Yeah this time I was struggling with the sky but sky is the limit! 🚀 - Hi I am a gamedev and I document my challenge of making a game in 30 days and releasing it on steam. Hopefully I can inspire others being confident and showing their work online.

💗 Hey Tribers! Since it's Monday Tribe Market, I’d love to introduce you to something I’ve been building: N.O.V.A. NOVA is a long-term project exploring a different future for technology — one where people have more control over their digital lives, their knowledge, and the tools they depend on. 🌍 What can NOVA bring to the table? 🔐 Digital Sovereignty Exploring local-first technology that helps people retain greater control over their data, tools, and digital environments. 🧠 Knowledge & AI Support Building toward a more structured way to organize knowledge, preserve context, and make AI-assisted work more consistent and useful over time. 🛠️ Practical Technology & Systems Thinking Helping explore complex problems, identify dependencies, structure workflows, and evaluate open-source technologies with a focus on long-term sustainability. 🌿 Regenerative Thinking Looking beyond endless consumption and platform dependency toward technology that supports autonomy, collaboration, resilience, and human well-being. 🤝 Collaboration & Exploration I'm interested in connecting with people who care about open-source innovation, local AI, digital independence, community resilience, and building technology that serves people rather than the other way around. ✨ Where are we today? NOVA is actively evolving from a structured vision into a more complete technical ecosystem. Some foundations are already in place; other capabilities remain under development. I'm committed to distinguishing what works today from what we're still building. 💫 Who could benefit from connecting with NOVA? • Creators and independent thinkers seeking greater digital autonomy • Open-source developers and local-AI enthusiasts • Communities exploring more resilient, human-centered systems • People interested in ethical technology and regenerative innovation • Potential collaborators who believe technology should empower rather than control I'm not here to sell another platform that tells you how to live. I'm exploring how we can build tools that give people more freedom to decide for themselves.

Skip to about 1 min 15 if you don't want to listen to the Afrikaans introduction 🤗 This was a Boeremusiek competition from my young days on national television in 1986. The organ that the guy is playing at about 2 min 25 is the kind of organ that I was my first instrument my mother sent me for classes on when I was about 5 years old. Just like the guitar I learnt to play at about the age of about 11. I never mastered any of these instruments, I only fiddled with them. My voice has always been my instrument of choice. This is the kind of music they would play on weddings and dance the night away, no vocals. When the sun rises the next morning , the breakfast drinks are still flowing 😂 Appreciate where it comes from and enjoy. I dare you to mix a piece like this one day @Rositsa Aleksandrova 😂😂😂😂 https://youtu.be/6vyeqFzw_AY?si=uO3G7ywlvRoGf7gZ

I remember the 1990s and 2000s, when people talked a lot about pyramid schemes, promises of wealth, and business models that enriched a few people at the top while everyone else helped keep the machine running. Today, I find myself asking a different question. Have we really changed the way we think about the economy, or have we simply learned to make it invisible behind our screens? Look at our digital lives. Our subscriptions, software licenses, cloud storage, communication tools, work platforms, and artificial intelligence services… Individually, each subscription may seem affordable. But add them up over a year, then over ten years. How much of our money leaves our local economy to support companies whose decisions, priorities, and interests lie somewhere else? And the monthly price is only the beginning. What happens when a provider raises its prices, changes its licensing terms, restricts a feature, or modifies its terms of service? What happens when our data, workflows, contacts, and daily activities become so deeply embedded in a platform that leaving becomes difficult, expensive, or practically impossible? The real cost isn't just what we pay. It's also the freedom of choice we lose. This is where digital sovereignty becomes an economic issue. When a community depends on providers it doesn't control, it becomes vulnerable to their business decisions. Switching costs, proprietary licenses, data transfer fees, and technical dependencies can gradually limit our options. Some of the value created through our work, our data, and our spending can be captured elsewhere instead of contributing directly to the development of our own communities. Meanwhile, local businesses must also pay to access these tools, sometimes without having the bargaining power to negotiate better terms. I'm not suggesting that every foreign provider is bad, or that cloud services offer no value. These services can be useful and even essential. But why do we so readily accept dependence on systems whose rules, evolution, and long-term costs we don't fully control?
