Sicily is getting a massive solar farm that doubles as farmland. European Energy just broke ground on a 225.5MW agrivoltaic project that will power 135,000 homes while supporting sheep grazing and reforestation on the same land.
The facility will generate 405GWh annually, proving renewable energy and agriculture can thrive together.

European Energy begins work Italy’s 225.5MW agrivoltaic project
European Energy has broken ground on the 225.5MW agrivoltaic project near Vizzini, Sicily, marking it as Italy's largest and one of Europe's most significant agrivoltaic developments.

To see the butcher slap the steak, before he laid it on the block,
and give his knife a sharpening, was to forget breakfast instantly. It was
agreeable, too -- it really was -- to see him cut it off, so smooth and juicy.
There was nothing savage in the act, although the knife was large and keen;
it was a piece of art, high art; there was delicacy of touch, clearness of
tone, skilful handling of the subject, fine shading. It was the triumph of
mind over matter;…

Oatly is proving that regenerative agriculture isn't just a farm-level challenge—it's a corporate responsibility issue.
Their ambitious timeline: 30% of global supply regenerative by 2030, ramping to 100% by 2050. The key insight? Success requires corporate transparency and bringing farmers into decision-making, not just asking them to change practices.

The race to regenerate: Why the tipping point for nature positive agriculture is a business problem, not a farming problem
The agrifood system drives 30% of global emissions. Regenerative agriculture can fix that. So why hasn't it gone exponential yet?

Adobe fixes PDF zero-day security bug that hackers have exploited for months | TechCrunch
It's not clear how many people were compromised by this hacking campaign, but a security researcher said the hackers were targeting victims since at least November 2025.

📱 Die Bürger-App – eine gute Idee auf maroder Basis.
Kindergeld per App, KI-Assistent durch Formulare, alles digital. Klingt gut.
Das fundamentale Problem liegt nicht in der App, sondern im IT-Unterbau:
Deutschlands Verwaltungs-IT ist ein Flickenteppich in desolatem Zustand.
Dazu: Telekom und SAP ohne Ausschreibung beauftragt – dieselben Partner wie
bei der Corona-App. Das Ergebnis von damals ist bekannt.

Cornell researchers just solved a major agrivoltaics challenge: how to balance crops and solar panels in real-time.
Their new framework automatically adjusts panel angles based on weather patterns and crop needs—boosting energy while keeping plants healthy. It even works in cloudy climates, making solar-agriculture combos viable almost anywhere.

Plug-and-play control framework for adjusting panel tilt in agrivoltaics
A Cornell University research team developed a control framework that simultaneously considers past and future conditions when determining solar panel tilt angle. The researchers told pv magazine it is designed to be plug-and-play, allowing for software developers and solar operators to incorporate their optimization algorithms directly into the framework.

MIO: Memories in Orbit is one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve ever played. This is absolutely my favorite genre of game, and this one hits all the right notes for me.
I loved Silksong, but it leans very heavily into combat. To the point that, because of the difficulty, I probably won’t replay it much.
MIO, instead, leans much more into platforming. Though, paradoxically, it’s often platforming without the platforms; it’s more akin to fast-paced aerial acrobatics…

What the actual fuck.
I was already looking at an alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro to replace for my clients who need it, this is just fuel for the dumpster fire that is Adobe. https://mastodon.social/@marcedwards/116371577815792197

The odious SAVE act is written to target young people (new voters), women (changed names), renters (changed addresses), and people who are struggling to make ends meet / can't afford the time and aggravation.
All likely Democrats.
And it doesn't solve any real problem.
