Legendary team 🔥
The @EFDevcon Volunteer Leads are in the house! 🏡
We spent the day syncing, sharing context, and exchanging experiences. It was inspiring to see knowledge flow from our OG leads to the newest generation of local superstars.
Tomorrow, we move as one for our Volunteer Training Day. The team is converging, and the energy is building as Ethereans arrive from all corners of the globe and, most importantly, from every part of India. 🇮🇳
Let's do this!

It’s literally a “might as well” feature to Apple.
They upgraded to OLED panels, might as well add touch too. Costs them a couple bucks and *some* users might enjoy it, for the others it doesn’t matter at all. So why not?
ok the window being a portal into the game world is smooth af
Full Mario 64 in Mixed Reality! Running in real 3D (no stereoscopic crap) natively at 90FPS and also running on my desk! 😋
Again, Opus 5.5 + PICO CLI combo made it quite straightforward.
Such a bliss to play an oldie at 90 FPS in 3D.
Disclaimer: I own an original physical copy of Mario 64. This project is not associated with Nintendo or PICO.

Was planning to play WoW Forever on NA servers to check out some of the streamer shenanigans but as it turns out WoW is still region locked, I can't play NA with my EU account…
To make it work I would need to fully switch my battlenet account region (using a VPN), buy the game again and create an NA game account, get a separate subscription and only then I could play… Blizz pls 😑
Won't be able to make WoW Forever launch because travels :(
But I have an Invite-A-Friend code to give away for someone who wants to no-life launch week completely for free 👀 Any frens want it?
Me: We can optimize so much stuff!! Claude let’s add all this custom functionality it will be so cool
Also me (a week later): oof I’m pretty sure all of this will explode during prime time and all hell will break loose. Claude please revert to native behavior 🙃

The most difficult part of this entire struggle is trying to convey information about a deeply technical debate to non-technical people. Statuette is undoubtedly one of the best at succeeding in conveying this.
Yesterday, the network state team published an update to snapchain, which took effect two hours after release. This broke replication to any peer who did not upgrade.
When I worked for merkle, we had a process for releases, so that non-emergency (which this was) updates gave node runners an entire month to upgrade. When neynar took over, with no announcement to change in process, they shortened it to a week window. And apparently, as of yesterday, it has been shortened further to two hours.
This is fine when you're rolling out code to your own fleet. You control it! But when you roll it out, with no announcement, to a p2p network, you're telling people that their nodes don't matter. And that message is true anyway, because any node that isn't theirs is actually read only. When you hear someone posting messages to a snapchain node they own, it doesn't actually participate in any meaningful way – read only nodes simply forward on the message to the NS-controlled validators.
Hypersnap will change this in the next release for our side of the fork – we will resume a more reasonable upgrade cadence, and we will cut ties with their validator set so that any node can actually participate in building data on the network. We aren't surprised to see what happened with the new (sort of) snapchain team, and our bar is so low for disappointment with their team that this is essentially a non-event. They embody neither the ideals of decentralization, nor the technical skills to achieve it.
GM! Today on @farcaster_xyz Resistance HQ Diaries:
Staryear 2026 | Day 9 of the Resistance
Our new overlords assured us we are absolutely FREE to leave once they execute the cockroaches infesting their APIs. I fully support this. Those bad roaches kept telling us to bend the knee!
However, today we found out sleeping is not compatible with freedom... Who knew? 🤷♀️
This morning, my fellow peasants and I were trying to find out whether the cockroaches had been taken care of. To our surprise, we found several farcaster clients frozen in time!
One GitHub archaeological expedition later, we discovered a sneaky chain upgrade whose final activation schedule was merged barely two hours before it took effect!
Perhaps digital felons aren’t on the mailing list but we feel grateful for the warning hidden inside the PS about the nodes that would stop working.
So it turns out, decentralization means spending your Saturday morning figuring out what our new overlords changed while we were asleep.
We’re still investigating the frozen clients and those “bend the knee” errors. But overall, the decentralized democracy experience is going beautifully. My casts eventually escaped through one client and appeared in another. We are now communicating with our homes via digital carrier pigeons. 🙏

Talking about WotLK's Zombie Infestation event if you're wondering worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com…
Apple’s Spatial Audio with head tracking is actually legit. First time I try a gimmick like that and it actually feels immersive (only recently got AirPods 😛)
Any other implementation and headphones I tried just sounded worse and didn’t add anything but here it actually feels like you’re standing in front of a speaker. Sure, the bass sounds more muddy, but most sound systems sound like that anyway so it only adds to the immersion.
First few minutes after turning it on it’s still weird but once you get used to it, it just sounds natural, especially when dancing around or bobbing your head 💃 And when you turn it off again it feels like something is missing, well literally you’re turning off a whole dimension of sound. Give it a try!
