This type 1m by ressence could be a banging nouns watch imo

are you putting your utensils together in the dishwasher anon

@brileigh and I had a near-death experience today. 0/10, would not recommend.

hug the ones you love, take no day for granted 💜

Observation: often when I'm short on time/attention but want to read Farcaster, I don't even scroll my home feed at all. 

I just visit profiles of voices I trust the most and check their 'casts+replies' and/or 'likes' tabs for quick pointers to quality threads.

I've been doing this a long time.

Channel owners, fyi, there will not be an expiration for the moment ✨ 😌 

The team will assess channel renewal in the future

now is the time to be building channel durability

Farcaster is building the infra for the eventual indie hacker breakthrough app

Screens

Whenever I get a new computer, I treat it like a pristine temple... only downloading the highest quality apps, clearing the downloads folder, following an immaculate directory system, etc.

Within two weeks, it degrades into one of those chaotic monkey temples

always clean install babes. strive for the unreachable

You need to be nichemaxxing

Stop posting tired bland takes filled with general platitudes. If I read one more Stanford grad blog post about how to be successful I’ll blow my brains out

Just talk about your actual interests. Don’t try to educate the reader, assume they are just as deep as you are. Jump straight to specific references. Write for an audience of one

We need 100-1000x more posts in channels like @matthewb hifi post before you can consider channels to be something like reddit.

Music

by popular request (okay just @ted and @nicholas) here is an overview of our hi-fi setup:

* but first, why?
listening to music can be either a passive activity, like background music while cooking or commuting, or an activity that demands your full attention. if the latter, then the quality of your experience is shaped by the ability of your system to reproduce music. this means everything from source (streaming, CD, vinyl, reel-to-reel tape) → amplification → volume control (preamp) → speakers and all of the cables in between.

maybe this all sounds dumb (who cares about cables???) but until you have a once-in-a-lifetime experience listening to a really great system, you won't know what you're missing from your favourite music. not just technical qualities like detail or extension, but emotion, texture, and meaning. hi-fi is a great real-world example of plato's cave, because once you've heard what you're missing... you can't unhear it.

Update on channels

1. It's not a top priority right now

2. Channels are not expiring; if we end up moving forward with an expiration, we will give advanced notice; consider it an indefinite grace period

3. When it becomes a priority, we will resolve abandoned and squatted channels as part of the expiration; we will likely decentralize channel creation at that point — however, only when a top priority

4. What's higher priority than channels?

a. Continue to improve frames UX, especially with regard to onchain interactions

b. Improve discovery across Farcaster for anyone building / creating something onchain

c. Snapchain — need to scale the underlying protocol

d. Cheaper sign ups — top request from several existing apps with large user bases considering integrating with Farcaster

e. Migrating Sign in with Farcaster to Farcaster Connect (see FIP) to allow other clients to provide auth for apps / frames

f. Rewards and onboarding improvements around invites

> Improve discovery across Farcaster for anyone building / creating something onchain

anyone building onchain should have a space where those interested in their work can have discourse. the proto ought to be the best place for that discourse

we just minted channel membership for /farcasterunion and you should too babe

Bluesky has an inspiring vision that makes people of all backgrounds want to join. 

What is Farcaster’s?

if we’re thinking about why we build on the proto

The markets are simply testing are you really here for the long haul and do you believe in something.
