@RaoulGMI Kimi 2.6 and go nuts

You can tell when Anthropic are about to release a new model because the current version of Claude gets so nerfed to give them extra compute/inference that it becomes unusable for several days. I can't get it to follow any instruction right now...it just gives up. Grrr

@heynavtoor need to have gimp but lightroom it

A Brazilian YouTuber killed the Photoshop subscription. It's called PhotoGIMP. It takes GIMP, the free image editor, and makes it look and feel exactly like Photoshop. Same toolbar. Same panel layout. Same keyboard shortcuts. Your hands already know how to use it. Photoshop vs PhotoGIMP: - Price: $275.88 a year → $0 - Account: Adobe login required → No login, ever - Files: Saved to Adobe cloud → Saved on your computer - Updates: Forced when Adobe says → Only when you want - Works on: Windows and Mac → Windows, Mac, and Linux No Adobe account. No cloud upload. No AI trained on your photos. How small is the patch? Tiny. → Nine settings files. That's it. → Copy them into one folder. Done. → Open GIMP. It now looks like Photoshop. → Don't like it? Delete the folder. GIMP goes back to normal. Three steps to install. One command to uninstall. 8,751 stars. 272 forks. 30+ people from around the world helping translate it. One honest note: the license is GPL-3.0. Free for everything. Personal work, paid client work, your own edits. No "Pro" tier hiding behind it. Dionatan Simioni runs the biggest Linux YouTube channel in Brazil. He built this from Marau, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul. No VC. No team. No fundraise. This is what Photoshop should have been from the start. (Link in the comments)

@AusBTCIndBody Brilliantly written. This has such significant consequences I don't think the masses are understanding.

This is one Australian Bitcoiner's story. James Check ran the numbers on how the proposed CGT changes affect his ability to save for a house. What he found should concern every young Australian - Bitcoiner or not. This is one voice. There are millions more. If this resonates, use our email tool (at our website) to tell your story directly to your politician.

@AJamesMcCarthy instagram.com/epixel.aerospa… this guy takes some awesome ones too

I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun. The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇

@rationalaussie beauchenery.net/economic-reform Overhaul it with what Ive outlined in my economic reform package for Australia

This is a budget for old people, immigrants, and non-productive lazy parasites - who want to steal from hardworking Australians that want nothing more than for the government to get the fuck out of their lives.

@FootnotesGuy beauchenery.net/economic-reform We need to have serious economic reform in this country like I've outlined above

Favourite budget factoid. While the rest of the nation gets hit with higher capital gains tax, there’s a special carve-out for foreign investors in renewable energy. So they can flip assets that get underwritten by the Capacity Investment Scheme. bakermckenzie.com/en/insight/pub…

@markbouris beauchenery.net/economic-reform need some serious reform that Ive set out

My first thoughts on the Treasurer’s budget last night. I’ll be sitting down with highly renowned economist Chris Richardson today to break it all down. The conversation will be available on all podcast platforms tonight

@markbouris needs a huge amount of reform: beauchenery.net/economic-reform

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the budget this week? Feels like too many Australians are working harder than ever just to stand still. You don’t build a stronger country by making it harder for workers, business owners and families to get ahead.

@matt_barrie beauchenery.net/economic-reform we need this level of overhaul in Australia to allow us to prosper

May 12 Budget preview: you pay more tax, they get a Nissan GTR

@GeoffWilsonWAM beauchenery.net/economic-reform Its far too complicated at the moment, its needs reform and simplification.

Exactly

@GreenTyler27 How is it the AUD is rallying since it keeps getting printed into oblivion?

On 8 December 2025, Australia’s M3 money supply was sitting around $3.33–3.37 trillion AUD. Just a few months later in May 2026, it has surged to roughly $3.42 trillion. That means Australia has added around $90 billion in additional broad money supply in barely five months. For ordinary Australians, the consequence is simple: more dollars compete for the same housing stock, groceries, insurance, energy and services. Asset prices tend to inflate first. The purchasing power of wages and savings slowly erodes. The RBA then faces pressure to keep interest rates higher for longer to contain inflationary effects.

@SoundmoneyAQ @wiseadvicesumit people go stables when btc drops, more money flowing into STRC

@wiseadvicesumit I think it works beautifully when BTC rises or stays stable but gets fragile if BTC drops hard and STRC inflows slow.

Worried about Saylor selling $BTC? 🤯 Here’s the full math, simplified: Step 1: Stack BTC • Current stash $66.4B Step 2: Obligations • $1.5B per year • $125M per month Step 3: Coverage $66.4B ÷ $125M = 531 months 44 years of coverage in BTC value Step 4: % they’d sell $125M ÷ $66.4B = 0.18% per month That’s less than 0.2% of holdings Step 5: The part most miss While potentially selling 0.18%: • MicroStrategy is raising capital ( $STRC, equity) • Using that capital to buy more BTC In some periods, they’ve been adding tens of thousands of BTC monthly So the real equation is: Sell a tiny % (0.18%) Fund dividends Raise capital Buy significantly more BTC If inflows > outflows: Total BTC holdings increase BTC per share still grows They’re not “dumping Bitcoin” They’re using BTC as a capital engine while continuing to scale the stack.

@ASX__Trader where do you see AUDUSD trading in the next 6-12 months?

When I called the first aggressive rate hike back in 2021, I had a longer-term framework in mind… with the AU 10-year moving toward 6.6%. We’re still roughly 30% away from that level. Now, that may sound unlikely to some. It’s not a consensus view, and that’s completely fine. Similar reactions came in 2021, and again late last year when I suggested we could see the largest hike since 2022. I don’t say that to prove a point, only to give context. My approach has always been the same: Focus on the data. Apply consistent analysis. Let the evidence guide the view. And at the moment, that evidence continues to suggest higher over time. This is important to frame properly. This is not a short-term forecast. We’re looking at 3-monthly candles. These types of moves unfold over years, not weeks or months. Along the way, there will likely be rate cuts, potentially even sharp ones. But within a broader cycle, those tend to act as pauses rather than a full shift in direction. So what does this mean in practical terms? If the AU 10-year were to move toward 6%, the flow-on effects become more relevant than the number itself. Particularly for mortgage rates. Banks typically price lending based on: • The cash rate • Bond yields • Their margin In higher rate environments, mortgage rates have historically sat around 2.5%–3% above the cash rate. So in a scenario where the AU 10-year is near 6%, mortgage rates in the 8%–10% range become a realistic possibility. That’s where financial conditions begin to tighten meaningfully: • Household cash flow comes under pressure • Spending slows • Credit demand weakens • Some borrowers are forced to adjust or exit Could this view be wrong? Absolutely. But the intention here isn’t to be definitive, it’s to be prepared. Because if this path does play out, even gradually, it has meaningful implications for how we think about risk, asset prices, and positioning. The goal is simply to consider the scenario… not ignore it. They’re the ones who are ready for it.

@TheRealPlanC 2029

Bitcoin is about to go through its first supercycle: from $16,000 to $250,000+. The cycle began Nov 2022 at the $16,000 bear market low. The first peak was $126,000 and the mid-cycle low was $60,000. The next cycle peak will land in the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028, and I would be surprised to see anything less than $250,000 at the supercycle top.

@matt_barrie still dont get how aud m3 has increased significantly and at the same time the aud is ripping to most other currencies..

all those new mortgages = money printing

@Giovann35084111 the reality always lies somewhere in between

@AvidCommentator what about Diesel sir? Im wondering when this "crisis" is going to materialise because the spot price at the bowser isnt saying theres a problem

Jet fuel exports on water collapsing. Jet fuel demand remaining relatively robust. Rock is going to meet hard place. Chart: Kpler

@DeTourPod cute Dan whens social distance poddy coming back?

Turbo’s tribute has landed — and this one feels big. A 15‑year career, one team, the cobbles, the chaos, the loyalty… all distilled into a song built for a bloke who gave everything to the sport and to the GreenEDGE story. Fulle episode youtu.be/5v-0of8_mlQ

@aveotero needs a turning bay at the end of the runway to attract bigger aircraft

🚀 El Salvador is building local airports, and it’s just getting started! Brand new El Zapote Aerodrome just opened on stunning #beaches near Guatemala. This is how you truly decentralize tourism and development across the country. No more everything in San Salvador only. The whole nation is taking off! ✈️ #ElSalvadorRising #Aviation #Travel

@DSBatten @BitcoinHopium @LukeMikic21 @ProfSteveKeen @maxkeiser @stacyherbert put some of your key links in reply please - this is doing the rounds and your talk you did was amazing but if you have any written documents for the layman to show the narrative i would be very keen. Thanks for all you do Dan

@BitcoinHopium @LukeMikic21 @ProfSteveKeen @maxkeiser @stacyherbert I understand why it "feels" like a stretch but it is not a stretch at all. It is the only logical conclusion from the data, and it would be disingenuous for me to make a watered down claim so that it "felt" more plausible. Happy to share the research if you want a deep dive

Professor @ProfSteveKeen thinks Bitcoin is going to zero because of “what he knows from climate scientists.”😂🤡 Should we “trust the science,” or admit that Steve is salty because he could’ve bought Bitcoin at $1 but didn’t.😂 @maxkeiser @stacyherbert
