Lately, I've been thinking more and more that most modern jobs, including mine, are a bunch of crap. Developers, consultants, marketing/social media experts, life coaches, etc. All crap. Turn off the power, and it’s all gone.
I’m starting to long for a real job. Honestly, just flipping burgers. Digging in nature. Actually setting up and using real machines. Sweating it out in the kitchen (I did that a lot as a student), scrubbing and cleaning things. Sure, I do all this privately, but it would be nice to work in an honest, real job for a change.
A friend of mine works as a floor screed layer. Always working. Jacked as hell. Doesn’t train at all, just doesn’t have the time for fake shit like "gyms".
The fact that these types of jobs are poorly paid isn't the fault of the job itself. We just don't value honest work anymore.
Awesome job 💪
Man, bring back the default smiley. Nobody's using the default smiley anymore. 🙂
Sure. Or maybe it's a beginning downward trend. 🤷 🙂
Good question. Do there have to be any? Or are we fine with how things are right now?
Have you guys ever actually read the TOS of your favorite relays?
Incentives are lacking. Discovery still sucks. nostr:note1wchq8rye6cr38y76z0ukcczfdcxzpyemc5sgkypfth9rn5jgh25s2xllt4
"The Holy Mosques" announces:
"Recently, a deeply disturbing and fabricated AI-generated video falsely portraying Sheikh Dr. Abdur Rahman Al-Sudais, the Head of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, has gone viral on various social media platforms. The distorted clip was maliciously edited to make it appear as though Sheikh Sudais was endorsing content that clearly contradicts Islamic teachings."
That's exactly why some institutions or public figures have to sign their posts. You just can't trust legacy social media.
Alright, after a quick freelance gig, I’ve got a bit of time again for a website test. I’ve got four candidates lined up— which one should I tackle next?

Flex-box is the new table layout. I was a grid fan since it was merely a proposal. And I waited 3-4 years until it was widely supported. #CSS nostr:note16rcy4hrjrfdp7a2cjy027lht603zwjrg3qvtn2fl0u05ul6ck6vsf8pgc5
Your nostrfluencer ... posts screenshots of Tweets.
That's a good one. Really, we're just survivors of our own evils. We’re barely standing where we are.

You can connect your Lightning wallet to a BTC Pay Server instance and then use the Wordpress BTC Pay Server plugin as a Bitcoin payment method.
You can already to this to some extend with simple HTML:
Also with invoice:

Why for older people? I thought it's something for all ages?
Cool sounds similar. Is it used often in your country?
In European fiat grocery stores:
So, you go to Turkish grocery stores where everything is halal and there's no sugar in the bread, but they totally rip you off on prices. For example: official inflation is like 2-4%, but the real inflation is probably around 12%, maybe even 15%. The price of a product at the Turkish store has gone up by 33-40% compared to last year. Thanks, guys.
I'm really losing it here. I wanted to set up a Coinos wallet for my daughter’s new Nostr account from the very beginning, but it doesn't work. Then I connected my wallet via NWC, but that doesn't work either. I thought, okay, I'll just create a Primal wallet, but the option is not active at all, and there's no indication of how to set it up. Then I tried a Yakihonne wallet, entered the username, it spins for a few seconds, and then the dialogue just freezes. Reloading, the Yakihonne wallet is nowhere to be found. I try again, and it says the username is already taken. So it's already there, but there's no indication of where it is or how to select it.
Honestly, is this how onboarding is supposed to work today?
Isn't the state's sovereignty, legislative monopoly, and bureaucratic machinery possible on a sound money standard? The bureaucracy wouldn't be so large, but there would still be a smaller tax rate for defense spending (which is the primary function of a state).
My birthplace ❤️
No need for more. My fish and meat? I’ll grill it to the right of the house, in the little cave.
Just like any exciting idea or hope we tie to a new piece of tech, Nostr will eventually turn into shit. Why? Because we're human—and we screw things up.
What once felt like a glorious celebration in our youth turns into embarrassment and regret with age.
I randomly thought of a cool name for a movie: "The Unzappables"
"The Unzappables"
In a world ruled by influence, silence is rebellion.
The year is 2043. The Nostr Network isn’t just social media — it’s the state. Every citizen is ranked by their zap score, their worth measured in Sats. Speak the right words, and you rise. Speak the wrong ones, and you vanish.
But in the grey zones — outside the polished towers and algorithm-curated top lists — a resistance is growing. They call themselves The Unzappables. No Bitcoin wallets. No Lightning addresses. They’ve erased their digital footprints and live completely off the grid. Their posts? Raw. Unfiltered. Dangerous. And worst of all — free.
Their message spreads like wildfire: "Disconnect to be free."
As the regime tightens its grip, deploying digital enforcers to hunt them down, The Unzappables begin targeting the foundations of the zap-based system — exposing its darkest secrets and igniting uprisings across the fractured zones.
To some, they’re traitors. To others, the last hope.
But one thing’s for sure — in a world where truth is monetized, those who can’t be zapped might be the only ones who can’t be controlled.
You created an account here (https://www.uma.me/signup), link with Plaid and then you receive an UMA address. With this UMA address I can pay you and you receive the value in your bank account that you linked
Ok, so you link your bank account to the UMA app.
How does the onramp/offramp work? How do get my fiat money up and off my UMA address?
Looks interesting, I'll take a closer look.
Am I in the wrong circles here, or has engagement gone down noticeably on Nostr?
Zen Browser looks interesting. It's based on Firefox rendering engine, not yet another Chromium variant.

Brother, where? Nostr clients still buggy and slow and shit. Get the basics right first.
