So many people marching in Brussels for Palestine 🇵🇸 This has a feeling of the marches against the war in Iraq in 2003 back when Colin Powell shared fabricated lies about their weapons of mass destruction program. Like the US then, Israel is the wrong side of history. Fellow Israeli friends, you are smart educated people. Dare to speak up against your own government. You deserve better.

We are going back to family businesses. Except this time, you get to choose your family.

Heroku is down for more than 12 hours. With that, I moved openletter.earth (a side project that people keep on using) to its own instance on Hetzner. Next step: move it to a Nostr backend to remove the need for a central server altogether.

How do we make putting your money in the commons more attractive than putting your money into a Porsche?

Prompt engineering is just the starting point. To iterate, you need boundaries engineering. Set the validation rules, let AI agents do the rest. 🤖

What if AI could allow us to go back offline? Go back to IRL experiences? We developed the keyboard, the mouse, the touchscreen as a way to communicate our intent to the computer. Do we still need them now that AI can understand what we say, write, draw? Using AI to build new software feels like the horseless carriage. We forgot that the best interface is the one that disappears. Let’s free people from having to interact with a touch screen. Sometimes, it’s better to interact with paper, post-its and other physical objects. Then capture that with a camera and use AI to record it and make sense of it.

Another city. Another forest. Same weekly regen walk. Gm Bois de Lauzelle in Louvain-La-Neuve.

Nostr needs to embrace web3. I love bitcoin, but we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we are going to ignore what’s happening on the other side. We need to embrace stablecoins. People should be able to tip using USDC like on farcaster (or better, using whatever community token they like).

Another great regen walk. With a unique encounter 🐍 #regenwalk

If you invite me to an event that is not reachable by train from Brussels, my new default answer is “sorry, that’s out of my carbon budget”.

Is Swarm App finally giving up? (I’ve been using this app (formerly known as Foursquare) for 15 years! Best way to journal places I go to. When a Nostr version?
