This seems like an inside joke that I don’t understand

Huh?

Y tho?

It’s not interesting to me. I’d rather just talk to people.

You still need to setup your zaps

I don’t want to zap or be zapped

Nice! What are some other favorites? (I'm guessing Infinite Jest 😉)

Lol. I actually thought Infinite Jest was only ok. But I do love DFW. I’ve read everything except for Pale King.

Currently reading Living In a World That Can’t Be Fixed by Curtis White. It’s one of the most relevant books I’ve read in a while and he’s an excellent writer.

A favorite that not a lot of people have heard of is This Is How You Lose the Time War. It’s unconventional sci-fi.

Not sure you care to read a book review after the enthralling ZapFest, but I just finished reading Anthem, my thoughts below 👇

Overall I was pleasently surprised. This was my first introduction to Rand's work and it held up to the hype. I was expecting the book to be more scifi about how communistic structures tear the world apart, and it was, but just not in the manner that I expected.

The book was focused on language, and specifically, how it can be used to change the way that you think. Not just about the world, but about yourself. This is specifically one of the things that attracted me to writing, because some lessons are only capable of being learned through FEELING it. You could have told me that this language is important a thousand times, but getting to ride around in the characters head and see it happen was a profoundly different experience.

One that I would certainly recommend! If you have read any Rand, let me know, I will be diving into more of her work and would love to hear which one I should tackle next.

Thanks for this content. It’s been a struggle to find anything interesting.

I’ve only read Atlas Shrugged.

Yeah, you can also make it single column if that’s your preference.

Interesting. Seems original.

How did you log in? Did you give them your private key?

You can turn the colors off, I just like them.

You do you.

That’s cool that it’s customizable. I’ll check it out.

I can’t tell if I like this. Kind of makes my brain hurt.

It caches everything locally for speed. Fine if you're on a PC with plenty of RAM and disk space. I have 64GB RAM on my desktop PC.

Sounds like what you read about using an extension was probably referring to having a lightning wallet extension integrated. Check out Alby at getalby.com.

Got it.

Thx. Will check it out.

I haven't been able to get the Android Iris app working because I can't input my nsec. The browser version works great. It's a bit resource hungry though. I cleared my browser cache last night because it was storing over 7GB of data. It's already back up to over 4GB this afternoon.

Do you know what makes it so resource hungry? How does it compare to the others?

I did try logging in on my browser. I read it’s best practice to use an extension but that’s the part I couldn’t figure out.

Are you using Iris?

Go into your relay list and delete any that occasionally have a white dot next to them. These ones are not staying connected and causing issues with your feed.

Go to nostr.watch and find some new ones to add.

Add a few that are geographically close to you (there's a map for this) for speed.

Add a few in other countries that speak your native language to expand your horizons.

Oh cool. I def want to find some other languages.

I’m on Damus right now. Tried to log into Iris but couldn’t figure out the nos2x thing and didn’t have the energy to keep trying.

That means that none of the relays that you're connected to are holding the original note and they have to fetch it from elsewhere.
