I don’t think so. It needs an abstraction layer of an experience to be remotely intuitive, economical, and adoptable by everyday folks.

My good friend Boris made a pretty indispensable AI workbench for macOS. Definitely recommend checking it out!

I feel you on this. The worst part is how it makes me more agitated by the dumbest and littlest annoyances.

darktable darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer

I assume you've checked out Darktable. It doesn't seems like there are any great photo catalogs with advanced raw processing like Lightroom. www.darktable.org

It’s 2025 and Apple Music still doesn’t have playback handoff.

Why do so many startups feel the need to create videos when they raise vc or do a new product launch? It's ridiculous. I don't believe it's helping your brand awareness in the ways you think. More often than not, the videos are ai slop cringe worthy.

Meanwhile, designers on the former bird site are spewing nonsense like this.

How the mariners pulled Woo is baffling. I don’t even blame Bazardo for his moronic down and in pitch to Springer (are you fucking serious?!). It was Wilson’s call to pull Woo. Why not put in Munoz? So dumb. #mariners

Today was almost an epipen day. After coming home from routine allergy shots, I had a severe reaction (hives, rash, throat was getting questionable). Took the incorrect amount (too small a dosage) of anti-histamine. Fortunately I live within a 8 min walk to the allergist, but what a scary morning.

The design community on x is insufferable. Lot of hot takes, ai slop, circle jerking...pretty miserable. Where have all the thoughtful threads gone?!
