⚡️💬 FLASH - I’m going to be honest and share my thoughts on the Nostr ecosystem, specifically the apps I’ve tried.
@nprofile…pcd3 : 6/10. It lets me see all my notifications, but overall, I don’t like the user interface or the font used.
@nprofile…vnlh : 5/10. It lets me read secure private messages, but the app is generally slow, which ruins the user experience. You have to tap twice to like a post, and the name needs to be changed—I think it’s very poorly chosen.
@nprofile…54wh : 7/10. This is the app I use the most—it's the fastest—but its development is very slow: you have to wait nearly a year before you can add GIFs. Plus, adding the "Read" category to the bottom bar is pointless: in two years, I've never read a single "read."
@nprofile…fvca : 4/10. The design is gorgeous. But the app is still just a prototype—or even unusable. It's IMPOSSIBLE to delete the wallet, and the app is extremely slow.
@nprofile…668f : 4/10. I can't find anything good about it. Overall, it's inferior in every way, and I don't like the ergonomics.
@nprofile…fynw : 8/10. This is the best web app: I can split the screen in half and keep track of my notifications while scrolling through my news feed. It's really too bad there isn't a mobile app.
@nprofile…w524 : 2/10. I haven't used that interface since 2024–2025. I hated the color scheme and the interface.
@nprofile…s096 : ?/10. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this because I've never tried it. The app is available exclusively on Android.
I encourage all of you to keep up the good work and listen to user feedback. Now, with Claude and cie, I think we’ll see some great things in the future.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Thomas Massie reminds all Americans that the Second Amendment exists to overthrow and replace a tyrannical government, not just for duck hunting.
"The Second Amendment is about keeping our government in check."
"Keeping a tyrannical government from evolving and giving you the means to enforce the Constitution."

⚡🐮 NEW - Peter Thiel just bet $2 billion on a collar that wraps around a cow’s neck.
The company is called Halter and it has a proprietary algorithm that runs the entire operation.
They actually trademarked the name for it and called it the Cowgorithm and here's how it works.
A farmer opens an app, taps a button, and 600,000 cows across three countries start walking toward the milking station on their own.
No farm dogs, fences or physical labor, it's just a solar-powered GPS collar sending sound and vibration cues to each animal.
The collar does more than move cows around.
It monitors digestion, fertility cycles, and health patterns in real time, 24 hours a day, using machine learning trained on the behavior of hundreds of thousands of animals.
Halter was founded by a rocket engineer who built spacecraft at Rocket Lab before deciding that farming was the bigger unsolved problem.
US ranchers alone have already used the technology to build over 11,000 miles of virtual fencing, roughly the full perimeter of the continental United States, saving an estimated $220 million in physical fencing costs.
Halter's previous funding round valued the company at $1 billion.
This new round, led by Thiel's Founders Fund, doubles that valuation to $2 billion before the new money even hits the account.
And they charge farmers between $5 and $8 per animal per month on a subscription model, meaning the more cows they collar, the more locked-in the revenue becomes.
The most powerful venture capitalist on earth just decided that the future of food and farming runs through an algorithm named after a cow. (Bloomberg) https://blossom.primal.net/88b78c08e4243894481c1c5ced2f5a0a28446cb63939f8c53e1ff2c002e1c295.mp4

⚡🇷🇸 WATCH - Novak Djokovic: “Federer and Nadal come from two Western powers. I showed up from Serbia and said out loud that I was going to be number 1. The whole system didn't like that: media, sponsors, tournaments. I felt like an unwanted guest crashing their party. It really hurt me back then. They wanted me to play to their tune — be politically correct, fit into their script. It hurt me so much that I even changed my behavior, hoping they'd accept me. In the end, I understood that I had to stay true to myself and accept that some people will never like me. And that's fine. I am who I am and I sleep peacefully.” https://blossom.primal.net/02e88d4515d725e56c33531daa86721ba90f7fa226260b9ea88f5a466be17203.mp4
