 100%.  Well said. 
 yep commercial software isn't necessarily better. Facts.  A lot is scammy. Just think Microsuck 
 Frankly I think we need more lightning developers. Less tolerance for error when it comes to value transfer and more attention to detail and accuracy than pressure to release asap. 

I find it really obnoxious on nostr that people often ask me release fast and furious and that its okay because nothing "bad" happens as its just social media, not money transfer.  But hey you want something slapped together, that's what you get, LOL.

Nostr in my mind is just a toy right now, to get attention from others, so yea please keep posting your critiques; much needed.  

Nostr has also been a great way to recruit people to help out on projects..... on LN it was literally like pulling teeth to get contributors and testers while its been super easy on nostr.  Eventually I hope can then steer them back down to the lightning layer where there is a severe shortage of good devs and a lot of really important stuff needs to be done. 
 don't worry, they'll get washed out. Just keep posting about it :D

 TPTB just want to force docile compliance on the entire populous and then exterminate the majority because they're eugenicists. Do Not Comply. 
 "You will have no privacy and TPTB will enjoy it" 
 That's the idea, to have it automagically in the .well-known, but as an opt-in not as a mandatory requirement.  There are clients who just absolutely refuse to update profiles, or worse yet wipes out  your profile and it drives me nuts. took well over a month for njump to update 
 Flockstr, njump, if i find more i will keep u posted 
 No, because njump persisted for weeks and flockstr would  not update after i edited and pushed. 
 changed with flockstr, didn't update, still isn't updated 

changed with primal; it updates

changes take a really super long time to propagate on njump 
 flockstr also has this annoying habit of autoplaying ancient vids i posted almost a year ago when i visit my profile.

 Are you QA King? 
 I know that. I was just tryin to figure out why you wanted 
to chase this so hard when its not clear to me some
Of these apps are maintained or not 
 Btw its an honor to bestow “QA king” if you’d like the title 😅 
 Fan as in fanquake? 
 This is a good strategy for public service.  But can be difficult
If the devs who are targets are not paying attention 
 Yes that is because they are full time paid by grants and have lots of free time. Good for them. I am not so if i get spammed, all you will likely get is no response for a long time😅

Some Notes from El Patron, a nym on another platform:

"I work primarily with computers and I learned about this guy (Jack Kruse) in the past few weeks.  If you have even the slightest concern about blue light/eye issues, I can't recommend the following enough (based on another video I saw of Jack's and subsequent research on eInk/RLCD screens like the one used in the Daylight computer):

* 		Hisense Q5: see eBay
* 		Dasung Paperlike Pro or Paperlike HD
* 		eInk monitors: they're crazy expensive, but I bought one (Boox Mira Pro - woah, I bought a refurb one from B&H 2 weeks ago for < $1500; also see http://shop.dasung.com and the Bigme B251) w/ a 30-day return policy and 2 weeks in my eyestrain is very much improved
* 		I recently became aware that recent Apple Macbook Pro products use PWM and "temporal dithering" which essentially strobes the display; Stillcolor is an app that can be used to disable this anti-feature; see Stillcolor author's write-up on debugging "temporal dithering" here

I currently am trialing the Boox Mira Pro and I also bought a used Paperlike Pro for use as a secondary monitor.  So far, so good: one of the best things about the eInk displays is that you can use them outside in full sunlight and the brighter the ambient surroundings, the better the displays look."

 Private Equity is already here. 

If you have something to protect, you should've trademarked everything ages ago. I know some commies want to make everything unpatentable and untrademark-able but for long haul protocol R&D the originator has to get something back unless you believe grifting is ok. 

Grifting is not OK, OKAY?

You are not entitled to take in unlimited quantity from people whose decades of original research was never compensated for. 
 i'm being an ass. And yes have had an inside seat on patent and trademark litigation, unfortunately

 How the fuck do you keep up with nostr development 😂 
 You Don't. I don't. And IDGAF, and its better that way instead of burning yourself into the ground. 
 Less blue light and more red light would be a good starting point

 There is a reason why I am not online all the time. For some of you, I get it, its your job. However, social media addiction is a compulsion and can leads to increased levels of anxiety, which is just not healthy. 

The Blue light doesn't help with sleep cycles, its always best to get out and touch grass. So I'm just sayin' , not trying to be aloof or anything but like get outside and do normal human things and everything in moderation. 

This is also why I will never use airpods, always prefer wired headphones and less EMF when possible. Yea so being offline can make me less popular but I don't really care. I do care about my well being and everyone around me. cheerios.

 its on the issues list, but need to find someone to work on it. too many things to do and not enough free time.
