I believe God is the greatest ** Husband, Father ** Building DevDb and DWP ** **

DevDb v2 packs a punch. One of my top features is the query explainer feature that deeply integrates with the MySQL Explain tool by @tobias_petry who also collab'ed with me to make the integration possible.

...and it's still Day 0 🤟

@YoussefHosni951 @anothercohen What kind of skills?

[Made in Nigeria OSS @MadeinNGOSS]

Every developer knows this feeling.

You are deep in code and need to check your database. So you stop, switch tools and open a separate client which then breaks your flow.

@_damms005 built DevDB, which auto-loads your database right inside VS code

@NMoses_ @RealQueenBee__ That's why I mentioned Endsars. It's not about what they are "willing to adopt". It's a question of how far we're willing to insist on a transparent election process

So, no more need for returning officers, collation centers, etc. Electorates votes and stream the activities in realtime, including votes counting. Instead of "go to court", evidence will simply be replaying the video streams uploaded by those many thousand of electorates.

[Damilola E. Olowookere @_damms005]

Wild idea, but with the recent, very dark INEC moves, what we need for our election is a simple and very cheap server for an election streaming service. Its integrity will be guaranteed by the electorates because only such video streams are needed to "count the votes"

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

You can’t trust INEC o.

You absolutely can’t.

Niger Takes Full Control Of Arlit Uranium Mine, Revokes French Company’s License

Niger has taken another bold step towards the full nationalization of its resources. On May 18th, 2026, the Nigerien government revoked a 58-year-old concession granted to France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) on the country’s fabled Arlit mine. French mining company Orano had been siphoning uranium from this mine to power France’s nuclear reactors for over 50 years before it was suspended from operating in Niger by the administration of President Abdourahamane Tchiani in 2024.

With this latest move by Niamey, Niger, which has relied on neighboring Nigeria to meet the bulk of its energy demands for decades, is closer than ever to finally harnessing its own energy reserves for the benefit of its masses.

As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Niger has faced relentless att@cks by Western-backed t*rrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Mali and Burkina Faso, have continued to record economic and political wins.

All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of t£rror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its presently crumbling economy.

@kentcdodds @cursor_ai @Remotion @FFmpeg C'mon, we'd love to see what some AI Kent will look like! ❤️

[Damilola E. Olowookere @_damms005]

@baba_Omoloro @Enekwa Lol. I like your takes. E enter!

No. They're gonna see these tweets also

@Kennethgbo @incredibledude9 @FinPlanKaluAja1 Plus does that not look like crimes he committed in 2015? (those dates on the same line)

[Damilola E. Olowookere @_damms005]

@thdxr perfectly puts my opinion on AI in the right words 👌🏾

[C.NASIR @CNASIR2_0]

This is peak engineering.

@thdxr you were on fire on that podcast. Really enjoyed it.

While dev/teams that takes security seriously should already be using @SocketSecurity, there are sane default you can do to be safer. For DevDb (and almost all my repos now), I now ensure: signed commits, branch protection rulesets, secret scanning + push protection, Dependabot alerts, immutable releases, and pinned CI actions to SHA.

You should do the above as bare minimum.

🚨 Supply chain attack on the Laravel Lang organization:

700+ historical versions across multiple community-maintained Laravel Lang packages were compromised with an RCE backdoor, including:

laravel-lang/lang
laravel-lang/http-statuses
laravel-lang/attributes
Laravel-Lang/actions

The payload targets cloud creds, CI/CD secrets, Kubernetes tokens, Vault, browser data, password managers, SSH keys, and more.

DevDb is a VS Code extension by @_damms005 that auto-loads your database and displays the data in a Vue UI 🧑‍💻 - https://t.co/MEqQyGpC4w

An Inconvenient Truth for climate alarmists:

Al Gore’s dramatic climate warnings shaped a generation — but 20 years later, the data tell a very different story.

Climate-related deaths are down 97% over the past century, polar bears more than doubled since the 1960s, and global burned area has decreased by more than 25% over the past quarter century.

That's hardly a success of climate policy though: fossil fuels still provide 81% of world energy, emissions keep rising, and $16 trillion+ spent on green policies since Gore's movie came out hasn’t changed the trajectory.

A good reminder that panic is a terrible policy adviser.

@tonyajah Plus it's disgusting to see public figures like this that write in Yoruba, and put oddly wrong accent marks on those Yoruba letters, and are dumb enough to put their faces next to such abysmal representation

[Damilola E. Olowookere @_damms005]

@DedayoRoots But if frying eggs for e.g., one can't use irú nah, abi?

[Damilola E. Olowookere @_damms005]

Even more, you can easily view your database in your IDEs with DevDb, including auto config discovery, etc.
