Once was 'airspace restrictions' and the other time the jetway operator messed up and gashed a scratch across the side of the airplane.

Yep some folks will definitely choose purity, that’s your choice. Its open source and you’re free to build an artisanal version by hand. I don’t think there will be any consumer apps in 2026 that didn’t use agentic tools for development.

If you actually want to know how we deal with AI generated content read divine.video/proofmode

6 months ago I listed to a podcast about Vine and its history. It got me thinking, how hard could it be to bring Vine back, but open and on Nostr.

That lead to me building divine.video and announcing it in November. It got tons of attention, and I’ve been working hard to fix my vibe coded prototype in to something which would be usable by mainstream noobies. The Nostr tech and community has been critical to this, I couldn’t have done it without you all.

The podcast, Vine: 6 seconds that changed the world, reached out to me and they’ve put out an episode about Divine!

It’s really good, talks about how divine came to be and really gets in to our movement for open permissionless protocols. They do it in a way that’s not technical or overly jargony.

Please take a listen and share it.

@nprofile1q... I’ve noticed that primal doesn’t unfollow someone when you mute them. Basically meaning you still get their content. This feels like a bug. :-)🐛

I was wondering why I feel so tired then I realized that I’m at the end of my second night in a row in an airport lounge due to flight delays. Ugh.

@nprofile1q... but it should be up to them to decide the future of their own country. I doubt moving from a country with a funded mental health are system to one without it would help, but it's not up to us. It should be a decision of the Greenlandic people. While they are a colony of Denmark, the arrangement is that they'll be granted full independence if a majority of the population votes for it. Self-determination means they have the right to make very different decisions than you'd make.

It's very flashy and they're kind of obsessed with being the biggest / best / most of any given thing in the world. The only freedom i saw was financial freedom. It feels very open and western on the surface but it's a theocratic absolute monarchy that keeps the vast majority of the population on precarious work visas. Generally I got the vibe that they were very interested in social status, privilege of the elite, and maintaining a strictly hierarchical society.

I heard a story about somebody's friend who'd been pissed off about traffic on some busy road so she said out loud, in public, 'Fuck Sheikh Zayed' referring to the Sheikh Zayed Road which has traffic problems. Somebody heard it, reported it, and she was questioned by the police for illegal and subversive speech.

Needless to say it didn't feel like a very open or freedom loving place.
