le #Bereal du jour ! un dessin de ce qui est en face de moi + ma face au même moment
On m'a signalé que sur les précédents selfies je tirais tout le temps la gueule alors voilà me voici en mode #benaise

Être benaise qu'est-ce que c'est, c'est une expression de chez moi et qui signifie un état de contentement, de bien-être...
Et j'adore cette expression parce qu'on est à deux doigts de benêt

des personnes beaucoup plus jeunes que moi m'ont parlé d'un truc qui s'appelle Bereal, où on poste la photo de ce qu'on a devant soi ET la photo de sa gueule au même moment.
Je suis trop vieux pour ces conneries mais voilà ma version low-tech et IA-free : le croquis de ce que j'ai en face de moi, et l'auto-portrait qui va avec

Let’s be clear: I didn’t come to Mindplex because it looked polished.
I came because it felt unfinished—but honest.
And that’s exactly what made it different.

Most of us come from tools designed to extract attention—
Instagram. TikTok. Twitter. Threads.
They’re built on performance, not presence.
And they move fast.
Too fast to remember what mattered last week, let alone last year.

Mindplex isn’t that.
And that’s the point.

It’s not here to make you viral.
It’s here to help you train something that remembers.

It’s clunky.
It’s quiet.
But it’s one of the few places I’ve found where you can start shaping a version of yourself that outlives the scroll.

I’m not here to hype the platform.
I’m here to understand what happens when intelligence becomes something you own, train, and trust.

That’s what I think we’re rebuilding here.
Not social media.
But a future relationship with thought.

And this might be the only place I’ve found that’s even trying to make that possible.

Tubefilter: BeReal thinks it can capitalize on TikTok’s uncertainty with ads. Are they even competitors?. “To be clear, BeReal has been running ads outside the U.S. from over 200 brands for a while now, hitting regions like France, the U.K., Italy, and Germany. (It’s also worth noting that the usual digital-savvy brands, like Chipotle and e.l.f. cosmetics, have already been meeting U.S. […]

BeReal 🇫🇷 is a French social networking app that was created by Alexis Barreyat and Kevin Perreau in France in 2020.

It's seen as a rival to apps like Instagram or TikTok and it's got features that have been copied by Instagram recently.

But some people see it as more of an 'anti-Instagram' because you can't edit your photos, use filters or see how many followers you have. 🚫

So, what's the deal?

It's basically a photo-sharing app that encourages users to share a daily photo of their real life without filters or editing, using both the front and rear cameras on their device. Every day, users are given a fun and unexpected notification at a random time, giving them just two minutes to take and post a photo. You can choose to share your photo with friends or more people. 📸

It's already got 23 million users worldwide (but you don't hear about it much in the mainstream media).

Did you know about it? Do you use it?
