The most striking thing about third-world countries, including Brazil, is how myopic people are when it comes to second- and third-order effects (with the exception of politicians, who understand this very well and often use it to their advantage).
Recently, our Supreme Court (our non-elected kings) ruled that women who suffer domestic violence have the right to receive 15 days of paid leave from work if they need time to recover.
Immediate effect: 15 days of leave paid by their employers.
Second-order effect: Hiring women may become associated with potentially higher costs.
Third-order effect: Fewer job opportunities for women, reduced financial independence, and increased vulnerability to domestic violence.

Einstein wrote in his diary about his brief visit to Brazil in 1925. He said that the temperature and weather there didn’t allow for any serious intellectual work and that most of the people he met were basically monkeys

My wildest dream today is to have a clear path to building a Nostr related gig that generates $2,500 USD per month (the government will take a third of it). That would be enough to quit my job.
I have a couple of vacation days, and I'm going to give 100% of my time to Ghostr over the next 10 days. I need a path. Let's roll the dice and see if the universe conspires in my favor.

2025-02-20 16:57:43 CET

The last couple of months, I have been struggling with my mental health. So much has been going on. My fiat job has become unbearable for me—it doesn't fulfill my life's purpose. My financial situation is also not good, and my physical health has become a reflection of this unhappiness.
Brazilian politics also play a role. There is no clear path forward for the country. We live under a de facto judicial dictatorship. I have dual Brazilian and EU citizenship, but I never really thought about using it. Maybe this is the time? I don't know.

2025-02-04 14:23:54 CET

Having to code for my fiat job instead of Nostr is killing me. I have so many ideas in so many different areas. For almost two years, I avoided diving into Nostr details because I knew that once I started to grasp some of the specifications, my autistic mind would get hooked. Well, it happened—and now I'm screwed.

I don't disagree with your sentiment. But before that, I want to live in a place where every conviction made by the State is truly fair and trustworthy—definitely not in Brazil. Here, the justice system bends as much as necessary for certain people, while for others, it is extremely unfair. There are many examples of mothers who have falsely accused their partners of abusing their children. Some of these men are raped or killed in prison by other inmates, yet it is not uncommon for the allegations to later be proven false—or for the mothers to confess that they lied out of anger.

The beautiful thing about Nostr is that even when clients compete with each other, as long as each one brings in new users, everyone wins. And if someone is doing a better job than you in a certain area, you can focus more on the features that set you apart.
Peter Thiel says competition is for losers. Naval talks about escaping competition through authenticity. I tend to agree with both.

My vision for Ghostr is ambitious—very ambitious. Right now, the first version is just a clunky, amateur TikTok clone, but that’s a start. If I have the time and the health to see it through, Ghostr will evolve into a space that explores certain forms of social interaction—ones that have existed for as long as humans have but are becoming increasingly rare.
As our lives and consciousness move deeper into cyberspace, and even our physical spaces are constantly recorded, something is being lost.
I love the internet. It has slashed the cost of information distribution by orders of magnitude. But in a hyperconnected world with an unforgiving memory—where everything is recorded—society begins to expect you to act inhumanly.

sorry, I didn't express myself well. Egui have lots of dependencies on single devs -- not a specific a one. There is no huge money flow making things work as Google did with Flutter. But when the ecosystem matures a little more and the risk deescalate, I probably would shift for egui

2025-01-31 15:50:55 CET

- reply

Remember when I talked to you, Will, about egui? After learning a bit more, I had the same impression you just mentioned. Egui is amazing, but I noticed that many essential engineering components depend on a single anonymous developer. That is a huge risk. So I went Flutter+Rust+C

Time to build Ghostr for Android (our TikTok-like app on Nostr). I'm not proud of this version yet. Many many things to do, but it was honest work. Never shipped a mobile app before, so I learned a ton.
It is already the best video consumer app for Nostr imo. It loads stuff fast. Data plan killer, as a you would expect for TikTok-like app. Working on profiles & search next, but also fixing bugs.
