@Cloudflare I was excited about this AI Audit feature announced a few weeks ago: blog.cloudflare.com/cloudfla…
But it doesn't work at all for my accounts: community.cloudflare.com/t/a…
It seems the only way to report this issue is to post on that community site, but no one has replied. 😞

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

Touchscreens in automobiles were found to be "onerous and distracting" in 1986, and still are today. It's design malpractice that some vehicles put frequently used controls (like climate) in a touchscreen instead of a physical control.
Buick created the first car touchscreen on its model Riviera in 1986. The technology was dropped because customers found it onerous and distracting

I've been digging this iOS 16 feature of randomly shuffling photos on my lock screen – thanks for the tip @cabel!
I wish there was an optional way to show the location & date the photo was taken. And maybe the caption, if there is one? And a way to go to the photo in my library?
I set my iOS 17 lock screen to randomly Shuffle a new "Nature" photo from my photo library, every hour… and it has been an absolute delight.
It is *always* fun to pick up my phone and remember where I've been.

I don't post much, but I get a lot from those I follow. I'll miss this place once it's destruction is complete, which seems inevitable.
I'm hoping to re-create as much of this community as I can on Mastadon. If you want to stay connected, I'm at:

If you're Mastadon-curious, this is a good thread explaining the concept of Mastadon servers, which was the most confusing part to me (TL;DR: it doesn't matter much – you can follow anyone, and move servers later):

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.
TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

@preysupport Prey installer fails on a MacBookPro w/ M1 chip: no browser window opens at the end to link device. The terminal commands at help.preyproject.com/article… give a rosetta error: "attachment of code signature supplement failed" – no idea what else to try or how to get help.
Welp, now I want to figure out some reason to have some lettering painted somewhere in my house…
No, thank YOU. 😍 #handpainted
ALT A photograph of a truck that says "Sign Painter" in beautiful colors and clearly hand painted. The door says "Thank You Lettering Company".
ALT A close up of the letter "A". Brush strokes are visible. The letter has a great blue 3D effect applied to it, and a drop shadow as well.
ALT A close up of the numbers 929, again the brush strokes are beautiful.
ALT A close up of the company name.
Just launched: a refreshed brand and new website for Just Outcomes Consulting:

I'm really proud of this work, and delighted to help showcase the good work they are doing.

@ProductHunt Spamming me is bad. Not having a way to immediately unsubscribe from this email you sent (that I never asked for in the first place) is terrible. Hiding the things you auto-subscribed me to under a hidden section is despicable. go.benish.io/9NWrIB
@SpotifyCares I've been seeing this "Can't play the current song" error sporadically over the past month: go.benish.io/zn2QL2 In the past it's started working again after an app re-install. 😞 It's back today and a re-install hasn't helped: Latest Spotify app / MacOS 12.0.1

All maps are abstractions and interpretations – this is a great thread on how sometimes a less realistic representation is more accurate for the viewer.
Why does the sunlight come from the north in shaded relief maps?
The sunlight in this map comes from the upper left, but in the northern hemisphere the sun mostly occupies the southern half of the sky, so why isn't it coming from below?
If you're landing on my profile because of this tweet, you're actually looking for @benishshah 🙂

Design nerds: I just used coolors.co for the first time in awhile, and it's really good for exploring color schemes. Thank you @_fbrz for making this great tool.

@rafahari sorry to bug you here, but is there some way to disable the keyboard shortcut for opening Hand Mirror? It seems to be the same shortcut as Hide Photoshop, so now every time I try to hide Photoshop, Hand Mirror opens. 😬

@SlackHQ is there a way to get command+k to add links again, like it used to, and like it does in every other text UI I use on the regular (e.g. Google docs, Bitbucket)? 😡
