Yaldabaoth will not be pleased.

I don't suppose that means he gets his seized bitcoin back?

I wouldn't put my farm boots on my head for anyone but the Nostr fam 😂 #verified ?

I bet you also didn't expect to make money (zaps) for the verification!

I think that AI can be very useful, but the way that Elon and other tech oligarchs are trying to use it in their products creates problems for the rest of us. Where there are problems, there are incentives for entrepreneurialism. This problem is part of why I continue to be interested in Nostr and other decentralized protocols.

For me, before I deleted X, same post on each platform within an hour:

On X: THOUSANDS of followers, yet somehow 5 views

On Nostr: not even 200 followers yet, but still a bunch of likes, and many zaps from people I don't even know

If you need system stability, then Windows is currently still probably the best. I did pretty well using Pop_OS and X Box cloud for a while before I repurposed that machine for a home server. It's highly dependent on having a consistent stable internet connection.

Any thoughts on the free versus studio version?

#asknostr what are your recommended video editing tools of 2025? Yes, I can (and did) look this up on pcmag.com, but I want to hear what you say.

I just nuked my personal X account. 30 days until it becomes official, but I wasn't getting anything out of it after I disengaged from politics.

It's been so long since I set up my Nostr npub, I wonder if I should re-introduce myself on here.

Here are two pages from the Foreword in nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzq6ksswfdrw4r7mlh49qfu2k9u4zrtpextk955kquvpna3r4rq9vyhr9mpy 's nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytngv4uxsetc9ehkumrfdejszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ek82tntv5q3samnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwfjkx6mvv4ehxtnyv4mqzxthwden5te0dehhxarj9eex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qqgqjfcf7r2xh4ae4wnnrwew3r25kpg5d7vay6wn7ktt4mzkhx76dtydl08x7 . I've been pondering in recent days about how a Bitcoin standard would reincentivize how wealth flows and accumulates in the economy, and the reorientation from high to low time preference. This frees up a lot of people to better orient, plan for, and use their time.

We could be on the cusp of seeing great things, even a new "Age of Heroes". If so, what role do you play in ushering in that new age?

With how badly shadowbanned my account is on X, I'm about 90% there. These days I mostly use it to tell people to join Nostr.

Humanity certainly needs a secure repository for literatr. As things are, we don't even know the true history of much of the past 50 years, let alone vast swaths of the many thousands.

beyond shitposting, i don't really care about a GIF keyboard at this current time. i use gifbuddy.lol from nostr:npub1hee433872q2gen90cqh2ypwcq9z7y5ugn23etrd2l2rrwpruss8qwmrsv6 and i'm perfectly happy. we have other, more pertinent tasks that need to be implemented and ironed out, IMO. such as stability and performance, bringing about consistency, are some of our collective largest hurdles.

Thanks for saying that. I agree, stability and performance are key. You can add the bells and whistles once the engine is consistently running correctly.

First steak dinner of 2025.

What was meant to be yesterday's post. I couldn't get it to work on my phone at first, so I'm reposting it today!
