What @freemix.fm is doing is so ambitious, well executed from the jump, and just so freaking *cool*. They created an entire music platform with a built-in sharing and licensing system, all on atproto. You gotta see it.

‘You nearly got me say ‘billionaires’… haha… No. Immigrants.’

Beautiful visuals. And great article.

Lovely art 🇹🇭 “…the phrase "Ghost from the Past" does not refer to spirits or ghosts, but is a metaphor for memories, situations, or mistakes from the past that exist in the mind and affect current feelings. It is as if these memories haunt us, whether they are painful recollections or someone who…”

Yesterday’s #treeoftheday I hadn’t cycled here in at least 4 years or so. Still one of the nicer and longer stretches of canal path (just a bit far out and a bit of a difficult entrance/exit depending on the direction you’re taking).

Saw some nice sights during yesterday’s bicycle ride in (greater) Bangkok. Some roads were still a bit moist from the floods. I think I went through stretches like the one in the first pic more than 25 times. Deepest was knee deep.

I’ve seen this video more than a few times. But it never ceases to amuse, amaze and inspire.

Gone, but not forgotten.

happy sickos day to all who celebrate

ten years into "every Tesla will drive itself" and here we are

The intuition: models trained on different data seem to converge to a similar geometry (the Platonic Representation Hypothesis). Distances between concepts like food, people and animals look alike in both spaces. So is this shared geometry enough to align them?

Executive summary of social media, 2026

My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.

Kayaking - On the Mae Khlong river from Kanchanaburi to Samut Songkhram. (114 km) - a little girl (4yo) on a walk with her mom helped me assemble my kayak - rain & lightning, had to take shelter - a snake caught a little fish - night kayaking #Kayaking #MaeKhlong

#treeoftheday and roots of the day

Every day I am happy I don’t drink coffee. Wake up, drink glass of water. Done. I drink coffee once or twice a year to see if I still don’t like it and every time: “yeap, this is meh.” And also, it never gives me any energy boost or whatever hit it is people say they get.

Bangkok (And many others around the world)

Early October and we’re already going over 100 in many places in the city. (Not the first day this season that is meh. That was Sept 13th. But this one is worse) This might end up being a banger of a pollution season #pm2.5 #aqi

I was planning to go to sleep, but I do not regret reading this first.

You're never too old to get excited about seeing a really big tree.

The water level of the Chao Phraya was very close to flooding in Nonthaburi today

Seems just like Bangkok, where motonormativity is very much the modus operandi. #carsruincities

We're so excited to see the arrival of Aster ID as a home for researchers on the open web and to welcome them to the @modalfoundation.eurosky.social family. Very lucky that we've been able to support their tech stack at Eurosky 💖

This is the plot of The Old Man and the Sea

Last Sunday I rode my recumbent in three countries: The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. I crossed international borders 4 times, only twice marked by a sign, without carrying my passport. Europe isn't perfect; it needs work. But it's worth fighting for. I love Europe. #Europe #regel17 #cycling

From the comments: “We had every opportunity to create a awesome sci-fi future, but instead we got pervert glasses and snitch watches” And: “Apple used to believe that you should start with the user experience and work your way backward to the technology rather than starting with technology…” Ouch

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

I went into this summer as a photographer and came out of it as someone who has finally understood that the garden is not just a location, it's also a philosophy. The most powerful thing you can bring into the field isn't a better lens or a more dramatic location. It's a state of mind.

Ryan always manages to put me in a good mood.

"In practice, ask Siri AI a question and you’ll never really know if it’s being computed on device or off." Whatever goes to Apple (or any US service) cloud servers, is subject to U.S. CLOUD Act, in direct conflict with EU Data Act. Also why you should move to EU ATProto if you haven't already.

This video was filmed in Palestine. My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

Rain like fireworks

Yesterday’s bike ride was lovely. I didn’t take too many pics because it was raining the first half. This route is quickly becoming a new favorite.

Siri (or other voice assistants) is always the first thing I turn off when getting a new phone. And os integrated ai is now the second thing. Deep access to my stuff, nope.

No tolerance for intolerance. This is in the context of tech, but this sure applies to everything else as well.
