Only the DM UI, users should have a way to communicate away from immediate public scrutiny.

Love the consequent embrace of borderless visuals though, very Apple like “I never knew I wanted it until I saw it” experience. Conceptually it had always made sense though.

Now, if only someone merged the share and ellipsis menus..

Full bleed video makes these screen recordings of the same app unexpectedly confusing.

In the logo, or in your life? Haha

The rotation angle makes it harder to recognize.

Can the current version retain the bookmarks through logging out and logging back in?

It might have an a bit too rough improvised appeal, but look at that egg shape in the o, how can you resist that whimsicalness!?

The egg inside the “o” really puts it over the top, I had to snicker when I noticed it.

Just ironic when Nostr adoption seems like a deliberate turn against prevalent network effects.

Somehow the app seems impervious to public perception. Any mention of it just dissipates into nothing.

Pretty wild coming from a self professed former big blocker.

This reads less idealistic than I expected, based on the general reputation of JFK. Seems very much in line with what actually developed in the subsequent decades.

Then again, I know too little about the detailed history to pass invariable judgment.

Sensible discourse

I read the article, thanks for the link. In regard to the Holocaust reference, I also found this CNN interview video while actually looking for a copy of his BTC Conference speech yesterday, which only eventually started coming out long after the livestreams for some reason, and from the actual speech excerpt to his own explanation provided, he seemed to have only invoked it in regard to mass surveillance technologies, and with no direct or implied connection to vaccine policy or mandates. Again, judging from the actual clip from his speech, as he continued his line of thought into mentioning post-war East Germany, he seems to exclusively refer to the abuse of surveillance infrastructures. He also explained why and for what he subsequently apologized.

His remarks on 5G seem again much more connected to an arguably technologically valid concern about interconnecting high speed data networks with surveillance devices.

I see nothing in these sources, including the linked NYT article, that makes him seem blatantly deceptive, manipulative, or completely unrealistic. At the same time, I just find it impossible as a layman to access, process and understand the necessary information to make full judgements on the full efficacy and symptom range of vaccines. From a layperson perspective I see any judgement mostly based on existing trust or lack thereof in publicly accredited institutions.

I found it reasonable to do more than nothing in regard to a highly infectious virus, and social distance, wear masks, and get vaccinated. However, I have heard nothing said by Mr. Kennedy, that seemed as outrageous as the third party characterizations of it. I also have seen no evidence for him holding these views for profiteering reasons. This stands in contrast to transparently financially motivated charlatans like this self professed mRNA technology inventor.

If you have sources, with direct, first hand quotes, that show Kennedy obviously, deliberately lying or misrepresenting facts, I revise my position, but with the articles and interview mentioned so far, I see his mass surveillance concerns as valid, his vaccine concerns as unrelated to the surveillance matters, and his remarks taken out of context by third parties on all sides for ulterior motives, or misunderstood, misconstrued by thoughtless people.

Since his remarks passed me by at the time, and I firmly stand in support of the efforts the vaccines represent, I tried finding some sources on them today. I found the following Newsweek article pretty credible and insightful, and while I still disagree with how he seemed to want to stir an overall counterproductive sentiment, I found his actual comments unexpectedly restrained, or at least somewhat intelligently, and credibly made. Unlike any other public figure I heard speak decidedly critically on the topic, especially the aggressively mindless podcast tourists.

The article has ample annotations after each segment, I suggest reading it if you find the topic worth your time.

As a side note, I would go with audio, language interfaces almost all the time if engineering and design allowed the necessary performance. I think Socrates rightfully argued that painting and writing promote forgetfulness and inflexibility, interfaces should permit, afford as much fluidity as possible.

In regard to feedback, I agree with the reasoning behind leaving out screens on the wallet hardware, but separately, on a very simple level, I always feel uncomfortable with third party servers and web services getting involved. I have no problem with optional offers, but I find the dependence on physically remote hardware, aside from the BTC network infrastructure itself, just an unpleasant notion, regardless of how intricate the logic of its integration. Self custody should look and feel self contained. The whole point lies in setting myself up in a way where no one else gets the chance to patronize me in my decisions.

On the hardware side I would still care to see that exemplified too by a seamless, portless enclosure with MagSafe, Qi2 charging.

And instead of only Nostr, it should tie into a universal identity system like what #[3]​ works on with https://pkarr.nuh.dev .

Instead of just maps we should have a Nostr based cadastre.

I would like to build something in that direction, but I see too many unsolved questions to just start bootstrapping. Your notes definitely inspired me to do more research on map data formats, editing and rendering today.
