You’re right, it is everywhere the ‘move fast and break things’ attitude. But it makes a person want to work in the life and death serious areas so you can escape it. And like you say, it’s the support staff who get burnt by bugs or data issues in Prod. I suppose I saw Bitcoin as the kind of refreshing antidote to that mainstream approach - building its own reputation by it being rigorous and rock solid. Maybe I’ve just romanticised it to myself? But I do hope NOSTR can take its responsibilities as seriously as Bitcoin.

Amen brother, life is one hundred percent about us all striving to be better until we can’t anymore. Peace.

Not mad at all, just concerned at the loss of professionalism or duty of care I see. You’ve taken on the developer mantle and I truly applaud you. But I think you all will need to adopt higher standards as NOSTR grows.

What do you mean? Microsoft have not cared for their users in years?

I don’t know what this even means?

And I hope you are taking this on the constructive spirit I truly mean it. And I thank you for engaging. And yes, I have had a few glasses tonight, hence the typos🤣

If developers can’t be bothered to build a test environment, it only means that there aren’t consequences worth the expense/hassle to bugs going out into live Prod, which can only means that, sadly, NOSTR production is still a live sandpit. I would dearly love this to change by the way. But it’s so not Bitcoin standard yet is it?

Not at all, I’m calling people who are prepared to test in production fools and stating that it is indicative that they don’t have a valuable production environment or care much for their users.

Sadly the essence of vibe coding amateurism is testing in production. It means Production is worth shit if you’re prepared to be testing there.

Nutzap?

Same, it’s kind of fizzled out for now it seems.

Totally get that. But anger’s not a very useful energy, this is a time for clear heads and not giving them what they want or expect. But a humbling is called for and must be delivered, these people are out of their tiny minds.

Don’t be so defeatist, Joe, life’s just getting interesting!

Dear UK, shut up already about democratic due process or it not being in a party manifesto anyone voted on and just be grateful for this free digital id that’s kindly been arranged for you - It’ll fix everything, pinky promise! Tony Blair’s son’s already built it, it’s going to be great, you’ll love it! The automated lottery war conscription function is a total peach. Enjoy your servitude you ingrates.

Amazing response, thank you.

Actually, just seen there is a new version of the app and have updated so will see if the latest version still does it.

Since yesterday I’ve been finding bitchat iOS app crashing repeatedly. It seems to happen at times if you teleport to a channel where someone has posted a hyperlink. The app crashes and then when you restart it, the app tries to load that link again and crashes immediately. The app seems broken until that content then is off screen again once more posts have occurred.

In recent weeks, I’ve returned to learning some guitar pieces that I learned (some incompletely) over 20 years ago. It’s amazing to experience how the brain slowly remembers something that it previously knew - the magic of muscle memory as it recovers the ability to play passages I’d thought completely forgotten and to string the movements together. But it’s also made me think a lot about the passing of time and the past. I’ve found my mind serving me up memories of people and places from around that time that I hadn’t thought about for years, I guess the brain keeps it all stored together?

I remembered a line from a Vonnegut book I read around then too ‘Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time’.

This does sound like a great experience. Family camping and outdoor holidays are the best.

I’ve not tried OxChat yet, sorry, I’m playing catch-up here! Has that got a mobile app version?

I’ve been trying out nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgq6xrjy and that is a really great NOSTR messaging app and already much more. It’s exciting to see where this goes.
