@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. 😞

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):

And this is a useful tool for finding people you follow on Twitter and importing them to Mastadon:
pruvisto.org/debirdify/
(Only works if they have their Mastadon username in their Twitter, so do that if you're on Mastadon.)
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.

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.
Was trying to show Koren how it worked and I suppose now she thinks it’s always this easy…

I just came across this quote and I liked it so much I had to share it. Sometimes words like these just come at the right time.

All maps are abstractions and interpretations – this is a great thread on how sometimes a less realistic representation is more accurate for the viewer.

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.

Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who our 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until December 7 to register to vote. Retweet to spread awareness even if you don’t live here.
