My parents are taking a 2-day, 8-hour per day, online course about options. So we’re at that point in the cycle.

I'm a NIP 29 disrespectoor. It has some good ideas (forking is cool, notes vs replies), but I don't love the moderation approach, and I think it's important to be able to send any nostr event to a group. NIP 72 sucks, but it does have audio events, calendar events, classified listings, etc.

La Tempête, Pierre Auguste Cot, 1880

Apologies to everyone hoping to listen to the dev chat from this morning: I borked the audio recording. Too bad, because it was a good conversation. Hopefully we can get it right next time.

Nostr helps expand the Bitcoin base to include more people who really need it, all over the globe.

Anyplace or person that can now be reached by a relay can now also be reached by Bitcoin. No fiat sale needed. No exchange needed. No onramp needed. The money is already within the network.

No bullshit, just zaps.

Always the best way to deal with trolls. They only do it to get a response.

What’s Satlantis.io? I saw it was at the nostr btcprague both but i’d never heard of it before.

Some of y'all live in such a bubble that you don't realize that the voters support most of the government stuff you complain about.

Like, if you say to someone "The government has too much debt and needs to stop spending and printing money!", they'll be all #metoo.

But try suggesting all the stuff you'd have to cut, to balance the budget and begin paying down the debt, and they'll be like, Nah, bro.

They agree with you, in theory, but not in reality. Or they're just pretending to agree, so that you'll shut up about it.

I feel a sense of anxiety when I begin typing something into telegram or signal and then choose not to send the message because I know the other person has seen "hodlbod is typing".

I've only noticed this because when typing messages in Coracle that I then choose not to send I have a small moment of panic, then relief when I realize my conversation partner is none the wiser. Sometimes it's simpler to just not reply, and sending involuntary signals makes the act of communication more complex.

Are typing hints a dark pattern? Or are they a healthy analog of real-life communication (in imitation of e.g. body language)? Maybe the principle of designing social media experiences to "imitate real life" is flawed? Maybe new media shouldn't imitate life, because they are distinctly their own thing?
