Sweet! I'm a bit worried that after a week of insane hype by every single Youtube influencer, I now no longer see any content about it at all... is it just not the kind of game that lends itself to content creation?

Been playing DOOM: The Dark Ages for a bit...
Everything about it feels "meh", but somehow I still don't feel like putting it down. It's short anyways, and some of the fights are indeed quite cool, in a "just hard enough to get into the zone" kind of way.
Definitely the weakest game in the trilogy. Another proof that everything touched by Microsoft turns to shit.

This spike was ChiCha Oolong Tea with cream, zero sugar, no toppings.
WTF?! Shouldn't "cream" be a dairy product? It should not cause a spike like this.
This is what almost all Singaporeans are addicted to. And most don't select the "zero sugar" option, and almost everyone adds "toppings", which definitely are full of sugar.
This nation will soon collapse in a diabetes epidemic...

I don't think this has anything to do with the size of the planet, but with its density.
But yeah, the parameters for intelligent life to develop are probably extremely narrow, but hey, there are quadrillions of planets, so there will be more than enough with just the right conditions.
And like you said, there are probably intelligent lifeforms out there that are so utterly alien to us that we can't even imagine how they would look like and they might find other ways to get into space.

Very cool. 2nd degree should be a good start. NIP05 should be even better, provided that someone maintains a good blacklist for domains that are used by spammers. (and that opens up the problem that legitimate people might get into that blacklist and then need to fight their way out, ugh...)

Amazing! But isn't one of the main powers of social media that your post goes viral and lots of people who are NOT in your social graph will reply to you and thus you can tap into the wisdom of the crowd?
Most people that I follow don't follow me back, so that would mean when I post something I would barely ever see any replies to my posts.

Doesn't Signal have mostly the same functionality as Telegram? Except for groups where only the admin can post which are more like Newsletter subscriptions, both apps have 1-to-1 and group chats, no?

2024-09-26 01:31:13

- reply

Makes sense. That was the original point of social media after all. Only works with following at max 200 people in my experience (and only if they are truly authentic people and not influencers soamming posts every minute).
Beyond that, the timeline gets too big to read and there is a risk to develop an addiction whereby one constantly checks back to see if there are new posts.
With 200 normal people, I usually find that one can read everything in about one hour per day.

Requiring NIP-05 could be really effective, right? If a domain spams, we can block the entire domain...

I don't think getting followers is an issue AT ALL.
If the protocol made it impossible to see how many followers I have, I'd still prefer Nostr over Twitter or any other ego-centric bullshit network.
I get more engagement here with 60 followers than I got with 3000 followers on Twitter. Daily. Without a shred of a doubt.
People who worry about getting followers are dumb. Not the kind of people we need on Nostr to begin with.
Finding content and people to follow on Nostr is dead simple. Just search for a hashtag and read that hashtag's timeline for a while and you'll find people to follow.

If every X user was on Nostr, there would be 20TB of data per day. No relay would save all this. Most Nostr users will opt to have only a few days worth of posts saved, the rest will be deleted.

I'm planning to learn how to draw at age 42. Main reason is, I want to instill this skill on my daughter so she learns how to observe the world in detail as early as possible and hopefully be able to entertain herself with a low time preference/long attention span activity early on as well.
I subscribed to a Udemy course and got myself all the equipment (pencils, paper, rubbers, artist tape, compass, ruler).
Has anyone gone down this route with success and can recommend learning resources that really worked?

very cool, but one problem is:
as social media posts virally spread by people re-posting them, you are supposed to get mostly replies from people that you don't know at all - that's where the wisdom of the crowd comes in that makes social media so powerful.
if you only get replies from people that you follow - most of them likely don't even follow you back - you basically just have a group chat with your closest friends, a small echo chamber.

I just read Herodotus' Histories and learned that one reason why the Greek prevailed against Xerxes and his 2.5 million Persian invaders was because the Greek were free men and Athens was a Democracy, so these men fought for their own freedom and their own personal rights. Xerxes men were slaves and fought for nothing.

I know that, I've been using lists for Twitter for years, long before Follows even was a thing.
But it's a systemic issue. If one my follows uses the For You tab, they will inevitably retweet deranged content and flush it into my Follows tab as well.

That is true, but also nonsense at the same time.
Since the entire app is completely rotten to the core with disgusting content like this, it is impossible to scroll through the timeline and not stop at content like this.
Just stopping to scroll for a millisecond, maybe because you looked at your child for a monent, already tells the algo that "you want to see this", even if you really dont and never actually clicked into it.
It is impossible to use X and never "engage" with disgusting content.

Twitter is ULTRA toxic. Every single post has a negative sentiment about something. It's a giant cesspool where everyone fights against everyone. This just can't be good for the human brain. It's a cortisol and adrenaline vending machine.
