Not only one! ๐Ÿ˜‰

My colleague decided to try the things I've been telling him about lately (@npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828, #Bitcoin and #Nostr) and here it is!

Let's welcome him and #zap him (he doesn't even have a sats).

By the way today is also his birthday, let's make sure he remembers it!!! ๐ŸŽ‚

Mullvad VPN is great but they don't accept Lightning yet...

Did you know that, on this site, you can buy voucher for Mullvad using Lightning? And it got a .onion address too! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sto cercando bitcoiners bolognesi con cui entrare in contatto per chiedere consigli su dove spendere sats a Bologna!

Scrivetemi in privato senza problemi.

Se non siete di Bologna ma conoscete qualcuno vi sarei grato se gli giraste questa nota o il mio profilo.

Grazie in anticipo!

Thank you so much ๐Ÿ™

I'm using nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 connected to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm to receive/send #zaps but got two problems:

1) in the history of the wallet inside Zeus I see some Requested Pay that I never created (in Alby there aren't)

2) I tried to zap a note 10 sats for two times. The payment failed and the amount of the wallet shows 40 sats less (in both Zeus and Alby) but there aren't any transaction in the history

Does anyone have similar problems or is able to explain me what's happening?

#asknostr

Since I'm not a dev I wanted to contribute to #amethyst by translating it in Italian ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Never been into open-source before Bitcoin and I love how anyone can help in some way

Probably nothing but I'm so happy that I did this ๐Ÿ˜‚

I finally decided to personally test nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg so I uploaded the instrumental version of "L'Albero degli Zoccoli", an hip-hop/rap album that I entirely produced back in 2020 for the dope artist and my friend Orlando Trigo.

You can find the full album on the major streaming platform under the name nostr:npub1sl3a8rfukc7e7nzr6jn3qc459hr6qxhj6e3tuhht05s3a52ncazqj0dwj3 (I don't run this account anymore so please don't follow/zap!! If I'm going to be able to log in again in the future I'll empty it). The instrumental version isn't available anywhere except here!!

Over the years I got so tired of the music industry (and especially "hip-hop/rap" scene) at the point that I gave up making music... maybe this new Value 4 Value mentality with #bitcoin can be a big stimulus to get back on the grind... we'll see!!

If you're going to listen to it any opinion, feedback or #zap will really be appreciated!!

Thank you ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’œ

Funny that you ask, because I wanted to post about it already, anyway.

Many years ago, I was a happy owner of a smartphone with an actual physical keyboard. Was the best thing ever. Not a #Blackberry, btw.

Since then, it was apparently "cool" to not ever offer physical keyboards again, but do everything via touch, even if touch was still unreliable back then.

Nowadays, touch has become pretty sophisticated & reliable, but I still don't like how imprecise it is.

I tried a lot of #FLOSS keyboards from #F-Droid, but they are all pretty extremely shitty & I still cannot understand how people are using them. It's too hard to type on them & their predictions are laughable at best.

For example, their touch detection, especially when long pressing keys for symbols, is so off & difficult to tweak.

The worst thing about those keyboards is that they all SUCK ASS when it comes to the usage of different languages. I type in 3 to 5 different languages & if those #Keyboard's even understand the concept of a non-English language, you always have to explicitly switch to that language, rather than being able to type most languages on the same layout & have simultaneous predictions for several languages, all in one.

These are some of the reasons I got used to using a specific proprietary keyboard over too many years, which I block with my #Firewall, so it cannot call home, at all.

Its predictions are amazing & even allows writing some words you are not sure of, because the predictions will lead the way to the correct spelling etc. Unlike your usual #FOSS keyboard, where you are using some stone age thing.

However, even this keyboard isn't ideal, because it's still not great to type on & easy to mistype.

Predictions & #AutoCorrect actually make things worse when you use custom words, because it wants to correct a word that is already fine, but just unknown.

Obviously, it being extremely proprietary, made by a #TooBigToFail #BigTech corporation is also a huuge no-no.

Now, the best part & the moral of the story.

Recently, I found a #FLOSS keyboard app on #F-Droid which finally gives hope. Is it finally an #OpenSource keyboard on #Android, which does not suck ass?

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dessalines.thumbkey/

It is explicitly designed to be super fast & easy to type on & so far, I can only confirm that claim.

The only downside for many users is the learning curve. This post was partially written with this & partially with the old one, because I'm still pretty slow with this one & need to practice more.

The other problem is language support. It is designed & optimised for English, nothing more, nothing less.

However, so far it seems to be very great & once you type often enough, all this will get into your muscle memory & you will be able to type without any mistouches whatsoever & you will forget something like predictions exist, because it's so simple & easy to just manually type out all words.

It also may remind you of good old #CellPhone's, which you could wash in your washing machine & they would still work afterwards.

Man, thank you so much for this answer!! Pretty accurate. My biggest concern it's about privacy. I agree with you that a lot of FOSS keyboard aren't that good... I'll try the one you suggest
