nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c At one time I was able to see private people lists that I created in Gossip in Amethyst. But now I no longer see them. I can still see my gossip public lists but no longer the private ones. Do you still use Amethyst? Can you see private lists created in gossip in amethyst?
(I'm at v. 0.92.1-PLAY for Amethyst and HEAD of master branch (d6f4e4c) in gossip)

In case anyone wonders why I punch them in the face if they walk by me wearing Ray Bans.
When I did a keto diet for a few months it was a very interesting experiment. This was many, many years ago. My experience was that I was constantly ravenous and I was eating constantly while on the diet. It felt very weird to be eating so much and especially so much fat. But I followed the diet I was using and it told me to eat as much as I wanted as long as I didn't stray from the specificied foods - and in particular zero carbohydrates. I'd eat a full, huge meal and then be hungry enough to eat another meal like it 2 hours later.
Very quickly I could feel that my metabolism had shifted into a different mode. And even though I was eating what seemed to me like ridiculous quantities of meat and fat, I started losing body fat within a few days and that continued for a while (maybe 3 - 4 weeks if I am remembering things right) until I plateaued at a lower body fat level.
While I was on the diet, no matter how much food I ate, it never felt actually satisfying. And even though the food I was eating was extremely high quality and very well-prepared, it always seemed like it was missing something. It's hard to put in words what I am trying for but it's like the food was simultaneously delicious and completely blandly uninteresting and all the while I was totally ravenous. It was weird.
I don't think it would be a healthy diet (for me anyway) for a long period but I think it was a really good metabolic reset for a short period. I think of it kind of like running a gas engine flat out for a while to blow out all the carbon deposits. Engines always seem to run cleaner after that treatment and that's kind of how my body felt after the keto diet.
Anyway, that was my experience. I'd say that if you find yourself craving more food than you are "planning" (in the Mike Tyson sense of things) to eat, to go ahead and eat as much as you want. That's what I did, anyway. Just stay away from the carbs which I think would inhibit that metabolic switch that I was talking about and then your body might keep storing the fat instead of burning it.
The endless march of enshitification plods relentlessly onward.
nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c I'm running gossip on macos, self-compiled from master and currently up to date with github. I no longer see any UI to toggle persons on my lists as private or public. Maybe I just can't remember where that used to be? Or is it gone permanently or temporarily? Or is there a bug?
Here are a couple worthwhile posts on baking (mainly wholegrain) bread with sourdough starter:
Fwiw, another data point. I've been using graphene for over a year now and it has been super stable and reliable for me all along. When I first got a pixel to try it out it was very much experimental for me because I just assumed that all kinds of stuff wouldn't work. But after a week of use it was clear to me that it worked better in every way than my Samsung phone on regular Android and I made the full switch.
Where I live out in the country we have shit cell service so I rely on wifi calling and text. This was the primary thing I figured wouldn't work so well. But it turned out to work way better than my other phone.

Hey nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c, I think i remember seeing that you use or have used Amethyst sometimes. I'm noticing that I like one thing that Amethyst does that gossip doesn't do (yet?). When looking at a reply, I like how Amethyst puts a "preview" of whatever note the reply is to within (above) the rendered reply in the timeline.
For me this seems like better UX than just having the link to the replied-to note which takes you to the full thread timeline. I like that link too because I often want to click into the full thread view. But there are a lot of times that having only the context of the direct parent of a reply is plenty and it would be a lot more efficient to not need to click over to the full thread in those cases.
There is another TOR app, InviZible Pro, which you could use that would allow you to force the app through Tor, whether it supports it or not. You can use it as an Orbot alternative or as a Tor Vpn.
This would allow you to apply it system wide or on a per app basis. It also includes DNScrypt, I2P, and a firewall.
I've been using it for over a year now.

Cool - thanks for the heads up.
Not sure if I am understanding what you are saying but what I hope amethyst does when I set it to connect via tor / orbot is that if orbot is switched off or unable to connect to the onion network for whatever reason, then I want amethyst to not connect to anything anywhere - I want to see a blank screen in amethyst in that case which will let me know that something is wrong with my connection.
IOW if I say connect via tor / orbot, then don't connect (of fail back) in the case of tor / orbot not being connected.
otherwise i will never know if I am actually reading and posting via Tor or not unless i am constantly checking whether orbot is connected.
I’m curious what you think about the self hosted AP server model nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6
Sorry, but what's this guy going to do when his pirate ship gets blocked "from port" by other Mastodon instances?
While we're at it we should also #banraybans. As well as any other glasses / sunglasses manufacturers teaming up with the likes of poop-for-brains CEOs like zuck to put ubiquitous surveillance devices on the faces of every fucking human walking the streets of earth.
How can we get more long form content on to Nostr? This seems like a great place for blog posts, substack style newsletters, medium like posts, etc… But it’s not so easy. The wordpress plugins for nostr do unformatted short posts with links.
We added long form markdown support to rsslay, https://github.com/planetary-social/rsslay , but rsslay has some pretty big design flaws which can’t be fixed. It doesn’t act like a normal relay, it doesn’t store anything, instead each time you request an npub it goes and redownloads the rss feed associated, creates NEW events, and provides them once to that client that requested them, and then deletes the events from memory. So if multiple people follow a feed, they’re all slowly getting different versions of the event.
I want it to be easy, nicely formatted markdown, ideally with support for the paid subscription content stuff nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft is working on.
Thoughts? Has somebody built something? RSS is probably the easiest way although lots of formatted content in rss is a mess. It needs to be something that can push to multiple relays the way mostr does. It needs to import once, and then scale with the nostr network. Users who comment on the post need to be commenting on the SAME event, not multiple versions of the event.
We’re SO SO SO close to this working, yet somehow it doesn’t.
I'm definitely planning to get long form content from Wordpress -> nostr working in my nostrtium plugin as soon as I have some clear time to dive into it. I've had no time to work on it for some months now, but I hope to have a window sometime in February when I can work on this.
So then you still want your laptop to be your laptop but you prefer a different framework of defining what that means in principle and in practice than the conventional, mostly western developed-world legal frameworks that currently dominate. Is that accurate?
Although I don't really like this term very much (because I think jargon in general seems to obscure what it's trying to disclose), I find myself mostly agreeing with what libertarians call "natural law" most of the time that they use it, and I feel like property - possessions - mostly have a pretty obvious "natural law" set of rights and wrongs around them that my dogs seem to understand perfectly well without any codification.
When there is contention between my dogs over some property, most often the assertion of natural law will carry and often the less dominant dog will prevail when she has natural law on her side. But there are also occasions when the provenance of some goody is not clear and in that case, might makes right in the dog world and the spoils then invariably go to the stronger, more dominant dog.
For all its warts, the capitalist codification of law surrounding property mostly aligns pretty well with my notion of natural law around property and mostly (*mostly*) protects humans from might makes right losses. Under your interpretation of libertarian socialism, how would property contentions be managed?
That's an interesting political philosophy.
On that Wikipedia page it says that it differs from other forms of libertarianism by its rejection of private property.
Do you reject the notion of private property? And if so, does that mean all so-called property or only certain classes of property? IOW if we ran into each other at a coffee shop and I chose to walk off with (what I would call) "your" laptop, would that be congruent with your philosophy?
And I can only take credit for coding. nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk came up with the design.
Good on both of you then.
nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c I like the new gossip login screen. Very polished. Also nice that the insertion point defaults to being active so you can just start typing or pasting right off the bat without clicking or tabbing into it.
I'm able to use lists in X accounts that are private / non-posting. But the UI for creating lists has become extremely obscure and unintuitive. You maybe have just not found where / how to create them?
In the good old days, tweetdeck made it very easy. Also when "free speech champion" twitter allowed 3rd party clients, tweetbot (by tapbots) also made it easy and so clean to use. As far as I can tell, twitter under elon is hell-bent on making it entirely un-usable. Aside from people knee-jerk disagreeing with his politics, I think the UI devolution of twitter is probably driving a lot of people to nostr.
