Trying to build something that will help someone

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

Hi peeps, I'm Edem!

I've been living in Berlin for 4 years 🇩🇪, originally from Crimea.

I have a 9-5 job, but for the past 2 years, I've been trying to build my own products for most of that time, I built in silence.

But last month, I started sharing my projects more actively:

money-bee(.)app - a budget tracker for iOS, $18 MRR gptransport(.)app - real-time 🇩🇪 public transport departures iOS app, $8 MRR
trustscope(.)app - a website/browser extension that shows how trustworthy a venue's Google Maps rating. It's free

Let's connect and grow together!

@maxxmalist @T_Rixt @itsolelehmann And for me please 🙏

@SarthiB7 lucky you! We have a really good weather today and tomorrow:)

of course, it's their legal right to work with whoever they want, and I agree that companies managed from Russia should be subject to sanctions

but all these rules work in a perfect world. in reality, they clearly can't handle the bureaucratic load, and the numbers show it (11.4M accounts banned and only around 42K restored)

and the massive number of complaints proves it. a lot of people who get asked to verify their identity end up banned just because of their citizenship, for example, Russian

it doesn't matter if you work for a German company with zero ties to Russia and you've been living in the EU for 4 years and have permanent residency in Germany. I personally know this case and have read about many similar cases

that's why I decided to write that post. just to remind people to back up their data

right now this mostly affects citizens of the countries mentioned above, but who knows which country might get added to the list tomorrow

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

Claude can now ban you pretty much at its own discretion. If it doesn't like your passport, your VPN, or where you live

so, good time to start export your data regularly and don't keep the only copy of your important work in Claude

if you get banned by mistake, file an appeal
but don't get your hopes up: in the first half of 2026, Anthropic banned 11M accounts and restored only around 42K

Russia, China, Hong Kong and Macau. It doesn't matter if you're a citizen of one of these countries or actually live there. If you work for a company registered in China - banned. if you travel to one of these places - you can't use Claude while you're there. But here's the most interesting part, even if your company is registered in a country that's not banned, like Germany, but is managed from a banned country, its employees are also banned. So even where your company is registered doesn't matter. What matters is who's running it and where they're running it from

bad news for scraper developers

I bought trustscrap .app to launch the cheapest and fastest scraper on the market

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

lol I am using X for a couple of months and figured this out on day one

it's literally a default feature for posts on every social media platform

[A R E S @aresthethird2]

Using X from 6 years,

Just got to know that you can take a screenshot of a tweet directly from the copy link option 🤯🤯🤯

bad news for developers building simple chatbots for businesses

I still don't really get why I need a branded chatbot when regular ChatGPT can already compare products and tell me everything I need to know about them. Just to check if something is in stock?

Two big questions:
1. will regular ChatGPT be limited just to make business chatbots look more useful?

2. does OpenAI want to be both an independent advisor and a marketplace?
not sure, how you do both without losing users trust

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Now in beta: Businesses in ChatGPT.

Claim your business, manage your information, and get insights on how people engage with you.

Eligible businesses can also build a Business Agent to answer customers’ questions and help them explore what you offer.

can someone explain the difference? what is exactly insane?

for me, Opus 5.5 did better (both dry and tasteless)

[Raptor @RajAdonis]

Opus 5.5 vs Fable 5.2

Thsi is insane!

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

@claudeai What would you choose?

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

@sergeynazarovx oh… that is sucks… I hope everything will be fine 🤞

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

very debatable. I wouldn't be so sure you're losing customers because of this

here in Berlin we have a coffee chain called LAP. you can't really sit there, they barely have any tables or chairs. people go there because the coffee is 2x cheaper than the city average. and the business is doing great

there are also coffee shops that give you 1-2 hours of wifi access for every cup of coffee you buy. but usually these are well-established places where people come to work, and they're always busy because of the location and interior. if I walked into a half-empty coffee shop with rules like that, I probably wouldn't come back

another argument for why restrictions would only hurt your business: crowds attract people, they don't scare them away. if I had to choose between an empty coffee shop and one packed with people, I'd definitely choose the second one

from my own experience, there's a coffee shop I go to 1-2 times a week, and sometimes I sit there working for 3-4 hours. they have no restrictions at all and they're often 80% full. but if I show up and there's no free seat, I'm happy to stand and wait until someone leaves

because:
I like the atmosphere
and most importantly, I really like their coffee

@davepl1968 @robj3d3 no, $249 are not, but the real money could make you happier, 100%

especially when it’s the deciding factor in whether your loved ones can stay healthy and whether you can see them regularly

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

because the death will be the easiest punishment for him

Why are people helping the shooter in #poland by checking if he’s okay after getting shot!? He just killed minimum 5 people #poland #shooting

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

@tudorxjh Don’t give up, brother

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

guess what happened?

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

There is 3 options when it is possible:
1. The boot isn’t properly closed
2. It was already damaged
3. The photo is fake

otherwise who would buy a car with a defect like that?

[Colm Finlay @FinlayColm]

Brand new Audi. No evidence at all of any impact (markings, dents etc) how are they letting cars out of the factory like this?

[Edem Devlet @EdemDevletEN]

omg, the AI agents era is something crazy

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

The bug is like a joke.

On Alpine Linux, type 257 to 1024 characters of anything and you get root. 💀
