Tinkering with #JavaFX a bit and just tried the StageStyle.UTILITY on #macOS. The window controls are so funnily arranged, I think I like it. 😀

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop — That Privacy Guy!

Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.

That Privacy Guy!

Why is Mastodon the best social medium in 2026?

Picture 1: If I share a post with some objectively good news, it gets 97 boosts and 140 likes.

Picture 2: If I share the same post on Threads, it gets zero interactions — zero! — because it contains a link to the competing social medium YouTube, and on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg has decided that the algorithm should not promote such content.

Threads is where the rich decide what we can talk about.

On Mastodon, we decide.

Grüne im Bundestag 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈Apr 10

Am Sonntag wählt Ungarn – und Orbán wird immer nervöser! Partnerschaften mit Trump und Putin, Korruption, staatliche Propaganda und Einschränkungen von Medien und Justiz prägten die Politik Orbáns in den letzten 16 Jahren. Auch in der EU blockiert Orbán wichtige Entscheidungen.

If I worked in the marketing department at Mentos, i would convince them to package irregularly shaped ones in random flavors and colors and sell them as Dementos, the evil cousin of Mentos.

As teams use AI tools to generate high-fidelity prototypes, the focus shifts to output instead of purpose.

Prototyping should be about testing ideas and learning what actually works before building.
