If you were to direct someone to make a new #Nostr account today. How would you direct them to do it? On which client first? Which site for Nip-05?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your show is only on #YouTube and has no #RSS feed, it is not a #podcast .

It need a very solid web or desktop client also.

I'm using Damus again, it's been a while. How are y’all handling zaps since it's not built into the app anymore?

Trying out Nostrmo, not bad so far.

2023-09-11 17:04:32

What browser to all you #Nostr folk prefer?

2023-09-11 16:41:13

I'm looking for a Windows Desktop app for #nostr . Anyone tried Lume or Nostrmo?

2023-09-08 14:58:45

I find it odd that the #Nostr mobile apps seem so far ahead of web or desktop apps. I really can't find any to use on my laptop that work as well as Amethyst.

2023-09-07 18:57:51

Curious to what people who use #Nostr use for email? Do you self host? Use Gmail? Hey? Something else?

Haven't used my Nostr account much as of late, I'm going to revisit. Which is the recommended app for Android these days?

2023-08-27 00:02:05

My cars electrical system went out for the second time since I had it. It’s sitting in the middle of the road, can’t even put it in neutral or get the keys out of it. Tell me the last year cars that could survive with no charge when running existed?

I’ve used this app for years and thought I should share it. If you are interested in the writings of various religions and would like to reference multiple holy writings of various faiths on a topic at once, Ocean is really amazing. There is a desktop version also if you want to keep things local.

I love #Linux and opensource and choose to use it whenever I can. But…it really irks me when the blind zealots just bash on Windows or MacOS. All three operating systems have their drawbacks at times and some more than others. But to constantly dump on them is annoying and makes one sound ignorant.

I feel my Apple watch was one of the poorest consumer choices I’ve ever made. It’s a $500 dollar device that can barely last a day and all I use it for is to check the time mainly. I used the health stuff originally with fervor, but that wore off quick.

So, I emailed Cory Doctorow with a very unimportant question I was curious about from something a read about his workflow. I wasn’t expecting to get a reply anytime soon if at all. I figured I would get my answer in a future podcast or newsletter. To my surprise I got answer in an hour.

2023-08-13 16:32:46

It’s 1030am and the whole family is still asleep. I’ve been moving around the house in stealth mode since 6am trying not to wake anyone up. It drives me bonkers!

2023-08-13 14:03:23

I’m slowly coming around to the idea that @[email protected] and it’s not 100% comparable to the native OS camera performance is acceptable and worth the inconvenience. I don’t take as many photos as I used to anyway. Not fully swayed yet, but really considering making it my daily carry.

Another morning of trying to quiet Hazel(the dog) from running from window to window after a squirrel in the yard while everyone is sleeping. Hard wood floors are noisy.

I feel there could be a good movie made out of the early Seattle grunge scene. Mudhoney, Mother Lovebone, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. They all were somewhat friends and got big in the same time period. And some of those bands came out of other mentioned. A great musical history.

I’ve been using Ubuntu for less than 24 hours and I think I really need to go back to Fedora, Ubuntu his just to jenky these days. Seems like a lot of stuff doesn’t work properly anymore.

2023-08-11 03:52:42

I installed Ubuntu for the first time in a couple years. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

2023-08-10 19:48:01

I am wondering what the @Frame.work 16’s battery life is like.

2023-08-10 18:32:24

I have been narrowing down my future laptop replacement. It’s between two vendors, System76 and Framework. I think Framwork is in the lead, but depending on what System76’s inhouse custom laptop turns out like they could take the lead again. If I get a desktop PC it’s System76 all the way.

2023-08-10 18:26:30

After just a little bit of being back to playing WoW, I already feel like it’s getting out of hand. It is such a good time waster. I can burn a few hours a day easy, but maybe I should be reading books or learning something?

2023-08-10 16:39:31

As Zoom tries to address privacy concerns with their terms of service over AI use, I still have to write them off as a company. The AI training features can be turned off by the admin of the video, but how many admins will even still know it exists let alone users. It should be opt in, not opt out.

I’ve been back at playing World of Warcraft for 3 or 4 months now and still don’t have what they refer to as a “main”. I’ve been jumping around from class to class. I only have 1 at lvl 70 which is a Warlock. But I think I am settling into this Monk healer as of late. It may become my main.

Are you ever in conversation with someone at home and siri just chimes in with some babble about some song or artist you don’t even know and starts playing their songs through your homepods? I’m pretty sure I didn’t say anything that sounds like “siri” to get her attention in the first place.

Another thing I have been trying of late is WPS Office for my document and PDF needs. The only drawback I see so far is I can’t save in OpenDocument format, which I don’t use much anyway, but it’s a nice to have.

2023-07-20 18:16:34

I moved back to Proton for my email,calendar, and passwords a few weeks ago. I also started using Ente for photo backup. My next move is migrating off of my Google Voice and using MySudo for other numbers. I’ve subscribed to it for over a year, but rarely use it, time to remedy that.

2023-07-20 18:13:12

I regularly toy with getting a Mac. But I think I should get a Framework 16 when I upgrade someday. It just makes more sense to have something I can fix and is upgradable and recyclable.

I’m finding myself checking Twitter, BlueSky, and Threads a lot less. They are boring me. Though Twitter seems to have the most useful information (for my interests) still. I’m settling in with Micro.Blog using Activity pub to interact with Mastodon Accounts.

2023-07-18 16:48:13

Been playing casters in #WoW since I started again. Mainly Arcane Mage and Warlock. I don’t feel super attached to them. Since I’m a nature buff and enjoy the outdoors, I am going to try similar WoW classes, mainly Hunter, Druid, and Shamans.

Can someone explain to me why the actors are going to strike? Don’t they get paid well enough? I don’t see doctors going on strike.
I will accept maybe it’s for the extra’s and those doing mattress commercials, but the Tom Cruises of the world are not want for anything?

2023-07-12 12:06:21

Since Threads came out I’m seeing my BluSky traffic tank. I think Threads will be the new alt-twitter and Mastodon will continue to be the indie social choice…especially if Threads federated and they can interop.

2023-07-12 02:34:42

I did it, installed #WorldOfWarcraft again. I just can’t resist, and television has been fairly boring as of late.

2023-07-11 02:35:14

I have been so tempted to reinstall WoW since yesterday. It’s very hard to resist.

I get confused when people proclaim down with big tech when on a big tech platform. Should they not be on Mastodon or some other indie platform then?

2023-07-06 13:02:00

I find it humorous that Threads is less than 24hrs old and people are saying things like “threads is the best platform for new writers”. Like we have a clue how this thing is going to turn out in the weeks to come.

2023-07-05 14:26:34

I toy with the idea of switching to a Mac and it probably would be a good move, but the Framework 16 calls my name.

So my two month long World of Warcraft binge has ended. I wasted to much time, so easy to get sucked in for hours. I have relegated myself back to only playing Minecraft with my kids.

2023-07-04 13:13:36

I’m thinking of switching from Apple Music to Amazon Music. Mainly because Amazon is the only service that has Garth Brooks.

2023-07-03 18:23:14

So, my Ring doorbell has done great, catching us every time we leave or enter the house. It sees my car pull up and alerts me, but… I got an Amazon delivery sitting at the door and I have no evidence the Amazon person was even here… do they ignore themselves?..lol

So I saw this brand Mac and Cheese that as far as Mac and Cheese goes looks like a great option for the kids. Goodles. The problem, it costs three times as much as the standard, let alone if you look for it on Amazon, it’s 5-10x more. If the government wants to subsidize something, choose healthier food.

I’ve hit that point in returning to play certain video games that I wonder if I am doing the right thing. Am I wasting my time? Should I really be doing something more useful? As a person of faith, is playing a game where I’m constantly killing things even good for my mental well being? Thoughts?

Toyed around with some mobile MMOs yesterday. There isn’t a thing that can hang with World of Warcraft really. I guess I shouldn’t expect it on mobile. I don’t think WoW could be replaced though really.

I have been really enjoying my time playing World of Warcraft. I am fairly sucked in, but I would love to find a similar game that has that you never run out of things to do feel, but I want it on mobile. I don’t like being locked to my laptop.

Hot Take: I couldn’t afford college, so I didn’t take out a bunch of loans I didn’t want to pay back. I joined the Army and had uncle sugar flip the bill after I did my time.
