 If you are on Poast, you should be aware that your admin is preventing you from seeing my account on Nostr. Poast is blocking the bridge. So if you don't see me around, that might be why.

 So guys I've been posting only on Nostr for a few months now. I'm basically done with the Fediverse. I built new software and been enjoying the new world. But they don't want me to leave quietly. They want me to go out with a bang. Alright.

 This #FediForum guy doesn't want me to be in a Matrix chatroom where I posted maybe 4 messages six months ago because it makes people uncomfortable that I am visible in the members list. @6ff65c2f

 Had a dream I ate a piece of steak at a venue. I literally couldn't stop myself. Then I saw the entire carcass fit on my plate. Then some guy got up and started shouting, "it's veal! these are baby cows! This is highly unethical!" And I started shouting back, "what is the difference between a baby cow and an adult cow?! Huh?! Huh?!" 
 I'm vegan btw.

Thanks AI.

 Dude. Your WordPress blog should be a static site. https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/ 
 What reason would they have to ban you? 
 I don't know. I think I just get banned more than most people. It's part of who I am. 
 nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 what did you do 
 Joined the Nostr Design group and asked if anybody was looking for work, then dropped a link to soapbox.pub 
 Knuckles is like the Kendrick Lamar of Sonic. 
 RFK with a brain worm is still better than Trump and Biden combined. 
 As a vegan, I cannot believe I agree with this woman who shot her dog.

 How can we know the exact second a solar eclipse is going to happen from anywhere in the world but only have a "rough estimate" for the Bitcoin Halving? 
 Yeah I'm a vegan with hardcore achievements in Super Meat Boy. We exist.

 It took me so long to realize what the phrase "to have your cake and eat it too" means. Because the idea of having a cake and then eating it is not a luxury. 
 It probably works on Node as long as you use ESM. 
 People of Nostr,

I have created a bad ass new Nostr library in TypeScript. It's built around carefully designed interfaces so the parts can be swapped in and out. It's documented extensively.

Check it out here! https://nostrify.dev/ 
 I have so many ideas that I can't possibly do them all. But I'm trying very hard. If you're a coder looking for work, drop me a link to your personal website or projects. 
 Every few years when I hear this song it brings a tear to my eye. 🥲

 Good idea. 
 I have no idea how operating systems work, but I guess so. Not sure how to work around this. 
 I'm having a problem with 10 minute long SQLite queries after rebooting the operating system, but then it gets fast after everything is loaded the first time. Rebooting the application is also fine, just not the OS. 
 Wrote a script to migrate ActivityPub follows to Nostr. Now just needs a web UI.

 Did you feel the chilling effect ☃️ 
 It gives you a feeling that we exist in the universe. 
 Watching the eclipse with a bunch of Mastodon users. 
  add Joe biden to the Honorable Mentions page of mostr.pub 
 Everyone on Mastodon is talking about the eclipse. People on Pleroma don't care. Is that who I'm going to have to deal with if I go outside tomorrow? Mastodon users? 
 I'm at the point in my path where this is everything. You have to create the solutions.

 I gave up on SQLite and swiched to Postgres and it magically started working after months of fighting.
