I was so tired I slept for over 20 hours.

Just walked into a cafe in Brussels and saw this sign. It instantly made me feel safe and welcomed.

By the way, whenever I'm in the West, my confidence in my English speaking really takes a hit. I have a hard time understanding people if they speak even a little bit fast, and I feel like communication is a struggle because my own accent is so strong.

@hongminhee Try Python... and many, many, many thanks for Wand !

@brunus@mamot.fr Haha, so you know about Wand! That's a project I started 10 years ago; I didn't think anyone knew about it. Thank you.

It's really interesting to see news about the fediverse on the TV!

It was really fun to talk with @liaizon@social.wake.st about so many things like… anarchism and punk in the States, socialism vs. liberalism in Korea, and so on…

By the way, if you're attending #FOSDEM 2026 and are interested in #Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, please consider checking out my talk in the Social Web Room tomorrow.
