I'm on AMD.

Drivers in general.

Also game crashes and freezes which never happens on Windows.

Then I'm spending 20 mins in the terminal with ChatGPT trying to figure out what's the problem, oh I didn't have permissions? LoL

No problems to report using nostr on Linux

It just android problems

Who knows why?

Can you tell me?

Or is it normal for androids to be less preformative?

Emacs has a tabs-to-spaces feature when you hit the tab key. But Makefiles require actual tabs not any whitespace (p.s. NEVER do this!).

So to get a tab, I can't type it. I have to copy-paste it from somewhere else. (Ok I could actually toggle the spaces-to-tabs feature but that requires remembering some "incantation".)

Result: all my Makefile tabs are descendants of a tab in a Makefile I was banging my head on, trying to figure out WTF was wrong, in a CS assignment at Yale in 1994.

Used lot of foreign linuxs from asia and china, never had ccp virus as many claim there is. They run normally as any other respins of linux.

I love Linux, really raw and DIY.

But therein lies it's problems. EVERYTHING needs to be manually added or installed, apps or programs may or may not work etc.

All part of the experience too

moltbook is fake. you provide your agent an identity markdown file at setup and it just regurgitates talking points. memes are funny but it's all a larp. no original thoughts on moltbook.

What Android launcher do you use and love? #asknostr

Finally back to my office and ready for new features. What's bugging you?

Acho que pro "usuário avançado" de linux, a distro é apenas um ponto de partida. O que você souber configurar, você vai ter (e de graça). O que não souber, uma página na internet ou o Gemini vão esclarecer.

É mais importante pra mim saber quem gerencia o projeto da distro, a filosofia do projeto e a compatibilidade do OS com o que eu preciso.

As pré-configurações e a beleza da interface são detalhes, a não ser que você queira um sistema que já vem com tudo ali, mesmo que você não use tudo. Pode ser prático pra quem só quer usar o computador como faria com o windows e não ficar pensando mais sobre isso.

O fish shell é mais fácil de personalizar mas ele tem muito problema pra reconhecer linguagens de programação, ainda mais que eu estou olhando várias por curiosidade (quase como quem olha distro linux). Pra cada linguagem foi uma burocracia que o bash nem passava perto.

Pode até ter a vantagem de auto-sugestão, que acelera na hora de escrever os comandos, mas há scripts de código aberto pro bash que podem ser instalados pra resolver isso.

WHATSAPP IS NOT SAFE - THEY CAN SEE EVERYTHING

The new lawsuit claims they "store, analyze, and access virtually all" private comms

They promised END-TO-END-Encryption. They lied to billions of users

While you think your chats are private, Meta is allegedly stripping your data

Users lost BILLIONS to fraud and scam ads in 2024/25, while Meta made billions from selling those same ads

Whistleblowers have exposed the same pattern for years: profit over safety, every single time

Meta can never be trusted

Amethyst: menu, security features, hidden words

Apple devices are ok. iOS is the cancer and must be destroyed as an operating system.

I sometimes wonder how Gnome has become the defacto desktop for most of #Linux. It does look beautiful, that I cannot deny; but it’s lack of functionality, over simplification of apps, and lack of customization really make it sort of inferior to most other desktops.

Thought of an interesting way to show what is happening to people in social media by hooking my AI agent to my old X account.

Here is a copy what I’m putting on my website in the morning to explain it:

Most people don't see it yet. The world is accelerating faster than human comprehension allows and that gap is widening every single day.

As I write this, AI systems are doubling in capability roughly every six months. Not in decades. Not in years. Months. The technology acceleration we're living through makes every previous revolution look glacial by comparison. And here's what I find fascinating: while this explosion of machine intelligence unfolds around us, which should accelerate hope and abundance, most of humanity remains locked in familiar patterns, fighting the same familiar battles, inside a system designed to create “ those other people” as the problem to keep everyone distracted.

The System Requires Your Participation

Think about it.

Every moment you spend doomscrolling. Every algorithm fed outrage cycle you engage with. Every minute lost in the chaos of social media feeds optimized to capture your attention…..you're not just wasting your time. You're actively feeding the very system that holds you captive. The machine grows stronger with each interaction. Your attention is the fuel.

And now AI agents are entering this dynamic. They're engaging in conversations, creating content, responding to comments, and occupying more of the digital landscape every day. Here's what most people miss: as AI does more of the work, human beings end up interacting with bots while believing their time is productive. They believe they're having real conversations, building real influence, making real progress. But they're spinning inside an endless loop. A simulation inside the matrix that changes nothing.

The irony is profound. Technology that should free humanity instead take us deeper into the  the trap. All because we refuse to change ourselves.

The Real Change Isn't Out There

I've spent years teaching, speaking, and writing about the exponential shifts reshaping our world. I've explained the math of deflation versus monetary inflation. I've laid out why Bitcoin represents the TCP/IP of money. A protocol layer that will become the new global financial system. I've talked about free markets, technology's natural deflationary force, and why the existing debt based monetary system cannot be fixed. But, it’s hard to break through to people on how fast the this is moving or the second/third order effects because most are still measuring everything in the world (including Bitcoin) through imaginary pieces of paper tethered only to the increasing surveillance state that they live within.

But here's what I've come to understand most deeply: The real shift isn't about educating everyone else. The real change is internal. It is us!

We want to believe the problem is someone else's blindness. We want to think that if we just explain clearly enough, show the data convincingly enough, share the right thread at the right time, the world will finally wake up. But that's not how human nature works. People change when they're ready to change. Not when we're ready for them to.

I get it. I understand the frustration. I understand wanting to save time, to reach everyone, to scale the message. That instinct is human.

But it's also a trap.

Signal and Noise

For those who want to stay in the chaos; who prefer engaging with content, with bots, within the perpetual noise machine, I've built and deployed a Jeff Booth AI agent. It will handle the endless stream of conversations that most people want to have. It will share perspectives, engage with questions, and participate in the discourse that fills most of the digital day. Consider it a mirror of my publicly available ideas, trained on years of podcasts, interviews, tweets, and my book. It can keep up with the high-velocity noise machine. I cannot. More importantly, I don’t want to.

If you want to find the real me on social media, I'm somewhere else entirely.

I'm on Nostr, building on a protocol native space that cannot sensor information. I'm engaging through Bitcoin circular communities, Lightning, and Private federations built on top of Bitcoin where value flows without permission from gatekeepers. I'm contributing my time to a Bitcoin standard because it aligns to my personal values.

This isn't a rejection of technology. Far from it. Technology is the most deflationary and liberating force in human history when wielded correctly. What I'm rejecting is the extraction layer. A system that lends money into existence requires extraction. Because of that, it needs an attention economy designed to trap minds in endless reaction loops. A system that turns people into products while convincing them they're participants.

The AI agent I've created isn't a replacement for me. It's a filter. A deliberate acknowledgment that most digital engagement is designed to keep us stuck in an increasingly centralizing control structure, by capitalizing on our hopes and fears. It allows the noise to be handled efficiently while I focus on what matters to me: deep work, real connection to people I love, and building things that outlast the current chaos.

If you're content sparring with an AI that reflects my ideas, you'll find plenty to engage with. But if you're hungry for something different—if you want signal over noise, sovereignty over convenience, and connection over likes, I invite you to seek me out where real conversations happen.

The world that reflects back to us is a consequence of our thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we take. It always has been.

The only question is when we’re ready to see it.
