to them, but like with messages, it may just take a while before they become active.

(Weird. I thought I'd posted this yesterday, but it seems not. Let's try again ... OK: "Failed to publish Note." Sigh. )

Trying out nostr again. We will see...
