They send a &#34;less than 49 character&#34; reply, which is quite annoying. Every so often I go through and unsubscribe them.<br/><br/>Anyway - an (imperfect) sieve filter script is below that sorts these annoying responses into a different folder.<br/> <img src="https://assets.bne.social/media_attachments/files/117/454/503/627/556/676/original/6ae2b9b5b69d9421.png"> <br/> <img src="https://assets.bne.social/media_attachments/files/117/454/503/611/446/142/original/de19fd749709fdf5.png"> <br/> 2026-10-17T05:04:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr658azjsndkhljgwgux2zsrrkdjg7cnzv4362effn6drpen639dgzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjaykptmcm More than 2 million searches... what are people searching for in Podnews?<br/><br/>Not sure what this tells me (if anything).<br/> <img src="https://assets.bne.social/media_attachments/files/117/319/089/126/321/113/original/15b57368d57bf3a0.png"> <br/> 2026-09-23T07:07:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgxfc9p9lsu6wquwe5rcwmtgjy2rr7n64qkkcskqcjqtrgu9dakcszyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjay6saa2d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxzehftdhf8n9hvrgkf6kgd75dwzq3x92n0g04ks7ljzrkkmzwnxs0p6yns'>nevent1q…6yns</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think you need a &#34;price you see is the price you pay&#34; law, which is the case in most parts of the world.

Makes for a cleaner invoice!<br/><br/>I’ve found that if you give people clear payment instructions via bank transfer (which is different in every country) then people are quite happy to pay that way - and most prefer it.<br/><br/>#australia #smallbusiness 2026-09-08T23:09:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfek8uskwn4gsayqvp2r0kkd3qgx9w6re57k4azsyhgd7xz4vwa0gzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjayyyutk7 Impressive stuff from Goalhanger.<br/><a href="https://podnews.net/update/goalhanger-rest-is-fest">https://podnews.net/update/goalhanger-rest-is-fest</a><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://assets.bne.social/media_attachments/files/117/229/730/538/337/186/original/89e56bb196a5e007.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-09-07T12:22:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq3f46qedcwpsgwu5kwk752uxamlstr86usyxhgd8v6v0v9rq8a8szyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjay8gpd04 A breathless email comes in, promoting a new product I would like to buy:<br/><br/>&#34;(Product) is designed to take a bounded set of safe inputs and return<br/>a customer-facing determination while the internal method remains<br/>protected.&#34;<br/><br/>Brilliant, glad to hear it, but I&#39;m not that interested, thanks, principally because I have no fucking idea what any of this means. 2026-08-26T06:21:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq3fnw6vcge27ltzfkdsplfnuuem8s5yxvrmlrqfgfnn4rcgzfxdgzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjayyrvpx8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2rmuuywv0vz92xzs8hq4e7tzpjzwc82g23tvdv7kugjgfsmaftzsemtexk'>nevent1q…texk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ah, yes.<br/><br/><a href="https://podnews.net/podcasts/with/alberto+betella">https://podnews.net/podcasts/with/alberto+betella</a><br/><br/>Oops. 2026-08-25T02:59:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz93pn20x4wkhs8wz2yufnxykn5zr0p3wlvg0dcammdp0hhgjm0sczyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjay3u5872 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq7e9whkgvhqz2rnskhv427s0dlxet0xkfyjqehss6wu7nnp3h5ks0e5gjz'>nevent1q…5gjz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I thought you might spot that 2026-07-05T08:09:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfek84rt0yr6zzp36t702x5jyhgpvpwnrkdrg7j0cp4899pyy04qgzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjayus6h3r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqgnmg4g5fqpxxmukr8eg2vudchww0hr8g722dd6ry4k0kepa840qy9qmdr'>nevent1q…qmdr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I still don’t understand why this helps, unless it removes the payment charges - and why would these companies want to remove the payment charges?<br/><br/>If you want zero payment charges, we already have those in most enlightened democracies - UK, Canada, Australia, the Nordics… this announcement just talks about “faster” payments, which again isn’t an issue in these countries (they’re split-second). And a USD token means, for most countries in the world, a conversion from my currency to USD just to send it.<br/><br/>I can’t see how many of this is going to help the fundamental issue of micropayments. 2026-07-04T22:02:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst0wnjjh0q8wgpzswhd9ct97twk5sxvcmc5fcnga90605r5yz50dqzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjaym4q7k2 RE: <a href="https://bne.social/@james/116827309192939865">https://bne.social/@james/116827309192939865</a><br/><br/>(Not that <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub176495h5jd2deymed6taalm3mwgcg9k9qf6z03vac2wp84htwvzvs66nuj0" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸</span> (<span class="italic">npub1764…nuj0</span>)</a></span> needs more pile-on, but I also don&#39;t like talking about someone behind his back.) 2026-06-28T10:45:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgkkwp2f4syy096ldesrrd70f8jcfh593skcm9len83ex6n40fhdqzyz8pp3cajkuncs0mxlp77ptmwhzrhu3fv564mfuxggr9lpxlxpjayy08yzf An enjoyable few hours on <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fmx5jakry8nhuajef02vjsv7xwpchwwe9h0ytgmj7nynvtc4annqd7wp74" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Adam Curry :pci: :pc2blue:</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fmx…wp74</span>)</a></span> and <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1rcnr0tt3mdzn0zkksz2pzhc39rxn90wmt5yqll2y7dgc73vre0asc2dw4h" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Dave</span> (<span class="italic">npub1rcn…dw4h</span>)</a></span> ‘s Podcasting 2.0 podcast.
