Goid ó ghadaí, goid gan peaca.

I have a natural aversion to the word "progressive" , even though I know that the semantics are entirely different here .

I always found the use of the word politically to be arbitrary and vague . Like you could make progress towards any goal you want, doesn't mean it's good. Hitler was very progressive , if your idea of progress was the Holocaust.

I may have overextended myself with this rant .

I think that the Satellite client would benefit from notifications .

There is something called "communities" on the Satellite client . Sounds interesting .

I don't think there is any conspiracy here , there is a distinct lack of testosterone in the coding community . Just take a look at the ethos of the Cypher-punks and all the cool coding projects that were part of a counter culture in the 90's and early 2000's and now people are more interested in contributing to facial recognition software and censorship algorithms and whatever else. I wish I was better at coding because I would love to contribute to "freedom-tech" .

See , I have no idea what that means , and I've just completed Javascript . I would ask about it in a forum , but I know that I would get condescended to .

There's no competition from me anyways Bevo, tell you that much .

Anybody have any comment on what happened in Russia the other day ? Was it a psyop , was it a fuck up , was it a genuine coup .

I heard that your man , Prigozhin , is getting a holiday in Belarus now , I would be surprised if he gets off that lightly , but I suppose none of us are privy to whatever deal he made with that Lukashenko fella. I heard stories that Prigozhin was asking for the Russian minister of Defense to resign as part of the deal , but i would be surprised if they agreed to that , it would make them look awfully weak .

Does anybody have any opinions that they could add to the whole thing , I'm trying to piece the whole thing together, it's very interesting .

I like the aesthetic of the orange and purple , I really think they look very striking together.

Do you think that Nostr is going to be the new social media paradigm in the near future , or are you a little more pragmatic , and looking at each improvement , and noting the progress as it happens?

Why are people on coding forums always so snarky?

I am trying to improve my writing speed, and I've decided for no good reason to post my little writing exercises to Nostr. I am currently , when writing at a comfortable speed , at around 50 wpm , and that's touch typing without looking at the screen , so I am quite happy with that .

I went to the shop today and bought alcohol . It's a little small shop on the edge of town, family run.There were two men , dressed in navy standing outside having a chat . I don't think that they were both wearing navy on purpose, and I remember thinking that they were delivery men, because they were talking outside a white van .

The middle aged woman that was working in the shop (the owner evidently) was carrying a big box into the shop . She carried it from just outside the shop to the inside, and I was right behind her entering the shop.

Our movements were synchronous for a brief moment , but that synchronicity was broken when she stopped and set the box down , but I continued past her and made my way to the drink section.

I spent a longer amount of time than usual considering what drink to buy, and I recall feeling a little bit self conscious , as this was quite early in the day, and I was worried that I might look like an alcoholic. I thought about it a little longer , and realised that I was being ridiculous. I decided on buying a bottle of wine on the grounds that beer would have more calories , and that it makes me drowsy and sluggish when I drink more than two or three. There were about 12 or so wines to choose from, but white was out of the question. I hate white wine. They didn't have Malbec , which I prefer, although I couldn't tell you why , because I don't know the first thing about wine, I just have a notion that I like Malbec better. It occurs to me now that I have many such notions that aren't necessarily founded in reason or logic, and I wonder if other people are the same.

When I decided on my bottle of wine , I turned around , and glanced at the cashier at the other end of the shop. I thought to myself that the woman looked like she was from India, and that there was a new cashier working here that I hadn't seen before , but as I got closer , I realised that in fact , the cashier was the same girl that has always worked there (I think that she might be the owners daughter), but there was a lot of contrast in the shadows due to strong sun shining in through the windows, that the shadows , at a distance , made her skin seem darker. I paid for the wine, and as she was putting it into a paper bag , I began to daydream about something, but I can't remember what .

I snapped out of the day dream when the cashier motioned towards the card machine urging me to "tap away" . I never like tapping the card, but I did so because I was pulled abruptly from my daydream and it was more of a reaction than a concision decision. Then I went outside, got in my car , and drove home.

The very goodest of morning to you my friend.
