Mit so radikalen Aktionen wird das Klima absolut nichts erreichen. --Christoph Dolna-Gruber
The new Wagtail 5.1 release broke the video and audio choosers in django-cast so there's a new release 0.2.17 that fixes that. While I was at it, I also added some more documentation for the video and audio features. Lots of distractions this week with school and kindergarten stuff, but hopefully things will pick up soon 😅.
Last week I picked up a musical instrument for the first time in over two years. I hadn't been able to play before because I just didn't have the time. Now I'm thinking about getting back into the habit.

Mit smarter Planwirtschaft gegen die Probleme unserer Zeit Sein und Streit
Oh boy. Why are people from the humanities often so naive and sloppy with their terms? Especially AI? And how could you call yourself a journalist if you don't manage to ask one critical question when your interview partner constantly makes fringe claims? A really low point.
