Seth left the dead bird for Nostr in Feb 2023. Same time I did. Instead of doom scrolling, he built @zap_cooking—a social network for foodies on Nostr. We talked about why he made the switch and what he's building. Listen on @fountain_app: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

"It's a peer-to-peer network, and people are sharing with other plebs, and it's a beautiful thing." Seth built @zap_cooking because he wanted a place to share recipes without the clutter. No ads. No Christmas tales before the ingredient list. On Radio Detox: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

The social worker in me always wonders how folks will navigate the inevitable. The way the money is changing. The way AI is changing the world of creativity and work.

Listen to Radio Detox on @fountain_app with Seth from Zap.Cooking. What started as "Nostr dot anything was available" became a community staple. @zap_cooking strips away the blog fluff and gives you recipes—that's it.

What if a recipe site just... gave you the recipe? No life story. No ads. No scroll of doom. That's @zap_cooking I talked to Seth about building it on Nostr and why peer-to-peer recipe sharing just works. Listen on Fountain: fountain.fm/show/radiodetox

3 Open Source Vibe Coding Benefits: 1. Flexibility to customize your workflow. Shakespeare is big on this: BYOK, choose @GitHub or @GitLab, & pay USD or BTC. You control your code & projects.

Vibe coding is supposed to be easy. So why does everyone complicate it?

Screenshot essay titled 'Template #4: Myths' discussing the misconceptions around vibe coding. It emphasizes that vibe coding is unnecessarily complicated, driven by fears of making mistakes and the constraints of apps like Replit that charge for prompts. The essay argues that this pressure leads to overthinking and discourages creativity. It offers advice for users, regardless of technical skill, highlighting the importance of building at your skill level, the value of design, the necessity of follow-up prompts, and the reality of debugging AI coding. The final message encourages users to enjoy the creative process without the stress of scarcity.

For the longest time I've wondered why I see new vibe coders pull together no fewer than half a dozen tools in order to create ONE vibe coding prompt. This. This is why.

Social media is full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped results. Meanwhile, Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to:

1) infringe our rights
2) terrorize our communities
3) disappear legal residents
4) smash into cars & private homes
5) tackle & detain lawmakers

Spotify is wrapped in complicity for helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

TOP & REASONS WHY ICE IS SPOTIFY'S #1 FAN
1) Spotify is running ICE ads in between your favorite songs
2) Spotify claims that ICE recruitment ads DID NOT violate it's ad policies
3) While ICE terrorizes communities, Spotify is helping boost their recruitment efforts
4) Spotify would rather be wrapped in complicity to ICE's terror than refuse ICE ad money

King Gizzard Pulled Their Music From Spotify in Protest, and Now Spotify Is Hosting AI Knockoffs of Their Songs

I don't need the govt to recognize today. I will remember who I lost and that is what matters. That things have improved after all these years is what matters. It just didn't improve in time for us to not have lost so many. We still talk about you. ♥️

How much can you earn on Nostr? For that, we go to Zaplytics! It lets you measure your Nostr success in sats. Nostr is post-Internet slime; we don't care about likes & follows there. Be free.

If you're tired of the rug pulls by Big Tech™, there's Nostr to replace everything from Twitch to Patreon and even Spotify. Monetization baked in with no moving goal posts to navigate (lookin' at you, YouTube). Owning your data. No deplatforming. Get started: nostr-creators.shakespeare.wtf

Here's a simple how-to-zap on @wavlake guide. I'm inspired by seeing new musicians joining Nostr and promoting their songs there. Wavlake is free to use and the idea is that you zap an artist however much you want when you like a song. But it's so much more than *just that* 👇
