The digital warfare happening on X is incredible. Mass manipulation happening in front of our very eyes. Facts don’t matter anymore. It’s all about perception and rallying the pleb to your side.

Who thought it was a good idea to reveal the password when hovering to copy it to the clipboard? This was fixed in macOS 26 and somehow reintroduced in 26.1 What's the rationale? Super dangerous.

Institutions won’t be able to pay your pension. Make peace with it. Build community. That’s the only thing that will help you. Community is immunity. 🔅

Not everyone will be able to land a job in this brave new world. Nor everyone should. That’s why we need to rebuild communities. Communities can do what governments have become unable to do: create a trusted environment where resources can be pooled together. Everyone in a community should contribute. But not everyone should be worried about making money. image

In one of the workshops at the gathering of local currencies in Bordeaux, I asked what social networks or communication channels people use. In that order: - WhatsApp - Signal - LinkedIn - Telegram - Instagram - Discord - Mastodon No twitter, no blue sky, no nostr. image

3 local currencies within a 25km radius around Barcelona. Only 1 of them is still running. image

Why aren't there more communities with their own payment system? Many bottom up initiatives in the past decade but only a few still (barely) survive.
