If you were excited for Android’s big Material 3 redesign, hold that thought. It’s not landing with Android 16—at least not yet. What users are getting instead may just be a renamed feature drop. The polish will have to wait till fall.

Lilbits: 3rd-party SteamOS devices, the new Pebble 2 smartwatch processor, and Sony is still making flagship phones with headphone jacks
Most modern smartphones have big screens, fast processors, and excellent cameras. One thing they don’t usually have? Headphone jacks. That’s a feature that’s still common on budget phones and some mid-range models, but most premium phone makers have gone all-in on wireless audio (or USB-C dongles).
Sony’s latest flagship bucks the trend. Not only does it have a headphone jack, but the Sony […]

Google #MaterialDesign v3 finally eliminates its terrible “innovative” “on-puts” in favor of traditional “inputs.” Today is a good day for usability.

I'm finally starting to think about actually building this... The only way I know how to build an #Android app though is to use #Godot, so now I'm learning what I can about fonts, themes, UI, etc. And also #MaterialDesign.
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live, but boring. Yes, the cycles run and run, yes 9 new apps are now included, yes 138 more updated. But as things go, with unattended updates, it's all background noise.
What's special? It's the week of UI rewrites:
* #Auxio got #MaterialDesign
* #BadgeMagic is now #Flutter powered
* #Spotube is now #shadcn UI themed

- Material 3:
Actualización de componentes a Material Design 3, con énfasis en diseño moderno y accesibilidad. 
Componentes adaptativos y accesibles. #MaterialDesign
Aunque sinceramente los breaking changes de material son bastante altos y en mi caso no he podido sacar tiempo para migrar esto, mas que nada porque ya tenía un sistema de overrides sobre material 2 theme.
Los componentes igualmente se ven mucho mas pulidos y aprovechan la librería de material web components.
Hmm, I must really like the Material Design language, or at least I'm a bit nostalgic for the older versions of it. Check out this screenshot of my desktop using the Materia Dark theme, but with the default Fedora Mate 41 wallpaper... I'd love to know if the use of Roboto is obvious or not. Sorry to my visually impaired followers, as trying to give this an extermely detailed description is a bit difficult. #Fedora #Mate #GTKThemes #MaterialDesign #MateriaDark
REVISIT ~ earth:work
How can the materials we choose and how we develop them define and influence care and maintenance in architecture?
By exploring the process and potential of rammed earth as a spatial element and its relation to the human body we wanted to investigate how the action of care can be continuously applied in the context of the domestic interior.
We initiated the process by unfolding the different domains of care. We investigated care in terms of the tectonic, practical and phenomenological aspect through the act of building to the finished object with an intent of continuous care and maintenance throughout the objects lifetime.
This is a visual montage of the different steps and explorations throughout the process of creating two spatial sections of a interior wall. And developing a maintenance scheme as an act of radical care.
earth:work was a collaborative project developed together with Emilie Schleppegrel, Hedda Klar and Constantin Scholz.

REVISIT ~ MAKER UN:MAKER
The educational observatory in Remiseparken. A simple typology developed through a vernacular approach.
The project have had a continuous point of departure in soil both at a material, social and environmental level. I've explored the human-soil relations through the act of building and soil as a mediator between nature-culture.
The interior is closed of to create a space for immersion and learning whereas the exterior and the sorrounding environment create intimate exploration zones which are less programmatic and more likely to be inhabited and appropriated by its users.
Rendered in Blender, post-edit in Photoshop.
