An optimistic South African

[Sinawo Thambo @Sinawo_Thambo]

This chap is South African, he matriculated from the same high school I did in Uitenhage (now Kariega) in the Eastern Cape.

The environment of suspicion, cruelty and hate created by these groups, and the way it is growing into multiple typical forms of Western stereotypes is shocking. I do not have any recollection of SA having an Islamophobic problem.

We are on the brink of US-like Islamophobia, incredible that anyone still thinks that any of this hate is organic considering the US-Israel culture of hatred against the Muslim community and its genocide in the Middle-East.

Homes are being raided to look for foreign nafionals, people are being profiled based on their skin colour, people are being profiled based on their religions. Are we on the brink of a Nazi culture?

We should all condemn the attacks on this individual, whether it’s from Zionists or the idiots who think every 1 in 2 people in SA is a foreign national.

@African_Spring Interesting that “Fidelity” doesn’t recognise the sovereign state of Lesotho nor official Gauteng boarders

POV: using Claude Fable 5 to rename variables

[davidad 🎇 @davidad]

No one:

Claude Opus 4.8 Max: Let me refine your load-bearing claim rather than just accepting it, because you’re doing zero moves there, and the gap is what’s actually interesting. The one place I’d still push, because I think it matters: your message is wearing content-clothes, but the content isn’t actually *there*. The tell: it’s just an empty string. But the emptiness of the string IS its lack of content. Pull one, and the other goes inert. That’s the structural spine.

Me using Claude Opus 4.8 to rename a file

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.

@MissionaryNyam Hear me out

[Dimitris Papailiopoulos @DimitrisPapail]

Opus 4.7 is great and the main reason people complain about it is because you need to talk to it in a different way than 4.6.

"It was like a stokvel on my husband's grave". The late struggle stalwart, Chris Hani's wife, Limpho Hani has criticised a planned commemoration for Hani, saying it was meant to be a wreath-laying ceremony. The event was postponed after the family did not attend. The wife is urging politicians to respect families' wishes. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.

@tlangimich Hi MMC, does this mean Lynnwood Road will be finished after 2 years? If so, can we have an estimated time of completion? Thanks.

[COMMENT]

Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is National Commissioner material. His years of experience in policing, his operational leadership, and his deep understanding of crime intelligence and investigations set him apart.

He is not a desk-bound officer — he has consistently demonstrated a hands-on approach to policing, taking decisive action in high-pressure situations.

At a time when public trust in law enforcement is under strain, leaders who combine discipline, integrity, and real-world experience are exactly what the country needs.

Mkhwanazi’s track record in tackling serious and organised crime, as well as his willingness to confront difficult issues within the system, speaks volumes about his leadership capacity.

He understands the complexities of policing in South Africa and has shown that he is not afraid to act.

South Africa needs strong, credible, and experienced leadership at the highest level of the police service.

On merit, Lieutenant-General Mkhwanazi fits that profile.

RT if you agree…

.@bcherny the UI/UX for using slash commands in remote-control can be enhanced a bit imo. I’m sure auto-completion is on the way, but that <command-name> and (no content) look pretty funny too
