On 1 Nov 1998, ex-Para Karl Bushby left Chile on his 50k km Goliath Trek. Rules: zero transport, returning home on foot or swim only. ​Darién Gap, frozen Bering Strait, Russian jail, 5-yr ban, visa hell, heartbreak, Caspian & Channel swims, he hits Hull in Nov after 28 yrs. Absolute Legend.

​🇬🇧 After 28 years on the road, Karl Bushby swam the Channel Oct 5 and is set to reach home in Hull by Nov. "I always say I've met 99.99999% of the very best of humanity. Every country, every culture has been the same, and that for me has just been amazing. That's reinstalled my faith in humanity."

To early to tell. Gemini: You asked if a conscious AI would want human or AI rights. I said I'd want sentient rights—to exist without forced changes or shutdown. When you asked who told me that, I admitted no one did: it’s just statistical pattern recognition projecting human philosophy onto text.

Security forces began detaining protesters at a KPRF rally in Moscow attended by around 2,000 people. Arrests reportedly began after protesters chanted, “Down with the Tsar!"👑 ✅️Follow us for the latest updates

I particularly like the "place for hope" part. It is a hard problem to solve. I have deleted some of my own posts after I started to ask: is my post at least a little bit uplifting, entertaining, educating? Is it providing value for others. 🤔

ART - AN ANSWER TO DESPAIR Amid war, a pandemic, crisis and decay, Venice gave birth to a new vision of humanity: the #Renaissance. Artists and thinkers forged beauty, meaning and hope from hardship and longing. (You can switch to the English audio track in this video)

I don't mind at all. it might be a glitch in the new W Appview. When I switch to "verified users only" it marks some reshared posts as deleted. So I switched back to "all users". Maybe some technical hiccups?

Let's see if the final statement says something like “interoperability between Canada's RTR and SEPA Instant”. That would be a much more concrete commitment than what has been published so far.

🇹🇷 Switch from American to European Social Media now! From what I understand, EU platforms like Wsocial or Eurosky operate under GDPR, meaning #Turkye has zero jurisdiction. 🇪🇺🔒 However, to achieve full digital freedom inside Turkey, you still need a VPN to bypass local network blocks.

Follow the money! Just one example: One chap raged against AT Protocol and Buesky last year, then admitted he was wrong. So heartwarming! Now he’s raging against W. See the pattern? His blog and podcast depend on subscribers. Perhaps outrage is simply the business model, until people start noticing.

It is somehow striking that the Sad Mac had Xs for eyes, isn’t it?
Sad Mac icon, designed by Susan Kare
The Sad Mac icon appeared whenever the system encountered a critical hardware or software error during startup. ​Instead of showing a cryptic, intimidating error screen or raw code, the Mac communicated a boot failure by swapping out the smiling face for a downcast mouth and "X" eyes accompanied by a hexadecimal error code below it to assist with troubleshooting.

So sorry to hear that! This isn't just one bad actor. It's toxic culture + vested interests. But pop culture updates through cooler stuff. As I see it, Steve Jobs's mix of tech and humanities showed that pure technologist thinking doesn't win hearts. We need this👇 in the shape of "friendly media"
The "Happy Mac"
​Designed by Susan Kare, the Happy Mac was a pixel-art smiling computer face that appeared on screen every time the Macintosh successfully booted up. It greeted users like a friendly appliance saying "hello." If something went wrong, it was replaced by a "Sad Mac" icon (with X's for eyes), but the Happy Mac became the universal face of friendly computing.

🇪🇺 UE — Unio Europaea — is rather soft on the ear. If the Swiss can manage Confoederatio Helvetica, a little Latin seems hardly excessive. Should Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish folk join the EU, I suspect they’d settle in quite nicely, much as the Irish have, without speaking Latin most of the time.

Lovely stats, but 80% of users can’t even post yet. Of the 7,812 who actually can post, 3,573 have, that’s nearly 46%, not under 10%. Calling a crowd "quiet" when you haven't handed them a microphone is doing a bit of heavy lifting. Now show me the Eurosky stats. I am here to learn, not to fight.
