Actually, it's still really bad, at least for writing Flutter code. At first, I thought it saved me 2 hours of writing the code myself, but then I had to spend 2 hours improving the bad code it produced. It basically (badly) reimplemented a bunch of widgets that already come with Flutter. The code worked but it reinvented the wheel for absolutely no reason, bad idea.

Who would have thought, the new ChatGPT o1 is actually writing usable code. Still stupid of course, but way way better than before.

I think follower counts have their merits, but I see the problems with it. A good replacement for a general follower count could be "number of followers that I follow too." That is not as easy to game and is way more meaningful than just random people following someone.

GM nostr. Who is excited for the Apple Keynote today? Not in the market for new hardware right now, but can’t wait to see the new iOS and macOS. Hopefully some of the AI tools will be available in Europe, it was rumored that they might be on macOS and only iOS will be left out due to regulations.

There are a few good ones, all PC game ports, but for the most part, the only way to play good games on mobile is through emulators. I have a Steam Deck, so I don't do that on phones or tablets for the most part, but I do like using ScummVM for old point & click adventures on mobile, it's even available for iPad.

It would be cool if everyone had their own local relay that would use this approach but not to let other people write, but to automatically cache your own posts and those from your web of trust. Other people can then get any posts of people you interact with from your relay. That would make it work a bit like the gossip protocol in Secure Scuttlebutt where you can share all the posts you downloaded with others, making the network much more decentralized and less reliant on big relays everyone uses which would then mainly be used for discovery. Not sure if something like this exists for Nostr yet, I've been away for a year 🤣

The "Summarize YouTube video" AI prompt for Raycast is so good. It's insane that it doesn't come with it by default. I highly recommend adding it.
It lets you get a quick overview of any YouTube video so you either don't have to watch it but can quickly get the gist in a few seconds, or helps you decide if it is worth watching.

Maybe they won't stay there for long and look for something better.
I waited for a Bluesky invite for a year or so, but never received one. I tried again with a different email (a disposable iCloud mail) and was able to gain access after a couple of days, so for some reason they must block my email provider.
After finally being able to try it out, I immediately encountered a bunch of racist posts within the first few seconds of browsing. I quit the app and never used it again. For some reason Bluesky is a cesspool, this stuff is usually rare and not something you see as your very first experience, even on fully anonymous and decentralized platforms. Even on 4chan I didn't see stuff like that in the first few seconds.

2024-09-03 21:12:39

Been away for a while, anything new on Nostr? 🤪
Don't really know why I completely went AWOL on here for over a year. Time moves so fast. I did have to cut down on my non essential computer time because of health issues, so I didn't do much social networking in general, but that's not really it 😄
I've seen there are some new Nostr clients (trying Primal right now) and Alby did some changes so I had to reconnect my wallet, hope it all still works.

Tastes really good and the process is quick and simple enough that I can do it half asleep in the morning. Stumbled upon it by accident on Amazon while searching for something to make cold brew, had never heard of it before. This seems to combine some of the characteristics of both cold (better taste) and hotly brewed coffee so it’s perfect for what I wanted since I prefer hot coffee.

Twitter censorship has become worse in some regards since Elon took over, I've seen lots of small to medium sized YouTubers get censored lately and they say it's worse than it's been before. I do believe Elon (to a reasonable degree) when he says he wants free speech but he does not seem to have things at Twitter under control. He is probably trying to do too many things at the same time. I think decentralized systems are really the only way out of this mess, nobody should have even the ability to censor someone else's speech. I don't like it when people are rude to each other, I'm a very polite person myself, but censorship is pure evil and I have yet to see a justification for it that actually makes sense when you think it through.

Tears of the Kingdom is coming out next month, so I decided to finally take the time to play through Breath of the Wild. Three titans down, one more to go and then Ganondorf. https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_7e1a33caef72e5b499c46d0ec97c9d946d27285dae772593b57ec1429f22e005.mov

Bought this nice Logitech K400 Plus keyboard for my Steam Deck a while ago (it’s a super old model but the only one with a touchpad next to the keyboard and I wanted that) and it suddenly stopped working, battery leaked out.
Asked ChatGPT how to fix it, told me to use some isopropyl alcohol on it, so I bought a bottle on Amazon. And it worked. I feel like some kind of DIY/maker/tech wizard now. I basically have the power to resurrect the dead.

The last Eragon book. I had to know how the story ends. Until I read that book, then I wanted to forget how it ended. Actually that reminds me of the last Harry Potter book. Such a great series of books, until that last book, which basically took everything that happened until that point and then shot it in the face point blank. Artemis Fowl as well. Hmm… I am beginning to see a pattern here.
All final books in a series are terrible and should be avoided at all costs! Might just be Young Adult novels, can’t actually think of any other where I really hated the last book. Or maybe I’m just not as deeply invested anymore compared to when I was younger so I just shrug it off now and put the book away to read/do something else.

Bonus: You can make Arc any color you want, including purple! :D

2023-04-06 21:10:54

I’ve been using the Arc browser for two months now and I’ve come to really like it. It was hard to move away from bookmarks at first but there are so many little nice things in Arc that make it really pleasant to use. I didn’t even plan to move away from Brave which I also really liked, but I have not gone back yet (only on mobile since there is only an iOS version right now, no Android). They have this feature where it asks you to make Arc your default browser for a week. Without that I would never have given it a chance for more than a few hours, really great idea.

So far every single game I tried on #PSVR2 has been an absolute banger, might just be the novelty of VR as I’ve never tried it before, but I’m at the point where I have a hard time going back to 2D games because VR is just so good.

2023-03-31 10:54:49

Just noticed this in the macOS changes for Ventura 13.3, sounds like an awesome new feature for people with epilepsy. Makes so much sense to have this in the OS. Do other operating systems have that nowadays as well? Never heard of it before, but I don’t know anyone with epilepsy so I might have just missed it.

Bought a $10 vape (refillable, not a throwaway) and it’s actually good. I can’t believe how cheap they can make these things now and still make a profit somehow.

2023-02-23 01:25:00

Got my #PSVR2 today. It’s really good, can recommend. Best looking game so far I’ve tried is Kayak VR. Does make me sick instantly, I’m not good with boats, but man it looks great. Horizon does not look as good but there is a lot more going on so that’s to be expected and it is quite fun. Still trying to figure out how you’re supposed to aim with the bow, I’m sure there must be some trick I’m not getting. Right now I’m just hitting the targets by trial and error.

2023-02-20 18:11:16

Sony finally sent out my PSVR2 pre-order. Don’t understand UPS Express’ weird package tracking system, but looks like it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. Can’t wait! (Never tried VR before)

As Google is now moving from censorship after the fact to censorship before „misinformation“ or „disinformation“ ever reaches their users, something which Google calls „inoculation“, let me remind you that there is a great alternative out there from Brave.

What is really cool is that it can easily translate American recipes into the metric system so I can understand them :) And it can describe a computer as Terry Pratchett would:
"Ah, my dear friend, let me tell you a tale of the magical devices we call computers. They are powerful wizards, capable of performing incredible feats of magic with the mere flick of a switch.
You see, within the computer lies a cunning imp known as the central processing unit, or CPU for short. This imp is the brains of the operation, directing all the other components like a master conductor.
The CPU is constantly busy, receiving instructions from a spellbook known as memory. These instructions are written in a language known as code, and they tell the CPU what tasks to perform.
As the CPU works its magic, it relies on a trusty companion known as the memory or RAM, which acts as its spellbook. The memory stores all the information the CPU needs to perform its tasks, such as the code for the programs you are running and the data you are working with.“

As long as it is optional I like it for the people who can’t live without it, to each their own. Downvoting on Reddit and mass flagging campaigns on social networks have shown (imho) that flagging sadly does not work because what ends up getting flagged is different opinions first, actually bad content last.

I had 35 BTC in total (not at once) and spent it all the time because I saw it as an alternative to Paypal, not something to invest in. At one point I paid something ridiculous like 20 BTC for a VPN subscription. I think in total I made less than $100 with Bitcoin and have 0 BTC left, unless there are still some I don’t remember on an old hard drive.
