Excellent take! 💯

If you are not familiar with VPS and installing your own relayer, I will suggest reading about StarOS from Star9 or Umbrel, in their simple OS you can install in a RaspberryPI 4, preferable a 5 and run a Bitcoin Node, your own nextcloud service and a Nostr Relay among many other apps. It is quite simple and the installation straight forward with a very small learning curve

You have the .onion links to use all apps including NextCloud on remote and a .local address too use them in your LAN, read carefully the certificate installation for the use of the .local, everything works aa intended. mobile apps for some apps like NextCloud won't work on remote (outside of your LAN) since those apps do not support .onion links, you have to use TOR Browser or Brave which supports .onion to access it outside your LAN

📰 The US president pledged to dismantle the country’s international propaganda network And just like that the world is learning the leader role of USA as a propaganda machine with impact worldwide pushing their ideology and agendas at the tune of US dollars... Yes, many of those programs are helpful but not free to the receiver, bending the knee is a requirement for the government or it's opposition of US does not has the control of the government... Art by Ukrainian women and LGBT organizations in the Balkans are among a series of projects funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) targeted for cancelation by the administration of US President Donald Trump, the New York Post has reported. A White House request to US lawmakers to rescind unwanted spending includes $3.2 billion allocated to USAID, which the administration has pledged to dismantle. The programs to be axed include $1.5 million to promote the artwork of Ukrainian women, $3.9 million to support LGBT communities in the western Balkans, and $24.6 million for “climate resilience” in Honduras, according to the report.

### Effects of LLM on the labor market Study made by Stanford University shows six key findings on the early labor market effects of generative AI, using high-frequency payroll data from ADP. They show that since late 2022, coinciding with the widespread adoption of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, employment for early career workers (ages 22–25) in highly AI exposed occupations (e.g., software development, customer service) has declined significantly. Employment for older workers in the same roles and workers in less exposed fields has remained stable or grown. The declines are concentrated in roles where AI is used to automate (rather than augment) tasks, are robust to firm level shocks and remote work considerations, and are more evident in employment numbers than in compensation levels. Here is a summary table: | Statistic / Finding | Value / Description | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | **Relative employment decline** for early-career workers (22–25) in high AI-exposure jobs | 13% (after controlling for firm-level shocks) | | **Overall employment growth** for young workers (22–25) in high-exposure occupations | –6% (from late 2022 to July 2025) | | **Employment growth** for older workers (35–49) in high-exposure occupations | +9% (same period) | | **Adoption of generative AI** among U.S. workers (age 18+) by mid-2025 | 46% | | **Sample size** (monthly payroll records in main analysis) | 3.5–5 million workers | | **Key exposed occupations** | Software developers, customer service representatives, accountants, administrative assistants | | **Key less-exposed occupations** | Nursing aides, maintenance workers, freight movers, home health aides | | **Primary data source** | ADP payroll records (largest U.S. payroll provider) | | **AI exposure metrics used** | Eloundou et al. (2024) GPT-4 β; Handa et al. (2025) Anthropic Economic Index (automation vs. augmentation) | source: https://digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Canaries_BrynjolfssonChandarChen.pdf

hey loopi! Welcome to Nostr, here few tips to get you started ! 1. Setup your NIP-05 (Nostr ID), use nostrcheck.me or similar, some relays filter out those without one 2. Follow topics using hastags, a good way to find your tribe 3. Choose a Nostr Client that respects your privacy, I suggest "Amethyst" for Android, "Damus" for iOS, "noStrudel" for web Browsers, browse around, find yours. 4. Protect your private key, don't share it or use it directly, instead use a signer like "Amber" for mobiles or an extension like nos2x-fox for browsers 5. if you haven't set up a wallet for zaps yet, there are many options, Minibits, Wallet of Satoshi or my favorite npub.cash (all three allows you get a vanity address), or macadamia.cash native to iOS 6. You can get your own blog site or magazine with Nostr, Check my nostr site, rod.npub.pro , you can get your own site for free as well, give it a try, start writing! visit npub . pro 7. Check my substack, if you want, subscribe to my free content, rodsx.substack.com Enjoy Nostr!

Same issue, haven't change, doesn't find the new users I created, if found, messages won't arrive, which surprises me since it works well in 0xChat, you clearly don't have that problem which is confusing for me...

curiosily, XChat, which is a pure messenger app from 0xchat does not work properly neither, much better though, Amber support, bunker support, notifications built in, missing voice and TOR, but excellent progress

Anyone testing White Noise messenger without issues? Just now read messages that is fast and reliable... And I wonder What am I doing different? My experience: It does not work properly, rarely messages are received. Created two new testing profiles in two different mobiles (no Amber support, thus, not signing with my nsec). Using a known client, added as mutual contact both profiles, updated both profiles with NIP-05. Updated the relays in both profiles with an optimal setup, making sure I am including relays that supports NIP-EE Installed White Noise and added the testing profile in both devices. Open app, search contacts in my profile, find it, select it, often get message that the other contact is not in White Noise! errr okay that is crazy, check relays, all are green but one orange with 3/4 of the pie filled... Try again, pass, I write messages again and again nothing is received ever, hmm Try the other way around, same result... Is anyone having a flawless good experience? #askNostr
