I am happy to announce that I will be speaking at @droidcon (@droidconBerlin) about the future of the drivers license. See you there? 👀⚡️ berlin.droidcon.com/rutger-roffel/

Hot take; Microsoft should merge MS Copilot and GH Copilot into one product.

@sabben Ik was een paar weken terug in Stockholm. Alles is daar tech en AI op dit moment. Het voelt er als de toekomst.

One city out raised VC funding an entire country. Stockholm 🇸🇪 2026 YTD: $2.64B The Netherlands 🇳🇱 2026 YTD: $2.31B Not the Nordics. Not Sweden. One city. Munich 🇩🇪 $2.18B alone is within $130M of the entire Dutch ecosystem. One city. The Netherlands doesn't have a talent problem. It has a capital and society mindset problem to support founders with big ambitions. Tomorrow more Q2/H1 2026 VC Quarterly Report data.

@levelsio @MacinCloud Next step:

🤯 And it worked! It made a basic iOS app in full Swift then made a screenshot and sent me a link to check it! It made it on my Hetzner VPS but then SSH'd into a @macincloud Mac Mini in a datacenter somewhere to then build an app with Xcode on there Very basic but a great start

🆘

@Sp4ghettiCode Looks nice but this side border screams AI.

Been experimenting with using Gemini via Antigravity to help improve the UI in a small Android app I have been building The results have been impressive! What do you think? #BuildWithGemini

Introducing Gemini 3.5 Flash Live Translate, our real time speech to speech translation model which supports more than 70 languages (both in and out), and is so natural. It is available in the Gemini API, AI Studio, & Google Translate right now + coming soon to Google Meet!!

lol, skill issue.

Gemini Omni doesn't just build scenes that look real, it reasons about what should happen next. It combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini's knowledge of history, science, and cultural context. Rolling out today starting with video outputs to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers globally through the @Geminiapp + Google Flow, and @YouTube Shorts this week.

Building a Spotify powered karaoke booth that’s due for a festival tomorrow. 🫠. Great timing.

@SpotifyStatus any update on the api's? Why is there no status page?

We’re aware of some issues right now with the app and are checking them out!

@jackfriks @marclou in the netherlands too

@marclou how does it compare to the waymo? wild in USA you can just buy FSD car and never have to drive manually really

First time driving a Tesla with FSD. It drove 50km and I didn’t touch the steering wheel (well the yoke). I went SF downtown, highway, small mountain roads… FSD did so well, I almost forgot I was the driver. Impressive AF.

Need to make an appointment because the @tesla makes some weird noises but it’s impossible because the iOS app crashes when uploading the video of said noise. Well played, $TSLA.

Looking for the best litellm open source / containerizable alternative

I’m done with conferences that charge attendees (high prices) but still expect speakers to cover their own travel and accommodation. What exactly are those ticket fees paying for? if not the people providing the value?

@levelsio Is that the portugese thuiskopieheffing?

/r/mildlyinteresting In Portugal you pay up to €7.50 when you buy a laptop called a "copyright levy" You pay €4/TB of storage in the computer, so for a MacBook Neo 13" with 512GB that's €2.05 It's regulation made in 1998 to compensate artists for you illegally sharing MP3 files which nowadays of course doesn't make sense anymore since we have Spotify and YouTube Much of the money doesn't even arrive with artists btw, 30% is taken by the organization collecting the tax and lot of it remains unclaimed and some of that goes again to the organization collecting the tax as "operational costs" 🤡

@jelmerdeboer meetings

Heeft iemand enig idee wat topfunctionarissen en topambtenaren doen? Is dit, net als """experts""" gewoon vage NOS-taal?

@luke_pighetti the real reason is more monetisation for longer videos

when did we normalize every youtube video being 30+ minutes long? i don't have enough time for this

@SEGVeenstra yeah lol, for a really old project i made an action that pushes to ftp 🥲

I never really got the hang of GitHub actions. I always ended up with tons of trial and error mistakes. Therefore I always used Codemagic for my pet projects. However, now with AI, GitHub actions have become much easier.

@janwilmake Didn’t find use for it yet but I am pretty sure it’s the future. cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

@Rudcher i don't know yet am not that familiar with AP2. have you worked with it?

Today I made a Demo of Stripe-Connect-backed p2p Payments This little app (p2p-stripe-connect.wilmake.com) allows for X Login and p2p payments between X users. It uses a global durable object with SQLite to facilitate transactions, and in essence is a ledger for Stripe Connect. It allows depositing money with stripe, sending to other users, even if they're not on the platform yet, and withdrawing money using Stripe Connect.The demo version (p2p-stripe-connect.wilmake.com) uses test api keys (A sandbox) so you can deposit money for free. github.com/janwilmake/p2p… A next step could be coming up with a simple MCP extension to add payments to MCP tools from other X users, then creating an MCP client that has this as the basis, so we can start building MCP servers that receive payments. Another next step could be to see if we can back the money deposited with USDC so payments can occur on a crypto platform (e.g. coinbase) such that we can use x402 as the payment protocol for MCP servers (see github.com/modelcontextpr…). The benefit of starting with stripe connect is that the user experience is very smooth; nobody needs to deposit crypto! As most internet users aren't cyrpto users, this is a big plus. Generally excited for paid MCP servers because it creates a new incentive for building actually good MCP servers besides just "look at us we have an MCP". Also, it reduces friction of MCP use because possibly we can just create MCP servers that only reuquire payment, but no identity. This creates a paradigm where there is no oauth required, allowing dynamic discovery and use of MCP server by ai agents.
