Flea 0.3.6 is out! ⚡️

Folder jump, sidebar eject, durable copies and faster NAS shares.

I've massively upgraded Flea's development process. Expect much more soon!

The now-deceased Tooro kingdom leader visited some high-end hospitals in Kampala after feeling persistent backpain. X-rays, MRI scans later, they told him they saw nothing.

Being a person of means, he flew to a hospital in Nairobi where he was diagnosed with cancer. A year later he was dead. What did the doctors in Nairobi see that the Kampala ones couldn’t?

Well, Nairobi has a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan or a few. Kampala and the whole of Uganda don’t. A PET scan costs about $3m (Shs 11.7bn) or approximately 17 Land Cruisers.

If there was a meeting of government officials, you would run out of space to park them. That is how many we have in Uganda but a PET Scan is not something we have been able to buy and install yet.

[SLIMBOOK @slimbook]

We’ve already put Omarchy Quattro to the test on one of our Slimbooks!

This new version brings some very interesting features: dual boot, a factory installation that allows the device to be shipped without first creating a user account, a unified desktop with Quickshell, and more seamless integration with coding agents.

Faster, smoother, and with an evolution we’ve enjoyed seeing up close.

And yes: Omarchy Quattro is now available on our laptops. 😉

Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim has spent years using his voice and talents to hold power accountable as his contribution towards a better society for us all.

Instead of honoring his work, the regime is actively working to silence him through, among other oppressive tactics. A court order was recently issued against him, by which he is required to pay a total of UGX 30,000,000/= within 14 days or spend three months in prison. Why? Because he made a post on his social media platform calling out an injustice that, in the court's wisdom, amounts to contempt.

I am calling on all Ugandans of good conscience, in Uganda and abroad, to stand with Dr. Spire in whatever way we can, and help him resolve this challenge.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Today, July 19, 2026, I, a Ugandan citizen, propose that henceforth, from grade I magistrates to Supreme Court justices, spend a mandatory 24 hours resident at a Ugandan prison as part of their induction.

I propose that the Hon. Joel B. Ssenyonyi MP, Nakawa West, table my bill.

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

In a country with a serious government, these three individuals @AAgather, @SpireJim and @GodwinTOKO would be awarded national honours for opening the lid and blowing the whistle on the grand corruption that was taking place in Parliament. I can't help but remember the kind of vitriol they received from regime apologists for releasing details of shocking transactions of billions landing on personal accounts. At the highest level, they were branded traitors and agents of foreigners.

Today, the same facts they revealed are stated in court documents. Even when the regime continues to harass them for their work, this moment provides all of us a lesson that when you remain consistent at doing the right thing, you'll most certainly be vindicated at the right time.

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

Duncan, while this might be understood from the angle of fear and avoidance of danger to self, I don’t think it takes away moral responsibility. In ethics, we usually don’t make moral attribution where an actor lacks freedom or knowledge. But, from a consequentialist perspective, if we say there is no freedom in the magistrate’s act and therefore no moral responsibility, the wider moral implications are absurd. A person who steals out of fear of poverty is also morally cleared. Another who eliminates a colleague who is likely to take their job is also not culpable. The list goes on. Sometimes giving a semblance of lack of freedom is simply a pronouncement that ‘between my benefit and harming an innocent person, I choose my benefit’. It is a false dilemma projected in defence of weak consciences. Presenting facilitators of violence as helpless victims simply serves to motivate more into such performance.

For thirty years and more, I looked at Miria Matembe with utmost respect. Even when she was too loud or too bold, I had nothing but respect for her. She spoke her mind with people's interests at heart. She never changed. She is a treasure we must protect. A national treasure. A woman of character. A fighter for a better Uganda. A voice of wisdom and reason. Wherever she is, I hope she is safe and protected. Because, honestly, if Miria Matembe ends up in jail, we will lose the last crumbs of decency as a country.
