It's sort of crazy to see the contracts that people working at companies like Mercedes or VW have. Completely detached from the rest of the job market and the EU auto market.
They don't have the productivity to justify those astronomic labour costs.

Electric vehicles are primarily a political topic in the USA. Few people are really considering them from a technological or economic standpoint.

The AfD is on the wrong side of history, with their obsession with combustion engines. Even the German automobile industry doesn't want to go back to focusing on combustion engines, as the entire world is electrifying, including the German market.

**There's no shortage of gasoline or diesel in #France.**
Total Energies self-imposed a price cap on them at their stations, so people are all buying from them, and they can't manage to refill the station tanks fast enough to keep up with the rush. So, they run out of their discounted fuel (but not higher forms of refined fuel, as those are sold at market price) for hours at a time until another truck arrives. Although Total is suffering a margin loss per customer, they have attracted so many customers that it has caused their overall profits to rise and is beginning to bankrupt their competition, who are now suing for uncompetitive practices.
The lines at Total stations can go on for kilometers. The rest of Europe remains unaffected. The EU isn't particularly vulnerable to a lack of raw fuel, as its main suppliers are not affected by the Hormuz Strait crisis, but some EU refineries have been running at peak capacity for quite a while and are starting to become strained.
In related news, the EU has accelerated its move to independence from imported fossil fuels (causing budget shortfalls due to the loss in fuel tax revenue), and the sale of electric cars is up 30% in Europe overall, YoY. In anecdotal evidence, I know 4 people who have bought a new car this year, and all of them bought an e-auto.

It's funny to me how wanting to regulate the AI industry is considered government overreach and centralization of power when the US, Chinese, and EU governments (among others) have been actively funding it, arranging the funding for it, changing laws to accomodate and promote it, and directing the development and implementation of it, the whole time.
There is, until now, absolutely no explanation for why any private person should be personally benefitting from the success of these projects, since none of the projects would be viable without everyone tacitly acknowledging that governments are underwriting their debt.
These have always been seen primarily as national security issues, not private science projects. That's why it's not treated as an asset bubble, even though these companies have no path to profitability: everyone knows their governments won't let them fail. Investing in AI is just another form of government asset, but with higher returns. Like investing in defense production.

I agreed with this because I have spent so much time building up entire event pipelines over different servers, clients, machines, scripts, etc. and each one is completely independent of the other, but the events can get passed around and morphed into the next stage's events or linked with some other set of events.
We used to do this within on gigantic ORACLE database with lots of SQL staging, handoffs, transformations, etc. but on Nostr you just grab events, morph them, spit out new ones, and move on. Somebody or something else then might grab them, or might not, whatever.

I am not going to babysit my cash all day to see if it gets hacked or rugged. Fuck that noise, man. And I'm sick of the mantra that it's totally okay to keep small bits of money in that wallet but not more than that cuz it might disappear. #wearesoearly. Small amounts of money _also_ shouldn't disappear.
I am not going to put more of my money someplace that it is likely to disappear from. That is why I am trying to get out of the banking system, ffs. This is supposed to be the place I can put it, that it _won't_ disappear from!

I sometimes feel a bit like Noah building his boat.

But I sometimes wonder, is it that I can see the solution, or is it that I have some deep, inner confidence that I can always find a way through, if I keep hacking away for long enough and find enough frens to help? If we all just hack away, together, for long enough...
I've never not gotten through.

@nprofile…u6fg already came up with a note engine like that. That's what I copied. We can show anything. There's no excuse to hide events in daily-driver clients, anymore. He solved that problem very simply and elegantly. Nostr clients can now be future-compliant, as well as backward-compliant.
This is especially interesting for threads below OPs. If someone posts something, they want to see everyone who interacted with it, with the standard-kind interactions featured most prominently.
In my threads, I reveal stuff like people quoting the event, bookmarking the event, responding to the event with a voice reply, reacting, zapping, highlighting, etc. Some directly on the OP, some behind an accordion at the bottom, and some prominently in the middle. That's why my client feels so "alive" and other clients feel dedder and dedder.

2026-09-14 10:07:01 GMT

Projects I am currently involved in:
#cordn
This is MLs for Nostr that is actually starting to actually work. Ecosystem is growing and refining. High-security messaging for groups, including groups of 2 (i.e. DMs).
#imwald
My web app and my Android app. They read and write any event and are great for power users and testers, or if you are just looking for someplace to publish an event from and nothing else works. Integrated with Brainstorm and Mercury servers.
#alexandria
These publication viewers are looking a bit neglected, but a big revamp is underway. A sort of Project Gutenberg, OpenLibrary, Wikipedia, and Goodreads mashup. Mercury and Brainstorm integration.
#decentnewsroom
Very elegant solution for e-magazines, including my own blog.
https://blog.imwald.eu
#brainstorm
Our big data migration has been honored with indexing on Brainstorm! 🤩
Very stoked about that and about the other relays that imported our data dump.
#mercury
Mercury is my instance of the Elixir relay that MichaelJ is building. We're iterating back and forth, but the publications, wiki pages, and library cards are already running off my prototype version. That's the http API my clients use.

2026-09-14 08:28:16 GMT

What frustrates me most about Nostr is how much some **developers just don't care about what kinds content creators actually publish**.
Our stuff drops off the timelines, and people's threads and feeds get thinner and thinner, but the devs don't respond by including the new kinds because they're only here to kind-1-shout-out at their fan club once per day or week or month, and then they go back to talking to their agents and collecting their monies.
Those devs aren't scrolling the feed or responding in threads, my frens. They don't notice that our stuff disappears and -- what is more -- they don't give a damn.

Lightning and Monero make sense for tips (and zaps), as they're both relatively private. On-chain Bitcoin zaps just don't really make sense to me, as it's a public ledger, and tipping is fiddly because silent payments aren't in widespread use. Zaps, in general, just don't really make sense to me because I tip too much money to want anyone to keep track of it and people microzapping me should just keep the change.
This is just where I am at right now.

Is it paranoid for me to move most of my "spending" sats from my Phoenix Lightning wallet to my Electrum on-chain wallet? It's not just that I worry that Lightning is gonna get hacked next, but that I worry that the swaps will get taken offline in a panic, and I'll end up stuck in Lightning.
This doesn't really seem rational, as I'd probably have to move them back onto Lightning to spend them, but oh well.
In other news, added a silent payment wallet to my payment targets, which doesn't help much because hardly any Bitcoin wallets support silent payments. 🤣

About messaging on Nostr:
I have implemented kinds 24, 4, 14, and #cordn and I only have any interaction within the last 15 days on Cordn. And that was very sparse.
My Telegram, Slack, and Signal are always busy with Nostr talk.

2026-09-08 15:06:48 GMT

The Nostr market is completely saturated with kind 1 clients.
1. There is no room for additional clients in this tiny market. People are tired of kind 1 clients. Almost as tired as they are of the DM circus.
2. Everyone already has one and people are loathe to switch to a different one.
3. There's hardly any high-signal content in the kind 1 feed, so it's basically a forum for people to meet up and chat and forums don't need any fancy functionality.
4. Groups and communities haven't really taken off because Nostr is so small that it's already a community.
5. The main differential is if your client lets you see kind 1 and kind 1111 events, or only kind 1. People who can only see kind 1 think everything is much quieter than it is, as they can't see most of the responses, but they don't know that.
6. Kind 1 remains important, but is quickly losing ground.

2026-09-06 17:34:12 GMT

All of my motivation to post content is non-monetary.
Almost nobody looks at any of it, but I keep posting it. Almost nobody uses my clients, but I keep building them. I was making elaborate web pages in the 90s, when there were like 10 people on the Internet and you had to handroll the HTML tags and it was fun.
I've always just done stuff, for the sake of doing it. Like I sometimes see that a park is dirty and I just come back with some rubber gloves and trash bags and start cleaning it up because I don't want it to be dirty anymore, and then it is clean and I am happy about it. Sometimes I start a clean up project that meets as a group, and cleans that park up, regularly, and then it's always clean and I am always happy about it.
I am grateful when people give me money because it helps me finance all of the infrastructure costs, but I am genuinely surprised that they ever do, which is why I never think to apply for grants. Software grants filter for people who are used to getting money for building software or think that they should be getting money for building software, the same way that beauty pageants filter for girls who are used to being told that they are beautiful or who think that someone should be telling them they are beautiful. Nobody else knows if they qualify, so they just sit in the audience and clap, when someone official-looking says, "Please clap."
But maybe that is just me.

When people post their LLM conversations and are like, "Whoa, so deep," and you read the convo and it's not deep.

I like modern art and folk art. The older and more formal stuff is highly redundant, dull, and almost all of it was low quality, but you don't realize that because you only know the famous stuff that survived people dumping ugly things in the bin.

Austrian girl manages to beat AI to the punch solving a mathematical problem, despite not having a gigantic data center to help her.
Which highlights a major flaw in the "AI is smarter than humans" narrative: humans have no direct access to the same giant computational facilities. They cannot simply write a program and run it on those machines. The machines are all controlled by the AI companies, so you have to use their AI as a gateway to the compute, and then they can claim their AI helped solved the problem.

I had a great interview, today, and then he thought I could do _any other job_ and widened the interview and brought in more people and then I totally bombed that part, so it was like 150% and 45%.
Yeah, so, I apparently can't do all jobs.
Only some jobs.
I keep saying I want to work more with people and then they try that out and they're like, nah. 🤣🤣🤣 People exhaust me after about 15.38 minutes, apparently.
I really like the thought of being a people person, tho.

I forget that I am poor, sometimes, but then my parents come to visit.
At least they haven't asked me how my Bitcoins are doing.

Stop using Primal relay as an inbox, ffs.
Are we going to have to hardcode in a relay ingest-block into our clients? Why do you do this?

#AfD ist nur Trump auf Preußisch. Weil alles nicht ausreichend Scheiße ist. Und die Linken, genauso. Sozialistischen Unfug. Die Deutschen wissen nie, wann zu viel genug ist. 😏

LOL. When you microblog about trying to lose some weight, the trolls rush up to explain to everyone that it's proof that you're overweight.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

I see your Monero address on nosmero.com, but not on m.nosmero.com.
You'll have to tell me, if this worked.

I block Primal and Damus and read off of Primus, instead.

Hardware wallets and self-hosted Lightning have been catastrophic for the adoption of Bitcoin as currency. I think this is what we're finding out.
You don't spend money you've put on a hardware wallet, and the "feel" of using an ETF mimics a hardware wallet.
Self-hosted Lightning nodes are constantly offline, erroring out, have channels down, etc. Only the professionally managed ones (including Phoenix) actually work when you need them to work. And people are averse to moving their Bitcoin onto Lightning, as it's a pain to bring it back on-chain, and they get eaten up by fees.
Bitcoin's practical availability mimics a CD (certificate of deposit). I.e., it's purposefully put in places that make it difficult to spend. You need advanced notice and preparation to get it moving, and even then I'm often standing there, watching them fiddle around on their laptop or cell phone like, "Oh, give me a minute; looks like my server is facing a DDoS... erm... oof, kinda doesn't work right now... Don't be hatin, okay, but do you take cash?" On-chain Bitcoin should theoretically be easier, but the way people store on-chain Bitcoin -- locked into a treasure chest and dug into the roots of the tree in the backyard -- it's even less available than Lightning.

Don't bother telling me that they're only giving me significant-sized Monero tips to impress me with how spendable their money is. Y'all Bitcoin Maxis are many many more people and you have had over 3 years to impress me with how spendable your money is.

And, no, throwing coins at millionaires and billionaires doesn't count. You don't need zap functionality to bring more owls to Athens.
You know who spends Bitcoin, on here?
