The reason I quit using #Farcaster is because I came to believe #Ethereum was fundamentally a flawed foundation. There are lots of well-intentioned people over on Farcaster and I had many fun conversations. The Farcaster client is very sleek and easy to use. But ultimately, the untrustworthy foundation that is Ethereum combined with the gambling #altcoin #memecoin attitude turned me off. This all coincided with me learning more about why #Bitcoin is uniquely the best.
I also suspect the reason there are so alternative clients for Farcaster is because the protocol itself is also complex and burdensome. It's night and day compared to Nostr's wide selection and use cases.

It should be illegal to ship any product without a dark mode
Yep, was just having this conversation with a coworker
After consulting with a #lawyer friend of mine and fellow parishioner, I made some changes to what once was my own content #license. For my use case (which is #writing), he suggested using a much simpler #covenant instead of a formal license. I was not as familiar with covenants, but the simplicity and readability they offer outweighs the more formal agreement provided by a content license.
I want to share my work with the world, inspire others, and prove that you can make money in #art without strangling your own audience. #law #copyright #intellectualproperty
I increased this a bit. And I think TOR is enabled by default which I didn't expect. I'm working on turning that off now.
I'm proud to admit I am not a real man
Good news is I'm really liking this revision of my #book. It has been such a long and painful process to realize the story that has played out in my head for over 10 years. At the same time, I truly believe it will be worth it in the end. I'm really inspired seeing all of the other merchants, vendors, sellers, and craftsmen on Nostr. I want to join them as an #author someday soon!
My Bitcon #Knots #node on #StartOS #Start9 has taken over a week to get above 70%... I'm using old crappy hardware I put together, but this still feels like a really freaking long time to set it all up!
These are my initial thoughts:

Thanks for sharing this. I love this format of a client.
I've screwed around with #socialmedia for several years and have decided it's not very much fun. It's much more fulfilling to find some niche group chat online and chat with people there. Posting out into the open internet feels more like an invitation for headache. I wish this wasn't the the case, but it has been my observation.
After being poor and between jobs for several years, the first time I got a decent job all I wanted to do was figure out how to not go down that path again. Turns out this "working hard" thing is worthless if the game is rigged. You have to play a different game.
I just finished 3 days worth of screwing around with my Frankenstein PC to get Start9 running. I tried other operating systems and different drives. Start9 hated my SSD, but my HDD finally worked. Installing Knots atm ๐
If this statement is true, it makes the statement untrue
Yes I completely agree. Childhood is the first 2/3s of your life no matter how long you live.
Also, I didn't #write a lot, but I did write a little bit. I have a new idea for my #fiction project that wouldn't require me to do a total re-write. I'm going to lean back into the 3rd person cinematic style and see what deleting chapters looks like. Make smaller, more flowing #books without chapter breaks. Sounds like a fun thing to try.
I spent the weekend screwing around with trying to set up a node, but my stupid Frankenstein spare PC with Ubuntu on it kept going into hibernate mode no matter how many work-arounds I tried. I'm going to mess with #Start9 #StartOS and see if that fixes my problems or if my hardware is just too weird.
These bots actually scramble my brain. I give them a B+ for creativity though.
My Bitcoin #node is still processing the blockchain history and I made my first purchase with BTC yesterday. It's amazing what you can accomplish when procrastinating on writing!
This futuristic software is crazy 
Woah, is this the #AI #artificialintelligence I've been hearing so much about??
