A few days ago, I started focusing on photography again. I dusted off my very old camera (Sony a6000) and took it out for a spin

A pigeon was perched on my office's flag pole. I said 'sup and it looked at me
While maintaining eye contact, it took a shit on my company's flag
So that's my day. How are you?

Turns out, writing a little service in #golang to generate a PNG with DisplayP3 colors is a) fun and b) moot since @bsky.app seems to strip the iccp from the PNG
Anyway, I made a little bot that posts daily oklch colors:

I'm old enough to have used mm Dreamweaver and get annoyed at the code it generated.
Figma Sites seems like a great way to get a prototype up and running, but the majority of the generated code would need to be thrown away in order to ship a good website

During my livestream yesterday, I talked about Figma Sites for a little bit. I've broken it off into a short, stand-alone video.
I don't normally like bashing a company, but when a company of Figma's size makes a product this bad, I think it's important to call them out on it.

I decided to learn a bit of go lang by making a small http service to generate pngs from font awesome's font and I'm quite surprised at how easy and almost elegant everything was.
I'm really impressed with how cool the getting started resources are

Let's integrate Twilio into an existing React Native app that has no custom native modules.
The amount of magic config and the scattered documentation is making it downright annoying.
Do I know anyone who's done something like this who could answer a couple of questions?

Is there a service that can "watch" an edited video and its source(s) and determine if the edited video is misleading or taking things out of context or not aligned with the source material?
Should we build it?
