Did you know that there is a whole subgenre of music called 'Sovietwave'?
As one commenter describes this style of music, "Sovietwave is not nostalgia for the past, but for a future that never happened."

I've seen a lot of hype over Anonero from the amazing #Monero community, and it reminded me a lot of #SeedSigner.
One of the most noticeable differences, of course, is that you could simply use two phones instead of needing to assemble a separate device entirely (RaspPi or the like).
Has anyone built anything similar for #Bitcoin? A pair of apps on two separate devices (one online, one offline) that can securely sign transactions?

It's been a while since I regularly checked the Global feed.
Over the last day or two, I started looking again. There are some great memes and #coffeechain pics.
Yet, there's also a ton of content flowing in now, all in Chinese and Japanese. Is it time to learn some new languages?
Hello to you and everyone else over in #Philippines!
In addition to ube treats like you've got there, I miss Goldilocks and wish I could grab some polvorón right about now.
If other fellow is actually in a stall (and not standing at a urinal), I'd be very concerned with how he's seated on the toilet. 😆
Time to launch your own online course!
As an educator, I can tell you that the concepts of 'virtual reality' and 'augmented reality' are already popping up in the curriculum as well as in official, standardized tests.
This sort of thing is not going away.
Solid, high-protein meal there. I think I'll have to make something similar later today!
That awkward moment when you are searching for old DDR music on YouTube, thinking you'll get some anthems from the old 'Deutsche Demokratische Republik' (East Germany).
Instead, YouTube shows you a bunch of 'Dance Dance Revolution' songs.

Just out of curiosity, could you share how much that would be where you live?
When I last had a bowl (in Southeast Asia), something comparable was roughly US$6 at a chain restaurant.
Does anyone have a time machine I could borrow for a few hours?
I just learned that .dd also used to be a thing, but sadly the TLD was revoked or discontinued. What a shame!

I don't pay attention to Alby that often so just noticed that, over the last month or more, I've been getting spammers zapping me with messages about their crypto-related marketing & links.
Anyone else running into this on Nostr? In theory, I assume there's no real danger as they're sending me free sats, right?

Out of curiosity, how would one go about registering for an SU domain?
Just asking for a friend...
The other day, I was working with colleagues to find continuing education and further degree programs to help develop our team's knowledge and credentials.
It's amazing the sheer number of online programs now in the fields of school counselling and educational psychology. If you include the parallel or related subjects, there are even more.
In the UK, the NHS has been promoting a role called the Education Mental Health Practitioner position. This is something of a counselling role in schools, and there are both undergraduate and postgraduate courses available. It was quite interesting to read this blurb from the PPN about this role: https://ppn.nhs.uk/resources/careers-map/education-mental-health-practitioner
Naturally, there are other tracks for those working alongside or outside of the school system: child therapists, mental health specialists, and so forth.
For those in America, the ASCA has a pretty comprehensive list of both brick & mortar as well as online programs, which will prepare you for state examinations to become a school counsellor: https://www.schoolcounselor.org/About-School-Counseling/State-Requirements-Programs/School-Counseling-Degree-Programs
In much of Europe, there were some fascinating courses and careers as well. For example, in Spain, there is a field called 'psychopedagogy'. Depending on the training or degree, participants can study everything from diagnostic tools to more academic advising. Here are two examples of courses that came up in my search:
https://www.upsa.es/oferta-academica/master-universitario-en-psicopedagogia
https://www.ucjc.edu/master/orientacion-intervencion-psicopedagogica/
And in Germany, Czechia, and other countries in Western and Central Europe, they have a parallel field of study called 'Social Pedagogy', which seems has a related but unique purpose. Thankfully, it's spread to places like the UK as well, making it easier for anglophones to learn about it:
https://www.thempra.org.uk/social-pedagogy/
There are hundreds of other pages and programs that I've been researching, but this is just a small sampling. I hope you've enjoyed learning about my field and some of the related areas of interest.
If anyone else here on Nostr is part of the #schoolguidance or #educationalpsychology worlds, let me know what you think. What's your background? What trainings or degrees have been most relevant to you and your colleagues when working with students of all ages on the ground?

I need to brush up on my Latin, Portuguese, and French, but I'd love to trying something entirely nerdy like classical Chinese, just to say that I could do it!
