probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

…

Jamelle, this is semi-related but have you checked out Lower Decks yet? It’ll give your faith in humanity and hope and friendship a massive injection.

probably a good time to bring this back

This thread got me thinking.🤔 1️⃣ Every ATProto user has a public key. 2️⃣ Every ATProto user has a domain name, which means it can have MX records to route email. Someone (@bsky.app) could build an ATProto-aware client with smarts to encrypt/sign emails sent to users with ATProto enabled email.💡🔐📧

And, given the comments (thank you for all the considered ones), I want to make my position clear: AI is a general purpose technology that will impact many aspects of life & work soon. Some impacts will be good & others very bad. Mitigating the bad & building on the good is key to all of our futures

does anyone else find that auto-rotating maps (as in video game minimaps, satnavs, etc.) make it impossible to actually learn where things are? I need north to be up at all times.

I'm in awe at the incredible coordination effort that was needed in order to... launch Gemini nag popups on every Google product, all on the same day. Not even kidding, that's immense. Imagine if they did something useful with that energy.

everything has problems but I think as far as browser specifications go webauthn is pretty unique in how many of its problems were pointed out during its development and actively ignored by the editors.

Once again reminding people that "the wellness industry" is a scam. If someone is selling you supplements that "doctors don't want you to know about" it's because it's a scam. These treatments UNIVERSALLY fail at peer review, which is why they rely on testimonials instead.

"Welcome to Bluesky, TikTok users. The posts here are like the captions you read on videos, but there's no video to watch."

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

This UI has to be a top contender for the MOST #uninspiring #UX #design from the past 10+ (20?) years. I'm not naming & shaming. There's no point piling on this poor company. - Overflow/wrapping tab bar?! 💯 a cry for help. - BOLD overload! 🤦‍♀️ - 3-4 word tab labels? 🧐 They are clearly struggling.

Of course wild horses could drag me away. Hell, a bag of doritos on the end of a line could lure me into almost anything

A student somehow accidentally emailed the entire NYU faculty and the reply-all carnage is like a freeway pile-up
