Mad respect for Eugen. Imagine a world where the CEOs of social media platforms regularly stepped aside when they realized they weren't cut out for the job.

Sentita per caso qualche giorno fa su Radio3, ritrovata e ascoltata tipo 10 volte di fila stanotte. Meravigliosa, eterea, sghemba, indefinibile.

"And I know I’m a collaboration
Bacteria, carbon and light
A florid orchestration
A recipe of fortune and time
Yeah, it's a lot to take in
When I try I see a short word"

(Still in love with The Beths, from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa, and pop gems that shine even brighter played acoustic)

Telling people who are against plundering the environment, theft, plagiarism and labor exploitation that they are doing this complaining because they haven't "invested" in using tools based on such exploitation is quite ridiculous isn't it?

Stéphanie's picks are always amazing.

@tostoini.it have a look! It has your name all over it. 🙂
I love creatives projects like that mushroom color atlas. Julie Beeler experimented with dyeing with mushrooms and documented a whole giant color palette, with instructions for each type about the specific process.

There’s no such thing as inaccessible colors. It’s all about combinations. Yes, even yellow! And Purple.
I built 6 WCAG-tested palettes, and share my process in a full tutorial (with video) to prove it.

Friends, this is a veeeery long shot but does anyone know if and where I can acquire paper copies of net magazine? I know it's been out of print for years, but I'm wondering if it might still be possible to get a copy of two or three of its issues from 10 years ago. 🥹

@bsky.app has not yet verified @alistapart.com, we suppose because they’ve got bigger fish to fry first. We guess that at least some members of the Bluesky team learned their craft from us and trust that they’ll get around to verifying us sooner or later. Reshare if you care.

Setting aside the ethical and environmental concerns of AI, I'm really offended by a bunch of elite dudes telling us our minds aren't good enough when they've had to steal everything human minds have created to create their pretend mind and it doesn't even work right!
