The Global Social Lead at Adobe is now defending their use of AI and pretending they've ever cared about end users, as evidenced by over 30 years of people needing to crack their software in order to have a fighting chance in their respective industries.

Screenshot of a post by Adobe's Global Social Lead Jared Carneson from his personal Bluesky account after the deletion of Adobe's ratio'd post earlier. It is part of a thread where he is defending their use of AI, saying here "Our view is that AI is a tool for, not a replacement of, human creativity. We believe that generative AI can be developed responsible, starting with respect for creators' rights."

Adobe just deleted their "How do you do fellow creatives?" post after several hours of replies recommending alternative software, pirating, and bringing up their move to abandon DEI.
A screenshot from Bluesky alerting me that the post from Adobe.com I was replying to has been deleted. My response was "Employee morale still crashing?" with a link to the previous skeet in this thread.

"Memes are powerful, and so is the surveillance state."

"It’s something that we all have to be aware of — the panopticon. We’re surveilled at all times, and it’s always framed as a safety thing, when rarely is that the case. It’s more of a deterrent and a fear tactic to try to keep people in line."
An excerpt from The Verge that reads: “I’ve been reading articles about this facial recognition stuff that Dolan [and] MSG properties use, but I hadn’t been in or around the Garden outside of Penn Station to take New Jersey Transit [to] Newark Airport in almost 20 years now,” Miller says. A friend who was present made sure his parents enjoyed the show while Miller hung out at a bar nearby. He did not get a refund for his ticket, he says. “I just found it comical, until I was told that my mom was crying [in the lobby],” Miller says of the experience. “I was like, ‘Oh man, I ruined their anniversary with my shit talk on the internet. Memes are powerful, and so is the surveillance state.” Miller and his parents also had tickets to a Knicks game the following night; his parents went without him, with a family friend in his place. Miller dropped his parents off from across the street. The apparel graphic in question; a basketball with the words "Ban Dolan" arching across the top in the style of early New York Knicks logos.

ICYMI: Dribbble's new ToS prohibits users from listing their websites, social media, and contact information anywhere on the site to try to prevent users and clients from bypassing their service fees.
A screenshot of an email sent to me on March 17, 2025 from Dribbble that reads: "Hi mandynicole. We want to inform you of an important change to our Terms of Service. Starting today, Dribbble designers and clients who meet on Dribbble must keep payments on Dribbble. This means designers are no longer permitted to display or share their contact information (like email addresses, phone numbers, social media handles) prior to client payment on Dribbble. After payment, designers and clients are able to exchange contact information."

Building out a new history page for the only milestone that matters.
A screenshot from my site's work history page (https://mandynicole.com/work-history) highlighting a Neopets Site Spotlight Award I won in 2002. The caption below the icon of the award mentions it was one of the first 100 given.
