No such thing as a better tyrant. Would prefer solutions I can self verify.

Good, so you won't care when I break them 😂

I feat that's what I'll have to resort to, I was also researching taking out the panel and sticking a pi into it, but it seems like it''s very closed proprietary tech they have on their devices.

How often do you moisturize?

Technologies need to be built slowly and carefully to be able to be built right.

Definitely the worst consumer electronic in existence right now is the "smart TV". It sucks. It's a low quality spying device, and the worst part is, YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY A NON-SMART TV ANYMORE!

They do reduce points of failure

Just made a purchase where all of my credit cards just refused to work, but I was still able to do it with a gift card purchase with lightning. After hours of wasting my time, it was a stupid lightning transaction.

FIAT is doomed to fail, permission-less money is the real deal.

I share the feeling. I don’t really know how to help either (other than following and engaging with your posts, of course). Every time I log in to Mastodon and find plenty of relevant niche content, plus a friendly, responsive community, my instinct is to just give up on Nostr and stop trying to improve things here. But then again, I remember how it felt back in the day when ActivityPub was just starting and how long it took to make it work for me (with no help from any algorithms).

Personally, I like building things and think Nostr has potential. This is my intrinsic motivation—and boy, oh boy, the current state of Nostr requires a lot of intrinsic motivation.

Yes, at the moment, Nostr is a BTC marketing ecosystem. Users are expected to chill BTC companies and products, while devs are often sponsored by BTC-related companies or receive grants paid in BTC. Nostr "influencer" accounts are, unsurprisingly, posting and enforcing mandated positivity towards BTC-related content.

Nostr can and will be much more than just a second Twitter for bitcoiners, but it needs folks like you and me to stick around, run infrastructure on neutral grounds, build things, try experimental Nostr software (and actually get devs to troubleshoot their stuff for a change), post good content, and help build communities around the niche subjects we enjoy.

In a couple of years, there's about a 99.99% chance that some of today's most popular Nostr "influencer" accounts will be jumping onto the "next big thing," often leaving a trail of destruction behind (and no, I’m not pointing fingers or bad-mouthing anyone). The beauty of open-source software is that it will become whatever the people who stick around and get their hands dirty decide it to be.

We need better DVM support, DVMs are a great content discovery tool, it's also a great way to start communities. Like someone may run a DVM for sports content, like F1 , Politics, Books and whatever they want.

We should have a #noScreen day where we collectively dont touch our screens. No posts, no touching the phone, anybody that does it is a fugly loser.

Next day we share stories on how we utilized that day.

When should we observer this day? 😂

Reddit is the last centrally controlled algorithmic feed I consume. But my usage is less. Feels like quitting an addiction, is probably as hard as well for most people.
