Most Captchas are a pain and often designed with no UX in mind. I love the simplicity of this one. Though I'm wondering if a machine could not easily pass this test 😅

Here's another win of German bureaucracy vs democracy. Those campaigns didn't fail because of insufficient support (as the conservatives claim). They failed because they forced people to go around the city with -10° to collect signatures on a paper sheet. www.the-berliner.com/berlin/car-f...

Car-free and ad-free campaigns fail - The Berliner

The Berlin autofrei initiative managed to get 140,000 signatures, falling short of the required 175,000.

After living in Germany for 12+ years, last month I finally became a German citizen! 🇩🇪 🎉 If you're an expat thinking about applying, or just curious what the process looks like from the inside, read the full story here 👇 pierluigirufo.medium.com/the-ux-of-be...

This is cool. That means Berliners will soon have the possibility to promote a referendum for banning private cars from the city centre. Looking forward to putting my signature on the initiative! 💚

Since I moved to Berlin my dream was to make our yearly family trip to Italy by train. Unfortunately the European railway network is quite broken with no direct connection to date. I love the vision and mission of @noxmobility.bsky.social. I'm really hoping to take one of their trains one day!

As a big fan of Miyazaki's work, I aways considered Studio Ghibli's animation movies as fine art masterpieces, capable of arouse deep emotions through beautiful stories, for both kids and adults. Seeing now the internet turning their instagram photos into "Ghibli style" is just disgusting..

Happy to see so many people in Rome rallying for Europe and the European dream 💙🇪🇺 A clear message to the Italian government to stop playing games and clearly choose a side.

"34% of respondents consider Russia an ally, or at least friendly." These folks must have been living on the moon for the last 80 years.

An alliance like NATO only works if its members share the same vision and values. It's pretty clear that the US has abandoned all democratic values and it's on the path to becoming an authoritarian regime. It's time for Europe to step up and start walking alone. No more delays, no more excuses.

If there's still an opposition in the US, speak up, get organized, go on the streets, show the world that American people don't accept an autoritatian bully as president, show that you still care about democratic values. Take action today, tomorrow could be too late.

"Solar panels collecting energy in the space, running 24/7 and without any interference from the Earth’s atmosphere." 🤯 Even though it sounds very futuristic, this is a much better vision than any carbon capture concept I've heard so far. www.iflscience.com/three-gorges...

"The energy collected in one year would be equivalent to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth."
