Nobody does UI sound effects like Nintendo does 🤩 The Switch 2's beeps and bloops as you navigate around menus is pure delight

I've been trying to work out how/when/if I should move to coding with AI instead of building with Bubble this year, and I think I have a plan:

I miss when iPhones made that "ka-click" sound when you unlocked them

At times I seriously worry about our industry’s ability to respond adequately to this moment. Between incidents like this and the more than 200 Palestinian journalists killed in the last year and a half, it feels crazy that media outlets aren’t going scorched earth right now.

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

Looks like Instagram have removed the option to “snooze” suggested posts, despite their support page saying it’s still there 😓 getting worse and worse

Was fantastic talking with Adriaan about Simple Analytics! We chatted successes and mistakes, marketing, growth, and so much more. "That was, I think, the first moment where I actually realised that maybe developers are salespeople. That's not normally the case." milestones.so/case-study/s...

I don’t think I ever got more love or hate for anything I’ve written than I did for this on @mcsweeneys.net. So many clicks and shares as well as people being furious. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wha...

@skylight.social I'd love to download this but get an App Store error saying it's not available in Australia ☹️

YOU GUYS.

Instagram is just stuffed with ads these days – scrolling the main feed is pointless 🫠 Can’t wait for some sort of federated Instagram to take off

I've been so happy with where my painting practice is at after the last few years of learning. Here are some recent pieces 😄 I put them all here if you'd like to follow along: www.instagram.com/jamesdaly_art

Psytrance has been the best genre for me for getting in the zone and punching out design/development work since 2015 🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟

I very much would love an awesome fun mini PC like this, but to still use macOS, and it seems so complicated to set that up 🥲

Can’t stop watching @jetlagthegame.bsky.social, it’s just so good

the feminine urge to

AOL warned us of the dangers of logging on. It would play for us the screams of the damned. But we didn’t listen. We didn’t listen.

New on milestones.so with @dmytrokrasun.com 🤩

Such a pointlessly convoluted sentence structure 😅

Pushing changes to an app from a laptop at an airport is never not just so fun. I love the internet

Just did a massive to-do list bankruptcy clear out and it feels AMAZING

Trump: I'm going to abolish the senate and crown myself emperor like Palpatine New York Times: president trump displays his star wars knowledge
