it also had a very long text but that seems to have vanished even when viewed inside nostrmo too. so idk how this works
wait I posted a long-form article via nostrmo but it hasn't appeared on my profile viewed through primal. I think I still don't understand nostr well enough
Like GitBook? Or more like a blog platform?
The fastest way to learn a skill that you want to be stable and want to keep, is the slowest way.
Artists!:
I want to draw freehand, maps, diagrams, doodles, illustrations.
I want to draw in vector primarily, and raster as an option (not required)
I want a freehand pen tool, and I don't enjoy Inkscape's pens.
What can I use?
Legal fight between UK govt and Apple about encryption backdoor must be made public

"it's a psyop"
"Ugh don't be such a conspiracy theorist"
Uh
EVERYTHING is a psyop
Do you not understand yet that EVERYTHING that's happening is as a result of human beliefs
Literally
Everything
(Except for the full-natty weather events, and asteroids, and space weather)
A country is a psychological operation.
Never forget that.
Didn't think this needed to be said but, if you're riding a motorbike bike and approaching a pedestrian, aim behind them, obviously
Take note that online safety according to governments is not the same as online safety for disruptors and activists
Hot thought
(Cos I literally just had it now)
What if the reason that social media always becomes an absolute bane
Is
Because
Our feeds of posts are
1D
?
It becomes an endless tirade of scrolling through a list of items that no longer pique our interest as once before
Perhaps this is because it's nothing like real life.
A 2D pane of items would make a big difference to our interactions.
Firstly, we can see spatially instead of.. listically.
Secondly, UI can be designed completely differently. People panes with faces and micro profiles floating around, grouped by recent post topic, by profile tags, by region. Online panes. Post panes, posts in bubbles floating around, linked by topics.
A 2.5D interface would make it even more interactive, without becoming like virtual reality. I don't think anyone really wants actual full immersion virtual reality. A 2.5D UI could allow basic avatar navigation. I'm really only thinking as much as a simple Pokémon style exploration, nothing exciting or graphically intensive, just enough to have some contextual navigation.
The problems that keep arising on platforms like these (standard, 1D feeds) is that the VAST majority of us never get many followers, so we don't get much reach, we don't get to interact with many other people.
If we all just follow anyone and everyone, the feed turns into unusable digital noise.
But if our INTERFACE were arranged differently, perhaps it would be better… We could discover each other spatially, in that, spaces allow more dimensions, and dimensions are the axes to contain variation. Thus, following and finding people to have these conversations with would be much simpler and more organic.
There must be a reason that our world evolved in 3 spatial dimensions! One and two just weren't enough :)
I need to get my sats set up. But I'm tired just thinking about it
Are you using any of these platforms? Have you heard of OpenVibe? It's a wonderful app that aggregates four open-web social networks, 3 of which are unrelated to Big Tech, and one of those is fundamentally uncensorable! OpenVibe makes it easy to crosspost and to view all your feeds 💜 https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a859fbc13b98e89b499e0040c809a4945a9489621601f479f34e5a28a9270f3/06541f4c9a0b70289c591e64e43de1cdb30df4f3907c4d6e49cdfc8477981bf5.webp
What if I just become a gamer livestreamer just like right now. Is that still a thing? Can I stream myself being an absolute n00b and talk about random/political shit at the same time? Is there a market for this

I hate not having my desktop. I feel like I can't use my laptop to get any work done. I need a full sized keyboard, mouse, and two monitors.
Anyways, my RAM RMA is taking too long. I have decided to just download more RAM for my desktop. The download will be here in a couple days.
I have two laptops now. One beasty, which unfortunately has minor keyboard issues (chipboard design fault) and crappy battery, but has a good GPU and 16-core CPU and 24GB RAM, and the screen is largish. I can use my tablet as a second screen if I'm out. And my other laptop is lightweight, runs ok enough usually, I use it for menial stuff. My beasty laptop fills the space of a desktop for now cos I haven't had a persistent home location since... 13 years now? Gosh what
I have to admit that I didn't remember Monet's first name was Claude. Had to do a double take cos I assumed the Claude meant the LLM Claude. Now I wonder if the LLM was named after Monet. I wonder Monet would feel about this
