I was going to write an article on why I believe the RTI should be amended to compel public officials to create an official social media account. This will make blocking someone on the said public account a violation of the RTI.
In the US for instance, the Supreme Court ruled in Lindke v. Freed (2024) that blocking someone could constitute a state action (a violation of constitutional rights) if;
A. The person who blocked someone had actual authority to speak on behalf of the State on a particular matter
B. The person who blocked someone purported to exercise that authority in the relevant posts.
For example, if a Minister blocks you on social media that can constitute state action (a violation of first amendment rights) since the minister is authorized to speak on behalf of government and if the account the minister blocked you on is used for official communications.
In addition to this, the US Supreme Court recommend that state officials should have social media account in their capacity as state officials which will be different from their personal accounts because “public official who fails to keep personal posts in a clearly designated personal account therefore exposes himself to greater potential liability”.
We need to rethink social media.
I put a Shelf in my menu bar. Now every file is one drag away from a link. 🖥️✨
I built Dropzeo because sharing files shouldn't feel like a chore. Drag from Finder, images from WhatsApp, or assets from your browser.
Stash them, batch them, and get a private link instantly. 🥥
🚫 No accounts
💨 Zero hassle
The roadmap?
Turning this into an Active Shelf:
• Drop a .heic → auto-converts to .png
• Drop 5 images → get a combined .pdf
No clicks. No settings. Just magic. 🧙♂️
Building this in public. Who wants early access? 🚀

An associate asked to leave at 4 PM for his daughter's piano recital.
I asked him if she was playing Carnegie Hall.
He stammered and said it was just the school gym.
I told him that sounded lovely and I wouldn't dream of stopping him.
Then I scheduled a mandatory "strategy sync" for 4:15 PM.
I didn't tell him he couldn't go.
I just created a conflict between his love for his child and his desire to pay his mortgage.
He skipped the recital.
I cancelled the meeting at 4:20 PM because I "got busy."
He sat at his desk staring at a blank screen for an hour.
It wasn't about the meeting.
It was about establishing who really owns his time.
Spoiler: It isn't his daughter.
Guys I sell power stations at @altwatt
You can dm me or the page directly. If you want cheaper options you can pre-order and wait for 45 days.
Thank you!
I’m noticing a very distinct characteristic of The Holy Spirit when He was first poured out on people. First they spoke in different languages (human languages that weren’t familiar to the speakers) but when translated gave glory to God.
Second, there was an instinctive…
@areyouagodd Bro!! Same!!!
I almost gave my pin out in without noticing, just today. Honestly at this point, anyone whether tech savvy or not can become a victim easily
@papaspizzagh1 I’m not sure if this number 027 169 2514 is one of your branch’s contact however, I think they might be defrauding unsuspecting customers. They almost lured me into giving out my momo pin earlier today. Please look into it
At @wander we’ve never changed our logo.
How I think this has been possible:
1. It’s based on what wanted customers to feel: the feeling of spinning a globe ready to choose the next adventure.

We just released a free online robotics course! Let's make everyone robotics AI builders thanks to open-source! 🦾🦾🦾
The course will take you on a journey, from classical robotics to modern learning-based approaches, in understanding, implementing, and applying machine learning techniques to real robotic systems.
It is based on the Robot Learning Tutorial, which is a comprehensive guide to robot learning for researchers and practitioners.
It bridges theory and practice in Robotics. It's designed for people interested in understanding how machine learning is transforming robotics. Whether you're new to robotics or looking to understand learning-based approaches, this course will guide you step by step.
At the end of this course, you'll understand:
- how robots learn from data
- why learning-based approaches are transforming robotics
- how to implement these techniques using modern tools like LeRobot
🦾🦾🦾
I need an entry level QA engineer to work with.
Reach out if you are interested, you should be based in Accra, Ghana. It is remote but I prefer someone living in Accra so we can meet time to time.
Your main responsibility would be to test apps and systems we build and the rest will follow...
