Are you using Z.ai's GLM 5.3? I use it daily. Anthropic just named it a threat. https://www.anthropic.com/research/glm-5-3-and-the-spread-of-advanced-cyber-capabilities

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! I have a call with this handsome many here this morning. Let him know that you're still bullshit. 🫂💜🤙🏻 https://blossom.ditto.pub/7de01c2e1568fe8b40a1a941e6458de230d89f650662916a94546bad6d9bfc23.jpeg

nostr needs more collaboration. we will be able to go farther together, than we ever would going at it alone. the new NostrHub is our attempt to help facilitate that vision. read more here: https://soapbox.pub/blog/nostrhub-2

I have a dream: frontier-quality open source AI models for everyone. Running locally on devices you own, or in encrypted enclaves that give you real privacy. No cloud dependency, data harvesting, or corporate gatekeepers.
That's when the freedom tech stack is complete: Bitcoin + Nostr + Personal AI.
Open money. Open communication. Open intelligence.

Last week, I was stuck in an airport for six hours and ended up talking with a few college kids about Nostr, mostly about diVine. They were shocked when I told them I deleted my Twitter account with 30K+ followers three years ago. They were even more surprised when I said follower counts don’t really matter.
They were very focused on numbers and influence. They’re young, and I don’t think my perspective fully landed, but they did say I seemed pretty zen and surprisingly chill about it all.
I hope we reach a point when more people feel this way.

Twitter going down highlights the need for decentralized social communication, but most won't understand. If censorship didn't entice them, this won't either. Keep building.

Podcasters: what are your thoughts on hosting your media yourself versus using a hosting provider?
I'm thinking about using Castopod. It's FOSS. I can easily add the Podcasting 2.0 tags. I already have a server. I already have it running and all configured 🤓
Has anyone used this platform for their podcast?

Hey new Nostr users that have jumped on Nostr thanks to @npub1xr7…2gqh, I'd like to take a moment and blow your mind and show you the power of Nostr. You're probably using Damus or Primal right now. I want you to go and download an app called @npub1yfg…v6vg or @npub1v5u…n0v5 . You can get either of these on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. They're essentially Spotify but for Nostr. Once you have either one downloaded, you're going to want to "sign in" to this app with your private key or secret key from your Damus or your Primal. This is the long ugly looking string of characters that starts with NSEC. This is like your super secret password that you can never change, so you do want to keep it save and never share it. This key unlocks your identity. Now that you're signed into these apps, you can now comment on songs, boost them, share them, etc. and you'll see that activity in your Damus or Primal. Why? Because it's the same ecosystem and all of these apps work together. How fucking cool is that?
