The 1.0.2 wisp apk, went from 41 to 78mb, for such small update.

Any thoughts

?

The reaction button is the EVILEST engineered tech of the digital, if not the entire industrial era. No military apparatus has mass-colonised the human psyche to such complete subjugation.

Disguised as generosity, predatory by nature -- it runs a chemical charade over the neurological system, farming the individual into an optimisation-hungry vegetable, with the artistic prowess of a broccoli.

As an average Xennial, I witnessed first-hand the transition from poorly-written MySpace dossiers on single-processor desktops to a gamified Facebook in multi-core pocket phones. We went from retarded blogging to revolving in cesspools.

The nostr protocol and its team of 4000 keep me awake at night. Its ungovernable nature could prove more destructive than all other platforms combined — precisely because it mirrors the same feature rails as its predecessors: reactions, reposts, comments, etc.

If nostr is to WIN, it must do so through unprecedented innovation that enhances human cognition, intellectuality, and empirical truth.

Today marks three years of #nostronly for me.

May I commend

for "pioneering" user control over the button row by enabling removal of the reaction button entirely, an Amethyst update last week.

Zapping is poised to be the greatest innovation for healthy social interaction. Its skin-in-the-game nature carries a singular bias: genuine desirability. Inversely, a zapless post, perhaps what this note will turn out to be, is not inherently bad, undesirable or nefarious; merely a tractionless idea registered at a particular time and space.

If free will exists, there is a chance for zapless content being read. Negative reaction counts -- by trolls or not -- will crush any narural inclination towards curiousity.

Also, reaction buttons -- their statistical counts and qualitative weight -- have demonstrably poisoned the nature of discourse in the comment section, for over a decade. It's only natural for humans to gang up on an idea they were "sold".

Long-winded way to say: keep your sanity and enhance the quality of posts and comments by deleting gamified reaction buttons.

Done once, done for all.

PS: btw, I use wisp.

In The Morning!! 🥳🎉

The price per litre for gasoline at the cheapest location in New Zealand, near Port of Tauranga. That's $7.34 USD per gallon, to my whinning-American fellas.

In hindsight, gasoline was ~$1.50 here in 2007. Very few products or services accrued less than 100% inflation since. Even with the GCC shenannigans and high demand, petrol is tracking at a low premium... for Fiat standards that is.

did it again!!! Thank you, good sir!

Have been using Wisp Android Client ( https://github.com/barrydeen/wisp ) full time since v0.2.5. and WOW!

Best inbox/outbox model, by far. Fastest than any client I've used. Amethyst misses a few notes if compared to Gossip and Voyage, but Wisp matches the accuracy of the latter and bags them all with speed, specially fetching lists.

The NWC is plain simple: MUST paste in, and done. It saves time trying to figure out or remember busy UIs.

Very interesting feature: Proof-of-work on notes and reactions. Makes me NOT miss ReplyGuy and ;;;;

Wisp will make onboarding people elegantly easier. Very exciting.

Nostr WILL win!

BitChat: came for the bluetooth mesh, stayed for the geofenced irc-like chat via nostr.

Infinity. If physically true and we cannot "reach for the stars", is it of any relevance to the living?

Have been following the Albyhub disconnection issue for the past few months.

• For 7 months I have never been disconnected running it on vanilla Ubuntu, port 8029 alongside a Haven Relay. Nothing else.

• All Start9 OS users I contacted are experiencing the disconnection.

My findings: the Start9 team bundled the Albyhub app into a docker container, listening to PORT 8080. Code at line 102 (see github link below).

https://github.com/Start9Labs/albyhub-startos/blob/main/docker_entrypoint.sh

Early in September, the Albyhub team had already shifted from 8080 to 8029 for reasons I cannot remember. I have ran it on 8029 since inception, no issues.

Perhaps there is reasoning why Start9 OS chose 8080, let us know otherwise.

The Albyhub code has worked flawlessly when natively, WITHOUT the auto-unlock feature and certainly not advisable if running it on a cloud VPS (unencrypted stored password).

The hiccup must be due to either Docker or the selected port 8080.

Least to say, Albyhub is the BEST compromise for key sovereignty!!!

Let's hope these have not learned the bad habit of biting rudders off, akin to their distant Portugal-coast cousins. #sail #rudder #orca #nz #tauranga
