UI designer, Europe, whoohoo on AI art. I am whatever you make of me based on a few Tweets and a silly profile pic.

@M_Zot_ike @RhysSullivan because gpt-5 is not a new model, it's just a router to select any other older model, depending on context. I also only got trash outputs so far, even in simple writing tasks.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@MakeDesignPop Not just the icons, the whole app and workflow. I know I'm probably just old and unfit for change but those floating panels are just annoying when before Figma felt well organized and informed by user needs.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@figma Got the new UI, don't like it. Takes more space, and everything is shuffled around. Will take forever to get used to. Typical move in growing platforms and products – make things worse just to get some sense of novelty. Happy to not be a full time designer anymore.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@TheJackForge Yes, I'm in. It was an exiting time.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@prasenx These do not seem to support the same user story, so why even bother comparing? The first question before asking about user friendliness is about what does the user try to achieve. Form follows function is still relevant, and way too many designers don't get it.

@TheJackForge @techleadhd Yt comments indicate that people actually get offended by this content. Really fascinating combination of satire and probably some deep truths. Thanks sharing 🙂

[Les @lesdemaria]

@figma Had to ponder about it for a while but then it got funny.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@darylginn 😂 totally my vibe

@pwnies @disco_lu @konki_vienna We construct rgba strings with multiple variables, eg. rgba(var(--ui-1), var(--opacity-90); where ui-1 would be stored as "0, 0, 0" and opacity-90 would be 0.9. Our system heavily relies on opacities, which I don't like but have to keep supporting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@figma Thanks for the info! But wow until June… that’s not actually “soon” 😟 at least good to know.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@figma @hey_cortney Actually like the excitement when a Figma feature feels like an anticipated NFT drop 🤪

[Les @lesdemaria]

@figma @hey_cortney 😬

[Les @lesdemaria]

@designalily Thanks for sharing!

[Les @lesdemaria]

@rogie @disco_lu @figma I want them 🙋🏻‍♀️

[Les @lesdemaria]

@stanley_human There are so many environments where dark UI totally makes sense. Cars, Medical environments, text reader for visually impaired users, applications where image / video processing is done… I think I don’t understand your question 😅

[Les @lesdemaria]

@multikev When I’m in a meeting I need to know if I’m muted or not. So the icon should convey this info. The louder (eg red color) the easier to catch, however, it needs to be balanced with the number of possible indicators - if both mic and camera are red it may be visually overwhelming.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@skuwamoto Maybe something related to the “curse of knowledge” bias.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@disco_lu @SevnteenStrings I know 😄

[Les @lesdemaria]

@disco_lu @SevnteenStrings Whoa if adding "-" would actually hide the prop it would be a cool secret feature 😃 it is not, right, it will just display "-" or did I actually miss something?? But I also agree on the splitting idea.

[Les @lesdemaria]

@InmeRebel @myhiddenvalue Did they not yet manage to put it out? I think this was about 2 days ago, no?
