Thanks! I’m in no rush but (in case y’all need feedback) just letting y’all know I still haven’t received the payout. Is it a gradual rollout?

Thank y’all for the opportunity!

By being both deaf and hearing, I can appreciate visual stimuli (like this video) almost as pleasant, with chills down my spine, as hearing the crackling of a nearby fireplace.

Especially when I remove my hearing aids, putting me in a state of hearing absolutely nothing, and ASMR-esque visual experiences pop out with tinges of euphoria. That’s probably the best way I can explain it

Guys my vision for orange-pilling new + experienced clinicians and small business owners alike, especially those who are either running a private practice or soon-to-be running their own business, will soon come to fruition.

I’ll be posting more on here about my plans, my progress, and hopefully a public business site for everyone to see.

Maybe I will even do more research to see if I can do any kind of web hosting via #Nostr instead of WordPress Hosting. If anybody has any information or can direct me to the appropriate resource, I’d gladly appreciate it.

Until then, see y’all soon with more updates!

Wasn’t able to attend the Bitcoin Conference unfortunately, but stoked to use the nostr:nprofile1qqs0t8ftzrpxtac4u5d2xz687u80w2r6w6jdwmr554n27zuxufp0fugpr4mhxue69uhkgetk9ehx7um5wfcxcctevaex7atwvshxxmmdqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjmmwv5h8xmm4dejxsump9e3k7mgg3t7sw app as my primary “walking diary” instead of WeWard - The Walking App

thanks for the rec! 💪🏼

Are y’all looking for a Bitcoin-based physical therapist too?

What are y’all’s perspective on MySudo? In my experience, I have had very little to no issues with KYC upon online registrations & it works excellent with 2FA features

You’d need a paid subscription of either:

• $2/mo for 1 VoIP phone #

• $5/mo for 3 VoIP phone #s

• $15/mo for 9 VoIP phone #s

Along with other features shown

“Nostr Hospital Guideline” wow! what an interesting concept.

Perfect way to start my mornings with continuing education in medical conditions ☕️

Maybe I’ll put together a few neuro/musculoskeletal conditions in a Nostr Hospital (or Outpatient) Guideline article format and see where this goes.

Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsfxkxxw62aneutmc4l8ns7kzjst92ndpmr9gthulf9mmhlnu539lqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7c0uhhy for sharing the article!

Interesting! My immediate thoughts about the new features:

• GameChat - super cool & definitely rivals Xbox + PlayStation with a one-up using Camera feature. Just hope they implement captioning for the deaf & hard-of-hearing community

• Camera - feel super iffy about this for privacy reasons, but extremely useful for lip readers & the Deaf community

• Parental Control - better option than implementing mandatory age verification using digital IDs the governments are trying to push out to protect children on the internet

As for your inquiries, I used a phone with 2556x1179 pixels for screen resolution. I did manage to get a photo of the chat box with the Live Caption enabled, but it doesn’t show the issue I had during the time. Specifically when I clicked to type, the keyboard will pop up taking up the space to where the point where I couldn’t see the chat due to the caption box covering it & if I want to see the full transcript in full screen to keep up with the dialogue happening from different people, I’d have to sacrifice my typing to read the transcript.

It’s a hassle, but what I ended up doing was use my computer to join the cornychat using the room link, enable the Live Caption there, and read the the full screen transcript while using my phone to type what I wanted to say in the audience without any major complications.

To visualize the UX difficulties for the phone by itself, I’ll try to screen-record for better clarification. Maybe that’ll help from a dev point of view

As someone who also takes privacy seriously, I can see from your point of view, as a dev, in how this could be detrimental to the those who prefer to use #cornychat for its privacy-preserving & anonymity user experience.

Though I appreciate you for taking the time to see the barriers from my point of view & considered the options, despite the unfortunate outcome. This was a far better customer service experience (in receiving a direct answer) than I would have gotten elsewhere.

Is it possible to implement Live Caption / Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services for those with hearing difficulties on #cornychat, #hivetalk, or similar nostr web applications for a frictionless experience?

I usually have to use my mobile device’s accessibility features, which in itself is sufficient, but can get in the way of typing in the chat box, muting/un-muting myself, or other typical functions.

Absolutely with you.

In my experience, I spent years and years fighting, even to this day, the constant ringing in my mind that sounds like a fire alarm going off from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.

I only just recently started talk therapy after having reached a mental crisis after reaching a breaking point in my internal turmoil no one else could see. And, as you said, I came to realize that my ringing stemmed from a lifetime of internal strategizing in anticipation of all possible outcomes in every aspect of my life within the next half hour to the end of the month. As well as analyzing all social cues from my interactions that took place during the day and days before that. Decades of being afraid of missing words being spoken to me, saying things that have nothing to do with the conversation, being associated with any form of incompetence or lack of intelligence, or receiving emotional or physical abuse by my loved ones or those I respect.

Reason being, I lost my hearing at 2 years old, grew up with a severe-to-profound hearing disability, and learned to interact with my hearing peers by reading lips. Reading every facial expression and making sure to not miss anything for the sake of contextual clues, being observant at all times was my lifeline to being successful during my academia years, despite the immense toll it took on my mental health. I live my days sometimes with my hearing aids & sometimes without. My self-awareness had to expand to fill the room so I wouldn’t be surprised by some unexpected visitors or place myself in danger, thus, left me with heightened vigilance.

I grew up with this ringing and hated every moment of it. I’ve had sleepless nights, pouring every thought and fears into a journal as if I could transfer it out of my mind into paper, and tried every possible way to get rid of it. I was desperate for anything that didn’t involve crossing the line towards alcoholism & illicit drugs. The constant rambling in my mind was like playing chess with myself and no matter what strategy I put up on the board, my opposition was already 10 or 12 steps ahead of me. So I had to come up with ways to be even more prepared so that I could already have an answer for any problems thrown at me. Board exams, interviews, patient interactions, productivity meetings, financial discussions, etc. My life felt dull with ringing galore. It was a battle I just couldn’t seem to find peace in. A battle that almost completely won me over. Until I sought help from a mental health professional.

Since the start of my therapy, I received recommendations to combine antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds with talk therapy and I immediately rejected it. I’ve read too much about the side effects and potential hidden components not shared by the pharmaceutical companies to even consider it. My paranoia absolutely refused it. Until I reached that breaking point.

I’m not here to sway you or anybody reading this when it comes to medications. That’s not my intention. I just want to share my story. Mind you, I spent countless of hours researching different forms of meds with peer-reviewed evidence & had long discussions with my PCP. It wasn’t until after every reasonable alternative was exhausted before I decided to take the combination therapy route being prescribed medication with talk therapy.

Let me tell you, I had my doubts about my symptoms & even considered it to be a form of tinnitus since the onset. But since taking the prescriptions, it was like night and day. That’s when I knew what I was dealing with was a mental issue and not physical.

That’s when I learned, from months of therapy, about triggers and how to manage the symptoms. I’ve come to realize now that the ringing I hated all these years was my brain’s version of an alarm system/defense mechanism in protecting myself from missing deadlines, social cues, and physical danger around me. I just overwhelmed the alarm system all these years that it got uncalibrated & stuck in an abnormal feedback loop. Now it’s just a matter of recalibrating my internal alarm to a more balanced system.

So all in all, there is hope for us. I hope you know you’re not alone. Our internal hardships has helped us reach to the point where at now and continues to be a teaching experience for us in growth.

And I hear you. 🫂
