This is a thread for random discussions that gets posted everyday at 5am central.

Don’t have much to share today, just want to test how this site works

happy to have you 🫡

Web3.0 is the gift that keeps giving….. I’m at work today and I’m introduced to one of the bosses associates;

Me; ‘..so what do you do?’
Him; ‘I’m in blockchain and AI, web3.0 if you have heard of it?’
Me; ‘thats amazing, cutting edge stuff. Excuse me, I need to go back to my duties.’

Cleaning the halls was preferable to engaging with a vapid empty suit oxygen thief like that.

reply

I'd actually be kinda curious, I never met one of these people out in the wild before lol

reply

It’s not the first time. The guy I work for in this capacity is a ‘gamer-tech-bro’ and I don’t actually believe he has any real intellectual investment in these technologies. Hes an optimistic / opportunistic VC who made good and has acquired a few hangers on. They all drive supercars and airsoft at the weekend (they were packing their gear today). So something is working for them.

Idea: rename "Daily discussion thread" into "Daily Saloon"? @kr wdyt?

reply

Bitcoin is not even 4% mainstream imo.

reply

Why 4%? Seems unusually specific? (Not trolling just interested).

Woke up with a headache, which does not bode well. I will probably work half a day and relax the rest of the day. Get a full night of rest, maybe sleep in tomorrow.

reply

I caught a sore throat myself and I got flight to catch Monday what fun!

reply

One of those days…. One of those weeks

reply

Lol. Sounds like you had a hectic week? Hopefully the weekend will be better.

reply

Gotta hope. Taking Sunday off to be with the family though.

That's good buddy. You must enjoy the break.

lol, 0 posts? It's true (except bio)

@orthwyrm may be (one of) the most efficient stackers, ha

edit: okay, looking at top cowboys, maybe @orthwyrm is actually the stacker most in the red, lol

reply

I initially thought so too, but upon further inspection there are some cowboys who have generously zapped ridiculous amounts for rather little return.

@endothermicdev has a stack-to-zap ratio of nearly 1:100.

Maybe you should start another streak:

Day 3 of being the first in the DDT

reply

Great idea!
But can I still keep my __@_'-' streak. I don't want to waste the effort I've put into this streak. I'm enjoying the journey to $100k

reply

Yes, I meant you can keep two separate streaks going :)

reply

I will do that. Hopefully I can keep the early bird streak. I might call it: Keeping my early bird streak. Does anyone know how to write bird with symbols like __@_'-'

reply

Hard to do in one line. Maybe you can just sketch the head of a bird:

Great. Thank you.

lol, don't birds also eat snails?

Lmao. Good point. I didn't even think of that.

But I enjoy spending time here more than nostr.

  • Nosrt is too saturated, most trending content is from big influencers, and it is hard to discover good content or interesting minds.
  • SN is full of interesting brains that share first-hand experiences and thoughts, generally fun.

Like all these 52 replies under my comment, many are more like two people replying to each other - is the root commenter supposed to notify that without being tagged?

Also, it seems comments are flowing around.

Not implemented yet, I just had the idea that we could allow to show images in full screen on long press on images. There, we could also show a link to the original source for full resolution = better quality.

We use an image proxy for privacy reasons (so you don't leak your IP address to random hosts). However, the image proxy part is not implemented well since it's too intrusive and bad UX (as you noticed, haha) but we're working on it.

I've seen your image - I think you removed it because the image proxy again downsampled it.

But you can prevent that image URLs are replaced with our image proxy by wrapping the links with '`' like this:

we're 99% sure this is the fix; just waiting for release

edit: also not sure if @sahil encountered the bug or just never seen reply on another page before

but lol, sometimes finding the location and figuring out whats up is the time sink!

yeah, i was completely oblivious that the bug could be right there where the comment is sent to the backend, lol

i tried to reproduce so hard i didn't think just looking at the code would be enough

but @k00b found it pretty quick then :)

currently working on Auto-rotate setting not respected in PWA

I hope this doesn't take so long to fix

deleted by author

reply

You can workaround the bug by refreshing the page before replying for now :) It's caused by stale data

I think we will release the fix on Monday (when @k00b is back from TABconf)

I will piggyback your targets when I notice you fund diamonds. I think you changed the perspective around here. 10000 sats seems huge, but it's not. I really noticed it when I did the conversion in my head on the Satsraiser. A drop in the bucket for any project. It's disappointing. That's why I wish there was some stickiness to keep the sats flowing.

Good point about the stop sign. I guess if it's a case of good account gone bad, I good delete the post to prevent further zaps. (I can't picture black hat Anita)

on another tangent, I just realized in this age of generated everything, what we will value is relationships, who do I zap extra hard, well maybe someone who I can see has been showing up at least consistently, and of course people who seem to come up with original content/comment, or that which at least seems to be useful

Content determines the base value and relationships are multipliers

Hey buddy. I do zap. I can't zap too much because I depend on whatever amount I have left after zapping. Life is getting harder/expensive and making a few extra dollar per month help in more ways than you can imagine. I hope you understand.

Thank you for the advice. I will put in more effort.
