When you look at btcmap.org, it seems very empty for Singapore… And yet!
I attended a Bitcoin run last night.
25min run around Fort Canning in the evening heat, followed by a food court meal and a good chat.

I don't care about liquid glass.
I just want to be able to manage several desktops, with distinct windows on each one of them, so that I can structure my work. Also I want the ability to give a name to each desktop (e.g. browsing, work, ai chats, ...)
Just like with Unix Solaris in the 1990's.

Visited @Tokyo Bitcoin Base for the 2nd time this year.
Thanks @seiitiarata for taking me around.
Now you can find a shop selling T-shirts, coffee mugs and hardware wallets.
I've just started a new Umbrel node (the actual box). The experience is incredibly slick compared to manually installing on my own hardware.

The French parliament is seriously discussing mining off nuclear. Not only that but also grid stabilisation and heat reuse.

Quiz: why is John Wick still alive in Ballerina?
🇯🇵 When the Japanese borrows an English word, they use a specific alphabet dedicated to foreign words and keep the pronunciation as English as possible.
🇫🇷 When the French borrows a word from English, they keep the spelling unchanged but alter the pronunciation so that it sounds as French as possible.
This is French television and you would not have someone who says “we should separate money and state” speak for 30 minutes unless their daughter was almost kidnapped.
You can tell the journalists/commentators are in a state of panic, just like in ‘Atlas Shrugged’ whenever one of the Washington policy makers talk to industrialist Hank Rearden.
