I barely comprehend the science being discussed here but Quanta Magazine just presents it so beautifully I want to pretend I do..

If there is a more infuriating design failure than this app, you likely need to login to it with this app. Every route into #Microsoft is blocked by a login that demands you already have logged in to be able to login. Every button, every fallback - this page in recursive loops down to bedrock https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9033a515a2a4ace87acf0657388ae74ff18f568612833786bdbbbd6bb0957130/e9ae0dd95fc969fd417454872323e4a960ee2ee043d10ca2c12c4ab078dbe171.webp

I'm a sucker for a good terminal in Windows, and while I prefer the most native (read "fastest") option this looks pretty cool. #warp

If you'd sorta forgotten, and #WaPo is showing up in your Google News feed, here is a reminder to click the "hide all Washington Post" news there to save yourself and send a signal.

It would be cool if #dotnet embraced more fluid/dyanmic instance types. For example a static Dog or Cat class for new instances, but syntax to transition a Dog to Dog+Cat and then the transitioned instance could be passed to methods expecting a cat.

List and the other collections in #dotnet should have an implicit conversion to bool so we can use if (myList) {} like the cool kids do in their J(aa)S clubs.

If null or empty return false, else true.

Hey, if you're on #Windows11 and copy & paste are borked (specifically copy) you might be interested to know that Windows may be passing your copied content to an LLM for guidance about what format to use and that's stupid/insecure. 🤦‍♀️

I've got nothing to do with the development of #Cline and yet I feel a uncley pride in the little coder that could.

Why does the iPhone's internal search suck so much? How many times have I searched for the Notifications settings to have to type it out only to discover they forgot to index the primary settings. Argh

Can someone tell me what to do with my newly minted and entirely empty nostr identity? I see this message but otherwise I have no idea what it is.

The first site that comes up in Google just tells you to secure an id and has no mention of where it's used which is a bit confusing. Like "reserve a threads username" when threads isn't a platform you can find and log into. Mastadon was somewhat similar but they quickly started making a path to some default servers and explained what the whole idea was about. Where do you use "nostr"?

Woke up to an expired SSL certificate and the hassle of all the formats, manual concatenations, keys, and separate places it needed to be updated nearly broke me.

I hate this system.

Tell me what Nostr is like I'm a 5 year old
