This whole "share an oversimplified post on a complex topic every day to stay relevant in the feed" thing only works for one person and it definitely ain't the reader/viewer.

Vimeo is laying off staff globally after its $1.38 billion sale to Bending Spoons Vimeo is letting go of workers globally in a new round of layoffs after selling its business to tech-holding company Bending Spoons.

Yep, I’m currently using Vimeo inside of Ghost. Though, I’m looking to move everything over to Bunny because of what Bending Spoon’s has been doing to the company. www.businessinsider.com/vimeo-laying...

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

The circular logic of our metrics We design what is familiar. The design patterns we adopt are the ones yelling at us the loudest.

99% of stakeholder "ideas" is just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest.

Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling.

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

You know, it would be great if we had one day where powerful people didn’t do something monumentally stupid to compensate for the emotional blindness that comes with their inability to grasp the experiences and knowledge of others as true.

User researchers already document findings at a faster velocity than orgs can act on them. It strains credulity that tech leaders are clamoring for even more yet worse AI-generated findings.

I'm not sure I've ever felt a sense of joy in making a digital thing quite like when I made my first flash site. I even did a happy dance when I got it to work.

We got a landline today and the kids FORMED A LINE to use it. The 9 year called eight people, the 13 year old prank called me, and the 16 year old (who has never called a friend on their iPhone) immediately called their best friend and they talked for 10 minutes.

Bring all the analog back.

A special announcement banner with a red background and white text on the SBA.gov website claiming that somehow democrats, the party with zero power in the US government right now, are responsible for the current government shutdown. This is projection from people who believe Americans are dumb and can't see what's really happening.

This is just a blatant lie and frankly, just so childish. What a gross display of leadership from small, insecure, and selfish people.
