Same, years ago they did an update when you could still see some pens featured on the homepage but the UX was less fun to browse through. Now it seems there are no featured pens on the homepage, so you can't just explore pens aimlessly.

You need to install a 3rd party software Blackhole to even get desktop audio for screen recording with QuickTime. After about an hour of troubleshooting settings I gave up and used OBS, esp since I was in a public space at the time and the Blackhole config disabled my headphones and for a moment you could hear a loud YouTube tutorial playing through my Mac speakers. Also the shortcut to stop screen recording on QuickTime sucks, it’s like CMD+CTRL+ESC and you need to have it memorized because there’s no “Stop Recording” button option

MacBook: better screen, keyboard, speakers, battery life, milled aluminum unibody, has airdrop/App Store.

I bought it when he released it. It was good for him but arguably he lowered his worth and took a pay cut, and it also set a bit of a price ceiling base rate for comedy specials at 5$, which if you aren’t the #1 comedian at the time like Louis was you can’t bring in the same sales volume.

Agree mostly unless it's for something that needs to deal with water in some way.

For those racing to call this an end to Twitter, remember which platform allows you to post spicy pics.

From my experience the terrible experience is pretty often because of bloated features (and the bad UI that comes with it) that are shipped quickly in order to be first to market and capitalize on the novelty of some new technology. Move fast and break things. Then hardware technology improved so bloated UI etc got a pass because no one needed to optimize anything unless you're developing for 3rd world with outdated hardware and poor internet speeds.

CSS-Tricks was and likely still is a great resource for web developers, congrats on your time working there! I once reached out for a position and heard back from Chris Coyier, ultimately I wasn’t quite motivated enough to start but in hindsight sounded like a great opportunity and appreciated the tentative offer

A leaner organization could reduce reliance on advertising as payrolls go down, and if traffic increases (as Elon is claiming, who knows if true) than advertisers would pay more for greater exposure. Also FB using AI or target marketing to the extreme for their ads just ended up turning people away from the platform by sterilizing it of any actual content you’d like to see.

80% imo could so very easily be bloat. Features/services that are underutilized and haemorrhaging money don't need to be upkept, teams dedicated to curating content like twitter headlines and moderating content don't need to be there (at the scale it's currently at). Staffing for hospitality services at Twitter HQ and all the ancillary services that are unnecessary or under-utilized. As long as the servers are running, people will be able to post 240 chars of content and some rich media images, the Twitter platform is not ground breaking tech

Amazon Basics logo (or other generic company) looks a bit tacky

Just to be clear what you're saying, you personally, or for the sake of others, need satire labels to identify that "CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication" is satire? That is the statement you just made?

"Repeat offenders will see their distribution reduced and their ability to monetize and advertised removed." Is the problem, a satire post by a satirical publication has been notified their distribution and monetization could be penalized as a result of their satire, because a 'fact checker' decided to identify the content and treat it like a news piece.

I don't know how anyone enjoys the new design, old.reddit.com I can browse so much more effectively.
