I forgot just how awful the Microsoft ecosystem is. Forced everything. And everything is shittier than market alternatives

There’s no way the turtle could maintain pitch and breath control with those moves…has to be a backing track.

Jesus had a backing track is the obvious and most logical conclusion here

If you want to follow him here, I believe this is a more accurate profile: @mathowie.xoxo.zone.ap.brid.gy. But I'm very old and out of it, so whatever man. Sweet car photos!

The Portland Roadster Show This weekend I popped into the Portland Expo Center to check out the annual roadster show. It was a fun mix of mostly 1960s customs and rods. I don't have any shots from my absolute favorite display, ...

@haughey.com posted a photo of one of the sickest Dodge Charger restomods on his AWLN post about the Portland Roadster Show: a.wholelottanothing.org/the-portland...

adding: I want to see the entire playlist of this "radio"station. Not the next song or the song that just played. ALL OF THE SONGS. please.

Image showing two ways to listen to music on Apple Music; one is an updated (by Apple staff or robots) playlist. The other is a "radio station". The radio station has no interactivity. If a user wants to find out what songs are in the station rotation, they cannot. There is no means other than to monitor the now playing control bar. It's shit UX.

A UX note for Apple Music designers, if there are any actively working on the app:

Dear all designers who work on Apple Music: give me big text and let me scroll. #UXbasics

It is not fixed. Smart playlists do not include "radio" tracks or thematic "stations"

An image of Apple Music UI that shows no individual songs in the History tab, just a useless "Playing Apple Music" text string.

Is this fixed in Mac OS Tahoe 26.whatever?

Can anybody tell me, in sane words, why does Apple Music have a discovery channel that plays awesome music but doesn't log that in my history? That is the very antithesis of discovery. That is bait and switch. That is dark UX. Awful. To who can I speak to voice my utter disappointment and dislike?

Has anyone working on the MS List team ever used Smartsheet or AirTable? To duplicate a list row needs an amount of bullshit that feels like Microsoft has learned nothing about usability. Copilot can’t even do it!

I’ll have to be buying a new laptop because I threw my old one into the East River.

Happy to announce another Figma plugin to help designers who use variables called Variable Linter.

You can check it out here:

Hey Figma nerds and design systems people who deal with variables in your components and component sets... I've made a plugin called Remote Variable Replacer to keep those variables in line:

Me vibe coding a Figma plugin I need with Claude dot ai:

These vibes are only good up to 3 prompts, bro. Then it's red rum all the way down.

p.s. I hate that I'm basically a frazzled grade school teacher reprimanding the lowest tier of an LLM because it has the memory of a gnat.

Word to all the mothers!

Gaggia?? Beans is hard, because the best ones are $$$$ and sure, it's amazing, but $25 for 11.9 ounces is almost Erewhon levels of insane. Youtube recommended: www.youtube.com/@jameshoffma...

Went down the espresso at home rabbit hole trying to get a better shot and I now I'm working for CERN.

Probably.

@figma.com You appear to be down and right as I'm publishing a library [sound effect: gut punch]... hope I'm wrong

Thank you @booker.senate.gov !!

@booker.senate.gov is a legend!

Cannot believe @booker.senate.gov is still going… powerful as hell.

Trump and Vance: Make sure the cameras are on so we can stand in a circle and show our fealty to Putin by bullying Zelensky. Embarrassing for the USA and a stain on the executive branch.

Trump’s currency/legacy is markedly pro-rape.
