Let's see - notes attributed to npubs that seem plagiarized. Events that are being dicussed and engaged by personas that would normally ignore or deride them. A feeling that sequences of events are somehow out of sequence. Similar to deja vu, but also skipping forward. Something much worse than ReplyGuy spam, where every npub has multiple spam copies that post what for now is clearly spam, but could easily be tuned to post deep fakes.

How easy is it to replicate an npub, and have an LLM trained on relay content be able to post notes in the "voice" of that npub? This is what WoT may be designed to counter, but I think it will also be countered.

Of course, if pain is the response to one's sensitivities.

Gn nostr. Today was significant. For me, personally, and likely, in time, for my family. But they will never know this day was different than any other, and for myself, many days have significance, and who is to say this day is more significant than the next, or the last?

There is no past. Only my remembered experiences.

There is no future. Only my imagination of what may came.

There is no now. Observing is already remembering.

We experience. We imagine. We observe.

We feel.

What next?

Sensing some glitches in the matrix over the last few days - or at least thin spots in the veneer of reality. Not sure what this leads to.

Finished reading Rothbard's Anatomy of the State last night. One of the better things I've read recetly.

Disagree. If you pray to a given god, you are denying part of your sovereignty. There are those of us who are sovereign in body, mind, and spirit, and those of us who are slaves.

I will not fault the slaves for being who they are, but I will not excuse them because of their slavery.

This is not saying that one cannot believe in some higher power. Belief does not imply subservience.

Frustration always implies an imagined future state that has not been realized.

Disagree. In my opinion, giving to others is always selfish, as is any rational action, and any action's rationale from the point of view of the actor. We can try and tell ourselves we are acting selflessly, but this is self-deception.

Instead of denying it, embrace it! We (in general, as a species) have learned that through cooperation (which implies giving), we all benefit.

Selfishly giving to others allows us to properly economize our time. This is a good thing. We will actually be helping in the ways we can best contribute, rather than sacrificing for non-optimal results.

That internal praise? Also a good thing. This is what boosts your self-esteem, makes you sovereign, instead of a slave to an unknown master.

In amethyst, blocking wss:/ is working for me, (usuing two forward slashes instead of one, but didn't want to block my own note)

Always has been.

Gm. Got an early start today (not by time, actually woke up about 30 minutes later than normal, but instead by productivity). I need this, last couple days have been pretty low-output.

Gn nostr. Switched password managers today. And blocked Reply Guy.

She rubs the seed oil on her skin.

Gm nostr. Wen 58k?

Gn nostr. No day is fully as I expect it, and I take that as a sign I am living, feeling, and experiencing fully. Embrace the vision, and plans will evolve with ease..

Actually I think it may have been yesterday when I was wondering how bad those withdrawals actually were...

I doubt I'll ever be over it. I've quit before, once for 4 years, I think.

I didn't gain much weight, maybe a few pounds - but I am mostly carnivore. I did give myself permission to be a little more sloppy with diet choices, not care about intermittent fasting, caffeine, dairy (definitely had more cheese than usual).

You can fix the weight later. Give yourself another couple weeks to get as over the nicotine as you can, then start on other healthy habits. Like cut out food from boxes, or seed oils, whatever you want to start with.

The goal isn't weight loss, it is always better enjoyment of life - that starts with feeling better. Withdrawal is the opposite of that.

Ok nostr linux folks, I left linux desktops and laptops about 17 years ago, when I went to a macbook pro and FreeBSD servers (mostly for work, not by choice) then had to go mostly Microsoft-based for work (different job, but it was definitely worth it.

When I left off, I think I was running Debian builds with a Fluxbox window manager (never really liked Gnome or KDE, but would pick KDE when I needed to). I've ran Slackware and Gentoo as well, but Debian was a little easier to get up and running and still be relatively bloat-free. I've ran Enlightenment, but while pretty, never actually worked all that well for me.

Obviously, time has passed. What should I be looking at now for a distro? Window Manager? Should I just try to start back up with Debian and Fluxbox, or is there good reason to try something new?

#asknostr

Not any better or worse than the many other non-sweetened, flavored bubble water on the market. I usually have some of one or another of the brands around.

2 months (yesterday) for me. Last nicotine was on July 15. You got this, just remember you don't want to love your life in near-constant withdrawal.

try mixing american and provolone - much nicer gooey melts.

I assume american contains seed oils, for some reason, so have mostly eliminated it. But I admit I don't know this to be a fact.
