 How do people post with images on Nostr? Many clients have "Paste Image" functionality broken.

Anyway, go to https://x.com/sridca/status/1815181358756417737 to see pictures of my beef liver pancakes. 
 He's right. For starters, most people should at least establish a known Nostr identity as a backu... 
 We need an app that can post to multiple networks, so this actually works as an actual backup. 
 A new chapter starts in my life.

Richard's death was a starting point, but Vineeto's participation has also somewhat enticed me to stop procrastinating.

Life provides so much distractions that we enthusiastically grasp on to ... while little realizing the sub-optimality of it all. The path of actualism on the other hand is munificent. 
 You ever find yourself Needing to take a break from #Lemmy? 

I like our instance and our users a... 
 Which Lemmy instance are you talking about? 
 Claude 3.5 Project deature

I'm trying out Claude AI along with its Projects feature to chat about actualism. It allows you to upload files. Will post screenshots in comments

 Richard’s Personal Web Page

http://an.actualfreedom.com.au/

In Ballina, when I told Richard about introducing someone (in the traveller's lodge) to actualism, he recommended that I link these newcomers to his "Richard’s Personal Web Page" directly. 
 He said something to the effect of the AFT main page being largely written by Vineeto/Peter, and that it would be better for newcomers to get a direct introduction from his biography. 
 So nostr and satellite are still alive. 
 Convince this man to stay.

 A killer client app would be cool. Trying out https://gleasonator.dev/ for now ... 
 I caved, and went back to X. But I want to use nostr. 

Main problem: all the people are on X, not here. 
 How do you have time for all this brother? 
 You are lucky to be working on the future of internet. Enjoy! 
 What reason would they have to ban you? 
 > I think I just get banned more than most people.

I'm an apprentice, as I got banned from just two places. 
 Is @Alex Gleason blocked on relays managed by satellite.earth? Because I don't see his posts on the Following feed here. 
 Confirmed to be not. 
 I'm giving up on it already.

- Sync is sloooooow
- Notifications are too bare bones to be useless 
 Would be nice if somebody added a `flake.nix` for it.

I tried doing it before realizing it is a multi-crate workspace, which I need to add support for in https://github.com/juspay/rust-flake 
 Wtf I already got like spam on my timeline 
 Wtf are you @crrdlx 
 One of those clients I tried out must have had spamming built in ... 
 Two of your posts appear on my profile, even though I never hit "like" on them. They appear right below this post. 
 Naughty behaviour by one of the clients I presume. I had pasted by priv key, which I shouldn't have on hindsight. I guess I must recycle and create a new identity. 
 From today, I shall use no other social media other than Nostr for the next 2 weeks. 

The experiment begins. 
 Haven't settled on anything yet ... the best app is yet to be made for nostr. 
 Idea: build a better Zulip alternative on top of nostr. 

Support hierarchical topics, with branching and connections for better conversation flow.  
 Alright, I'm seriously giving Nostr a try now. The internet needs to be decentralized. 

Will log my thoughts in under this post. 
 Checked out a few clients; none were satisfactory. Satellite.earth is nice (supports hierarchical view), but doesn't seem to have notifications (ugh). 
 I was wrong; satellite.earth does support notifications (it is on top-right corner). 
 I just realized that many years ago I found nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6... 
 Good to meet you on Nostr! 
 This place still exists. Not bad. 
 I'm not sure how I feel about warpcast (farcaster). nostr, on the other hand, is just a simple protocol. 
 Can this replace reddit?

So, can I create a community here and hope that it will remain for eternity instead of becoming vapourware like the old Satellite? 
 Whoa, I'm still here? Who am I?

I guess clearing the cookies also helps. Good enough for now!
