web vital metric acronyms are a dyslexic nightmare. LCP. FID. FCP. i propose leaning further into that to make everyone feel as lost as I do when reading those acronyms.

maybe “Cumulative Layout Shift for User-triggered Animations” (CLSUTA) or “Interaction to Subsequent Paint Timing for Complex Image-Heavy Product Galleries” (ISPIPCIHPG) or “Total Blocking Time for Intranet Pages Accessed from Obsolete Computers” (TBTIPAOC)

i would like to note that one of the first things America is using high speed rail for is getting out of South Carolina and Texas as fast as possible

Infographic: Investments to Enhance Intercity Passenger Rail.

High speed rail is in dotted red. There are four proposed tracks: one in Washington to Oregon, one in California, one from the south eastern tip of Texas to the northern border of Texas, and one that connects Georgia and North Carolina, cutting through SC.

common elizabeth warren W of utterly gargantuan proportions

Quote tweet from Elizabeth Warren: Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors.

The tweet she quoted from The Verge: Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app

Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.

In *Now That We Don’t Talk*, when Taylor says “You got new icons,” this is likely a reference to downloading icon packs for CandyBar.

Just to be sure, @cabel @gedeonm can you confirm my suspicions?

CandyBar running on OS X Mountain Lion.

Matt Berry did a cameo in the latest Last Week Tonight. That was a fun surprise

I click on Temu ads to make sure I take every opportunity to waste their ad spend on someone who will never use their service

What is Temu and why do you still have ads on your own devices

Supratim

@samhenrigold i wish it did affect them but trust me, too big of an ocean for the pebble :(

guess i struck a nerve. in case my stance wasn’t clear enough: @darius is a textbook charlatan — a grifter that feels empowered to use Steve Jobs’ name to charge $500/hour for consultations solely because he was a graphic designer at a company 20 years ago.

@samhenrigold Threads has been pushing this account quite hard. But every photo on the site looks completely AI generated. I do not get it. It does not seem like a real person. But whatever is happening, they’ve chosen a very specific time in history to wax on about.

Jason Beaird

@samhenrigold Woooow. I followed him on Threads and then eventually got tired of the self-righteousness and unfollowed. I assumed there was more to his story but not this much more.

Al Abut

@samhenrigold ouch, that’s creepy. I’ll admit to getting snookered on Threads initially because we traded comments about dashboard widgets that seemed pretty legit but then just forgot about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Today I turn 22. Here’s a pixel for every photo I took while I was 21. This is the most efficient way to share a photo recap as far as I'm concerned. No swiping or writing alt text for a bunch of slides or anything.

A 23x23 grid of colors. Most are neutral tone with a few vibrant blocks of violet and orange. “21, December 8th 2022” is above the top left corner of the grid. “22, December 8 2023” is at the bottom right.

@lickability @samhenrigold for a few seconds, i thought you can now limit who can reply of your post, turns out you cannot!

@samhenrigold @lickability this is great work, and I really appreciate the behind-the-scenes look at the process & thinking too. Thank you!

@samhenrigold @lickability Mastodon lacks a warning when you share or click on an article from a media outlet controlled by an authoritarian country

i learned more about designing for information density when creating the single-sided index card cheatsheet allowed in high school exams than any college design course could ever teach.

i overlapped notes in red/blue ink and brought color plastic films. 8pt fonts and a magnifying glass. get on my level.

nothing to add, just wanted to share a super high res mockup of the iPhone share sheet circa August 2007.

love the message but maybe not the right song to use as an example

Tweet from the American Heart Association:

The lyrics might be heartbreaking but the beat could be heart-saving: 
@TaylorSwift13’s “You’re Losing Me” (From the Vault) has the right tempo for Hands-Only CPR.

If you see a teen or adult, collapse call 911, then push hard & fast in the center of the chest. #Nation Of Lifesavers
[Chorus]
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losin' me

@samhenrigold @donkey You should hope not to need the services of a para/medic trained around here - they use Queen _Another One Bites the Dust_ ... which is also a suitable 110bpm. ;)

I see someone's even compiled a list: aedleader.com/list-of-cpr-song

stop what you’re doing and implement UNAuthorizationOptionProvidesAppNotificationSettings

Have you ever looked at Apple's "SF symbols" icons on a non-retina display? They're truly atrocious.

INT. DEALBOOK CONFERENCE STAGE - EVENING

Kendall Roy sits center stage, backlit by a digital marquee of sponsor logos. The audience is a mix of media and business elites.

KENDALL
I hope they stop. Don’t advertise. If somebody is going to blackmail me with advertising, go fuck yourself. Is that clear?

In the audience, Lawrence Yee, CEO of Vaulter, shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

KENDALL (CONT’D)
Hey Lawrence, if you’re in the audience…
