They can, yes. Google Pixel flavored Android is a little more elegant in that regard, but I use a Samsung so it's a little different in OneUI. The thing I like about OneUI at least is just the sheer number of ways I can control my notifications. I can sort notifications by time or priority, snooze individual ones for later, set pop-up styles, choose to show just a few types or no notifications at all on the lock screen, disable suggested actions, etc. But my favorite thing is the ability to go into settings and see my notification history, where I can go see all the dismissed notifications from the day. Handy if I accidentally swiped and dismissed one by accident. In general, I just like using an phone OS that doesn't treat you like a simpleton šŸ˜‰

Ah totally glossed over your second question about Nostr, lol. I suppose it would just need to be really normie friendly... like just them scanning a QR code you provide to start. That would then invite them to a "managed" or sub account (can a nsec generate another npub address?). Ideally they wouldn't have to configure anything to start other than a name and optional profile pic. They should inherit your relay setup, etc. The tricky bit is I don't know enough about the Nostr protocol to know if it's possible to export someones notes to a new identify? I'm guessing probably not, but at some point they'd want/need to be able to manage their own nsec.

The way ios handles notifications is one of the reasons I switched to Android.

Yes embedded with two channels to Olympus. I got the warning but proceeded with the transaction after which I got the time out error. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Actually, I reopened Zeus and now I see a pending HTLC

Yes.

Just tried to zap you but payment timed out sending to your zap locker address, FYI.

Does there exist a Nostr micro blogging client that has first class Markdown support? Thinking about building one if not.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I think Whitney Webb's takes are immensely overrated, and feel like she's a exploiting the Bitcoin community to give herself a platform.

How reliable in practice is a 3d printed gun? I'm assuming the barrel, striker, springs are still required and you're talking mostly the frame/body?

Gaming break:

I loved Breath of the Wild, but have to admit that I have no attachment to Tears of the Kingdom whatsoever.

The sequel feels like the same game, with all of the same basic functions and enemies, and the entire ā€œbuilding and connecting thingsā€ mechanic is terrible, imo. I have zero desire to use it ever, and they have these stupid piles of stuff to build a cart with all over the place like it’s something useful, but it’s so annoying to build them, and then you can’t steer worth crap and it almost never gets you anywhere far enough to justify trying to put it together. It seems completely useless other than there are little quests or puzzles that purposefully add elements where you need it to complete a task… but even that feels forced and arbitrary.

And the ā€œsky worldā€ element just kinda feels like somebody said ā€œman we should do something different this time… what if we had a bunch of floating islands in the sky!ā€ And then that was it. Theres no reason for it. It doesn’t matter to the story. It doesn’t seem attached to anything of consequence or have even a mystery around it to solve… it just… is.

Also, despite trying to start it back up multiple times in my ā€œspare timeā€ (as if I have any of that), and still in this moment I have no idea what the story is. There’s literally no hook, or engrossing question to answer, so every element just feels like something arbitrary that I’m watching without even knowing why any of it matters.

Just really sad considering BoTW felt like a revival of the Zelda franchise, and I think they spent too much time wondering how they could capitalize on it as quick as possible, rather than thinking about how to make another really engaging story & game for the sequel.

Important caveat: had the game and all the mechanics been the same still, but the story had been super engrossing, none of that other stuff would’ve mattered.

Anyway, that’s my 2 sats on why the new Zelda game hasn’t been able to convince me to charge my Nintendo Switch for like 6 months.

I dont game as much as I used to, but when I do I enjoy Stardew Valley or playing Minecraft with my kids. I just don't have the time/attention span for giant open world RPG type games anymore.

nostr.wine works great as well. Paid relay but worth it. I also love how much control Amethyst gives me over my relay selection
