This beautiful couple of a Ugandan man and a South African shows how Luganda and Zulu languages reflect shared African cultural richness.
The spirit of xenophobia, shaped by the long-term effects of apartheid, can only be broken by the realization that Africa is one.
Love Jinja for its slow living and preservation of the natural environment. This is Rd to the Jinja show grounds
A property with a giant Candlenut tree (Kabaka Anjagala) standing at the entrance. They chose not to cut it down. Now it provides a natural canopy over the gate, shielding visitors from the harsh sun and giving the askari a cool place. Designing with nature is the ultimate luxury
chatGPT is currently the 3rd most visited website in Uganda.
However, most organizations are not restructuring their processes for the AI agentic era even though their employees are already using AI.

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

Countries that reduced mob justice (India, Kenya, South Africa) did three things:
1. Fast‑response community police within 10 minutes of every village.
2. Public execution of mob leaders (deterrent effect is real).
3. Compensation funds for victims’ families paid by the local district – creates pressure on leaders to prevent mobs.
Uganda has none of these.
We have arrests. We have outrage. We have another funeral.
Then we repeat.
Until we copy what works, mob justice will kill more Sydneys.
Retweet if you’ve had enough.
The AI craze and vibe coding are making a lot of people realize something: the hard part was never getting the idea coded. Building a commercially successful digital product takes far more than code.
