Scratch “DUSTBINNING” prominent Speakers. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints. Here is a copy of my Statement that they deleted today!

The Chick-fil-a in my town in more Christian than some churches. I’m dead serious. I walked in and immediately saw almost everyone there was from some Christian community. And there’s just people reading the Bible at tables.

THIS is the Rubicon?? You’re pretending it was impressive that Caesar crossed this? I could probably jump across. 😤

Every. Single. Video Compression app on the play store SUCKS, which is why I created Compressor!

  • Faster than every single compression app on the Play Store. Period.

  • Uses native Media3 API, not another slow, bulky FFMpeg wrapper

  • No third party libraries

  • No invasive permissions (no storage, no internet etc)

  • Ad free

  • Super lightweight (< 10MB)

  • Completely native Kotlin (no React Native slop here)

  • Works on Android 7.0 and up

Compared to the first non-sponsored search result for “video compressor” on the Play Store, Panda Video Compressor, with over 10 million downloads, Compressor is 117x faster. When tested on my Pixel 8 Pro compressing a 200MB 4K video down to 1080p30 with the Medium preset in both apps, Compressor took only 11 seconds, Panda took almost 22 minutes.

Furthermore, using the highly optimised native Media3 API, Compressor is able to compress that same 200MB video down to just 2.2MB at 720p30, with virtually no difference in quality on a 6” phone screen.

I don’t currently have $25 USD to sign up for a Google Play Console account, so you can get Compressor completely free from GitHub releases (or build it yourself with Android Studio) at https://github.com/JoshAtticus/Compressor/releases/latest

If you like Compressor, please also consider donating even just a few dollars so I can get it onto the Play Store! I will never paywall features or put ads in the app. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joshatticus

I just had an idea. A lot of people support urban mobility with things like bicycles and scooters. That’s a great idea, but often the weather is too bad to ride a bike, and many people just physically can’t. And it is often hard to carry things on those vehicles.

So I propose we make a new vehicle, a little bigger than a bike and fully enclosed with air conditioning. Powered by electricity or even some kind of fuel. Maybe even with enough space for friends to ride with you, to save money or just for fun. Build new transit corridors that are open to these, funded buy taxes from buying these vehicles and from buying electricity or fuel to power them. They can lock so you don’t need a bike lock or anything like that. Each location you arrive at could have an area for storing them.

You can arrive precisely at your location without having to walk, unlike most public transit. It is still open to the public, but it is more private. And you don’t have to worry about weather or your strength. I’m currently tendering funding to launch a pilot project for this. Open to any thoughts on this project, let me know what you think in the comments!

Here is a concept of my idea:

A little history lesson: the American people declared independence for a number of reasons. One of their problems was "depriving [them] in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury”. Basically not letting them have jury trials.

Fast forward to 2026, the UK government is considering scrapping jury trials. Reality really is funnier than fiction.

I’ve always wanted to live in a place like Jersey or Sark, or Washington Island Wisconsin where I could run and bike all over the island. It would be really cool.

I actually love ishowspeed’s Africa stream series. I think Africa is really neglected and I’m glad he’s showing it to the world
