An aesthete. I ship Web APIs & support. Dark Horse.

In the last month or so I thought of having biometric authentication on the web enabled by an API or whatnot, turns out there's something like that.
I've always believed there's so much to be done on the web, I'm so stoked.

@durreadan01 You realise this is majorly an app problem and not necessarily or even an OS problem, right

These statements aren’t very solid, no need to justify your switch

[SOFT @user4_Soft]

I'm scared bro,
Those unsuccessful old men tried their best too

@joelbqz Looks nice. No Intel Mac support?

@Tottally @ST_BUCHI_ @TonUP_io @OfficialAPCNg That reality scares me so much

Keep demanding the release of these children. Don’t be tired

Put their faces everywhere. Make it impossible for those in power to keep ignoring the nightmare these children are living through.

46 children being flogged every single day.

No one deserves to grow up like this.

Hello everyone, if you can see this please help me repost so it can reach a wider audience. I’m currently battling chronic gastritis, and it has affected me mentally, physically, and financially.

My pinned tweet explains everything..

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

after 11 years working in product design,
this might honestly be my last month in the industry.

i didn’t want to write a post like this, but the last 6 months have been extremely difficult both financially and mentally.

i lost clients to AI.
potential freelance leads ghosted me.
a client scammed me out of $6,000 and mocked my work afterward.
i spent months building an app for Apple, and just when things started going well, my developer account was terminated after a small mistake and a complaint. the revenue inside the account was locked as well.

despite all of this, i didn’t stop working.
i kept learning, building, experimenting with AI products, coding, motion, and trying to adapt to where the industry is heading.

but the reality is: i haven’t been able to secure a new client for months.

if i can’t find a new opportunity within the next couple of weeks, i may have to leave the design industry entirely and start over in a different field.

so if you know anyone hiring for product design, AI product work, creative direction, or vibe coding related roles, i’d genuinely appreciate a referral or even just a repost.

thank you for reading 🤍

@vibeonX69 Such a foolish post

[contigen @_contigen]

@Dimillian @theo It’s easily the Web

[contigen @_contigen]

@honour_can_code It goes without saying

[Tomori @otomporo8701]

This is not justice. This is Nigeria!

I animates left-handed now. The police? They just moved the killer to another station.

Help get justice.

Please join me in supporting this campaign! In 2011, I was shot in my right hand by a police officer at a checkpoint. A Federal High Court in Lagos ruled in my favour in 2015, ordering the Nigeria Police Force to pay compensation for my treatment, but the judgement has not been honoured after over 10 years. @fmojustice @LOFagbemi @STinubu @oncrowdr https://t.co/CtP5YX2WIX

@TheDumbTechGuy @djkellywaves @laravelphp That’s not even Nextjs, funny enough.

[contigen @_contigen]

@laman_gh @tomilola_ng Poor in DX?! Nextjs? How?
How is it poor in performance, please?

[contigen @_contigen]

@krzyzanowskim Yeah, so?

[contigen @_contigen]

@AdemoyeJohn @jayhemz What texts?

[Tomori @otomporo8701]

A drunk policeman shot me at a checkpoint in 2011.
The bullet tore through my car, through my right hand.

I lost my career as an animator. My marriage cracked. My mind still bleeds.

The twist?
I sued the Nigeria Police. Won in 2015.
Judge said: "Pay his medical bills."

10 years later. Zero naira.
I face permanent disability without help.
