I just realized that I never shared the footage from Livorno earlier this year.

For Instagram, my art is "Likely made with AI". Hard to be an artist in 2026...
A wild #Plushtodon appears at #EMFCamp!
@gargron , you need to come here in 2028.
'Good morning', said Pud the black and white cat.
I have, after two years, allowed myself to talk about my experiences with AI madness again, this time with the benefit of speaking to people all around the world, including Fortune 500 executives. This one is on my regular blog for casual readers, and cross-posted to the company blog if you need to share this with someone and have it look official.

There now is a poll plugin for #WordPress that has full #Fediverse support.
Since a few minutes it is finally officially available on WordPress.org.

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for support the initial development of this piece of software. And thanks to @pfefferle for his ongoing work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin @activitypub.blog !
I am happy to receive reviews and am ready to fix stuff in case issues should arise!
Got myself a Thinkpad on Ebay. I installed Ubuntu on it. Happy with it so far! Iris likes it too! #Thinkpad #Plushtodon
I just realized that I've been using adblock so consistently, for so long, that I have basically no idea what the average person's experience of the internet is like.
Every now and then I use someone else's device that isn't so locked down. And I'm floored by how useless and annoying the internet is. IDK how people do this.
It's the third time I am receiving what I can only generously assume to be an automated e-mail from #WSocial trying to convince me, the original founder (and still active advisor and proponent) of one of their competitors, to start posting on their platform.
![A screenshot of an e-mail with the subject "We'd love to invite you to W" that reads:
"Hi Eugen,
I've been following your work around Mastodon gGmbH.
When we started discussing which creators should help shape the next chapter of W, your name came up immediately.
Over the past few weeks, we've welcomed Europe's leading public institutions, political leaders and major media organisations to W—including the European Commission, European Parliament, European Council, European Central Bank, President Ursula von der Leyen, Christine Lagarde, António Costa, as well as media organisations such as Der Spiegel, Blick, WELT, Heise and AFP.
Our next focus is Culture.
Rather than simply inviting creators to join another social platform, we're inviting a small group of creators, filmmakers, artists, musicians, athletes, authors and public voices to help shape what W becomes.
I've attached a short overview explaining our vision and what we're building together.
If this resonates with you, I'd be delighted to personally help you get started and hear your thoughts.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
We'd love to invite you to W
All the best,
