It took me almost 2 hours to fix a bug in Figma that was a tucked away single checkbox. If anybody is using a variable font, you're going to want to uncheck this pain in the ass setting for auto optical sizing. Some people love this, it's not fun when working on a shared file with variables.

checkbox under optical size setting for variable fonts that says 'set optical size automatically'.

My last post was 3 months ago, and that's a great indicator of how I've been feeling about work lately. However, I've just started at a new job that's given me a real new joy for what I do ❤️ Hoping to bring some level of positivity here, but also heavily relating to a big need to switch off too.

Is there anybody in my network who is a brand designer looking for a small job for a good friend of mine? It's for her new company she's setting up for contracting.

I really really don't want to, but I don't think I have the mental energy at the moment to travel to London this weekend for @londonwebstandards.org State of the Browser. I'm regretful, because I really want to see all the talks and spend time with some good people, but for my own health it's best.

Designer pals, I'd like to update my website with some nice portfolio work. Any advice on what I should put on there? I'd like to focus on web design projects, including UX and UI.

Imagine if, say, a single rock song, or a comic book, or a role playing game, or a video game, or horror movie, a chocolate bar, a toy, or, say, a person like a librarian or teacher, had an actual direct causal body count like this.... Imagine the furore, the witch hunt in the press, the outrage...

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

I finally did it. Conkers Bad Fur Day has always been my favourite game, yet when I first bought it at 11 years old (sorry Mum) I could never complete it all by myself. My friend and I between us managed most levels, but then the end glitched and we never truly finished it. Today is a good day 🧡
