IMO, definitely no. Filtering in general is not spam and its impossible to have a conversation that isn't controlled/filtered. Imagine if there were no standards in your day to day conversation, imagine if you couldn't separate yourself from when those normal standards were thrown out the window by a complete stranger.
The question is about who is doing the blocking and is it for people who *don't* want to see it, or are you trying to stop people who are actively seeking out that information or account from getting it, and why?
So do I find this later with #TipChain ?
Canceled mine just a bit ago because they removed the "top articles" feed
Of course. I average I think 3-4 books a month and still tons of podcasts even though its diminished due to a lot of the audio work I do
I have been really wondering the same thing & have been thinking on a combo of things recently:
• The global feed really works and distribution is solved by simply casting as wide a net as useful into the relay space and then aggregating what is found at each one.
• The simplicity. It doesn't have a specific focus, or brand, or audience, it simply gets notes and other stuff from user - to relay - to user. It exists and there was a hungry market for not being put in a box, I think.
• It isn't being sold to anyone (and thus there's no feeling of dependence or being surveilled by default), it feels more like it's something that we are part owners in (and operators of). No one wants to be sold on another fucking social media platform. But I was excited to explore #Nostr and become a part of it.
So maybe together this makes Nostr feel like a genuine chance at a solution that we can be a part of, rather than another website that moves the problem to a different place while having a drastically smaller network? 🤔
Over 20s years later the new AI tools are FINALLY realizing the true vision of Microsoft Clippy.
It's my birthday tomorrow and my wife asked me what I wanted:
I'm taking a full day to just devote to my bitcoin computers/devices and home mining setup downstairs. She and Rad are going to hang out and play downstairs in the concrete basement with me 😂👏🏻
I've found ChatGPT isn't that great to help troubleshooting specific software, but is pretty awesome to use for troubleshooting code.
With specific software I think too many things are arbitrary or human dependent like names of things, whether the editing tool is called "cut" or "split," and that sort of thing. It often just makes up effects or tool names that don't even exist. Which makes sense because its a general language AI not a software specific AI (which I actually hope/think will be a really big thing in the coming years)
Whereas the syntax/naming conventions/commands in code is not app specific, but is universal across the language. Therefore it has far less of a problem pulling together related and specifically applicable chunks of code in response.
Ah, that’s because there’s no such thing as “the group.” Everything that empowers “the group” at the expense of the individual, is merely something that harms one individual at the pleasure of another, while destroying the long term security of both.
How close to the end of the season are we? I’ve decided not to watch it until it’s all released.
I stayed away from Game of Thrones so long that i had decided to wait until it completely concluded because it was such a massive investment (I did watch a handful of episodes though)
… then the final season started to unfold and ratings were dropping and I was hearing people’s reviews and then the utter horror of the finale and how fucking garbage it was 😂😂
Was very happy I didn’t invest. It would’ve been another “The Last Jedi” for me except it stole like 80 hours from me instead of 4.
I’m hoping that Holepunch based apps explode soon as well. Need Keet mobile to start behaving like Keet desktop to kick it off I think 🤔
At this rate my entire iPhone is just going to be full of nothing but #Bitcoin, #Lightning & #Nostr apps…
Looks like I’ve got around 36 right now 😂
the tenor link in the first one must not load on certain clients. Its not working for me on iris.to right now.
Not sure if its loading for you, but this is the gif you're *supposed* to see 😆
I feel like #bitcoin, #lightning, #nostr and the like have been a huge incentive for repurposing old computers & devices that would normally just get tossed out. 🤔
What… what about me?
Haha “This episode is good” teaser 🤣🤣
What is all that crap in that cookie? 🤣
At least the artwork is top notch 👌
What feels like the 100s of different times and different versions and environments and docker instances in which I have installed the same python packages still confound me to no end. And how often I try to do something only to realize the version in the current thing I’m working in isn’t the right one and then trying to understand how and at what layer I need to update or downgrade python or pip or whatever - just hurts my face 🤣🤣
Computers can be infuriating sometimes.
Yeah I think this disconnect is purely a perspective difference between going from a developer mindset -> to the user while mine and many others is from the user -> to the developer.
My thing is that testing and exploration of those who want to learn or understand is hit with such confusing barriers so incredibly quickly that you can’t really just “explore” very well. Which I think increases the divide
Didn't even realize this existed. thanks ill be saving thins for later
The one thing that has me hopeful is that because the establishment is so horribly woke, it is likely to make their AI products completely unworkable in the long term.
The open source alternatives that don't patronize the shit out of people will be useful in the real world and for real people, while centralized AI will only be useful to self-censoring woke morons.
Specifically something that was supposed to be a joke.
NO - STIR
👍🏻 The Good:
• Natural pronunciation
• Alliteration with NostrDamus
• Phonetic of the "O" sound in "Notes"
👎🏻 The Bad:
• Doesn't use phonetic of "Other"
🤮 The Ugly:
• Doesn't fit with Nostriches
--------------------------------------------------
NAH - STIR
👍🏻 The Good:
• Alliteration with Nostriches
• Rolls off the tongue nicely
• Alliteration with Nostropolis
👎🏻 The Bad:
• Doesn't use phonetic of "Other" or "Notes"
🤮 The Ugly:
• 99% of normies hear "Nostril" 😳
--------------------------------------------------
NUH - STIR
👍🏻 The Good:
• Proper phonetic of "Other"
• Sounds like Nuts
• No one would ever naturally pronounce "Nostr" this way
👎🏻 The Bad: n/a
🤮 The Ugly: n/a
--------------------------------------------------
I think we have a clear winner here.
Don’t know the specifics here. What is NIP05 and how would I use it in this situation (Nostrgram is asking for NIP07 compatible)
I never have notifications on for literally anything social media related. Ever 🤣
Hey can you guys stop doing nerd shit for two minutes and just zap and have fun with the rest of us?
Of course! Always happy to give feedback and my thoughts on the stuff I'm really excited about. 👏🏻
