• Following up on our long running theme of things that will eventually make work redundant, here's GitHub Copilot, the AI powered development tool getting a lot of love shares some stats on how efficient it is.
• Dynamic Island, Apple's shoutout to the island bros, is making its round. Everyone can hear face palms from the R&D hallways of every pill-pushing phone maker out there. It may be one of those "why didn't we think of that" moments, but it also may be the start of a larger roadmap for Apples overall XR direction. Proof of Concept explains it better. Pro tip, read this journal backwards and just click the links. Here's what you're looking for.
• Patagonia has heart, it's been proven and discussed many times over. Read this piece from NYT on how its founder no longer can count himself as a billionaire. He's given the whole circus over to an organisation that seriously wants to make the world a better place. Kudos.

• On a mission to save the government a lot of toner budget, Forskningsrådet is rebranding and sending 38 sub brands to the shredder. It's also causing the old debate on government spending, and some are also trying to gather what's up with this two year old rebrand.
• Material.io is out with COLRv1, introducing colour palettes, gradients and more goodness.
