On that occasion, the 1913 "Colour Study" by Wassily Kandinsky, one of my favourite painters and, yes, a teacher at Bauhaus (until the end, i.e. until 1933).26 Jun 2026 11:13 +0000at://did:plc:poswtbcixj6nqbkt3q5hcutl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp6stgyonk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/bwidla.bsky.social/post/3mo4ndo3a7c2qWhat happens to software copyright (in the EU) if agents take over?

I am at the same time proud of myself (and the scholarly terror I've constructed), afraid noone will get the reference, and amazed how cheezy the sentence is.06 Feb 2026 11:47 +0000at://did:plc:poswtbcixj6nqbkt3q5hcutl/app.bsky.feed.post/3me6thtrarc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/bwidla.bsky.social/post/3mc5xwimfxk2hPrzeczytałem w końcu zostawiony tydzień temu "w zakładkach na później" tekst @benstanley.eu i bardzo polecam.

Crystal blue lakes in Greenland turning brown and becoming CO2 sources, not sinks. Just like that, abruptly. But yeah, let's keep worrying about "competitiveness" and "red tape". https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.241385512229 Jan 2025 17:49 +0000at://did:plc:poswtbcixj6nqbkt3q5hcutl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgvjrqos4k23
