Heino's random AF stint in the "Rock Scene" was so random, so weird and I honestly was so down for it. :D Some actual bangers are among them.
What happened to WoS?
Oh nvm! I mis-saw. It was next to HIS name, not mine.
Damn visual impairment, lol.
Wait, what's that icon next to my name...?
The lil flower thing.
This MV/animation unironically rules.
I swear, I thought all three-letter dot short-tld domains were sold.
Apparently not. Here is an excerpt from an iwantmyname search:

Been wanting a super short domain. birb.it is neat, but i kinda ended up using it as my network's entire identity xD I also have ingwie.me and two others but i just wanna have an ultra short domain to throw email aliasing at, and run some tiny things (like my nostr relay) and just let it sit there as something i can type ultra fast or dictate to someone quickly. Yes... here in germany, at least, we still do dictate links, sometimes. xD
They don't disappear, but change names. :)
Nobody can edit that list, but you and the clients you use. I know of none that directly changes your follows without your interaction.
It is a killer feature for value-for-value enthusiasts and I wholly enjoy it.
But it is equally a mood killer for new people. Whilst our clients are improving, Snort now has a not-very-small "wallet widget" in the top left and it /bothers/ me.
Now how would someone from the mainstream, that largely knows crypto for scams, pays their monthly streaming bills and has never interacted with something like LBRY or Brave's things? There would be associations being made that wouldn't be right.
Eventhough Tiktok and Twitch have a "value for value" feature (they market it as such but its really not, lol) they don't constantly hold a wallet in your face.
I dunno if it is due to the recent developments in the bitcoin space in particular, but even Will is now posting about wanting to make a wallet integrated into Damus...? Why?
I mean, sure, I can just use different clients to avoid features I don't like but - at least from what i can see - the focus on adding more "money" features to Nostr is high... very high, in fact. And I just think that this isn't the right direction to take... But, it's just me, and I havent contributed a line of code - so what do I know. xD Just something that I had on my mind, in the end...
Actually, it *was* possible on Twitter.
Back in the day they had a public API endpoint that would just accept a since-parameter and you would periodically query it. You could even make it return your follows only, too.
It is lllllooooonnnnnngggggg gone at this point, but definitively existed. Back then I used a command line client called rainbow to just stream the newest things into a terminal I would tab into - so it was always dense and full of information. ^^
... Huh? This was in someone's Kind 3. Are those followed tags?

Daaaaamn. One of my followers (i am using nak --stream -p
Can we just fully and finally leave the Kind 3 "Follow List" to be exactly that, a follow list?...
There is something ... nice, being able to just open all my relays in a nak stream and jq them to filter the outputs a bit and just watch stuff happen in real time - and seing how small Nostr objects really are, even as JSON. Sure, something like MsgPack would be *even* smaller... but honestly, those flat objects with a consistent structure that are easy to model and read, even with the naked eye, is amazing. ^^
imho Nostr needs no ETFs, not more wallets, or any other "money" addition.
We got logos now, so we should do something about the "branding", something we all can use to "market" Nostr to other people.
Just a random thought that occured to me while peeking at trending.
Has someone made a thing like awesome-nostr-logos on listr or something?
There are so many #nostrlogos and I lost track of at least half of all the ones posted...

Accurate photo of policitians and big tech people.
Only thing missing is the sausage's label being either Greed, Money or something akin. XD
Thanks for the zaps nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 - much appreciated. But, I just have to ask, simply to make sure, is there perhaps a squirrel smashing the zap button on your node? XD
