Olive Grove Eggs on Nostr: Been a very unproductive day between relays, and bootable Linux drives not playing ...

Been a very unproductive day between relays, and bootable Linux drives not playing fair.

No doubt it is me and not having the latest greatest kit and 2 left thumbs.

On the positive side of this learning opportunity, the takeaway is:

I'm only interested in tools that make me productive. I'm willing to learn, but that's not the same as being a crash test dummy. There's more of me than techies who love to tinker, or if there aren't, Nostr is going nowhere. Or the same place as Linux which is still not in the average Joe's lexicon.

I used to run a big how to website so I'm not just having a pop after a bad day on Nostr. Very often we fell short of providing the clearest info, because of too many assumptions.

Instructions need to be idiot proof.

The word "just" needs to be struck from technical step by steps.

For newbies, explanations need to come AFTER we have followed every step and achieved something technically challenging.

Under promise and over deliver.

.I think the client owners need to step up and have a pinned welcome message with resources to get newbies started. It isn't right to be attracted by censorship resistance, sovereignty over content etc, when it is still a dark art to achieve that. Back to the crash test dummy, learning curve, tinker balance. But Even Twitter had a button to press exports.

Nostr users are very helpful but I am fast running out of #asknostr tokens :)
