Problem is many apps give you a URL field.. and I dont know how man people use that vs. upload, but its possible to bypass the compression if you paste a direct URL.

Back when I did "web stuff" for a law firm, I remember getting tremendous joy out of over-optimizing our websites. While all law firm websites served giant images that didn't even use CDNs, we had the fastest website around. Probably faster than 99.99% of websites on the entire web. I literally watched Google's developer optimization talks to figure out how to squeeze every last bit of performance out.

It sucks that there are people here who call space and space travel fake. They are so fixated on hating "the government" that they cannot see that "the government" is made up of many different parts with hundreds of thousands of humans. Your distrust in one area doesn't need to be reinforced in another simply because they share the label. Also, just the sheer lack of critical thinking is disappointing.
Luckily, we have mute buttons.

NASA and SpaceX makes me bullish on humanity. The amount of talent that goes into pulling off space missions is insane. The engineering required not to screw up one little thing that derails the entire mission is mind-boggling. It's humbling to know humans are capable of this.

Dude, they reply to everyone. So, every single new user is getting Rizspammed. It's automatically turning nostr intro a "crypto bro" protocol.

2026-04-03 06:51:05 UTC

I think it's a mistake to marry the 2 concepts as if they were one. Nostr didn't start with zaps. Zaps are not core to nostr experience. They are interesting, and free speech can use free money, but it should not be the default experience for all new users. Luckily, clients can decide what is core to their UX and what's not, but not all users should have to care about a lightning address and "helpful" tips are not all that helpful if you're not planning on zapping on nostr. In fact, some might consider them spam.

which is 90% of nostr. its spam. no excuses.

2026-04-03 06:28:51 UTC

Interest (hashtag) based feeds are so useless for onboarding. You have a handful of spammers spamming pretty much every hashtag. I don't see any way around that other than just following some people.
Kind of sad that a few people are ruining first time experience for everyone. Same with Rizful that constantly spams new users about lighthing addresses. Scum.
