What's the biggest annoyance you have with White Noise at the moment? What needs to be made better?

Hey Max,

When I installed the app and connected to a friend's npub, his viewable name was 2 random words, let's say Rosy Groove (not his Nostr profile name)

Sending him a message resulted in a tick mark for me but he didn't receive the message.

Then he (separately) invited me, I accepted the invitation, and another Rosy Groove turned up on my list of chats. That chat did work, both sending and receiving.

However when he changed his profile name, he still showed up as Rosy Groove in my chat list.

That might be because he has bad relays in his list. Can you check that? We show a random username instead of the npub if we cannot find a kind0 username.

@Derek Ross we are loving your work on Omarchy Mobile.

Please keep the #nostriches up to date (as well as posting on X). Don't give anyone a reason to use X in place of Nostr. 🙂

No idea how you manage so much building, even while you are travelling to Amsterdam, but it's inspiring to see.

Jason Lowery's recent X posts on BTC being used as protection against AI attacks (and information slop) have all been taken down.

Here's a screenshot of one, for the record.

Desktop operating systems seem to be going in two different directions for the self-sovereign individual.

On one team, we have Omarchy (@Nathan Day and even the great @Gigi has hinted he uses it), with its easy personalisation and integrated AI harnesses.

On the other, we have Qubes OS (for the true privacy folks like @Max, who has written articles on it).

These OSs seem at odds with each other with the classic convenience/privacy trade-off.

- Qubes would seem like the natural Nostriches choice; but,

- Omarchy presents SO much convenience for devs, but potential for making bad privacy mistakes (indeed I tried it and cursed myself for accidentally allowing Claude access to a private file on my laptop).

Anyone want to share thoughts on what OS is best for a laptop that is going to be used for dev work on sovereign projects? And if you use Omarchy, how you ensure privacy.

**"Omarchy’s ‘self-sovereign OS’ vision leans hard into the ‘app store as sovereign’ model—yet how does it reconcile the friction of onboarding users who still expect drag-and-drop file management, not just NIP-05 identity swaps?"** The tension between "sovereignty" and usability is fas...
