Second great day in a row.
Completed HYROX DC solo in 1hr 26mins 28secs, beating my last attempt by two minutes.
40 years old. ZERO sports background until I started doing CrossFit at 37. All I can say is - if you're pondering on turning around your physical health STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND GET IT DONE - YOU CAN DO IT!
#hyrox #running
Btw. I don't think my heart rate should go this high, but I'm still alive so 🤷‍♂️🤣

I just ended up getting a really cheap Pixel 6a just in case I didn't like it. Still using it, it does the job.

I wouldn't want to, the switch was rough and inconvenient. But morally yeah I would do it again.

I am not from the "zaps is a replacement for likes camp".
Let's forget about zaps for a second and really look at likes from a more positive angle. It's a way to say "hey, I saw your post and appreciated it"
I'm a fan of custom reactions for that reason.
I guess what I'm saying is, remove likes but replace with more ways to interact in a meaningful way (other than a text reply)
Someone has to rip the band-aid at some point!

Playing around with Primal.

Hmm yeah Ive thought about this one quite a bit and gone through phases of both. Currently in a music phase, but totally see the merit of going with silence - being more in tune with your thoughts and breathing etc.
During training I definitely love music, I respond very strongly to it and feel like overall it increases my performance and output.
That said, I heard a horror story recently where a guy I know trained for a marathon with music, planned a playlist specifically to take him from start to finish, with different stages in music style etc.
But the earbuds shit the bed half way through, and he said it completely screwed his mindset at a hard point of the race.

Now that we have SO MUCH stimulus it seems natural that we haven't caught up to understanding the various conditions that exist because of it.
Depression is an example where I think it's widely accepted that it's a protection mechanism and a symptom.
Problem is, often times the way our society is built, most of us find it hard to do what's best for ourselves when often times the answer is obvious.
Exhausted? Drop what you're doing, rest, sleep - duh!
Overwhelmed, depressed? Drop what you're doing, meditate for an hour a day, journal, go to bed early - duh!
"But I'm a shift worker, and I have kids to pickup from school, I have to get groceries, I have to do laundry, I have to cook dinner, etc etc etc"
It's really hard to go against the grain of society, we all have to survive in it, at the end of the day.
The freedom to perform adequate self care is a privlage many of us have not attained yet.

@nprofile…mexk In my view, Primal should consider incorporating the tally of custom emojis asap.
For smaller npubs with limited followers/engagement (the humble pleb) the current experience can be a bit isolating. If you're on Primal it feels like nobody is out there.
Then you open up eg #Amethyst and you see all of these emoji reactions and it feels like you're not posting to the void.
Not supporting is bad for new user retention imo.

Use a password manager, but not just as a way to remember passwords, but as a way to keep track of accounts you hold open on the internet.
Review it once a year. Close accounts you don't use, and/or delete or obscure personal information before closing the account.

To be fair, I don't think Wavlake was a "nostr app" to begin with, they added nostr support afterwards. I l
@nprofile…fc59 can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it's first and foremost a value for value app (aka lightning support), allowing musicians an alternative place to host music and tools to get support directly from fans.
With lighting support and custodial wallets they have so many challenges to overcome. Surethis will get easier with bolt 12, when they can move away from custodial.
Then there's the issue of hosting, also centralized. Another thing that will also hopefully become more decentralized with blossom etc.
These are huge issues to solve.
Looking forward to seeing what alternatives the community can build, I just haven't seen it yet personally.

Yeah, regardless of who you are it sucks to lose personal belongings and the house etc that you've worked hard for. Probably many photos and objects that are sentimental etc.
But surely just being alive is enough to be thankful for, and knowing you still have financial stability, and probably insurance to rebuild.

How to get sued:
- Clone open source Spotify client like SpotTube
- Add nostr support
- Add zap button to every artist
- Zaps go to a community wallet that can't get rugged by an individual
- [solve many complex engineering problems]
- Send redeemable lightning payments to artists over traditional social media
- [solve more complex engineering problems]
That's pretty much the V4V version Napster.
