 Over-thinking and over-feeling is detrimental noise. I see both of these pitfalls screw people up... 
 Cats 😂 
 What the world desperately needs is a Nostr based alternative to YouTube! 
 A wishlist client would be neat.  
 Can you add that to the wishlist please.

 I need an app that shows me where every outdoor pull-up bar in the world is.

 For the design UI of the app, I suggest a pull-down bar 😂

 How many GFY’s per day are you managing to put out to complaint notes at the moment?

And can you go full time if needed? 
 Our zaps also passed each other en-route 😂 
 Was that showed sponsored by Adobe? 😂 
 Hey @SatsMcd according to this report, you’re not GFYing nearly enough to cope with the expected demand.

Up your game pal, we need you more than ever 💪 
 Keep up the good work.

NOSTR needs you 🫵 🫡 
 Please, it’s all hands to the pump, we’re drowning here 🥹 
 Can floor temperature effect how slippery it is? I noticed the last two days my wood floors are g... 
 I don’t know, but I asked Google AI and:

Wood floors can become more slippery in the winter due to the increased likelihood of moisture and dirt being tracked in from outside. Additionally, the air tends to be drier in winter, which can affect the finish and surface texture of the wood. 
 What time is that in real time, you know, the time us British invented in Greenwich, cos of steam trains and all that. 😂

Also, the beers, do you deliver? 
 See you there, I’ll bring my own beers 🍺

 Happy Saturday fellow weirdos!

 Breaking the algorithm 😂 
 I don't know and have no opinion of my own, so can I just copy everybody else and say:

Definitely logo, no question. 
 I just hired a precoiner painter for a small job in my home and he's agreed to be paid in #Bitcoi... 
 Be careful, I thought I'd orange pilled by builder until I discovered he'd gone out and bought f***ng $MUSE because he didn't know there were different types of coins and he liked the look of the logo 😂  
 Is Arnold Schwarzenegger a Bitcoiner, he has the laser eyes?

 Do they mine, or just run a node? 😂 
 Shit, we're screwed 😱  
 I kept telling them, stop hitting the robots. But they wouldn't listen 😔  
 😔 
 Your just quoting directly from the Bitcoin manifesto 😂  
 😂 
 how we categorize others to make them make sense to our minds is interesting.
“oh they must be ... 
 It’s called prejudice (or pre judge) and is the correct use of the word, we’ve been using the word incorrectly to mean bias. 
 Did I miss anything, or is this a general rant? 
 OK, thanks for explaining.

In 10 years, publications like CoinTelegraph will be the legacy media quantum AI bots will be laughing at once you and I have been culled by somebody looking remarkably similar to the former governor of California, but more shiny 😂  
 I'm taking boxing lessons from Mike Tyson 😂  
 What if I take your vitamins as well? 
 Have you just switched on your random word generator?

Here’s a BBC news site built with a random word generator for your enjoyment:

It's the hump day of my week of night shifts 🥱

A late morning tea is waking me up 🍵

H... 
 It's night shift hump day?

 Calling people transphobic is another example of leftist gaslighting. 

A phobia is an irrational... 
 I thought tramsphobic meant fear of trolley buses and gaslighting was a job people did, that's not as useful as it once was. 
 The change of the self-sourveign values by NGU values by the Bitcoin community will fuck the rest... 
 Coinbase can’t even get their own servers to work properly 
 Have you set foot in any form of crustacea? 
 I hope that’s Fahrenheit your measuring 😂

You do love our long abandoned imperial system. 

We don’t even have the empire that founded it anymore 😂😂😂

 
 And that’s why Sam Altman created ChatGPT

43F is 6C

FYI:

43C is 109F 
 Even in Malta, 43C is a heatwave.

I’m in the UK, where the temperature typically ranges from 50F to around 77F.

We are around 50F ATM 
 Both good choices 😂  
 FYI: H.G. Wells lived in Bromley and War of the Worlds is notionally set in part, on Bromley Common, where I grew up. 
 It’s OK, War of the Worlds is only fiction and apparently HG Wells was a very nice chap 😂 
 I'm sure theirs some very nuanced reason for it, but can you stop sending me push notifications for regular public interactions please.

 
 Thanks 
 Why isn't  @Jameson Lopp zappable?  
 👀  
 You gotta love Apple.

I'm still with those little beauts cos of their cross device copy / paste function. 

However, one day you do an update or two and suddenly that service becomes slow then breaks.

If something works perfectly, it's always a great idea to update it 😂 

Slowly, then suddenly I'm moving away from Apple. 
 Even Linus doesn’t suggest Linux as a desktop yet. 

It is possible, I even bought a StarLabs laptop, but the user experience is not for the faint hearted.

I also don’t want to go back to Windows, that place is a shit show of advertising.

I’m hanging in for the moment, but I’m close to switching to an Android phone and my laptop will need replacing in a couple of years, so we’ll see. 
 Thanks, 

I don’t suffer from a lack of knowledge or technical skills.

My only weakness is laziness, I’m not prepared to make my life harder for principles that are not uber strong.

And as I said, I already use an Android phone and a StarLabs laptop, just not as my daily driver. 
 Also technically macOS's core operating system is Darwin, which is based on the XNU kernel and BSD, inherited from NeXTSTEP. 
 The problem that I observe is that in Linux world, everybody talks about skins and nobody talks about basic functionality. 

Linux makes a fantastic server OS, but the things that make a great server are not the same as the things that make a great desktop.

To give you an idea on my mindset, despite the horrendous functionality, my go to NOSTR client is still Primal. It looks fantastic, is very intuitive to use, but the backend is shit.

Damus is my “it just works”, it looks fine, works brilliantly, but is more involved to use.

For the moment, I’m not prepared to use my StarLabs laptop as a daily driver as, apart from the build quality, the thing is harder to use, more convoluted to achieve the results I want as quickly as I want and things break and things become impossible to do.

Apple is just starting to trend that way. If Apple approach this scenario, then I would make the switch, but I’d prefer everybody do up their game and not make me choose based on usability.

This would be real choice.

I have no real choice right now. 
 How deep?

Peter Todd explains he is not Satoshi at @PUBKEY here:

Where were you in 2008 - 2011? 😂 
 Yes, but he is difficult to watch in an entirely different way to Adam Back whom, when he speaks, I can’t stop falling asleep.

At least Craig makes my skin crawl so much that I loose sleep when I listen to him 😂 
 I think I’m in love 😂 
 Gm fine peeps of nostr 
 Hey 🫂

It’s a small world 😂 
 Hey  @Mullvad VPN wen Lightning?

Already followed 👍 
 I really struggle with lying, so filling in these KYC questionnaires from banks and exchanges in the UK where you have to confirm that you invest less than 10% of your net worth in Bitcoin and that you know Crypto is extremely high risk, galls me.

It is forcing me to be dishonest, which no society should do.

Is it right to counter corruption with dishonesty. I don’t know, but all I do know is that I am a lair and I don’t like it. 
 True 😂 
 Don’t zap the cat 🥹 
 Phew 😥 
 All cats are Internet cats 😂

 Depends on the domain 😁
