Every kind should have it own follow list; and every 'type of thing' should have its own kind as much as possible; every kind should have its own app(sort of).
Follow lists should not be different because of the app, but because of the difference in kind. I.e. it being 'another type of thing'
This way, you get the flexibility, both in the type of feed, and in whatever app you decide to use.
I want to go beyond the Nostr as social media notion, and convey a bigger idea all together. I know i am close but i just cant seem to grasp the words i am looking for.
Visions in the minds eye...
Will be discussing it tonight on the Dutch Nostr meetup.
Weird way to talk about your mom,
The plot thickens
Brave men tell the truth.
The wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles.
A woman holds her tongue, knowing silence will speak for her.

#Sinterklaas
So Sinterklaas arrived, resulting many kids to put their shoe at the fireplace.
As to what the history of the Sinterklaas celebration is, not all that much is known. We know some stuff about Saint Nicholas of Myra of course, but figuring out its pagan origins is much harder. Subsequently the evolution of these celebrations were subject to historical developments through time in the different geographies.
All across Europe various iterations of (seemingly) similar types of celebrations are held. Arnold-Jan Scheer always has been fascinated by the rite, and each year around this time traveled to remote places in Europe to document the celebration. Over 30 years of research resulted in a couple of documentaries, one of them is translated into English.

I am a Bitcoin Maxi because i studied an endless sea of protocols.
I am a Nostr Maxi because i am tired of studying an endless sea of protocols.
You think that is cool? All i am thinking is this poor bit that needlessly gets shuffled all over the place among billions of transistors in an exercise of endless useless actions born out of all the abstraction layers and shitty implementation. Yet no1 notices because its happens with billions of actions per second.
Lightning over LoRa is not going to work, lightning has far too much overhead and LoRa has really (really really really) low bandwidth (the noisefloor magic aint free). You could use another PHY, but then still you are just spinning a whole lot of wheels to get a simple transaction through. Future potential softforks might make it a bit better.
Something like ecash makes more sense; even then you might want to consider if the overhead is worth it given you are dealing with such heavy technical (and legal/regelulatory) constrains working within the lower frequency ISM band options; combined with the inherrent inefficiencies of the mesh topology

I dont know why people consistenty make this mistake: Lyn, when describing softforking vs hardforking you talking about being "backwards compatible" or not. Wrong; its about being forward compatible or not.
For example: if we were to hardfork to big blocks right now, it is backwards compatible; all the small block stuff is valid under bigblock rules. Yet it is not forward compatible, because the new bigblock stuff is not valid under old smallblock rules.
Imagine if Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, had listened to someone like Warren Buffett—a once widely respected investor who has remained skeptical of disruptive technologies.
Imagine if Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, had heeded the warnings of the IMF—a once trusted institution that has historically prioritized stability over innovation.
Imagined if you, a node on the network, had listened to a no coiner because they had more paper fiat than that average person.

#Sinterklaas
He is on his way from Spain, on a boat full of presents. This Saturday he will arrive, preparing for December fifth. That evening, he will visit all the homes and give his presents; or will abduct you and take you back to Spain if you have been bad that year.
This intro/outro from a Flemish TV-series from 1993 does an awesome job capturing the vibe.

These are the best damn wire strippers on the planet. If you're into #electronics and don't have one yet, what the hell are you doing?

What the hell i have been doing? Using a lighter and my nails and burn my fingers with molten plastic in the process and getting high off the fumes.... obviously
#profilepicstr
Apparently there are also people like nostr:nprofile1qqszp55czrt2t7ftq3dduqhthtwfqdkhg8xxs6cqg9wy9dprdlj26tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qgnwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2tcn7hhmx who go around and make squint AI versions of peoples profile pictures.
It is kinda like the portrait paintings of old, where you get an artists impression of you. Perhaps these profile picture portraits end up the same as those paintings:
All collected under one roof and displayed in the name of the artist; and those presented on the image relegated with their name to the little placard on the side that perhaps some read, but nobody really cares about.
Glorious, my two biggest pet peeves on display: screenshots and url trackers;
both demonstrated in sequence.
Hey Nostriches,

Screenshots themselves are terrible, but a result of failure of a better alternative.
But it is such a horrible phenomena; everytime some shares a screenshot of a thing without/instead of providing a link, i want to punch them in the face for forcing me to type over elements and put them into google to find out if its even real.
The enthusiasm for this application is depressing.
