OpenAI suffered a net loss of $11.5 billion during the quarter.

Totally a viable business 🙄

Been loving my Hi-Fi Walker H20 Pro. No more dumb notifications and other crap distracting me from music and disconnecting from online.

If you own your own music, I would recommend a DAP (Digital Audio Player)!

Do not like the new Bluesky icon, I'm no flat icon purist but the shading and bevels are not good. Feels like late 90s/00s icon design.

Garth Marenghi feels ripe for the Partridge treatment. Would love more of him interviewing other horror writers and directors

As soon as I put on anything by Wojciech Golczewski, it takes moments before I'm in a creative "zone". Would highly recommend if you need to do some design thinking or problem solving. Its worked for me for years 🧠 🎧

Storm has passed. Got pretty intense for a while. There is a tree that has fallen on the slope above our house.... seems to be lying flat now. No chance it will hit our house, but if it does move its gonna land in the garden with a thud!

The AWS outage yet again shows that we aren't using the internet in the way it was designed. Passing everything through a single point of failure is plain dumb when the infrastructure you are building it on has incredibly redundancy

"How are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?"

Oh...here and there......

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

Speak to as many people as you can
Listen to their advice
Listen to their concerns
Then take action

Design is communication
Design is people
Design is collaboration
Design is solving their problems

Design isn't creating a nice thing you like and showing it off to people. Thats art.

Its funny how back in the 80s, computer games were so small they could fly under the copyright radar. This spectrum game is called "Starship Enterprise" and you are the last commander of the Federation. They lifted everything and erased the nacelles on the artwork just in case 😂

Starting to wonder if I should go back to #indieweb it seems like all the social media platforms have a similar trajectory☹️

Its kinda crazy. I started out the year, pretty pissed off with Sonos. The system was running slow, it would drop out all the time and I was really missing the local NAS connection they removed years ago. I bought my setup nearly 10 years ago so I suspected I was just getting to end of life support

Why does the lightbulb icon on #confluence look like a lady dropped her trousers down?
