Wow, I just stumbled on Netherwalker's latest album. This is hauntingly beautiful. I love the combination of symphonic sound with technical deathcore. Close your eyes and give this an honest listen. #music

I'm excited to finally see an alpha release of @kagi.com's Orion browser for Linux. Looking forward to seeing that get developed more. Kagi search is very good and their engineering culture reminds me of early Google. Highly recommended.

Today I learned Austria is not part of NATO.
Another great Putin success: Austria is reconsidering its long-standing neutrality and discussing joining NATO.
Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger said neutrality no longer guarantees Austria's security.
