Maxim Röder wrote that he sees no long-term reasons for concern about ServiceNow and has already explained his assessment in detail this year. Corporations do not only buy software, but also certifications, liability, support guarantees, audit trails, and a data model that has received millions of customizations over the years. Therefore, the switching barrier is very high. According to Röder, a clone created with Vibe Coding does not offer these safeguards. In case of errors in productive operation, the liability question arises, and no CIO will risk their neck for that. Additionally, large corporations have different approval processes, security standards, and regulatory requirements than small companies. According to Röder, ServiceNow positions itself as a deeply integrated platform that connects various AI models and data sources and orchestrates processes in companies securely. For investors, the question is not whether AI scripts will replace enterprise software, but how quickly and effectively ServiceNow will monetize new AI licenses. #Software #KI #ServiceNow (translated)

According to Parlon, the monitoring of investigated groups and police cooperation are also necessary to dismantle these criminal organizations, as demonstrated by the case in Cabanes, involving seven detainees who had hidden the drugs among legal merchandise inside a trailer, with an estimated value exceeding 16 million euros in the illegal market. #TráficoDeDrogas #Marihuana #SeguridadPública (translated)

Matias Turkkila said that the trailer for the movie *Me and Riikka Purra* had been released. He mentioned he was excited to see what events related to the True Finns had made it into the actual film. According to Turkkila, director Liisa Akimof had spent six months with Riikka Purra and the True Finns starting in August 2025. He relayed a description of the film, which portrayed it as a fast-paced and at times humorous do-it-yourself documentary. It followed an idealistic green-leftist through the mundane aspects of politics at a shooting range, in parliament, in Brussels, and in town squares. The description noted that the film dealt with crises and featured anti-fascists, leftists, and a lonely cultured bourgeoisie while highlighting the media's tendency to grind down issues. https://t.co/oWtJErH4ze #elokuva #dokumentti #politiikka (translated)

Bojan Požar wrote that while the Dance Parade was "freezing" in southern Crete, he was enjoying himself in sunny Pašman. He participated in the 25-kilometer Archipelago Trail Run, for which he needed a good three and a half hours and burned 2000 calories, then he swam in the 23-degree sea. Although the journey from Ljubljana is long, he felt that the visit was worth it. He added that the Adriatic is most beautiful at this time, when the weather is pleasant, there are few tourists and crowds, and the taverns are open. #Pašman #Kreta #Jadran (translated)
