The UIs of two features that – in my opinion – actively contribute to ruin the platform they're designed for.

The "Skip ahead" button on YouTube, appearing at the beginning of a video.

@codecks.bsky.social last week I went to a talk by Richard Lemarchand here in CPH, with a focus on scheduling the production of a game realistically. Among other things he's shown this chart from the book in pic 2. It made me think of her new Vision Board functionality!

Of all the news I didn't expect to read today, this made me raise my eyebrow to the sky

there likely will never be a reckoning for how much AI tech companies have stolen from sex workers, but at least we have records of it

I'm sorry if it comes across this way. As you can understand, I'm commenting on the actions of the Israeli government and army, not on Jewish people as a whole.

Ciro Continisio @ciro.continis.io · 4d

Sorry, I don't have a duty to comment on every war happening on the planet. I do post on other things, it's just that you don't see it. But you can be assured I'm not invested in any propaganda for either side, I just voice my thoughts.

And yes, human lives matter to me. But all kinds of lives, not just Israeli ones. That's why the flotilla has a reason to exist.

That claim is unsubstantiated www.timesofisrael.com/usaid-finds-...

The reality is, much of what you say is in itself PR in favour of the Israeli government, false claims that they spread to justify their illegal and brutal actions. And no independent journalism is allowed inside to deny them.

I think you're mixing things up. This is a humanitarian mission. They are just bringing food and medical supplies to a population in distress.

In short, the current Italian government sucks.

Ciro Continisio @ciro.continis.io · 6d

This time though I'm happy to see that Italians mostly acted in a mature way, given how many went into the street to support the mission. That's heartwarming, at least.

They suffered a double loss, because to suck it up to Trump (and hence to Netanyahu) they ended up against people's will, so not only did they end up on the wrong side of history, but their bending over didn't even win them votes. Hard to say though if people will remember in the next elections...

The discussion rotating around the Global Sumud Flotilla mission once again reveals the Italian government for what it is: a bunch of useless losers.

These are some of them, but there's more 🙂

I think there's something for everyone. I crafted them with care, to ensure that they never get in your way and that they feel native.
Hope you find them useful!
