Who are the best journalists to follow for Illinois coverage rn?

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

if i am trying to align 2 objects and one of the objects is immovable because of autolayout, it should treat it like align to key object does in illustrator and align the movable object to the immovable object

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

@figma 2 quick feature asks

1. if i am holding command to direct select something, it should select the most direct visible object. I keep accidentally selecting layers that are in the scrolled up portions of the screen below what i’m trying to select.

The grain effect in the new ios https://t.co/IuAQrUO9ua

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

So apple is using AppleTV originals’ opening credits sequences to develop robust shaders for the os right?

[Apple Intelligence @apple_inte]

At this point they are just flexing animations.

The iOS 18 Beta 5 Brings "Hide Distraction" feature! Now, you can hide ads and other elements on webpages with a simple tap, and it animates smoothly. #iOS18 #Apple #Tech

Me to my increasingly bewildered spouse: you ever think Caesar quoted Diogenes?

[Scott Nover @ScottNover]

The presidential campaign is quoting dril now. The vibe shift is here.

When I worked at Starbucks on 33rd street we had 4 espresso machines and 2 cold bars running. At peak capacity we had an output of a new drink roughly every 15 seconds in a square footage that was about half the size of this.

[Alex Northstar @NorthstarBrain]

The future: a Starbucks is run by 100 robots and 2 humans.

P.S. the future happened a few days ago.

some may say this is actually better than a Pulitzer

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

Like if I’m looking for a bar nearby in my saved list of bars, why would any user want the next thing that happens be to look at a full map of the eastern seaboard

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

Is there a designer who’s worked on map apps that can tell me why on earth every map app violently steals camera control away from the user every time they interact with search or groups

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

@mb The support team on the phone walked through with me as I tried to add 10 separate cards and digital payment methods and suggested I try adding just one more and it will work this time

[Peter Freeby @peterfreeby]

@mb Lyft has a billing error where they think I owe them ~$5 but it shows an error whenever I update any payment information or try a payment on existing card records. It also won’t let me delete the account because I have an outstanding balance. So I just can’t use Lyft or CityBike

Me to the judge: Objection–the people I stole copyrighted information from are kinda weirdos

@Nat1Fun Something I’ve been running into recently: quote tweets are failing to render. So both of these might be showing up to people as text only

Wow, I mean who among us could have predicted that Adobe diving headlong into AI artwork would having any kind of long term negative effect on the potency of its brand or the salience of its utility for actual creative professionals

[Del @TheCartelDel]

Here's what actually happened. @wacom are correct that these images were from a 3rd party vendor. They are from @Adobe stock - yet the artist who uploaded them did NOT mark them as Ai. So even if you filter out Ai they still show up. We now cannot trust labels or moderation. 🧵
