Animations are probably the least memorable UI design aspect from a user perspective the only people that will remember the eye-catching animated figma demo you made are other designers, which everyone knows add no real value to this world

Glad to see that this is finally getting addressed, but I hope this will eventually apply to all weapons instead of just handguns I shouldn't be prevented from purchasing a lower receiver, a suppressor, a handgun, or any other weapon just because I'm 18-20
Justice Department Concludes Federal Ban on Handgun Sales to 18 to 20-Year-Olds is Unconstitutional and Cannot Be Criminally Enforced justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

slack is a steaming pile of corporate garbage if you see this as a negative signal, i don't want to work for you
ironically, talking poorly about salesforce is such a negative signal

the majority of customer support calls I've had to make ended up being a jumble of grammatically incorrect corporate language in a heavy indian accent
You really have to learn a whole new set of words just to work in corporate

And just like that, customer service reviews for said US bank experienced a massive increase of satisfaction rates
🚨 A US bank fired its entire India-based employee team during a five-minute Google Meet call yesterday. All 80 employee families were affected just with a 5-minute call. 🙏 The job market is looking tough. Stay where you are!

corporate employers rewarding you for staying loyal to the company for 30% of your lifetime
⚠️ Warning: extremely sad footage!!! A cat owner posted a video showing an automatic feeder that was supposed to give his cat a proper meal — but dispensed just a single piece of kibble.

Why does a "white house spiritual advisor" exist? This should have been unconstitutional under "separation of church and state" And now that you mention it, I'd rather dedicate 10% of my gross income to a private militia dedicated to eliminating israeli and aipac-backed politicians from the US government

"Heavily using AI is okay as long as Linus Torvalds isn't doing it"
The Omarchy crew have been adding significant hardware support for Macs. And quickly. Heavily using AI (that’s their jam). Several thoughts. 1) This is the kind of thing that AI seems perfect for. Reverse engineering. Building drivers. Fine-tuning hardware support. 2) Love that Omarchy is tackling this (along with their kernel fork). This benefits all distros. 3) This has got to be driving the Asahi guys absolutely insane. Which amuses me.
