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.

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.

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.

To take control of nostr? I think they would just infiltrate the development teams of the biggest clients/relays instead of making their own. Just look at how many feds were working for Twitter, same thing would happen here.

Got a bit hooked on survival games lately and bought Volcanoids in a sale. You have a drill ship as your mobile base that you can build upgrades for to make it longer and outfit it with gun turrets and refineries and then when the volcano erupts (which it does every half hour or so) or when too many enemies approach, you tell it to bury down into the earth and then you can drive the ship underground. Really cool idea, the only game of its kind as far as I know.

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.

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 GMT

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 21:36:20 GMT

Played Walking Dead Saints and Sinners on #PSVR2 today and it’s a lot different than I expected. I thought it’s a silly action/horror shooter but it’s actually a survival game where you do quests and collect resources. It’s really good so far. Couldn’t play long though, my shoulder still hurts from going a bit overboard with Pistol Whip.

Been using bone conduction headphones for half a year now because my ears really don’t like earplugs anymore. Only downside compared to earplugs is the titanium band at the back, makes lying or leaning back against a headrest a bit uncomfortable. Sound is good enough to me, but I’m not an audiophile and I mostly listen to podcasts with it. Can recommend for anyone who has issues with earplugs, the technology has come a long way.

Raycast now has GPT4 built-in (has to be enabled in settings)
https://www.raycast.com/changelog/1-49-0
I rarely used ChatGPT before, but Raycast makes it so quick and easy to ask questions that I’ve been using it a lot more.
I’ve also started trying out Copilot in Visual Studio Code since so many devs are raving about it. I still get code suggested that always has at least one big error (Flutter dev, probably not enough code out there yet for it to work as well as with other languages), but it does make you quite a bit faster as long as you know what you’re doing, so it is still quite useful.

2023-03-17 18:27:12 GMT

The Warp terminal now also has AI built in, which is cool, but I’m starting to think it might be a better idea for GPT to offer a subscription that you can use in all apps instead of having one subscription per app. I’m already using 4 apps with (some free but soon to be) paid AI features available, it’s just going to get worse. Just like streaming services. You want to watch the newest movies and TV series? Well, just pay for a subscription to… Prime, Netflix, [insert ten other services here] for the small price of [all your money].

2023-03-17 00:28:57 GMT

Finally got access to the Raycast AI beta. I’ve only used ChatGPT (free version) and the new Bing before which are both a bit slow to answer. Raycast is instant and is just a Command+Space away, feels so much nicer for quick questions!
And you can also create AI commands that you can use on selected text in any app, like shorten this text or improve the writing style.

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.

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.“

It would work better with something more stable, so pure language use without frameworks or frameworks that are older and therefore don’t have many breaking changes in new versions. It can certainly be helpful though, it is super interesting technology. But in the end you still have to do the actual work yourself. Maybe Github’s Copilot works even better, haven’t tried that yet :)

Apple doesn’t allow social media apps on their store that don’t moderate content, so if Damus is allowed at all it’s by mistake and will be removed when it gets popular enough to be on Apple’s radar. They also require you to censor specific things like Vaccine misinformation in your app according to LBRY (Odyssey) devs: https://twitter.com/LBRYcom/status/1597293336184094720
