One of the best to ever play the game and a complete travesty that he was kept out of the HoF.

Oh give it time, you'll come across them here. Its the only place I encounter them

However, It also turns some into insufferable pieces of trash with their NGU and HFSP bullshit.

Its not about self sufficiency or being dependent on anyone. And I gave up on trying to wake them up long ago. Its about a many many friends of 3 decades not even caring or even once calling to ask how I was/am doing. No invites to anything anymore. No calls to go out for a drink or a meal. Just nothing at all whatsoever.

Just got a 'website not found' when I clicked the link

Very much so. I got Amethyst working fine, but the web clients I use are just not working right.

I was doing similar and now this entire thing is a shit show. The relay shit is a real pain in the ass. Never had any trouble for over a year until yesterday, now its just a mess

A radical shift in one's consumption model, whether food or what you feed your eyes/ears/brain is one thing. If one is still eating franken-food and watching nothing but mindless entertainment, having btc doesnt really change much. Breaking up with mega-corps where possible is another. Shopping at small grocery stores and farmers markets instead of the grocery chains. Judging by your screen name, very likely a lot of things you already do.

Yea none have done me wrong in any way. But I been through hell since a jab mandate plunged me into poverty, and they dont even get the implications of that. The reactions were akin to if I got fired from a minimum wage job and that I can just get another. And I get that most are married and have children, but its quite depressive that people I've known for 3 decades just dont even seem to care.

that's part of why I no longer have very many friends in the physical world. And another is I came to conclude over the past 4 years, most of my longtime friends are clueless sheep that don't even realize what happened beginning in 2020

Fediverse is fine. I use it all the time. With zero headaches whatsever whether mobile or web, and the experience is 100% identical either way.

Basically what I am saying is the devs need to think in terms of a typical user, not a professional coder

You're missing the point. I can figure this out. Its not about me. Its about a normal user who just wants an app to work. And its not just about Amethyst either. Its about all the apps and web clients. And I am not saying anything about centralizing anything. But if a new user cant make sense of it they will go elsewhere. Fediverse is decentralized, but nobody needs to configure what instances they interact with. It just works out the box.

Love the format of your site btw. Simple and clean. Miss those days when that was standard🍻

That just sounds like more hassle to me. Shouldnt have to keep adding anything, and from my experience, too many slows everything down. The point I am trying to make is for the vast majority of people, just the fact of having to do anything with picking relays at all, especially when there are multiple types to set up, is going to be a non-starter. For mass adoption, which I assume is what the goal is, the clients are gonna need to just work out the box. Not to say that it shouldnt offer the option to customize relay choices, but I've been on here for over a year and its just getting worse in this sense.

Hey #nostr #devs. If this is to ever gain wider use by non-tech people, ya'll need to clean up this relay mess. You cannot for one second think a typical user is going to put up with all this nonsense of having to deal with app relays, dm relays, search relays, inbox relays, outbox relays and whatever other type of relay that must be set up. And it would help if the same relays showed up in ALL clients. People wonder why occasionally there is an uptick in users than a couple weeks later it drops off again. I guarantee this more than anything else is the reason why. And if it cannot be made for ease of use, nostr is going nowhere

Which reds? Commies or Republicans? Or both?

I need suggestions on a Linux file manager that doesn't change settings every time I go into a folder. Thunar is fucking garbage and I am sick of the view being whatever it chooses at whatever size it chooses whenever it chooses. No bells and whistles, just a file browser that keeps the view of each folder as I left it.
