- If you’re building browser into your wallet app (looking at you @lens/rainbow) and you omit share sheet integration, you’re making a huge mistake.
I end up using @lens/zerion for almost everything I do because of this easy to overlook feature.
- I finally completed Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. That last castle is a doozy and the final boss is crazy.
I overlooked this game back when it came out and that was a big mistake. Capcom’s contributions to the Zelda series are incredible and this is now a serious competitor for my favourite Zelda title of all.

- turns out eclipses are actually pretty dope
- I just claimed my $BONSAI reward on @lens/orb!
- pinned to profile 📌
- We just crossed 200,000 new signups on Lens! But there’s only 2000 editions of my commemorative NFT “Welcome to the Garden”
1000 editions on Lens
1000 editions of Zora
Two different artworks!
That’s a seriously scarce collectible
- I’ve rewritten an old post of mine from 2022 to reflect where I’m at in my journey as a creator in the ever-evolving world of web3.
This update includes tons of new verbiage, a brand new visual, and a much lower priced collectible on @lens/base

- Nice! I was able to connect and confirm that I sent bonsai to my Orb wallet, which shows connected, then when I click mint it says disconnected 🤷♂️ idk maybe it's just another sign I need to finally give up on MM
- now that @lens/orb supports collects I’ll bump this post. when @lens/lens went permissionless I created two capped supply collectibles called “Welcome to the Garden” a Lens Edition and a Zora edition, each with different artwork. So far the Zora edition is winning in terms of collects.
Unfortunately $BONSAI collects wasn’t a thing yet when I created this post.
- so stoked about this. finally did some housekeeping and secured my ENS on a ledger, plus made that ledger into a subdomain called vault.
then my friend made this dope custom art for me and my translucent purple nano x
- Moved my ENS to cold storage but set the manager to my hot wallet. Love that this is possible.
I think someone said I can do this with Lens profile right? Can someone direct me to instructions for how?

We’ll also draw connections between a year of my writing on ways blockchains can help achieve protopian pro-social outcomes.

- I think we should abandon the term “monopoly on violence” which implies that we want a lot of competing violence, and replace it with “impunity to commit violence”
Thus the problem with the government is they have “impunity to commit violence” while any self-defence is punished. Thoughts?

- Instagram just quietly enabled an ambiguous automated “political content” block. You have to opt out by going to:
Settings
↳ Suggested Content
↳ Political Content
→ toggle from “Limit” to “Don’t Limit”
Things are getting real ugly in web2.
- **Setting the terms on how your social content is used:**
ICYMI @lens/hey on @lens/lens launched creator licenses for collectible social content.
With three license types to choose from - CC0, commercial use, and personal use - creators posting on Hey now have more options to set more terms on:
✅ Ownership of their social content;
✅ Control over its usage;
✅ Future attribution and revenue sharing
Introduced initially with the v2 protocol metadata update for app developers, it establishes initial on-chain metadata licensing standards across the Lens ecosystem.
This marks a first step towards a future of programmable, composable, and ownership-friendly social media. Vital for the future of remix-able co-creation of content and creativity.
We're excited to continue innovating in this are of the social space with partners such as @lens/storyprotocol , https://twitter.com/TripsCreators and more.
- 35 holders so far of Welcome to the Garden, my “Lens is now permissionless” commemorative collectible.

- Damn, @lens/family is really nice. Some thoughts:
The animations are great. And everything is in very intutive places. Also liked the language at signup to understand how an EOA wallet works.
Needs dark mode.
Tabbed browsing with choice of search engine is awesome! Needs Brave search as an option though, please.
The XMTP support is excellent.
Biggest issue: Needs more currency support asap. I’m in Canada and wallets that only show USD are not going to be something I can use.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.
He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.”
