I’m waiting for my plugin to be approved by @figma.com. Figma’s gradient feature often results in flat designs, making depth effects difficult. However, the gradient spline feature allows for custom lines and random color generation, with editable color values for a desired palette.

Every few years, we sign up for yet another platform just to keep in touch with our friends. Private platforms have locked users in for too long, causing a lack of innovation & competition in social media.

I reposted this before, but actually, on re-read, I think this framing is bullshit. The Ars story is uncharacteristically credulous, citing a Reuters piece which takes an unverified plaintiff claim that Apple passed on Siri recordings to… unnamed advertisers? And that’s why they got ads for Jordans?
"The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden"
Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M
Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.

Ordered Taco Bell using the drive-through, and the drive-through speaker voice is now a female AI order bot to take orders. Then, at the end, it’s a man who asks how many taco sauces I want. 💀

I would love if Nintendo makes Mario Party iPhone edition! Just don’t oversimplify like they did with the Mario iPhone game, where it was a brain rot level game play.

Do not half use Bluesky hoping it will magically be like the Twitter you spent years cultivating.
