Illustrator is so broken these days. It regularly gets the mouse pointer position wrong, selecting the object next to the one I’m actually hovering over. 😕 The same goes for InDesign, which just shows a gray screen instead of my document whenever I unplug my external display to work in another room.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

I really feel for my English friends. I still remember Euro ‘96, when “Three Lions” came out. Thirty years of hurt already felt like a lot. But now … it’s 60?!? 😳

“There’s a small but growing body of research–some of it from Google’s own researchers–exploring exactly how ads could work inside LLM-generated output. And the ideas are as fascinating as they are unsettling.” @matthiasott.com matthiasott.com/notes/ad-inf...

Ich erinnere daran, dass wir das stabile Klima des Holozäns (der letzten 10.000 Jahre) längst hinter uns gelassen haben. Ich forsche seit den 1990er Jahren zum Paläoklima. Ich kann nur dringend empfehlen, jetzt eine Notbremsung bei der fossilen Energienutzung zu machen! Für unsere Kinder. Bitte.

Das stabile Holozän-Klima, in dem Homo Sapiens die Landwirtschaft erfunden & Städte gebaut hat, haben wir in atemberaubenden Tempo hinter uns gelassen. spiegel.de/wissenschaft... Was wir jetzt tun, bestimmt für die nächsten Jahrtausende unser Schicksal. #Europawahl ist #Klimawahl.

We had a very special weekend. Two concerts with a 15-year-old assistant concertmaster ❤️ and his violin, surrounded by an orchestra of talented young musicians, all playing together at a level that was pure joy to watch – and hear! ☺️

Interior of the Stadthalle Korntal: empty red audience chairs face an arrangement of orchestra chairs and music stands on the floor in front of a closed stage, under a dark angular ceiling lit by starburst LEDs.

In 2025, Chancellor Merz described EV’s as a technology that might not be market-ready - by 2030. (Kaiser Wilhelm: “I believe in the horse. The automobile is a temporary phenomenon.”) www.reuters.com/en/merz-reje...
