This was a delightfully weird but sad movie

I really wish they understood, or cared enough to listen, that prioritizing civility doesn’t mean reducing harm.

Watching Save The Green Planet on Kanopy which is what the movie Bugonia is based on.. probably will have some weird dreams later

If your job posting says “Remote” but then at the very end you mention that it’s actually a hybrid position, I should be allowed to hit you seven (7) times with a tube sock full of batteries

Candy bar being split open with a snippet of CSS implied to have come out of it: *, *::before, *::after { will-change: transform, opacity; }

Please check your kids' Halloween candy!

I found `will-change` being prematurely and excessively applied to elements and pseudo-elements in a way that actually harms performance and could have stacking context side effects in this candy bar.

I want more Halloween interfaces in the future

People who hate on Elsbeth's wacky outfits have no sense of joy

Not in the Halloween spirit for various reasons (sickness induced malaise, ennui from being unemployed, generally being mad at the world) but the goal today is to watch vaguely Halloween themed movies before they're taken off Kanopy

Now between being older/more stubborn and not wanting to move my entire life just to be laidoff for the millionth time I just don't know if it even makes sense

Also climate change will continue to ruin everything anyway

For what it's worth: I tried going the "apply and try to relocate later" route earlier in my career and pretty sure no one would read my resume as long as I was located out of state lol

Recruiters who seemingly only recruit for SF and NY companies don't seem to understand that I would have no need for them if I actually lived in those places

Not trying to shade anyone but getting a design job when you already live in those places seems like easy mode (excluding all other factors)

You can tell them not to use your content to train AI, BUT, there is another AI setting that is on by default until you turn it off.

You need to go to your account settings and switch it off. I just found it switched on by default.

shape faces

I'm very curious about the difference between 'drawn lines' and 'mechanically perfect lines'. How our brains perceive them. Not which is better, more how they make us feel.

Not just lines, shapes as well.

Can I add my Hades 2 accomplishments to my resume

Someone told young people that when they reach out to people about career/mentorship conversations they should preemptively offer days and times they’re available and that is bad advice.

We need to destroy LinkedIn

I can make my own bad choices without A.I. thank you very much

What terrifying thing are you dressing as this Halloween I'm dressing up as acid reflux

- what if i buy a new laptop bag

I saw someone post something on LI that had a sign-off with a clearly different name.. I guess it would be "rude" to point it out lol
