Morph & Beyond

This is tele btw. When I was asking people to invest it traded at 300.

Can someone explain to me why are cars this expensive here? It makes no sense. For no reason at all, week after week, prices continue to skyrocket and I can’t figure out why. I did the math, it’s not import costs nor taxes.

First time at a show premiere. What do people do at these things!

What do you hate? (Digital Art + magazine sale “Getz” at Artawi Gallery) very cool stuff.

Looking to sell my MacBook Pro M3, used, 512 + 18 gigs ram 16in screen. Very good condition. 89% battery 🔋 and around 295 cycle count. Physically it’s in good condition but the screen (as with all MacBooks) has the keyboard imprinted. Annoying but almost inevitable. (Trillion dollar company but they couldn’t solve this) Other than that it’s a workhorse, used it for almost two years, battery lasts for the entire day of work (if I don’t run containers or models). Didn’t know how much to ask, but on Jiji, used, they go for 300k+. Which is too much. I got it from the apple store, I’m okay with 280k. Danke!

Huh

Ouch. What’s with all the hate though 🤣😂

Congratulations

I hope some of y’all listened to me. It is still not too late :)

If y’all are wondering how your company can use the Fayda API. Ezpz, register here: https://partner.fayda.et/ Docs here: https://id.et/api No fuss, just have the legally mandated document, you’re good to go. The legal process is also improved (I know someone was having a hard time with that).

Gotta love it

Pretty cool https://youtu.be/-BhcQURVjJg?si=oXHQOgpTKTMJ9xMq

Maybe this sounds like a childish rant, but I feel this strongly because corruption is not just some abstract “part of life” that everyone has to accept. Real people get hurt by it. People with less money, fewer connections, and less power are the ones who pay the highest price. A person who can afford to pay a bribe may see it as a necessary shortcut, but someone who cannot afford it may lose access to a service, a job, justice, medical care, documents, basic fucking dignity. That is why I cannot accept it as just another adult compromise. It is not harmless. It shouldn’t be simply “how things work”. I want people to understand that my anger comes from seeing how deeply unfair and damaging that is, because I just experienced it. And this is not something new, it’s been like this for a minute, I know. But now, it’s just blatantly in your face. As a community, there must be something we can do. It cannot continue like this. Because the government is clueless, for example they updated paper land deeds to better deeds (more stamps or whatever) to fight corruption, sure enough the process of updating was ripe with corruption. Then they said “let’s make it digital” and the process to make it digital? You guessed it, ripe with corruption. Then they’re like, nah, the digital deed is not valid, now we came up with ecarta or whatever they’re calling it; sure enough, that process is ripe with corruption. Wtf? Then they decided to decentralize it to local land administrations, that process? Corrupt. Then they’re like, we have better GIS info, you should update.. guessed right again, corrupt! And when you call the Addis city admin to complain, they tell you to gather evidence!!!?!?! They expect 70 year old women to have concealed cameras and do a sting op. Anyways, it’s just unreal. I hope y’all don’t have to face this shit, and if your parents do, help them, because this is what’s shaving years off of their lives. Please help them.

I hate corruption. I hate it so much. I hate corrupt people, I hate people that pay bribes. I hate corruption being the status quo. I absolutely fucking hate it. Unfortunately part of adulthood in Ethiopia, apparently, is being ok with paying bribes. It’s akin to getting your drivers license or getting married. Not doing so is apparently naive. Fuck this

This is the US straight up telling the world their stance. Even if they build AGI (btw trained on dataset across the globe) they’re most likely not sharing it with us. የሰው ነገር የሰው ነው😏 That’s why we need our own models. More African/Ethiopian startups building AI infra. Depending on gatekeepers is always gonna put us in a disadvantage. @b1n1yamBuilds

I want to host something like this with some people that have telegram channels. Would be fun https://youtu.be/LP80Jrf2xrk?si=PyPra17_csO8IwLo

I hope this serves as a wake up call for all countries

Had the great pleasure of spending my day at Lemi Kura Land Administration. I’ve never seen such organized, efficient, honest, respectful staff. Kudos. I was skeptical at first, but I’m proud to report that all rumors about the place are unfounded. No corrupt officials in sight, as you can see from the video. Haters will say that this is sarcasm.
