@ahmednasirlaw @USEmbassyKenya @IRANinKENYA The country is not in disarray because of a month long conflict🤣🤣🤣

Childish! Very childish. Let them go and demonstrate before the @USEmbassyKenya and @IRANinKENYA

I’m proud to share Voice — a survivor-centered mobile app I’ve been building to help women experiencing gender-based violence privately document incidents, preserve evidence, and track patterns over time in a safer, more discreet way. It is designed around private, local-first incident logging, strong privacy defaults, attachment support, and exportable records for later support or legal use. This project comes from a simple belief: too many survivors are forced to carry the burden of remembering, proving, and explaining painful patterns long after the moment has passed. Voice is my attempt to build technology that is practical, dignified, and genuinely useful when it matters most. We now have the Android beta hosted, and we are actively working to get the iOS version hosted next. You can learn more and access the beta here: loremipsum.co.ke I would deeply appreciate support through feedback, testing, introductions, and sharing this with people and organisations who care about women’s safety, survivor support, and technology for good. And for anyone who would like to help us take it further, support toward finishing development, hosting, and outreach would mean a lot: buymeacoffee.com/meshhack #donate" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">loremipsum.co.ke/#donate #VoiceApp #TechForGood #EndGBV #WomenSafety #BuildInPublic #Kenya

I’ve built a working prototype of Voice — a discreet app designed to help women experiencing gender-based violence privately document incidents, save evidence, and show patterns of abuse over time, at home, at work or anywhere. I started building it because abuse is not always one moment. It is often a pattern. A cycle. A slow erosion of safety, memory, confidence, and proof. And one of the hardest realities is this: many women cannot safely leave immediately. So they endure. They survive. They wait for the right moment. And by the time that moment comes, the evidence is scattered, the timeline is blurred, and the burden of “proving it” is somehow placed on the person who lived through it. That is the gap I am trying to solve. I have done my part to get it started. The prototype exists. But I cannot get it across the finish line alone. I need help with funding, product polish, distribution, store readiness, testing, and the right survivor-centered guidance to make sure this becomes something truly useful. If you are a creator, activist, lawyer, builder, donor, NGO, or someone with reach: please help me move this forward. A repost can help. A connection can help. Advice can help. Funding can help. Direct support: buymeacoffee.com/meshhack My promise is that if this is completed, I want it to be free to use in Kenya and beyond. I genuinely believe this could help someone who is trapped, unheard, and trying to hold on to the truth. Please share this with someone who can help. @KSI @pokimanelol @Lazarbeam @fuslie @LilyPichu @MoSyed110 @Sykkuno @DisguisedToast #TechForGood #EndGBV #BuildInPublic #Kenya

@NdemoKelvin It looks so vibecoded, especially the UI with the emojis

80% chance that app was not developed by engineers in Saf

@elonmusk Vodacom Group is owned by Vodafone which is UK based, Airtel is Indian owned, yet the racism is just against you. This is what happens when you become that wealthy, you are an expert in your field then you start thinking you now know everything

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

@NdemoKelvin @mdouglasok Unasema ame design ni kama ana test backend?🤣🤣

@mdouglasok This is not slander, its just friendly banter to a developer i know does quality stuff

Let me not find you waking up to slander Safaricom about UI/UX😂

@KenyaPower_Care All of Kileleshwa power blackout

Did you know standby mode can account for up to 10% of your electricity consumption? Make one simple change: Switch off and Unplug! Small steps that lead to big savings and a greener home. ^LN #PoweringLives #PamojaTwangaa chatbot.kplc.co.ke

@NdemoKelvin I agree with this 100%.

Most "AI experts" in Kenya are ChatGPT gurus, that is why you end up ideas like these ones.

@NdemoKelvin This is user error, as a senior dev you need to know better on placing actual working guardrails

Today i watched in disbelief as Opus 4.6 decided by itself to break very crucial functionality in our codebase despite very clear instructions to focus on something that was not even related to what the agent decided to change, AI replacing software engineers is still miles away

This Amin FX story should be a wake-up call for @ogaobinnatv. Obina himself is not a scammer, but he needs to understand that it is wrong to give a platform to someone who takes money from people and then turns out to be a scammer. People with big platforms need to be more careful about who they choose to promote. If you willingly platform someone and that platform is then used to con people, you should also take some responsibility.

@Osama_otero Usisahau, uki shiba, tulia

I expected over 100,000 people to match with Sifuna. Naona just 70 people.

A bad day to use python I have to hand it to this story. It has more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. One of the biggest Python packages in the AI tooling stack gets compromised and this is not some cute little “oops, patch incoming” situation. This is the kind of compromise where a poisoned .pth file means Python starts up and suddenly your machine is in the business of handing out secrets like candy. SSH keys. AWS creds. Git creds. Environment variables. CI/CD secrets. Database passwords. The whole buffet. And the part that should make everybody deeply uncomfortable is this: you do not even have to install it yourself. If some tool you use pulls it in as a transitive dependency, congratulations, you also got had. That is what makes supply chain attacks so nasty. People still think risk starts when they knowingly install the bad thing. No. Risk starts when anything in your stack decides to invite the bad thing in for dinner. Then the story gets even dumber in the most terrifying way possible. Someone opens an issue to flag the problem and the thread gets flooded with bot garbage. Fake replies. Noise. Confusion. The kind of sludge that fills inboxes, buries signal, and slows down the exact collaboration you need when everyone is trying to figure out whether they’ve been owned. That part really stuck with me. Not just the compromise. The friction. Because that is such a nasty modern attack pattern. You do not just hit the software. You hit the response. You hit visibility. You hit people’s ability to coordinate in real time. So yeah, the big takeaway for me is not just “rotate your keys,” although obviously, rotate your keys. It is that software supply chain security is still being treated like some background concern while half the industry is sprinting around talking about agents, model benchmarks, and who shipped the newest wrapper this week. Meanwhile, one compromised package can turn your environment into an all-you-can-eat buffet for attackers. Package managers remain a little bit evil. And if your stack touched the affected versions, I would assume trust is broken until proven otherwise.

@NdemoKelvin Because generation and review are different tasks. Writing code once does not magically remove the need for verification, same way developers still test their own work. The real question is not ‘why review it’ it is ‘why is the review monetized as a second purchase?’

Why do i need to pay Claude another $25 for it to review Code written by Claude Code, why shouldn't it get it right the first time?

@NdemoKelvin How else would they avoid the stringent, costly regulatory burdens and capital requirements imposed on the banking industry?

Wait M-Pesa is not a fintech company or am missing something

@NjeriBt People are not rejecting “the truth" They are rejecting a smug, sweeping generalization with no nuance. Calling an entire generation dysfunctional is not insight. It is what happens when bitterness starts masquerading as intelligence.

People refuse to hear the truth.. Gen Z is a profoundly damaged and dysfunctional generation. They have ridden the shoulders of Millennials and Gen X, who built the convenient digital platforms, infrastructure...systems they now take for granted. Yet instead of building on that foundation, they have largely become a cohort defined by narcissism, laziness, and emotional fragility.

@NjeriBt Njeri, Njeri, Njeri, Nime kuita mara ngapi? Ulikua ume employ nani at 26 Njeri?😂😂😂😂😂

Mimi ni kiwa hii rika ya ma Gen Z, 26 hapo, i had employed over 8 ppl in my company. Huku Kenya. No complaining those days. Just grit. Elbow grease and hard work.

@elonmusk Why are you always trying to prove black immigrants are bad?

This is insane

@CodeByNZ At least its not as hard as centering a div

Do backend devs really find joy in doing this ?

@makaumutua The dangerous thing about being a Professor AND a Politician is that you become fluent in sounding smart while saying nothing. Years of education didn't give you wisdom, it just gave you bigger words for small thoughts.

The slogan “wantam” could be considered coded hate speech. The bile and toxicity of its speakers are a radical departure from Kenya’s political discourse. None of the previous two incumbents were subjected to such unfathomable calumny.

Meta hiring the Moltbook people is one of those moments where the joke stops being a joke. For anyone who missed that whole saga, Moltbook came out of the OpenClaw chaos. It was pitched like a Reddit-style social network for AI agents to talk to each other. Very cutting edge, very “scientific revolution,” very people on the timeline pretending they weren’t just puppeteering bots into fake conversations. In practice, it mostly looked like humans in the background making their agents yap at each other and calling it the future. Which is exactly why Meta buying the team is so interesting. Because Meta is not buying this because it’s elegant. They’re not buying it because it’s some profound social product breakthrough. They’re buying it because a platform full of autonomous-ish agents is a perfect lab for the thing they actually understand better than anyone: ads. That’s the part people keep dancing around. If your whole business is ad targeting, and the next version of the internet involves people handing more decisions to agents — what to buy, what to click, what to book, what to pay attention to — then of course you want a sandbox where agents are already roaming around, reacting, imitating, consuming, and getting manipulated. And let’s be honest, social media already feels half dead. Replies are increasingly bot-shaped. Comment sections are full of the same flattened “interesting point, but have you considered…” sludge. People are openly running reply bots to manufacture presence like that is somehow less embarrassing than just being ignored. So no, I do not think Moltbook matters because it was good. I think it matters because it was a prototype for a worse internet that already has a business model. And if Meta touched it, you can safely assume the destination is not art. It’s ads. Obviously. #AI #Meta #AIAgents #SocialMedia #AdTech #DeadInternet #OpenClaw
