Colorful illustration of people assembling the number 18 to celebrate an anniversary, with one person on a ladder placing the top circle and others holding the numbers, surrounded by balloons.

18 years ago today I released MindNode. I was so anxious I kept checking my email on WAP whenever I left the house, just in case something broke. 😊

It didn’t. Somehow MindNode is still here — independent, no outside funding, shaped by the people who use it.

Thank you for 18 years. 🎉

Vor 4 Jahren ließ Putin die Ukraine überfallen.
Sein „Erfolg“ seither: Sanktionen, 2 neue Nato-Mitglieder, 1.400 km neue Nato-Grenze, in der Ukraine die Kontrolle über Gebiete, die man zu 90% bereits kontrolliert hatte und eine Kriegsverbrecher-Anklage. Dafür starben ca. 200.000 russische Soldaten.

Ja - diese vorprogrammierten Abläufe sind beindruckend. Aber gleichzeitig können diese Roboter immer noch nicht vernünftig eine Spülmaschine ein und ausräumen oder die Wäsche zusammen falten. Das ist dann weniger beindruckend...

Left my MacBook behind in the hotel for the first time about ~16 minutes ago for this trip.

Feels weird, but deserved - happy my Macbook and me be reunited in about an hour… @saismo.at might be closer to finding his inner peace than me - or my MacBook is my inner peace? 😉🤣

Screenshot of the HacKit macOS app running on a Mac desktop. The app shows a three-pane layout with a sidebar of Hacker News categories on the left, a list of top stories in the centre and the selected story with comments on the right. The interface uses a light theme with orange highlights. The macOS menu bar and Dock are visible, indicating the app is active on the desktop.

Today marks HacKit’s 5th anniversary. My first macOS app published on Friday 22nd January 2021. It is a #HackerNews reader written in #Swift using #AppKit with no #SwiftUI. The name HacKit is a portmanteau of Hacker News and AppKit.

"Will Europe defend Greenland from US aggression?" is not something I thought I would be thinking about a year ago... US friends: we're allies! Whats going on here?

TIL: Xcode Cloud's runners still use x86_64 - an architecture we haven't been compiling our frameworks for, for 2+ years now... 😅

Just lost an hour of writing because Pages didn't auto save and crashed on me. Noticed how this used to be a very common thing while I working, happening multiple times a week. Now, I can't even remember when this last happened, must be years. We've come a long way.

Es steht schlecht um den Journalismus in Österreich. Sparzwänge und Konkurrenz von diversen Plattformen bringen kritischen Journalismus und eine gemeinsame Faktenbasis in Gefahr. Kobuk hält dagegen 👇

Selfie von Yilmaz Gülüm und mir, mit ca. 10 Studierenden vor ihren Laptops im Hintergrund

Dieses Selfie von @yilmazgulum.bsky.social und mir entstand 2018, in einer Kobuk-Lehrveranstaltung.

(Sorry, das wird kurz länger.)

Die Uni Wien fragte mich vor 15 Jahren, ob ich eine Journalismus-Lehrveranstaltung halten möchte - so entstand @kobuk.at, Österreichs einziger Medienwatchblog. 1/8
