How do I even search for such stories???

I had literally zero experience with Javascript, bots and serverless deployment, but it wasn&#39;t THAT bad.<br/><br/>The thing is my friends and I constantly share posts from Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, TikTok, etc, and it was pretty inconvenient to open browser/apps, considering half of them are blocked, and we have to turn VPN on every time.<br/><br/>I knew about embed links (reddit... -&gt; vxreddit...), but I keep forgetting them lmao. That&#39;s why I&#39;ve written an inline bot which replaces a normal link with an embed one, so I don&#39;t have to think at all<br/><br/>#telegram #javascript 2024-11-22T15:50:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvnmzssgkpw6rywg37unhsjfw0fg3xuu8efvq73xc0uwc7uf4s7lczyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2lq8mgp Continuing my thoughts on whether I should write a book or make a game:<br/><br/>They&#39;re not just different mediums, they also have different audiences. Sure, first of all I should choose what feels better for me personally, but if I don&#39;t want to leave my work in a vacuum and if I want other people to enjoy it, I should keep in mind that generally speaking individuals who read indie books are not the same who play indie games.<br/><br/>#writing #writingcommunity #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev 2024-11-19T13:08:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszkwzmt0y2gjuep47t4zphx3m23rv25tvx7g5y6nsrs0clmwvgjsczyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2ag9nyu It&#39;s interesting that Nostr and Bluesky have diametrically opposite approaches.<br/><br/>Bluesky: UX first, but decentralization?

It&#39;s kinda weird that your followers can only see half of your posts just because their preferred client hides the other half<br/>(Yes, I know that YakiHonne shows both now) 2024-11-08T11:30:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswcykwtm2xykav63wzmqmvhrdx2qkv40z4fza9fh5zlqxu22jmahgzyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2m8vdq2 There is something about music in Westerns that makes me love sun and dust 2024-10-22T14:08:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdqwa24cryvuzuch26c4vza4486ztmul5zq99phvmu656chkka07czyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2se9qfk Did I write an entire article on how much I love &#39;3:10 to Yuma&#39;?

I would like to write something interesting, deep and captivating, but there is a problem — I have never written anything longer than a chapter before 🗿 2024-10-18T23:09:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfxr2dlky7fqlc98v30mlphaultluppqwjhg9zst3ykwrhcvcfahczyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl20x5y37 An observation I made as a self-driving car developer:<br/>Predictability of a car&#39;s behavior matters A LOT. A self-driving car might be the safest as in cautious, but if people are unable to guess what it&#39;s about to do, there will be problems, even if it follows traffic laws better than people. We had dangerous situations because our car was way too cautious when people and other drivers expected it to behave the same way as them. 2024-10-18T22:28:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszkh8h35whmjmzmzs2275txjeycegqdkmwstdl6m0us3jcmvyym7czyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2d9rpwj Every social network has its requirements and constrains. If I want to write a long post, I would have to split it into several posts for Mastodon and Bluesky (split differently — Mastodon allows 500 symbols whilst Bluesky allows 300), and many Nostr clients just don&#39;t display articles.<br/>I think the best option is to have my own website where I would publish all my random shit and then post a link to it on multiple social networks. Why is it not the default way of building an internet identity?<br/>Social networks come and go, but my silly articles should stay, hehe. I&#39;m thinking how to make my website pretty and comfortable to read. 2024-10-16T14:32:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg0mws09w7zswyyvgdea93vy5wf2l5ytg4v3sdhj5thw2sm5ayjcgzyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2nzkly5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9tmcvpeq8res8vkms9vutm0heqhzhd4gtgd6kla5ja7h9qrj02lgg4z8m3'>nevent1q…z8m3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, I&#39;m not a web tech pro, but from my understanding:<br/>1. Account transfer to another Mastodon server is pain in the ass.<br/>Servers can block other servers, and the server users have no control over it.<br/>Some servers are managed by enthusiasts who can suddenly decide to shut down their server for reasons like no time and/or no money or just because.<br/>2. I don&#39;t see how Bluesky is decentralized now. Maybe it will be someday, but considering how governments like to block random stuff, the default instance bsky.social can be suddenly blocked as well. You can also get bamboozled from the Bluesky side.<br/>Since Bluesky mostly uses its servers, it needs money to run them. It&#39;s still not clear how exactly it will get revenue.<br/><br/>I might be wrong about something here, feel free to correct me. 2024-10-15T02:29:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0m6pz75z3q8ne54gsc58s0lv92ga443lgvjxj4cm7t22n89k5njqzyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl295xw9a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy4dk2md9klmvcvmghuh5sve56yzudxqyx7pvhz5wfp46yurxgu3cw3ehzu'>nevent1q…ehzu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Wow that&#39;s quite a answer! If people like you (non-Bitcoiners) have been staying here for a year, I might have a chance then hehe.<br/>Same with Twitter, I only joined a few years ago and left like ~2 years ago. Life is definitely better without shit storms that happen on Twitter on a daily basis.<br/>What I like about Nostr is this place is absolutely alive. Somehow (different people using different clients with different feed algorithms, apparently) users react to what I post and it doesn&#39;t disappear in the web void. Hell, I didn&#39;t even expect anybody to read my rant,<br/>I&#39;ll probably keep posting my random observations 🤓 2024-10-14T01:57:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqtwp0e53nuhxryemqxvvpjtah7wascw6e5rq8avpjqll4j8adlnqzyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl2dur9cz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgq59pjw4v97xt2p74q32jt85flne4jse6d2xc87y965hm68as9tsj5maml'>nevent1q…maml</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nostr is a little less popular than Mastodon or Bluesky. If one googles social networks with anti-corporation philosophy it&#39;s inevitable to see Nostr put in the same sentence as Mastodon and Bluesky. Those two aren&#39;t perfect, so I decided to give Nostr a chance (which is not perfect either), and here I am. Out of all 3, Nostr seems to have the least fundamental problem since it&#39;s not the protocol design as far as I can tell, but the lack of audience variety. Yeah, Bitcoiners are everywhere here 😅 Some redditors even publish posts like &#34;Non-Bitcoin accounts to follow on Nostr&#34;. Seems like it&#39;s not just me, many people would like to join. 2024-10-14T00:52:37Z
