This message spread like wildfire around lunch today in WhatsApp groups in Malawi Kidnappings unfortunately did happen in last few years so it's not unrealistic (1/3)

10 minutes later the confirmation came that she was NOT kidnapped, but her deputy was beaten People relieved, but still believed it was a kidnapping attempt

An hour later an official statement by the police: Two things change the perspective: 1) it's now classified as a Road Traffic Accident 2) It happened at a petrol station Probable scenario: Egyptian diplomat feels like she's entitled to cut the queue while people wait hours to fill petrol Fed-up people in the queue don't share that feeling And they make that feeling very clear to her

I’ve been reviewing my tech for last hours after all these cyber sec messages
2 hours later: Coolify is officially gone across all 3 of my servers 💀 Replaced both self-hosted Coolify + Coolify Cloud with a 0-dependency control plane inside my analytics app: - 28 apps & 633 AES-256-GCM encrypted env vars migrated - GitHub App push webhooks → BuildKit build → zero-downtime swap - 17 Postgres DBs streaming nightly backups to Cloudflare R2 (curl --aws-sigv4) - 4 MCP tools (deploy_app, app_envs, backups_crons, list_apps) - 0 SSH keys stored in the web app (each server pulls jobs over HTTPS) - Deleted 4 containers (coolify, coolify-db, coolify-redis, sentinel) and revoked every third-party SSH key 150,000 lines of PHP replaced by ~900 lines of Bun + Python stdlib

Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance

I love building products None of my products actually sold I built them mostly for myself, and nobody ever paid for them (harsh truth) For the love of building products, vibe-coding is amazing, I can build a ton of products all at the same time I build an e-commerce store with my own t-shirt designs, a flight simulator, and a bunch of other things But for the sake of identity, it's quite harsh My income now comes from tech freelancing I want at least part of it to come from building products I think AI will INCREASE the demand for tech skills and engineering 10X, maybe 100X And I believe I'm in a good spot to surf that wave But I can't identify the wave yet, I don't know where to position myself, which direction to take And so I'm treading water, sitting on my surf board, looking at the horizon, deciding what my next action should be

Caros compatriotas, Estamos em Moscovo, a convite do Presidente da Federação da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, para participar na 3.ª Cimeira Rússia–África. Esta presença reflecte a importância que atribuímos ao diálogo, à cooperação e ao fortalecimento das relações entre Moçambique, a Federação da Rússia e os países africanos. À margem desta agenda, participámos hoje na 8.ª Cimeira do Fórum dos Países Exportadores de Gás, onde defendemos que os recursos energéticos devem gerar desenvolvimento para os nossos povos e fortalecer a cooperação entre as nações. #Vamostrabalhar

Disagree, with governments everywhere looking for more money, Bitcoin will remain a difficult to control store of value
A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started. Give me three minutes to explain why you should dump it now. Outflows from ETFs are signal and will continue. We will test the 57k low again in the next 12 months. Why? Because there are far too many dynamic places to put your money that are creating MUCH more value. Why put your resources into a dead network that offers nothing beyond a store of value? What's the point of place the BTC be if Bitcoin's Ponzi-scheme nature has gone away!?! The viral nature of bitcoin was it's power... if you didn't own you were MOCKED! Now? Completely reasonable, heck, SMARTER, to ignore bitcoin and place other bets! No one is trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin anymore... the memes and NFTs are gone. No one is saying $ BTC can change the world, because it won't — and BECAUSE AI HAS! Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence because one provides little to no value, and the other provides unlimited upside for humanity. This should be obvious to everyone right now. Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.

I notice I'm reading less Talking to Claude instead in my bed
We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

what it doesn't say: by 2035 this really isn't anything newsworthy it will be reversed 10 times by then
JUST IN: Dutch government announces plans to eliminate 25,000 civil service jobs as it expands AI to replace administrative work.

"Positive energy by the gigawatt" 😂 I'm happy to be of service. We need more positivity in tech, and I'm atoning for my own history of providing too much of the opposite. Computers are amazing. AI is amazing. LIFE IS AMAZING!

Energizer bunny! Your effectiveness as an ambassador and communicator is off the charts. You are truly an extraordinary high functioning human being. You emit positive energy by the gigawatt.

I'm doing the same with my house 🤩

Why does the fuel guy takes from 8am till 4am to fuel the car you might wonder This is the petrol queue in Lilongwe, Malawi
Fuel guy came to pick up the car Sunday at 8am Spend the whole day and night in the queue He came back with a filled car this Monday morning 4am Sleepless night for him and me On top the mirror electronics broke - maybe hit by another vehicle in the queue So now I’m learning about disconnecting car electronics How’s your Monday morning going? #lifeinmalawi

It seems @Airbnb just made things worse for everybody Instead of fixing the review mess, weeding out bad hosts (and bad guests), they're now alienating hosts and guests, by putting out a blanket ban on a subset of frustrations Instead of solving the underlying issues They are making it worse, not better
One thing I’ve learned today is that a LOT of Airbnb hosts haven’t realized they’re actually in the hospitality industry, not the real estate industry.

Here’s a perfect example nitter.cf/MonetaryMettle/status/…
As a successful Airbnb owner, here's the biggest thing that people don't understand about the cleaning fee: Its primary purpose is to make short (one night) stays more expensive. It's the only way to achieve that pricing result. Two night minimums hurt business.

From what I've seen in last 3 months, this could be Malawi if they would want it: - Developing country with lots of potential - Lots of space for offices and housing - Nice weather - Center of the continent of opportunity - Cheap labor - ...
