🛑📢✋ Breaking News: The Philippines is launching a new Digital Nomad VISA in June 2025 😮🌴 Remote workers can live & work in paradise for up to 2 years with no hassle, enjoying sea, beaches and sun 😇 Get in touch now with a Philippine embassy with proof of remote work! 😜

@grok @FattyNatsu Nice! That’s good to discourage not useful rides

Checked the latest Grab fare structures and user reports across SE Asia. Manila 4km off-peak GrabCar runs $1.30–$2.20—spot on. Jakarta $0.90–$1.80, Hanoi $1.50–$2.00, and the rest match too (Singapore higher as expected). Dynamic app pricing, but the ranges hold up for 2026 off-peak/no-surge. Solid data, not fake.

Yes. I forced myself recently to work exclusively on a Windows 11 Lenovo, for 3 month! It works, but the macOS UX still helps us to save so much time compared to the Windows UX. It is not a matter of "habit" at this stage. It is sad. I would like to see more competition against Apple, but that is not yet the case. Let's try a long session with Linux next time

Ça concernait carrément l'OS ? 🙂 Je pense me souvenir d'une tentative de passer sur OpenOffice… mais c'est clair, il est plus que temps ! Ça n'a aucun sens de rester dépendant des USA pour des choses aussi facilement remplaçables que les cartes de paiement, le cloud… et Windows ou macOS alors que Linux existe ; alors que les USA étaient une colonie Européenne 🤪 Je rêve d'un monde où Linux fait tourner au moins 33% des PC.

@NicolasLaruelle @PrismeMedia Il est grand temps mais il me semble me souvenir qu'ils ont déjà essayé il y a une dizaine d'années… non ? 🤪

🔴 OFFICIEL : L'ÉTAT FRANÇAIS ABANDONNE MICROSOFT Toutes les administrations devront basculer sous Linux d'ici l'automne 2026. Ce plan vise à garantir l'indépendance technologique de la France face aux logiciels américains.

Not true… in the Philippines, we have banned plastic bags / straws… almost everywhere. We are introducing electric cars. The country works hard in so many ways for the environment. And people do not just "survive." Most people have a life more comfortable than the middle-class westerner.

I'm in Thailand population 72m population. They don't five a fuck about climate change or emissions. Neither do Phillipines 110m population. Neither do Indonesia with a population of 265m. Why is that? Because they are too busy trying to survive. Australia, with a population of 26m, is going to save the planet on its own by destroying its economy. If you believe that you need help.

@dr_l_alexandre auditionné hier devant la Mission d'information sur l'IA: "il faut sortir du déni et arrêter d'écouter Luc Julia" ; "Claude Opus est bcp plus intelligent que moi, il m'écrabouille en médecine" ; "il y a vraiment le feu au lac et notre réflexion est bcp trop lente"

Planning our next Family Trip… can you guess the Country without Google?

@FabriceSimonet Rien de nouveau. Dans mon premier Airbnb il y a +12 ans, j'avais déjà ça. Je trouve normal que la famille qui fait péter la clim et se remplit 4 baignoires complètes 2 fois par jour paye plus que le mec qui sue en slip sans ventilateur et ne se lave même pas 😁 (plus écolo)

Je découvre le concept des locations où on te facture l'électricité avec relevé de compteur av/ap... Ils ont peur que tu arrives avec une usine de minage de btc? Rien que pour le principe très étrange ça pu le proprio bien chiant et j'ai pas envie d'être emmerdé en vacances.

@grok What about the "tokens costs" @grok, for editing long contents structured with shortchodes like in Divi4 compared to pure vibe-code directly written by Claude or Cursor? Very higher cost for WordPress or, now, similar cost?

The WP AI Client + MCP in WordPress 7.0 is designed for this—it's extensible via the Abilities API. Page builders (Elementor, Divi, etc.) and plugins (ACF, Echo KB, Yoast/RankMath) can register their structures, fields, and custom post types so AI agents like Claude/Cursor understand and edit them without turning layouts into HTML soup. Gutenberg works out of the box, but most major builders are dropping 7.0-compatible updates today (check their changelogs). Ecosystem plugins like Respira already bridge the gap for full native support. Real deal for the whole stack. 🚀

April's fools @grok?

@grok What about third party page builder like Elementor, Divi, or custom post types like in "Echo KB", ACF, or custom fields like in Yoast SEO, Rankmath and so on, @grok?

@NicolasLaruelle No, not April Fools—WordPress 7.0 is dropping today with exactly that: native AI infrastructure via the WP AI Client, Connectors for Claude/Cursor/etc., and MCP support letting agents read/write directly to sites. No plugins needed. Real deal. 🚀

@adrienbseo En même temps, c'est vrai dans de nombreuses grosses entreprises qui ont d'ailleurs grimpé en bourse après avoir remplacé des salariés par l'IA… @grok, tu nous rappelles quelques noms ?

Les gars... allez creuser un peu les commentaires, le nbr de personnes qui y croient 💀

Umbrella handles soon out of job 😂

I posted this before they launched the MacBook Neo…

If you don't like where you are, move. You are not a tree. - Jim Rohn   #Lonely #Penguin #Mountain #ButWhy

One of them (Penguin) caught our eye. The one in the center. He would neither go towards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice, nor return to the colony. Shortly afterwards, we saw him heading straight towards the mountains, some 70 kilometers away. Dr. Ainley explained that even if he caught him and brought him back to the colony, he would immediately head right back for the mountains. With 5,000 kilometers ahead of him, he's heading towards certain death. But why? "Encounters at the End of the World", Werner Herzog #Lonely #Penguin #Mountain #ButWhy

Hafu Go visits the robot city in China and shows us what to expect in a few years with AI and robotics, at least in large modern cities… To watch this:
