Evening #grownostr

Figured I'd share this gem here for anyone else with a fascination for old electronics. Found this in storage while helping some of my professors clean out the electronics storage room and was able to keep it. An old Hitachi cathode ray tube oscilloscope back from well before I was around. Still works great too!

Nostr & Bluesky are two of the most exciting projects in social 💜💙

The general public has little to no understanding of what it means for the social media experience to exist on open source decentralized protocols.

But Bluesky and Nostr will allow the GP to experience it all firsthand.

This is really exciting stuff. Honestly, nothing beats being early. (Granted I’m a little later than most folks here given that I joined both of these protocols around the same time —roughly 2 1/2 weeks ago 😅)

The experience on each of these protocols is vastly different and they serve different audiences for the most part, currently. But I’m sure they will continue to generalize and diversify over time.

It was cool to see #[0]​ address a lot regarding his stance on how social media should exist and who should own it 🫂

Following the fluctuating state of Twitter during the reign of Elon, many have found plenty of opportunity to condemn Jack. But what is probably more productive is to look to the future to see how lessons can be learned from past mistakes and how things can change. After all, hindsight is 20/20. Most people that have harsh things to say about how Jack handled the transfer of power of Twitter don’t have a clue. It’s not every day that one founds and successfully runs one of the most monumental, culturally relevant companies in history. (I’m wishfully thinking there might be a documentary or docuseries of sorts detailing the rise and transformation of Twitter 👀)

I’m really inspired by and proud of the leaders, builders, team members, developers, investors, and community members that make these ecosystems sustainable and make these experiences worthwhile.

Here’s to continuing to push the limits of what’s possible as the world of social continues to evolve 🤝

What are your thoughts on Bluesky? What are your thoughts on Nostr? And how do you see these protocols revolutionizing the social experience?

One of my favorite things about this place is that whether it’s a word or an essay the chances of anyone seeing my thoughts is slim 😌

I’m amazed by people who decidedly choose chaos over peace daily

There is stuff like this all over the globe with both stories and artwork depicting dinosaurs. There is only one reasonable explanation for these, and that is that people and dinosaurs lived together. The dragon legends that exist on every continent, except Antartica, are stories of dinosaurs before the term dinosaur was coined.

If you find yourself needing to remove saplings and small trees, you need a Pullerbear. This thing is a beast. Look at the ridiculous taproot on that hackberry stump. Yoinked it right out of the ground like pulling a weed in the garden.

My only complaint is the feet are too small for soft ground, and it tends to sink in when you lever it over. But a medium sized steel plate placed under it solves that problem. I've had it for a couple years and it's sturdy enough that I expect to have it for the rest of my life.

They'll even weld your name on the handle to make it tough for your neighbor to steal after they see you yanking trees out with it...
