@niallohiggins @openclaw @Replit I asked Replit to run it, this was the reply. Maybe worth adding a template for this, with the recommended hardware?

@Railway Would recommend trying to get a better success rate than this before advertising it.

Just tested this and it failed to spin up.

@amasad Amazing work @amasad. Will you be adding support for single projects supporting web + mobile app? Right now it seems we're encouraged to put them in different projects.

Creates scenario where you see posts from people that you follow (unclear from a community), think - I'll reply to that later - then question your sanity if such a post every existed, because the only way to find it is through search? Must be missing something.

fyi @nikitabier

[John Brett 🇮🇪 @johnbrett_]

Communities on X seem to have very weird/inconsisteny visibility unless I'm misunderstanding something.

In my feed, I see posts and replies from communities I'm not a part of - which is fine. But then if I go the profile of a post, I can't see the community posts.

EU–INC reached a new milestone: The Commissioner tasked with writing the legal proposal is leaning towards a regulation (1 EU–INC) instead of directive (27 new entities).

Next step is convincing the heads of state in Europe of this.

If your network extends to PMs, please DM me.

I think the more attention we can draw to the sheer absurdity of the situation and to the years of inaction surrounding it the better.

Thanks for this @destraynor

Ireland is going through a housing crisis

Mostly because we can't build

Our government prioritise the needs of Geese and Bats and eyesores far above progress

I thought it would be fun to share examples.

Read line by line this by @collision. Every Irish person should read it. It identifies cause, culprits & solutions. Make no mistake, Ireland is going backwards quickly % the world isn't waiting for us.
Brilliant insights from a man who has done things.

I wrote a piece for the @IrishTimes on why Ireland can’t build anything these days, and how to fix that.

@pgte Respect for open sourcing this @pgte !

@GergelyOrosz It's not time efficient, but you also effectively rule out say 90-95% of candidates right? Mostly only candidates that are already unemployed can sustainably interview this way, and likely can't interview at multiple companies simultaneously?

> Be European Parliament.
> Write a suggestion for a pan-European legal entity for startups
> Interview mostly legacy industry and their associations

pickachuface when literally EVERYONE in the ecosystem says you failed at your task.

It's so bad that EVERY startup association posts today how bad this failed suggestion is.

Why? Because they have to present it tomorrow in front of the parliament. And everyone in the room should know that this is a failed suggestion.

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

Want to help?

Tag your local politicians (particularly if they're MEPs) here on X or in the comments of our LinkedIn post, and spread the word!

Also, respond to the European Commission's 28th Regime consultation: https://t.co/fB8lNlDp8v (we will publish guidance on this soon)

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

Read our joint statement with @Allied4Startups, European Startup Network, and scores of national and regional startup associations:

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

The EU has a once-in-a-generation chance to deliver on a bold new measure with the potential to vastly improve life for scores of startup founders, operators and investors.

But Europe risks Europe-ing itself out of the opportunity.

@NOW seems to have stopped working in all browsers with a ambiguous issue about the browser being the problem, all my friends experiencing the same.

What's up? can we not watch now TV in browser anymore?

@GerHerbert1 Does it actually do 600+ km?
