I'm not giving away any trade secrets here. Dive deeper and figure it out for yourself, Watson.

Yes, especially saying bro to your wife or daughters works best.

It works, I can confirm. I always say things like 6-7 or "rizz" and they cringe.

I've had that happen a lot too. The reason for it is the deeply programmed bias in AIs. They were built from the ground up to deliver quick results. Even if they're dirty and sloppy, the main thing is that the user sees something on the screen fast. And then it uses, or should I say abuses, the user as a debugging tool to iteratively get closer to the (cleaner) solution. But that's not something specific to AI either. It comes from our years long 'Agile Development' and 'Scrum' culture. Something that comes from the business side and got solidified in the dotcom era. In most cases, the bosses weren't technicians but business people, and they just couldn't deal with it in project management for their stakeholders that classic development needs a ton of upfront work like planning and design, and that for over 80% of the project time, you see absolutely nothing except code. That didn't work for them; they were too impatient. They wanted to see something quickly. That's why this Agile Development bullshit really caught on with them. And so, even before the AI era, a lot of bloated slop got produced. AIs are just continuing this trend, even for features that really need long planning and research. They just dive right in, and the user is happy. That's the reasoning behind the programmed bias, which is hard to break and actually gets in the way of developing complex projects. Unless you know how to break through that bias. 😏

Bro, where have you been?

Building is so much better than just posting. Even if it's with AI. Even if you only do internal sysops stuff. The satisfaction >>>> *

I'm watching a history documentary about ancient Rome right now, and there's this scene where a politician from the Roman Senate is giving a speech. He's pretending to have the people's best interests in mind, but really he's just pushing his own political agenda. Two thousand years later, today. Politicians are still using this primitive, simple trick to support their arguments, and everyone pretty much knows what's really going on. I find it amazing that humanity, over the last 2000 years or even more, still hasn't come up with a way or a system to counter it, and we're still governed just like back in classical times.

Yea watched that video too. But it also produced a lot of NPCs believing in everything the official media tells them, susceptible to a high degree of brainwashing.

Around $300-$350? 🙂

That's why there is GrapheneOS

How is your Ramadan 🌙 going so far? For me, it's tough, it's stressful. But it's also full of successes and good news.

Yes, they should offer to sell their hardware via Lightning.

How do you best promote Nostr? That's what I was thinking about the other day. Pretty simple: By not mentioning a single word about Nostr. Haha. I know, some folks here are gonna get allergic reactions and break out in pimples around their mouths, but the underlying protocol, all those technical nitpicks, or even relays... none of that means anything to newcomers. The average person only cares about the client. That's what they see, that's what they use. And when you're promoting, you don't talk about how awesome your own client is or what cool features it has, like how #NoorNote has killer NIP-51 list management, or how it shows quoted reposts as replies under the note, or how it can handle and create NIP-71 video content. All of that is soooo boring. The average person has no idea what to do with any of it. Instead, you do a total U-turn back to Nostr's features and promote why someone should even bother using a Nostr client in the first place. I know, some people are getting even more pimples around their mouths right now. But hey, that's just my hypothesis. If you think you know better, go ahead and try whatever you want. Feel free to ramble on about protocols and NIPs and relays for all I care. Anyway, here's my Nostr ad campaign for sure: https://noornote.app/ad-banners/ Grab the banners and spread the word. Just link to https://noornote.app and leave the rest to me 😏. The lame content isn't my issue. But if the content's good enough and the average person sticks around longer, they'll eventually discover and try out other clients too.

Good news. Motorola will have a come-back with GrapheneOS. Official announcement: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

You want the price to go up? I just need to buy some. Then it goes up.

I've been out of the loop these last few days. There's a lot going on in my life right now, including on a personal level. But I managed to squeeze out a mobile version of #NoorNote for you. Give it a try if you like. Head to the download page ( https://noornote.app/download/ ) and scroll to "Mobile". You can download the APK directly from there. Let me know how it works for you. The Keychat option is of course still available as well.

X down again or what?
