I changed my mind. Following a lot of people right away was a mistake.

While I still think you should follow a lot of people to have a good experience. Instead you should build your follow list from scratch. "A lot" will be relative. I have had ~750, I feel like I see mostly vacuous bullshit and I miss most of the notes I find interesting or insightful.

Maybe if I had simply been less discerning with my follows early on I would have found a better density for myself before curating.

In a keepass database. But I bought some esp32 chips and I want to try to develop a a hardware key manager.

I'm going to laugh if uncensored free speech is the reason humanity goes extinct.

Conflict-free Replicated Data Types

I first learned about these today when I was playing around with sqlite3 and watching some tutorials:

Sweet!

I would be interested to try this as well.

I know I can open up access to my home network via my router. It's a challenge because my ISP is pretty strict about what they allow, sadly.

People are getting really triggered by the word "normie" today.

Maybe I just need to create a list, and the assign-a-weight functionality would not actually be a good user experience.

I really wish I could assign a weight to my follows so I could see the ones I want to see the most first. I know I could trim my follows, but that also isn't what I want. I like all the people I follow, just some put out certain content I would like to give priority.

Once you understand that pretty much everyone in the west is a liberal, even conservatives, it makes it much easier to break out of false diacotomy of thought there. There isn't one, only hegemony.

A vast majority of people in both groups all believe in the same things. They both want the same things, just their time preference is different. Conservatives want to move slow, Progressives want to move fast.

Take immigration, for example, talk to almost any conservative and they have no problem with immigrants, as long has they follow the process and do it legally (slow). Progressives just want open borders (fast).

Hence the adage: Conservatives are Progressives driving the speed limit. (h/t @MichaelMalice)

Saying everyone is normal is categorically false. You could say normal is relative, but then that still means there is no universal "normal".

Anyways, I use the word "normie" as a term of endearment. I love all the normies in my life and it's a tremendous pleasure for me that I get to be service to them whenever they need help in the niches I am in.

I am currently working in what I thought was my dream job as a Programmer. My skills include that, I taught how to use software for a hospital, I worked as an animator in health research.

I would like to work for myself, however so far I have proved to be too spineless to actually go do it.

Welp. Tonight is one of those nights. One where I am lying in bed wondering just what the hell I'm doing here. Nostr is cool, it's interesting, but it's turning into another time waster. Something I use to procrastinate. Now I should be asleep. During the day I should be working, growing, learning.

The devs don't have this issue, they're out there making stuff. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m doesn't. He's a man of few words, I've noticed. he's out there focused on his mission instead.

It doesn't feel like I have one. I'm also searching for the healthy balance between not getting wrapped up with tech I don't need and doing something worthwhile with my time.

I like it on here. It's sane and many here are like-minded in a few ways. But it using leaves me feeling empty just like other social media.

Anyways, my thoughts are not very well put together. I can only apologize. I'll probably regret posting. Regardless:

Tomorrow is a new day.
