@antonsten Haha! Well, I removed the app and stopped interacting in January 2025 but never removed the account. I was on twitter since they launched at SXSW basically, and was pretty active in the space for a few years. So those followers are from years back.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.

“Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.

“It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said.

Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

I am so excited for color functions and the future of color on the web that I made a plugin that brings the power of CSS color-mix() into @figma. Generate variables, swatches, gradients and solid fills in various color spaces. The plugin is on the Figma community, code is open source.

@enckelli My eight year old is completely blasé about generating artwork with Midjourney. I guess when you're that age everything is a similar level of magic.

Hej! How are things? 👋

Mario Draghi’s report on the future of European competitiveness comes at a critical time. I’ve thought a lot about our ambitions and what’s at stake and couldn’t agree more when he describes Europe as facing “an existential challenge.” 3 things I found especially interesting and look forward to helping tackle:

1. European Tech Success: “There is no EU company with a market capitalisation over EUR 100 billion that has been set up from scratch in the last fifty years, while all six US companies with a valuation above EUR 1 trillion have been created in this period.”

2. Rising Productivity Gap: “Europe is lagging in the breakthrough digital technologies that will drive growth in the future. Around 70% of foundational AI models have been developed in the US since 2017 and just three US “hyperscalers” account for over 65% of the global as well as of the European cloud market.” (Mark Zuckerberg and I recently highlighted the challenges around this in The Economist here: https://t.co/r48I1YP1CC )

3. Brain Drain: “Between 2008 and 2021, close to 30% of the “unicorns” founded in Europe – startups that went on to be valued over USD 1 billion – relocated their headquarters abroad, with the vast majority moving to the US.”

Hope you’ll take a look at the full report: https://t.co/CTbB1Q5pyC

Hello @calm 👋

Would it be possible to set daily reminders for programmes like these? I’d like to get a notification each day until the programme is complete.

TIL Prettier is considering making tabs the default in 3.0. This is huge — it would make an entire set of programming languages more accessible (if you're somehow still pro-spaces, read this comment to instantly convert), and, more importantly, vindicate my personal preferences

@brad_frost Tehanu by Ursula K Leguin. Teached me about coming to terms with heritage, facing prejudice and navigating the path of life with humanity and compassion. Reading the first three Earthsea novels is recommended for depth.

@sarah_federman Had to look that up, found a podcast, and learned I’m definitely maybe 75% cheugy most of the time 😌
