Now that people are leaving #meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram how did I go last summer when artists left for #cara ? Did it manage to pick up steam?

This is a great behind-the-scenes posts about creating the ”state of…” surveys and the thought that goes on behind it. So many great details about the differences in what people like to answer and what companies find valuable and how user research can help you build clever ways to make it better for all involved

I created my first Figma plugin today! It’s an internal tool to help us clean up our design system and some of the specs.
There has been a lot of variable collections created over the years due to ”reasons” and now we have components that have some variables from one collection and some from another.
My plugin shows what variables from what collection are used in a component, speeding up triage and fixes 👍

I was playing around with CSS grids and decided to recreate some typographic posters I had seen on the Futur ’s YouTube channel years ago. I think it turned out quite well and I learned a ton!
Huge thanks to @jensimmons as well since I used her site as inspiration on how to actually solve it.

The ”we need more data to innovate” claim sounds very hollow to me.
If a farmer farms one hectare one year and the next year he farms two hectare and says ”thanks to our innovations we are now producing double of what we did last year”
Owning more assets is not innovation. Making a better solution with the same or fewer assets is innovation

Any #llm or #ai experts out there? Is a local model more energy efficient than a model hosted somewhere else?
I’m starting to see many smaller models tuned for specific tasks and meant to run locally. I’m guessing since they are smaller they will require less energy than gpt or sonnet or whatever. But their architecture is more optimized than my laptop.
If I’m worried about energy usage how should I think about this?

Fascinating behind the scenes of how to restore more than 600 flower illustrations and the project to display them on the web and posters.

“German traffic engineers consider drivers to be rational agents who follow rules. Therefore, if there is a road where many drivers speed, the solution is to place more speed limit signs. Contrary to this input-based design of German infrastructure, the Netherlands resorts more to output-based design.”
Anyone want to pay me to study how cultural differences results in infrastructure design? No? Well, one can dream…

After several years I’m done with Feedly as my #rss client. Mostly due to their horrible UI and UX.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good app for iOS?

How important do you think experience from the sector is for a job?
I read the blog below and I agree with many points. But then I was talking with my dad, who has worked in the same company the last 35 years, and he thought “new” employees with only 4 years in the sector didn’t know anything.
He works in a very technical and highly regulated field so maybe that is relevant. For an employee, sector experience as nice to have is obviously better.

What kind of A/B test did I get included in? Why are the buttons on #instagram huge?
This is what bugs me when people say that “design is about solving problems” or that design is meant to help the business grow.
Now the visual hierarchy is all messed up. If the this drives more interaction, which I guess is the point, then we will be stuck with a worse #ux and #ui

Love this idea of letting you check back in on interesting things that you might lose when scrolling.
We all know the issues with algorithmic feeds and, honestly, I’m not a huge fan of mastodons timeline feed either. Since I live I a different time zone than many of those I interact with I miss out of a lot of conversation.
I would like to explore this idea more, especially as an addition to #rss

What would be a good camera body and lens(es?) for a beginner?
I want to move up from my phone and have something that gives me more control over depth of field and don’t degrade the quality when I zoom. Bonus if it can handle video but not must.
Mostly take photos of architecture and street scenes (so not many close range photos)
Not sure where to start looking do any help is appreciated

“Organizing language by probability rather than intention produces a kind of pure entropy, the heat death of consciousness.”
I’ve been toying with an idea of building a summarization tool to help me keep track of notes and references but this made it clear to me that it might be pointless.
I want to connect thoughts in non obvious ways but #ai will just help me do it in the most obvious way.
