Meta AI put a Redditor into "an endless maze of mirrors" as part of a new AI feature it is testing.

Copying is the way design works

With the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet, we’re introducing a new capability in beta: computer use. Developers can now direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking, and typing text.  While groundbreaking, computer use is still experimental—at times cumbersome and error-prone. We're releasing computer use early for feedback from developers.  In this demo, Claude creates a themed website—generating code, launching a server, and fixing its own mistakes.  Claude is generating all the computer actions shown here.   This demonstration was recorded in a controlled environment, with some supporting infrastructure simplified to highlight the core capabilities.

My experience with moving from Mac to Linux for professional UX and UI design work and how to make the switch yourself.

Damn, this is some scary shit right there. It seems that accepting the Meta AI TOS enables them to make deepfakes of you and display ads to yourself with your own face?

These past couple of weekends I've been working on a design refresh and rewritten Hey Meta in Svelte. 

The stats are up by 27% since last week, so I guess I did something right 😅

https://www.heymeta.com/

I've published my first NPM package, Kromatika — a color palette with 16 colors, each having 10 shades. 

Available in Less, SCSS, CSS, JS, JSON, Stylus, and YAML.

NPM: npmjs.com/package/kromatika)
Github github.com/michael-andreuzza/kromatika)

Feedback is more than welcome!

Dear people who take work calls on speakerphone at a restaurant,

Ever so kindly fuck off. 

Sincerely,

TailwindCSS v4 is here 👀

Considering adding a weekly/monthly Spotify playlist section to my homepage. There's just so much good music out there that it might be a good "time capsule" also for myself of what I was listening in different parts of the year 🤔

What a great (long) overview about design.

Made a little thing last week just to try Spline 😊

You gotta fall asleep in order to wake up. Maybe that’s the problem. People aren’t falling asleep so they’re not able to wake the fuck up. People should try sleeping more.

Twitter is just getting weirder by the day...

So... you block someone who's harassing you, so they don't have access to your posts... but now they just say "who gives a f*, let's show everybody everything"? Bizzare...

@andy you all probably have your hands full with everything, but would the team be up for a knowledge sharing session regarding Posts & Read?

Discovered https://webstudio.is/ today, basically an open-source Webflow alternative and it honestly looks like it could replace it for me. 

Need to test it out a bit more though, but from just playing around with it a bit it's quite feature packed.

Damn, Orchid looks amazing, totally getting Teenage Engineering vibes ✨
Not really ground breaking as they say I guess, at least if you know a bit of how to make music with a keyboard, but still.

Hey all, I wanted to share a very bittersweet update here before we shared it anywhere else. First, the hard part — we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Read.cv and Posts starting this month.

i have a lot of questions a lot of the time

I updated welovefreemovies.com with new movies, categories, filmmakers, and more!

Goooood morning Post family lots to share today

The more I make music, the more I feel the need to work on modulat.co again... I maybe don't have the chops to make it into a full blown application, but just for backups and sharing previews (don't like Soundcloud for that)... someone send me some energy/motivation please 😅🙏

any .io domain-havers?

Excited to share Stippling Figma Plugin

Made this plugin to generate halftone or stippling dots from any selected image or frame directly within figma. See how easy it is to create these cool designs now! https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1409794712197371392/stippling

So Sonos CEO finally admits that their new app rollout was a failure. While I don't have many issues with my system, if I couldn't change the volume I'd be super pissed. It seems like first thing the developer should fix, like asap, especially for...you know...speakers 🤷‍♂️

🔉🔉 my company PlaySpace is looking to hire a freelance graphic designer! main tasks include: pitch decks, social post creatives, brochures, possibly website design, etc. will add requirements below, pls dm me if you're interested or know someone who could be!

Looking for part-time/contract/freelance product design position based in the US from May-Aug!! I have experiences in designing both B2B SaaS and consumer app 😊😊😇

I report such an amount of outright scam on Instagram that I should be paid as a moderator.

What I get from the reports: This is fine, it's not scam if we get paid for the ad 🤷‍♂️

I've rebooted my MacBook multiple times, checked all sound settings, plugged the sound card in&out repeatedly, trying to get the audio to work, only to discover that the speakers weren't turned on. 

How's your morning? 😄

I kinda wish there was a reporting feature on here instead of a mailto link. 

I've seen quite a few accounts spamming the same content for this and that website/service. Not even personal profiles but it seems like companies?

Kinda want this to be more personal than this 🙏

Swapnil does a great job describing the root of my procrastination.

I've yet to figure out how to write for myself but publish to everybody without second guessing my every step.

Is anyone here attending Naive yearly in Ljubljana?
naiveyearly.com

@javier and I have two tickets and a hotel booking (from the 19th to the 21st) that we are not going to use. 🥲
Please contact us if you are interested.

So @danmag & couple of folks are building the successor of Posts and making greeeeat progress daily 🔥

So if anyone wants to migrate here's a link to the waiting list, so you'll get updated when things move forward 💌

Now that we have Figma, Google Docs and more apps basically running inside a browser, maybe Linux can become an option for (UX) Designers too 🤔

https://www.chris-wood.design/resources/linux-for-ux-designers

Been having some music production lessions/sessions with a producer friend so I ordered my first studio monitors (Adam Audio T5V), because I was doing all of the stuff on my headphones. 

Can't wait for next week to test them when they arrive. Superexcited 🤩

I still press CMD+S every few minutes from my "Adobe days", even now that almost every app auto saves when changes are made.

Figma used to have a info modal reassuring you that you don't need to save manually, kinda sad it's gone, it rotated between a few emojis, quite fun 😊

I've got a lot of thoughts on what comes next after posts. If you're considering building a successor or you're interested in joining one, hopefully this is valuable to you: https://taurean.bryant.land/A+call+for+a+posts+successor

The new Google Meet page was bugging me, because the alignments of some elements and text were all over the place. Here's my quick fix:

hi fellow language enthusiasts! if i could pls get 5-10min of your time to fill out this quick survey for a personal project i’m working on, it would be much appreciated 🩵 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5QUwUnc6IyXcW7-s6aMM_89oNo3SLxMIhtHCts2M8_B4A8w/viewform

Designers that switched to another/similar career, what did you go with and how long did it take?

Asking for a friend 🙃

How is every popular pop/dance/radio song that came out recency just a bad remake of an 90/00s song but with completely different lyrics? This feels so stupid to me, like, why the new lyrics if you reuse the tune and everything? Makes no sense 🫠

Any solo designers (no matter what level) at startups interested in creating a tiny group to hang out, discuss, share, give feedback, help out each other, etc. on a Discord server? 👀

Drop me a DM 🙏

We're hiring another senior product designer at Tinloof, it's a contract that lasts until the middle of March. You'd be working on a complex product, and have lots of responsibility and ownership. I'm really enjoying it here.

JD:

Recently figured out I can make cold brew from decaf beans and it’s ✨delicious ✨ especially since I don’t drink that many caffeinated drinks because I have trouble sleeping when I do.

Got it! Thanks for the note @cv team 💜
