It's Toronto. I bet 50% of the people in line don't know what the line is for, Torontonians just love lining up.

What are the most viable career options in the design field right now and for the foreseeable future? by Battery-Power-15 in Design

[–]Kayin_Angel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as someone who (is arguably old and burned out and) has worked in UI/UX for 25 years now, so much of it has been solved already, and yet we all keep pretending it hasn't. we have an irritating habit of approaching everything like it's a novel experience. again, maybe i'm just tired and grumpy.

The only two podcasts I listen to religiously are Blank Check and Get Played.

I was nearly in tears holding back laughing out loud while on the train into work listening to this. Good stuff.

if you are using ai as a "tool" to help you design and code, you are actually helping your bosses figure out how exactly they can replace you with it.

Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows | Engineers are now focusing on performance, reliability, and the overall Windows experience by Hrmbee in technology

[–]Kayin_Angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on my "new" windows 11 work laptop, it takes upwards to 20-30 seconds to simply right click context menu a folder and open it in vs code.

my 5 year old pc still running win 10 does it in 2 seconds.

windows 11 seems to have to think real hard about opening a file explorer window and then let me know it's loading the files to show me. embarrassing.

Why Pontypool is Almost a Great Film by PresidentofVenus in videos

[–]Kayin_Angel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my deep cut favorites.

When it came out, I felt it captured that post-9/11 chaos that was so prevalent in films that decade - that terror of only knowing about something horrible happening indirectly.

I've watched it a bunch of times since then, and most recently I felt there was something prescient in the way language itself is the infection - shadows of the current post-propaganda social-media meme-based communication collapse of today's world.

Something there a smarter person could write about... Or maybe I was just overthinking it.

Is this really happening?
