Figma telling me I got 65 "drafts to move". Gtfo

Last week, Meta revealed (in a motion trying to dismiss an FTC anti-monopoly lawsuit) that Instagram made an astonishing $32.4 billion in advertising revenue in 2021. That figure becomes even more shocking when you consider Google's YouTube made $28.8 billion in the same period. Bloomberg reports that the

Semrush's onboarding flow. They ask "Why did you come to semrush today?" and i selected "I dont know"

Angry-Crying Wojack: No!!!! you cant train AI on my work, i'll lose my job

Much of the American Bitcoin mining industry can now be found in Texas, home to giant power plants, lax regulation, and crypto-friendly politicians. In October 2021, Governor Greg Abbott hosted the lobbying group Texas Blockchain Council at the governor’s mansion. The group insisted that their industry would help the state’s overtaxed energy grid; that during energy crises, miners would be one of the few energy customers able to shut off upon request, provided that they were paid in exchange. After meeting with the lobbyists, Abbott tweeted that Texas would soon be the “#1 [state] for blockchain & cryptocurrency.” The following month, the Commissioners Court of Hood County approved the development of a cryptocurrency operation at Wolf Hollow. The owners promised local jobs and said that they would mostly use “stranded energy” that would otherwise go unused.

If you've noticed, when you get a few paragraphs back from an LLM, there are never two spaces after a period. 

It's because the AI knows that two spaces after a period is wrong.

since when are we allowing software to boss us around? get real, I'm never moving these drafts

This makes me so sad.

At $55k, you'd take home ~45k after tax. Median rent in Australia is $600/week which is about 70% of the take-home pay 🤯

Looking at my Webflow invoices from the last few years.

Back in 2020 I was paying $192 for the CMS plan. Today it's $276, a 43% increase 🤯

I think I should be exempt from Youtube ads if I'm watching a product tutorial/training video that's only available via Youtube.

I'm not here for fun – I'm working.

Gonna miss these emails 🥲 so long, Mike from Invision

I know netflix is using imagery from their portfolio of content but why does their investor relations page feel so... ominous 😬

"We no longer "search" Google, but barter with a seedy search box to try and coax out a result that isn't either a search engine-optimized half-answer or an attempt to trick us into clicking an ad."

Great read: https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-great-looting-of-the-internet/

So, now that reallygoodemails has been acquired, who is going to build an actually useful email inspo website?

Actually kinda looking forward to Cycle 100 next week

maybe the real Posts were the friends we made along the way

waiting for the client to get back to you with feedback so you can clock tf in

Thank you to the Posts+Readcv team to giving me a place to post again.

Somewhere in the past 5-6 years, I lost the motivation to post on social media – and this place helped me get over it. So thanks @andy + team for giving us a place to be ourselves.

After getting hundreds of these asking me to find bicyclists and motorcycles, I can finally get my revenge on cars.

Does anyone make little tools for themselves to use in their everyday lives?

For example, I use a Google Sheet to compare different units/measurements vs. the price of foods so I can see what the best deal is when grocery shopping.

Pretty wild this is the verification/login screen for a $25b company.

I had to check the SSL certificate to make sure I wasn't being scammed 😩

I wish Letterboxd had a filter to remove/show standup comedy. I want to search for funny movies, not standup comedy. 

To me, these are 2 entirely different things and don't belong in the same list.

Meta is working overtime to make sure nobody wants to use Instagram. Just opened it for the first time in a while and they served me this insane in-feed 4-up ad format.

i can imagine the the user story: “As a user, i want to see 4 ads at once, so i can consume more ads”

Giving Loops.so a try for our onboarding emails...

So many great fonts out there, basically un-considerable because the foundry website doesn't offer trial font downloads. Online type-testers and PDF specimens are not trials.

I like copywriting with AI/ChatGPT/etc. but I cannot stand *editing* someone else's "writing" created with chatGPT. 

It's like an uncanny valley of language. Just english enough to be understandable, but just weird enough to sound computer-generated. Can't put my finger on it.

we need to normalize not knowing what's going on

Playing around with an idea for a clock/calendar that shows you how many hours are left in the year. My original intention here was to create a Chrome extension to replace the New Tab screen

Seeing lots of "fractional" job titles recently

Researching email newsletter platforms. Are there any notable ones I might be forgetting about? I really like Loops at work but looking for something for personal/side project use that isn't so $$$

I have a few self-hosted services but mostly I'm interested in hosted platforms.

on the paid tier of Claude. I wouldn't need so many messages if it just solved my problem the first time 🤷‍♂️

🧘‍♂️ life is too short for negativity 💆‍♂️

Basically my timeline for the past few days:

This might be controversial but: The Bear season 3 really fell off. Felt like a completely different show than Seasons 1 and 2. 

The only standout episode was episode 6, directed by Ayo Edebiri.

using HubSpot for the first time and I am astounded at their in-product experience. 

what is this? who thought this was a good idea? how could a loving god allow so much suffering?

It's kind of weird when I try to set a new password and the website tells me the password is longer than their arbitrary maximum password length. So I need to shorten my password to make it less secure.

kind of ironic to create webp image formats (created by Google) while being unable to upload them to Google Docs (also owned and created by Google)

Instead of switching all my buttons back to 3d/skeumorphic, I'll just wait another 10 years until flat design comes back into trend.

Webflow to lay off 8% of their staff

Don't let anyone ever tell you that credit scores aren't 100% bullshit

youtube ads are so funny. they're like "hey 👋 we know you're here to listen to old Tool albums but can you please 👉👈 🥺 watch this ad for Canva? pretty please?"

This is something that's going to make me leave Webflow. I pay $828/year to Webflow (3 sites) but since I dont have an "Agency workspace" I can't be invited to edit a client's website. They want $192 more from me just for the privilege of editing a website.

noticed a very subtle Linear app update this morning

I love Arena but the Explore page (which I browse daily) has recently become overrun with spammers

I am so glad people stopped taking these linkedin "advice" prompts seriously 😂

when I share my screen for work, I always make sure to have a few linkedin tabs open. gotta keep them on their toes

Woke up this morning to an attempted hack of my iCloud/Apple account. Luckily I had 2FA authentication set up and a few redundancies in place.

Here's your reminder to secure important accounts and set up 2FA if you haven't already.

New feature rolling out in Google Docs: Document Tabs! Looks like you can create multiple Tabs within a single document.

I wonder if these Bitcoin mining companies got payouts during the recent power outages in Texas
