10 months of hard work with @protocollabs.bsky.social
People genually interested in each other. Complimentary with knowledge: future of search next to private transactions, ethical verifiable credentials (ah, here we go again!) next to network-level privacy.

Wrote an article on relaunching cypherpunk for 2025
Sense that I need to get back to my "Society of the Drone spectacle" essay based on drone warfare x social media engagement based on Ukrainian-Russian war.
Especially, when FPV-drones became integral part of mundane social media reality in Ukraine.

Let see what Pegasus awaits us all.
Love to do Starter kit formats.
Help to structure complex knowledge.
Embracing giving back to tools you love to use.
Working hard to tackle neo-colonialism aka event tourism extraction:
- have a local crew
- planning to collab with local NGOs like Amnesty International
- have a corner to intro local youth into hacktivism culture (en castellano)
- multilingual web
- sourcing local use-cases for privacy & so on.
I'm into art movies, anti-Netflix, hehe
you can't fix laziness yet ;)
and willingness to watch nice movies instead of neverending learning curve.
Some tools I'm using among others.

Prototyping our hackathon concept.
We would love hackathon to be a time of mutual care. Where instead of separation (Ethereum vs Solana, TEE vs MPC, identity vs anonymity etc) we unite, share and help each other.
Careathon = interdisciplinarity.

recently decided to return to Barcelona.
gentrification, hypertourism, aren't the only hot topics there.
Boomkat aka @boomkat.com published annual charts. Pure musical delight, bliss & rapsody.
