Just ran across this: mushroom slime removed ~98% of microplastics in water in this study! Dang, that's pretty insane. As always, nature is the most based of all. https://phys.org/news/2026-04-mushroom-slime-microplastics.html

Customised my #keyboard + dongle firmwares recently and flash'em on my keyboard pieces! Display on the dongle now shows WPM in real-time and other neat stuff. Running ZMK + Prospector dongle firmware code. This status screen is called Operator (first image). I haven't been tracking my WPM until now, but apparently I am regularly hitting 130-150 WPM... sheesh. I love open source & standards because it allows for customization and choice, where vendors prefer lock-in and lack choice. I've been using this keyboard for maybe 10y, got it repaired, upgraded and retrofitted recently, and it's still kickin'. Gone from wired to now wireless, and has some of the softest switches around for RSI/carpal tunnel syndrome (kailh speed coppers). My friend helped me 3D print the custom casings and build it for me (cats and soldering irons don't go well together). Plan to use this for another 10y or more, and keep repairing/retrofit upgrading as needed. U can just build tingz. #foss

# "How Social Media Feminised Us All - It turned us into teenage girls" Food for thought... ran across this article and I have to say, it doesn't feel far off. Many social platforms/algos promote behaviours discussed in this article. > Mary Harrington puts this best, arguing that social media is “structurally feminine”, the technology itself feminising. That is to say, more often than not, these apps bring out stereotypically feminine traits in their users, no matter their sex, age, or politics. > Wokeness, for example, is described by Andrews as “feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions”.

How Social Media Feminised Us All

It turned us into teenage girls

#Privacy pilled. 😹 💊 (they're actually flu pills but I found it hilarious)

News from Hungary in the past 24h is all very interesting... :catHuh: Having fun with my private #OSINT project, visor.

Whoa! No way! Right Said Fred has just joined #nostr! View quoted note →

Updated visor, my personal #OSINT engine with improved geo-tags and context tags, connect intelligence across locations (lines on map), improved clustering, tons more cities/bodies of water/landmarks/etc, and more! I'm going to be adding more intelligence sources to it too, whenever I have more time. It's getting highly based. I'm not even checking news anywhere else anymore. You can just build your own tingz.

And yes, it can read nutritional info, labels, and all that too! So where you have specific details, it'll use that. Where it doesn't, it'll do the best it can without it (confidence score reflects guesses). Useful if you have an individualized diet/plan from a nutritionist, or want something a bit more customized to your requirements. Factor in what's important to you, not some generic thing. Something like this is so easy to build for yourself with all the AI tooling now available. Multimodal models that support image recognition are great for this. #foodstr View quoted note →

I've been granted access to use zai's brand new glm-5v-turbo multimodal model and I immediately plugged it into my bespoke food analysis system with my openclaw setup. Big step up from GLM-4.5V and GLM-4.6V! #foodstr

You can just build your own tingz. I built my own #OSINT tool called VISOR. It polls over 80 sources (and growing) for news, categorizes, tags, geo-locates, and displays them on a map or feed view (also accessible via API for my agents like openclaw). The website renders for desktop, tablet, or mobile so I check it whether at home or out and about. I use a local LLM on the server to help with understanding geo-context, criticality, dynamic tags, and more. It's currently private. Maybe one day I'll make it publicly accessible, but for now I'm just happy with using an OSINT tool built for me.

Boy, couldn't see that one coming... :MEOWDY:

🚨 NOW: Crypto trader James Wynn has been liquidated shorting Bitcoin on Hyperliquid, wiping his account from $100M down to just $900, per Arkham.

Scientists Gene Hacked a Plant So It Grows Five Types of Psychoactive Drugs at Once

Researchers have created super tobacco plants that can produce five natural psychedelics all at once, and make for one mind-bending trip.

Very, very cool! I've got to dig into this when I have a bit of spare time. I think P2P GPU compute organised over #nostr is an amazing idea. View quoted note →

Rocking my #Bitcoin hoodie today and thinking about wholecoiners... Latest data from Glassnode (March 2026) says 988,000 addresses hold 1 #BTC or more. Of course with segwit, multi-wallet usage, exchange custody pools, lost wallets, the number of actual individuals goes down. Let's say we're now down to 600-700K individuals who are wholecoiners. Wholecoiners are: - ~0.6% of all bitcoin owners. - ~0.008% of the human population: 1 out of every 12,300 people on Earth. - ~85x rarer than millionaires. The number keeps falling every cycle, not increasing: as scarcity in mining, lost coins, institutional custody take over. Wholecoiners are one of the most exclusive clubs on earth and gets more and more rare over time. Really makes you think about the economics of scarcity! :CatNerd:

Shipping fast these days... interesting to see them rip out the C tor implementation and put in a rust one. View quoted note →

Thankfully the fake Wisp publisher doesn't seem to have malicious intent, and was done moreso by accident than on purpose. However this does kick up a whole bunch of questions for @Zapstore: - Shouldn't there be some kind of manual approval when app names collide with pre-existing ones? - How can you let a different publisher publish an app with the same ID `com.wisp.app` as a pre-existing, trusted package from the original dev @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 ? - There are literally zero flags/alerts/warnings on the interface when browsing this duplicate app. Another example is Cake Wallet @Cake Wallet, for the past few versions Google has flagged this as a malicious app (it wasn't the case before), so I have avoided upgrading, even though I originally installed the zapstore version. If it's not fixed soon I will have to uninstall then re-install via Play or another market (annoying as then a full re-sync is required). To date I have enjoyed using zapstore, but I feel like this is a great lesson learned to tighten up some of the security measures so we maintain high trust in what is published there.
