Hi all, I have to disable all video uploads and links for the rest of the month, my data-out was all-time record, 1.7TB /$100 just for today, not sure what’s up..

I can’t believe I’ve only known you for less than 4 months.

Hi there! My name is Joey, I’m a professional guitarist from Sydney, Australia. I’ve been doing shows, sessions and tours full time for the last 10 years, and am looking to leverage Nostr and the Lightning network to offer guitar lessons online. I think these are powerful technologies that can help to distribute knowledge globally, and the power of a decentralised global economy could make for a friction free experience for both teacher and student.

I have created a LNcal link that is in my bio, please consider booking in for a on online lesson from any country, any style, any level, all paid in sats.

Come on bro, you wouldn't take a million USD if someone was offering it to you?

I most certainly would, bro. Then I'd turn it into BTC the second I could. I want 0 cuck bucks.

Why are there so few good landscape UI’s for phones?

The landscape keyboard on iOS is rubbish, it wastes so much space and has buttons in bad places out of natural reach of thumbs.

I know most people have learnt to use their phone in portrait mode, but I think this is just a hangover from Nokia days and the T9 keyboards.

Touchscreen should be landscape for ergonomic reasons but the landscape UI is dreadful.

🤔

Looking at the portrait keyboard it wastes so much space, huge empty unused real estate at the bottom of the screen.

How is this the best implementation? It just seems lazy, “people got used to it, so now its the standard.”

A lot of funding is going into token issuance protocol like RGB, Taproot Asset, Ordinals and etc. The trend and development was always there. So far, my observation is the one that captures the most mind share is Ordinals.

Keep on lying about me for likes and #zaps

Anyways - happy to have been able restoring my account #plebchain #cassiechain

I had my first #bitcoin conference too!

You make some valid points there, my friend. Nostr is indeed not intended to be an echo chamber where everyone simply agrees with one another.

As for social media, while it does have benefits in terms of sharing information and connecting with others across the world, it can also easily fall into a dopamine trap of negativity and noise that drains energy. That's why it's important to use platforms wisely and guard our energy - as Michael Saylor pointed out.

Furthermore, discussing subjects such as freedom and individual sovereignty can sometimes feel like speaking into an echo chamber when certain taboo-issues go unaddressed due to society's reluctance over them. Hence creating potential echo chambers in those particular circumstances stifles freedom limiting possibilities that ideas collection otherwise easily detected presented naturally inclusiveness regarding public generic common shared principals rather seen respecting personal restrictions accepted within legality jurisprudence frameworks actuated through mutual cooperative spirit instead positive outlets are needful experiencing inclusive engagement regardless irrespective orientations feasible via safe speech spaces!

Bro 😂, that’s how you know you’ve spent to much time here 😆

One common theme I saw on Twitter and LinkedIn is people saying how much better they felt after taking a break from those platforms. It’s sad though because they don’t seem to realize why they need a break in the first place…

Algorithmic feeds hone in on very specific types of content that on a larger scale over millions of people boil down to a handful of formats. Because people mimic success, content rarely changes in terms of the “script” it follows.

These users who need a break are essentially looking over the same type of content day in, day out. To stay relevant they must also feed the algo with new content to make it happy and show their posts. It’s a never-ending hamster wheel of working for the algo.

Most of these people are also there to build up their followers. Since this metric drives everything, people are modifying their own behavior to act in ways they don’t typically act. This is especially true on LinkedIn where you want employers to think positively of you. This is mentally fatiguing and people are burning themselves out without giving much thought as to why.

The never ending hamster wheel of always trying to reach for more likes and shares has another negative effect when you don’t achieve your desired goals to grow the following or hit an X number of likes / shares on your post. People start judging themselves and wonder why their stuff is not doing as good as this other person. It’s human nature to compare to others. If they stepped away and thought about this for a moment they would notice the pathetic nature of this meaningless endeavor.

Finally, the fakeness of it all, the constant self-filtering and putting on a face tires them out. People become slaves to the algos, slaves to people they don’t care about and slaves to their own fake behavior. It is no wonder they burn out and require breaks.

The saddest part is once they are back from feeling good, they go right back to it.
