I promise this started as a simple script to learn about communities in nostr but, after an extra weekend of work, I ended up with this thing.
A old-school forum styled long-form only nostr client.
you can also call it: https://foro.kiwi
This is awesome, looks really clean too. Great job!
I think follower counts have their merits, but I see the problems with it. A good replacement for a general follower count could be "number of followers that I follow too." That is not as easy to game and is way more meaningful than just random people following someone.
GM nostr. Who is excited for the Apple Keynote today? Not in the market for new hardware right now, but canāt wait to see the new iOS and macOS. Hopefully some of the AI tools will be available in Europe, it was rumored that they might be on macOS and only iOS will be left out due to regulations.
There are a few good ones, all PC game ports, but for the most part, the only way to play good games on mobile is through emulators. I have a Steam Deck, so I don't do that on phones or tablets for the most part, but I do like using ScummVM for old point & click adventures on mobile, it's even available for iPad.
Now thatās a blast from the past. Just saw on the Raycast newsletter that Diggnation is back, with Alex Ulbrecht and Kevin Rose.
Reeder now shows Bluesky in your feed. Nostr when?
Internet archive lost its appeal. Was to be expected but still very bad for the Internet.
I started eating Manuka honey a couple of days ago, lets see if that helps a little bit with my general health since the doctors have been quite useless š
Maybe they won't stay there for long and look for something better.
I waited for a Bluesky invite for a year or so, but never received one. I tried again with a different email (a disposable iCloud mail) and was able to gain access after a couple of days, so for some reason they must block my email provider.
After finally being able to try it out, I immediately encountered a bunch of racist posts within the first few seconds of browsing. I quit the app and never used it again. For some reason Bluesky is a cesspool, this stuff is usually rare and not something you see as your very first experience, even on fully anonymous and decentralized platforms. Even on 4chan I didn't see stuff like that in the first few seconds.
Been away for a while, anything new on Nostr? š¤Ŗ
Don't really know why I completely went AWOL on here for over a year. Time moves so fast. I did have to cut down on my non essential computer time because of health issues, so I didn't do much social networking in general, but that's not really it š
I've seen there are some new Nostr clients (trying Primal right now) and Alby did some changes so I had to reconnect my wallet, hope it all still works.
Tastes really good and the process is quick and simple enough that I can do it half asleep in the morning. Stumbled upon it by accident on Amazon while searching for something to make cold brew, had never heard of it before. This seems to combine some of the characteristics of both cold (better taste) and hotly brewed coffee so itās perfect for what I wanted since I prefer hot coffee.
Leveled up my coffee game
To take control of nostr? I think they would just infiltrate the development teams of the biggest clients/relays instead of making their own. Just look at how many feds were working for Twitter, same thing would happen here.
Got a bit hooked on survival games lately and bought Volcanoids in a sale. You have a drill ship as your mobile base that you can build upgrades for to make it longer and outfit it with gun turrets and refineries and then when the volcano erupts (which it does every half hour or so) or when too many enemies approach, you tell it to bury down into the earth and then you can drive the ship underground. Really cool idea, the only game of its kind as far as I know.
The thing I donāt like about weekends is that they end.
Purple keyboard, purple mouse, purple deskmat, purple carrying case. Don't like typing on the keyboard but it is so PRETTY!
Trying out Bing image Creator
Just got an ad notification from Audible āNew from Terry Pratchettā. Macabre.
