On X ads are labeled so quietly you only notice after you’ve already read or engaged with it. It’s designed to pass as a normal post first and an ad second, which says enough about how it’s meant to work

Infrared sauna in your dressing room, running clubs, hi-fi sound systems, 10k La Marzoccos, archive fashion, vintage watches — different on the surface, same underlying itch of your mid-30s, trying to find something to commit to and recognise yourself in.

@ty_kra_lab @wabi It flattened my cat 😭

This summer, get ready to shoot iPhone 1 quality photos with this @wabi mini app. Built in Wabi, this project brings back the feel of older iPhone sensors, starting from the original iPhone, to recreate a time when light was rendered with more character and less digital perfection. Instead of adding more controls, it shifts the focus back to what actually matters: framing, composition, and the moment itself. You can also customize the color output, making the experience more personal. As a proof of concept, it shows how one iPhone can virtually become another. The iPhone model itself was built in WebGL.

@reet416 They’re all very boring people

You listen to this stuff and you hope that there is something there. After all, Amsterdam people who are supposed to care about creativity or whatever, eat this shit up. But there’s just nothing. Not a single unique perspective or witty anecdote. It’s all slop

FOR MY NON-DUTCH FOLLOWERS: From August 11th you too can listen to this insanely boring (and predictable!) slop by a woman who’s currently considered one of NL most prominent ‘philosophers’. (Dutch normies are STILL listening to such mundane garbage in year of our lord 2026)

@reet416 Lol 😭

Biggest friction with LLMs for me: something gets written, passed around, run through model after model until it stops improving and just keeps changing. It always finds something to tweak, the loop keeps going even when the substance isn't, and the process starts to erode trust.

@ty_kra_lab hey, not a designer but I'd be happy to chat. I've worked on a few speculative hardware projects alasky.xyz

I want to do a real collab with some industrial designers who want to create from scratch an hardware device with software and the limits of iPhone sensors and make it functional as the real one. I really need to understand if emulation done well can morph our devices, so if you are interested, feel free to dm me.

@kentdebruin What? Not when I'm moving to Paris...

Amsterdam will be the hardware capital of the world

@Revolut £10k stolen and @Revolut refused to freeze the transactions. 💀

UK. Banking. License.

@TerminusTermus @EU_Social @EU_Eurostat A lot of them work as ZZP’ers in horeca. I also wonder if these numbers include the self-employed, which is quite common in Western countries.

@EU_Social @EU_Eurostat Take these numbers from the Netherlands with a grain of salt. A part of the youth is unemployed but doesn't end up in these numbers because they are in a different category. They have a disability or still live with their parents. They are looking for work, but aren't counted.

@EU_Social @EU_Eurostat As a Romanian, my assumption is that people simply enter the workforce later than in many other countries, especially in the West. When I was a student, very few people had jobs. I did six internships before starting my first full-time contract at 23.

@sebkrier I was describing exactly this to someone the other day lol.

I've developed the unique skill of being incredibly sharp in meetings that don't matter, and a half-zombified wreck when surrounded by people who actually do. Bodes well.

I used to think getting older meant growing closer to humanity, seeing people with more compassion, but I feel softer toward animals, more protective of them, and increasingly distant from my own species.

just met a cute girl at the wedding i’m at like actually cute. objectively dangerous face card. we’re talking. vibes are immaculate. she’s laughing at my jokes. i’m in my bag. aura farming effortlessly. then x gets brought up, she says it “i’m an accelerationist” my ears PERKED up i played it cool. i said “oh nice, what kind of accelerationism” she said “mostly like… e/acc y’know” and that’s where a normal person would’ve said “slay” and gotten her number but i am not a normal person my brain instantly went into terminal mode and i said “effective how” she looked confused i kept going “e/acc as in techno-capital positive feedback loop? or e/acc as in ‘i retweet venture capital and call it metaphysics’? land or just vibes? are you building runaway processes or just posting about them” she laughed nervously and said “i kinda just like… ship fast” and i said “ship WHAT” she said “threads” and i said “so you don’t actually accelerate anything” the vibe was GONE just vanished. nuked. full memetic cascade failure on the 1-minute. her friend pulled her away. she didn’t look back. i was standing there alone at a wedding holding a drink i wasn’t even sipping, doing MENTAL MATH on whether her worldview was 80% ‘founder mode’, 20% ‘the future is now’, and 100% aesthetic overfitting my friend walked over and said “bro she was into you what happened” i said “she said she’s e/acc and then described liking elon memes and posting ‘AGI soon’ under every thread” he said “so?” SO??? i would rather die alone than let a casual timeline accelerationist think we are the same species she had a pretty face but a DISGUSTING ontology and i simply cannot overlook that could’ve had her number but she knows i respect obscure pdfs, cursed cybernetics, and the dark elegance of nick land’s schizoposting and honestly that’s worth more

@dnlklr For sure

@springofaretes your account is hacked

@anagrigoriu L-am vazut, mi-a placut dar nu si fata :(

@alasky__ Mais oui to this x.com/sunstun14/stat…

I hate seeing this shit in Paris

@DavidWHD I’d honestly do it. I saw 3

@alasky__ Most of them are being taken down by random commuters

i open this app and reality is already ahead of me dressed as itself arguing with its reflection everyone applauding because something happened probably
