Chief user experience complainer. Head of FOMO.

In Louvre there's a painting "Goatse, the reverse view of the photographer." ~circa 1999.

That's how internet was.

Yea... I should have predicted that's the thing that people will actually catch on 😵‍💫

The opposite! I'm trying to influence people to not have diarrhea from drinking shitty beers...

#beerstr 😀

The "top secret" growth hack on socials is simple: pick one topic and stick with it, post consistently, be active in the replies, and word-smith your posts to be a little triggering. Once you have a following, sprinkle in some personal stuff to appear authentic.

Got it? Ok. Now, on nostr I'm doing the exact opposite. I post whatever comes to mind whenever I want. I just post stuff that I find funny or interesting, sometimes I don't post for 3 months and sometimes I have 10 posts per day. I'll post about diarrhea, JavaScript, UX, dadstr, bitcoin, literally anything.

I'm not here to win some clout bullshit. I'm here with friends.

I'm not paid by them in any way, but I just truly love the teas from https://ybtco.com/.

Especially Bergamot Rose and Lapsang Souchong. So good! Worth the money!

Sorry, I don't use Primal much apart from posting podcasts but I thought I would share some of the work we are doing here trying to fix Bedford.

Beyond starting a football club and owning local businesses, I have become active in trying to fix the endless issues in the town.

We have economic issues, in that businesses are under pressure from the economic climate as well as growing government red tape. This is being compounded by a massive rise in anti-social behaviour. We have a plague of addiction issues, with large numbers of crackheads, alcoholics and shoplifters in the town. We have a rise in crime, including assaults on women.

This is not a good situation.

Two months ago I threatened the police, that if they did not fix the issue then I will. During August I am funding a private security initiative in the town, where 10 security guards will be deployed across the town as scarecrows, providing a security blanket for residents and businesses.

We have met with the local police and our activity will be coordinated with them. We are also trying to work with the local council too. I am considering establishing a shadow council in the town, outside of party politics, driving civic action.

Alongside the private security, we are building teams for cleaning, events and marketing to drive economic activity in the town.

I just thought I would share this. Bitcoin world has become a little stale to me, it is time to get out there and do things. The UK is pretty fucked at the moment so it is fight or flight time.

Shadow council is an interesting idea. It will be interesting to see if it ends up being good or bad.

Not true. I use nostr to talk to myself without being bothered by any annoying interactions with other humans 😃

"The wheels on the bus" induced PTSD. After we finally defeated Miss Rachel's cartel, the bus is now the new boss. The BUS IS THE BOSS!

Where's my bitch@?

When we split the world between left and right, then I'm in the bottom and not in the top.

Be recalcitrant!

My accountant communicates over Signal, recommends putting at least part of fiat into bitcoin and calls California "the communist state". How about your accountant?

She texted me "Ok, greta" while she meant "Ok, great".

There are 3 stages:

1. Rathaus in Germany is the house for rats

2. Oh, wait, it means a Town hall

3. Rathaus in Germany is the house for rats

I did not know what Valedictorian means and I had to look it up... is how much I know about the US university system while hiring people in the US. Your degree from a fancy US university doesn't impress me. Your skills and what person you are is what matters.

No, it's just a normal goat.

I used super glue AND I didn't glue my fingers together! 🎉

This past weekend was the first ATprotocol conference. Lots of interesting stuff came up. nostr:npub1u4us5nqj5cwcdltwweuavzueel5zahcjfmcq8awj2gwztfw4q9ws9rjzzd wrote up a good summary which i’m reposting here and then there’s two techcrunch articles:

https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/25/a-world-without-caesars-how-the-atproto-community-is-rebuilding-the-web-to-return-power-to-the-people/

https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/whats-next-for-atproto-the-protocol-powering-bluesky-and-other-apps/

Although the user communities are very different and the way the they’re being built out is different, on some ways Nostr and ATprotocol are sister protocols, more similar to each other than anything else. So it’s useful to know what’s going on over there.

Can nostr engineers engineer faster pls? 😄

In places like Uvita, Costa Rica there are many people & businesses that accept bitcoin, but not many people are using it to pay.

My nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq68euw93e4cam59llcmydav0akwjk2p4nfy3p85pn22xv9y2jxuzqf35lee ran out of time. Topping up with Lightning literally took me 2 seconds and payment was processed instantly. Why can't all online payments look like this?

Literally every service online could be like this. Netflix, YouTube, cloud hosting... All the premium stuff

You should do that on Bluesky and Reddit. The issue is that you will get banned quite quickly

I noticed that when I'm home alone I start talking to myself, almost like if FBI isn't even listening.

I got calves from sitting at my computer the whole life. He should have done that...
