Had to turn on the heat. When it's time, it's time.
Cold, windy, rainy -- hoodie weather is here.
I really was hopeful that Bluesky would get it together, but let's face it: decentralization is just not a priority. It's Nostr or nothing.
Nostr is still the best.
Morning Nostr, hope you all have a blessed weekend!
Yep! It's all just old now. Time for new ideas in films.
Excited to see Oppenheimer Monday. We need movies like this. Something, anything other than cape crap and the regurgitated bowels of the 80's and 90's.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard in regard to art: create for yourself. Do what you want. Create for a party of one. Whether it catches on with an audience is secondary, far less important than whether or not you create something beautiful you yourself are willing to stand by.
Nostr embodies this, which is why I've loved being here these past months. All these crazy projects, crazy ideas, labors of love, ideas shooting off into radical directions. I love it, and I'm grateful for everyone building on this protocol.
It really is a shame to load Bluesky and see the number of users there who would derail what makes it a potentially worthwhile project.
But it’s really Nostr or nothing at this point.
Still salty about Apple’s convoluted logic re: zaps.
Oh, hey Canada Wildfires. Just wanted to send your best to Chicago, huh. Cool, cool.
I can't believe how fast you guys build. Keep rocking it, devs.
Seeing same thing in Iris -- a $30,000,000 zap lol.
Entertaining to see the Bluesky community grapple with the realities of a semi-open platform. The whole project is doomed, because I have no doubt they will bend the knee.
Nostr is inevitable.
Nostr is just the superior platform, pure and simple.
Twitter currently folding in on itself.
Kinda blah zapping a profile, but so be it for now.
My solution for the past year or so has been to carry around both an iPhone and a GrapheneOS Pixel. As much as I love the open source freedom of Graphene... none of this is iPhone quality.
Sorry I missed this post -- it's a good one.
The only thing I'd suggest here is that third-party APIs have been tolerated in the past because even though they don't produce direct revenue, they tend to increase valuation for a company that goes/is public because they bolster user engagement numbers. Twitter jacked up their prices intentionally to kill the API, because it's now a privately held company that is very reliant upon ads.
As Reddit looks to go Public, alienating a large swathe of their userbase has the real potential the devalue their IPO, which is why it's all the more confounding to me that they moved forward with this.
