PV nostriches - was thinking about personalized experiences here on #nostr - reverse algorithms, if you will. Not filters, per-se, but personal amplifiers. Example - I enjoy reading longer posts (something more than just reply-guy shitposts, so why couldn’t I turn on an amp that curates posts of over, say, 120 words? @jb55 likewise if you are a meme aficionado, amping no words or looking for a note with .jpg/.png/.gif might be your chosen amp. Would like to see amps become a part of a client or two.

Followed for the lulz - they aren’t zappable yet so are they really “on” #nostr?

Weird how I didn’t see that until I clicked on the OP. Guess it’s a feature?

Amazon has you covered. They have a full library of music documentaries that are free with an Amazon sub - most recent one I enjoyed called “It Might Get Loud” with Jack White, Jimmy Page and the Edge. If you are a fan of any of them, you’ll really really enjoy this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Might_Get_Loud

I signed up day one and today was the first time I was promoted for my Yubikey to auth with it. I felt like a little boy again for a moment playing appletrek on my Apple II after loading it with a Radio Shack cassette player.

How can we learn from the past if we rewrite it? It would be as though no progress was ever made. Not to say there isn’t progress left to make, there’s so much, too much! But the record of our wins and losses, the lessons depicted in them, the strategies passed on through generations disappear. We are moved back to start.

What respect do we show historically brilliant artists the respect they earned it life by modifying the intent in their death? Augustus Gloop WAS fat. That was the point. The archetype was gluttony. It is an adjective. I’m insulted a slur is being protected on what the author did NOT intend it to be, but one of countless ways his gluttony caused him trouble. What should be censored here? What is so scandalous? Gluttony does lead to becoming overweight. This is not opinion, it’s fact: Relevant to the character development Roald Dahl put forth and a significant catalyst in the lessons he imparts on the reader through the story. Fat is now charged to… enormous? Help me understand how that’s better? Better enough to justify rewriting the work of this renowned author.

Oompa Loompah’s were described as “tiny”, “titchy” or “no higher than my knee,”… now it will just say “small”. Oompa Loompas were ORANGE. They are a made up thing. How bland is this clever writing now?

I’m furious over this, I predict it becoming normalized and that scares me. I will be ranting about this for a while I can tell so just a heads up.

Anyway, mood:

Sauce? I wanna be mad about it too, and, also, I want to find myself an original hardback copy and put it on my shelf for posterity.

It’s getting to be a big place already it seems. We can correct that now ⚡️🤙🏻 enjoy the sats brother.

I like ‘em deep inside my wallet. They come out when I wanna do others’ too.

All good reasons, but were you seriously so unaware of what was going on behind your back with Yoel and company? I mean like: ?cid=2154d3d7woon8tje5d7io70rnz68hc5cbd9yv6bdt9oefpqd&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

I think I’m a sats whore. ?cid=2154d3d7ojugp505wnjru069nxd8dc09bab3owdkq4exw2da&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
