@levelsio Fair point...but what would you actually do differently. Good and bad is easy to say, but how do you filter the "good" people including low-skill plus asylum cases. I know this topic is very complicated, so I try to nuance it, but you seem to know zero about "bad" Immigration

Nice hot take but structurally false I think The European immigration debate is about mass, permanent, involuntary immigration: people fleeing poverty, settling permanently in Europe, heavily using welfare systems and changing demographics irreversibly Digital nomads are voluntary, usually temporary, high-income and pay their way. They're more like rich tourists who stay longer than any regular immigration archetype. Digital nomads don't claim welfare, they don't affect public housing queues, and because they're not resident, they need to keep having income remotely to pay for most things privately (like healthcare) There's no data attributing any significant crime to digital nomads in South East Asia. Actual crime there comes from different sources: Chinese-origin criminal networks (see the kidnappings in Thailand brought to Myanmar and Cambodia to scam people. Westerners on laptops drinking their iced latte are not showing up in any crime data in particular. Maybe some Russians in Bali for sure but that's not most digital nomads, and that's just because they're Russian! The average digital nomad earns $85,000/year and spends about 35% of that into the local economy: on housing, coworking, cafes, food, transport, directly supporting local jobs and small businesses Many countries around the world are trying to attract MORE digital nomads not LESS, like Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia rolling out special digital nomad visa for them, governments generally like digital nomads. They're a good contribution to the countries bringing lots of money, high tech (and high IQ) tech workers which can rub off on the locals The only argument you can make is gentrification, more digital nomads and tourists in a place can gentrify a place. See what happened in a place like Canggu in Bali. But that's more about too many hipster cafes, coworkings and brunch places and overbuilding of houses, which can be avoided by better regulation and zoning. Thailand for example has barely any of these issues. Luckily Bali is big so most of it is unaffected Anyway, apart from that digital nomads are generally a net positive contribution, while the current mass immigration in Europe is a net negative. And that's now provable with data. I'm an immigrant myself, and digital nomad, and we should change the narrative not that immigration is bad, but that there's good and bad immigration Europe is getting mostly bad immigration now which is causing severe social and economic issues now So yes it is completely logical and not hypocritical to see DNs go to South East Asia while they complain about immigrants in Europe, you just have to look at the data to get it

@RuttyBuilds @brucabbro @levelsio Do you know something about "buyin pressure"?

@brucabbro @levelsio Damaging the economy by spending money?

Fun fact: Thailand has such a deep jazz culture, it goes back to the early 20th century, grew through Thai popular music in the 1930s, and was later shaped even more by King Bhumibol, who was a jazz musician himself. You can feel that.

What I miss about travelling especially, Chiang Mai, is the creativity flowing around. Fell deeply in love with jazz and just sitting in bars listening to jam sessions. And I've realized...we need more live music bars here in germany, lol.

@FlavioParenti @shiri_shh json rendering exists, you can hand the LLM the tools fam

@shiri_shh Not going to happen. Consistency of UI and logic builds methodologies and habits: no LLM will provide this kind of structural stability. You need a system.

The App Store won't die because everyone will build their own apps. It'll die because we won’t need most apps at all in the future Almost everything will be replaced with a single chat interface like ChatGPT/Claude where you just talk, and it handles everything your current apps do. People love simplicity and this chat-first way of getting things done feels natural. We’re going from “there’s an app for that” to 'just tell the AI and it happens.' The chat becomes everything.

@shiri_shh the bottleneck is memory. As long this is not solved you need apps that can solve this for one specific use case.

Look into this if you like some more tasteeee

@IronBrands16 Shit is disgusting af. Guys are copying what other guys are saying and are adopting their personalities lmfao. I know exactly where this comes from.

“> it's safe (unlike rest of Europe)”

@onlinedopamine You are never too old

whenever you feel that you're too old to get started, remember that this dude only began building at age 27

You were given tools to do do anything the entire time, the question is how simple can you communicate solutions. Now you gotta ship things feeling like magic. Simplicity, taste snd ability to communicate with other apps. You can still still drown in overwhelm.

Yeah openclaw has been wrapped up softly

i had to patch @callstackio's react-native-bottom-tabs to get this liquid glass minimize effect working with LegendList / FlashList it's as simple as: <Tabs minimizeBehavior="onScrollDown">   <Tabs.Screen name="home" />   <Tabs.Screen name="settings" /> </Tabs>

@levelsio Maybe because it, most of the times, sounds like absolutism

It's hard to be honest about places It's my job with Nomads.com but if I am honest about a place I instantly get attacked on here by mobs of people from those countries Need a thick skin

@offpaths Looking neat !

this is going to be my most profitable SaaS yet ✨introducing Nrative✨ i've been working on this non-stop, now it's time to start sharing it. the idea: 1. give Nrative your raw video 2. Nrative takes care of the edit 3. post a video you feel good about From raw video to polished narrative, instantly MVP out soon.

@burcs Tried it on a different device, still not working

@bySamBoffa hey sam, can you do me a favor and clear all cookies for dash.cloudflare.com and try again?

Hey @Cloudflare somehow I'm not able to login via Github. Tried it with a fresh session and all, not working.

Nothing being more satisfying than working on an app and seeing somebody be succesful on the idea. That's the validation

“Repeated exercise produces robust physiological benefits & is the leading lifestyle intervention for human health.” -Kindel et al, Neuron 2026 = obvious to many now but significant b/c it’s the 1st line of a traditional scientific study. 5 years ago no one would say it.
