I bought a piece of wooden furniture. The box contained one broken piece with a spring, a duplicate part, a missing piece, and screws that break under the screwdriver.

After I complained, the seller offered me a 20% discount.

What level of resignation is that? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don't have an iOS.
But if I remember correctly the share icon on iOS (Apple apps) is more like this, isn't it?

That's where the label takes an important role.

I still wonder why Bluesky displays an upload icon for the share action below our posts. (Android app)

Totally not intuitive for me but maybe it's just me 😅

I just bought Helldivers II on PS5 to play with a friend on his recommendation.

Well, not what I expected.
Server issue for 25 min. Not documented online. No support. No play.

I'll ask for a refund I suppose.

Someone at @figma.com can explain to me why I got this error message while trying to upload a community file?

My steps:
- went on the file community page
- clicked on "Manage resource" > "Edit this page"
- added 2 screenshots to the images
- Next > Publish
- Boom, error. No visible error.

Small proposition for the Bluesky WordPress Plugin I'm developing. Go challenge me here:

github.com/geoffreycrof...

Yes I'm testing Github Discussions to see what happens.

A ✝️ symbol to say "year of death"?

Was it really necessary?

What would you use for a Jewish folk, or an atheist person? A star? Nothing?

Then use nothing for everybody, I'm sure we will all figure it out just fine.

Tencent Hunyuan 3D
An open source high-quality 3D DiT generative model.

Not an expert in 3D, but this seems amazing from my point of view. Any expert in the field to try it?

"Trump Proposes US Iron Dome"
I thought it was a joke so I check he sources, decided it was a joke, asked chatGPT to draw something based on the article. Here it is, ridiculous, like the Trump's idea, but I had fun.

Bluesky is making a photo sharing app called @flashesapp.bsky.social based on the same protocol powering Bluesky.

Serious Link - Games Artist
An amazing article on the process of creating a darker realistic Link, written and created by Ankit Garg.

If they have declared an Open Search model they can be indexed as search engines.

Technically, my website is (has) a search engine too.

Showing off a little:

Yet another app with a promotion feature well developed.

Good job guys! 😂

(Also let's not talk about how things are aligned on this screen)

Ha! Just deleted Twitter today to add @bsky.app on @buffer.com 🥰

Yes you need a business account to do that.

Once you switch to Business, you'll get spammed by Meta on all the platforms. (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram)
Plus, the localisation of their tools is simply awful. I don't know how they even make money with this shit.

I don't know if I told you, but I do Leathercraft in my spare time in addition to writing books. (Yeah, I don't have kids 😅)

This comment made my day. People are so kind on my leathercraft Instagram account 🥰

Just wanted to share this with you all, alongside my last creation.

Does this table make sense to you?

If yes, please explain it to me 😅
If no, what's missing?

I'll be soon making a watch band for my newly acquired watch.

But in the meantime, here is the latest one I've made for someone else. You'll recognize the Apple Watch lugs 😊

Cognac veg-tan Italian leather with a grey thread to match the chrome of the watch.

I do prototype for everything. I even do paper prototype for both my work and my hobby.

This helps brain dump things and think around your first ideas/solutions to get new ones, or simply test it and get rid of the first pain points.

Still writing those books. Takes forever 😱

If you think one or both topics would be interesting for you or your colleagues, please like or share 💓 Word of mouth is priceless.

Cover teasing in the meantime.

LinkedIn is testing a new way to animate its community.

They are testing Articles that are co-written by AI and experts in the field.

The issue is that the base is so poor and the suggestion you can make is limited: 750 characters per suggestion.

But let's say is just an experimentation.
