You're getting it anyway, big boy. Fuck around and find out. That's my general life philosophy. Don't fuck around and then cry when you find out.

Many things are easier to do incorrectly, but most things are easy to do correctly. Just do things correctly. Consequences can be unpredictable and painful.

A "money expert" who never encourages #Bitcoin (even a little) is an expert clown.

I didnt test anything else. For what it's worth, current Brave is the mobile browser. Getting in the weeds, Brave's filters could be checking things before loading them and slowing something down, but I'm not sure how exactly they work so I'm just guessing. Either way, that would still be quite slow.

The drop down for relay moderators, the copy button at the bottom, and the sign in button. I initially went to the sign in button and clicking it did nothing, so I clicked the others to test them. After 30-60 seconds they became responsive. I suspect something is being loaded on page load and takes longer than the elements for some reason. It may be cached after the first use, but people will probably think it's broken

I used it a couple times years ago and it was cancer. I'm shocked it's even still around.

They can verify deez nuts

I'd hoped they would have turned on Hamas a lot sooner.

Dealerships are goofy as fuck. I've watched a 12 year old SUV with 133k miles sit on their lot for months. "Retail" labeled as $13995. So why the fuck have I watched the price drop multiple times down to 8900 right now? They still can't admit how retarded prices have been. The truth is that it hasn't even retailed for 8900 yet. They told me to fuck off when I asked for 9k from 12k. Funny how things work. Now I'm going to ask for 7k lol

You aren't man's best friend...

Do whatever you want with your money. Money is meant to be used, including spending.

Just an FYI for the mobile view of https://theforest.nostr1.com/ , multiple elements don't do anything on click for a while after landing. I haven't inspected anything, but maybe certain resources are taking a while to load? It makes the site seem broken at first. Solid internet commection and updated browser on my end.

To be clear, this is my user perspective. I'm not commenting on the technical merit of how people build apps. That's a complex topic with many variables.

I love Nostr and the general builder attitude, but there's a lot more to replacing legacy networks and applications than just firing together a vibed app that kind of works for ten people. I've seen many apps like this where people excitedly proclaim the end on such an app or service only to abandon it and move on to something else. I'm mostly neutral on vibe coding (it's a tool like anything else), but the easy come, easy go nature of it seems to incentivize the equivalent of space junk. I'm extremely cautious of "fast" tech these days because it causes burnout and disappointment as a user. I think this will improve as users can easily and reliably create their own micro apps and services (probably years), but it's largely a waste of time for me right now (as a user). I love the general spirit and enthusiasm though. There are some good tools in the junk.

Maybe everything you know and believe is wrong. I knew and believed that real estate was my best option before I asked myself why that was true. Newsflash: It wasn’t. I was wrong. A key component of intelligence is the ability to question others and especially yourself. Fortunately, I can do that on Nostr now by sending out my thoughts or experiences (like my recent Lightning notes). Being smart isn’t about being right. Never questioning what you think is a red flag for stupidity.

I actually prefer the most private option. It's one of the reasons I gained initial interest.

I suppose the amount of sats for self-custody would be fine for many (not overall but I'm willing to excuse it for now). It's all the other bullshit that disinterests me. I spend more time troubleshooting the thing than using it. I guess I just don't see the point of it all if we centralize everything all over again. And that's the only way I see most people using most of this stuff as it is.

I'm not sure which of those does or should have more responsibility or complexity. Especially since you can use either one for both functions.

I don't really have a better solution. The UX is just shit for me half the time. I'm sure it all would be better if it could be. I'm skeptical of broad adoption though. At least for any stack that isnt completely controlled.
