What things are important enough to you that you would protest over, or practice civil disobedience over?

Another $600 server charge, I have very small zap income now due to apple guidelines, that used to help a bit. maybe time to shut down my relay 😕

What's your go-to heckler comeback?

Haven't watched anything in ages. Any recommendations for good movies / documentaries / tv-shows?

Eh. It may make a bigger difference when the device is made smaller and lighter, but I don’t see the VR/AR market changing significantly because of this product. They may become a dominant product *within* the current market and will likely grow it some, but I don’t think this is “VR’s moment” or anything.

Time to pivot to all web apps?

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

So I spent some time last night comparing the HoloLens with the Apple Vision…

My assessment: exactly zero HoloLens will get sold after Apple Vision is available 😂

Why are you here and not on twitter?

Ok this has some UX issues and the name isn’t great but overall pretty solid. Going to move more of my signal conversations here. nostr:note1g5l7s2433554veddkajkqsg629e0nfpl64vjzeht8uj542lwdvhqdgcx78

Why is this SimpleX all over my feed all of a sudden?

I definitely thought it was a shitcoin or something at first. 🤣

You’re comparing a ~10 year old company to a ~four month old startup lol. Of course Twitter offers a better UX, it literally has billions of dollars and full-fledged teams globally.

Try using Damus on TestFlight, Will is constantly shipping updates. It’s my favorite client on Nostr.

Thanks for switching things up, @jack! I like this idea. Here are a few questions for Nostr users:

1) What is your favorite feature or aspect of Nostr?

2) What improvements or changes would you like to see on Nostr?

3) What topics and discussions do you enjoy engaging in the most on Nostr?

4) How has Nostr positively impacted your life, if at all?

5) What are some ways that Nostr could be utilized more effectively to build community and facilitate positive interactions between users?

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions!

I spent a few days at the MicroStrategy Bitcoin and Lightning for corporations event.

Great event- exceedingly well organized.

Bitcoiners talking to finance, corporate sales, and tech people. Not just bitcoiners talking to other bitcoiners. That is valuable.

Microstrategy announced a sats reward program. They have extensive enterprise software sales relationships that they can use to sell this new product line. It allows businesses to offer customized sats rewards programs for employees, users, etc. So with the software, a company can easily offer sats for employees attending meetings on time, for users writing a review, for users filling out a survey, for meeting fitness goals, etc.

We will see how it goes, but I like this way of thinking. Many people don’t want to spend sats yet, but they do want to earn sats.

I don’t use my email much anymore since it’s all spam, but one simple fix could be sending an email back and making them solve a captcha before it is delivered to your inbox 😆
