Tjeerd RoyaardsI’m in Belgium on a work-related trip; first time I had the chance to pick up a printed copy of Belgian newspaper De Morgen since I started working for them.
I know print is dying, but seeing your cartoons in ink on actual paper is still something special :)
European CommissionTwo continents. One strong partnership 🇪🇺🤝🇦🇺
After almost a decade of work, we concluded the EU–Australia Free Trade Agreement. A win on both sides.
The agreement will:
🌍 boost EU exports to Australia, with growth of 33% expected over the next decade
🌍 save €1 billion in tariffs
🌍 create new opportunities for businesses and farmers
🌍 strengthen cooperation on critical raw materials, security and defence, and research
A relationship built for the long term.

nixCraft 🐧Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/

zeldmanAbandon the em-dash in your human writing?
The irony—and it’s a big irony—is that real writers use em-dash frequently, and for reasons. As a written signifier of verbal speech pauses, it means something different than what commas and semicolons mean. It connects while separating.
That’s why so many writers use em-dash when it is the best mark for the job. And chatbots use it because they were schooled on millions of writers.

Charo del Genio@benroyce last Sunday and yesterday, Italy had a constitutional referendum. The vote was about a change to some articles concerning the justice system and the separation of powers. I won't get into details here, unless someone asks, but the thing is that the government wanted these amendments to be approved. Others, me included, were against them. The feeling was widespread that it would be useless to go to vote because the amendments would surely be approved. I was pessimistic about it myself. Nonetheless, and surprisingly, the turnout was massive, especially amongst young people. And guess what? We won! (For the record, I voted early by mail.) Also, given the turnout, the government can't even make up any excuses.
Your turn now. 😎
