I've been going back to iTunes from Spotify after many years because now you can run agents across your library and clean it up or act like a DJ with platform independence.

El Salvador Bitcoiners 🇸🇻
I’ll be traveling to El Zonte and San Salvador around August 18th to 23rd and would love to meet people who are building, teaching or simply using Bitcoin.
I’d be glad to contribute through my background in graphic design where useful. Mostly, I’m coming to listen, learn, and make genuine connections.
If you know someone I should meet, please tag them, boosts are appreciated.
I’m confused watching the latest interviews with @Jeff Booth . The old background setup with the guitars has returned.
At first I thought these were re-uploads but you’re discussing recent events.
Have you moved back to Canada?
It's an AI festival today. Grok 4.5, Sol 5.6 and The Zuck with "Muse 1.1".
Enough to explore when Fable disappears.
@Jeff Booth how was BTC Prague for you? I remember you said you had some reservations toward other BTC venues.
I'm probably working on a massive failing project atm but im going to continue anyways because i have to get those out of the way to get to the right ones.
Trying to see if building a dashboard that gathers all your daily notifications in one place is a viable option.
- Not every platform or website has an OAuth / API / webhook integration.
- Need to avoid security issues
- Will it actually save time?
Working on a new project with Bitcoin as the center of gravity and fiat revolving around it.
Saudi and UAE designed new symbols for their currencies last year but I'm wondering why? Fiat is a lost cause guys.
My V4V project Ditto suddenly went from 330 users to 830 users in one day. No idea what happened but it's getting traction.

I've been releasing more and more prints on the Breen webshop so visitors can actually buy them.
On the to do list is Bitcoin payments, hopefully this year.
Added some stars to the Star Wars poster. Creates depth and it's fitting.
Working on the World Cup poster with FIFA songs in the background. I made a grid of 211 circles so i can fit each national team in there. Now I have to arrange them on tone of color.
I have a lot of respect for people who went to prison. It’s life experience. Not a lot of people can say that.
Working on a Seinfeld print today. Nine seasons, eight logos. Not too big, thick cardboard will look nice.
Reading The Grip of Death by Michael Rowbotham is blowing my mind 🤯 Very similar thesis to @Jeff Booth while written in 1998.
An excerpt:
"The final ingredient in forced economic growth is wage dependence. Again, the debt-based financial system is entirely responsible for causing mayhem and misery. The general reliance on work to provide incomes presents the economy with a problem and a paradox; and these have become increasingly apparent during this century. The problem is unemployment; and the paradox is that unemployment is not, or rather should not be, a problem at all.
In the modern world, technological progress constantly creates unemployment. People are forever losing their jobs and suffering a catastrophic loss of personal income simply because the modern world has developed such astonishing and increasingly productive capability. In this sense, unemployment is simply leisure that has been concentrated and imposed on individuals; leisure that has been inequitably distributed; a sign of economic advance that has manifested itself as a social disease."
Opus 4.7 is good when coding. Terrible when used as a sparring partner: elaborate answers, too moralistic and drawing conclusions too fast.
