@soatok whenever people suggest JWTs I get (ir?)rationally angry

Since day one, Google Chrome used to just update. Silently. You open Chrome and return to your last tabs without realizing it was updated [unless you notice they redesigned something].

But since a few years ago Chrome team decided it's important to show users a toast "Chrome was updated". OK, why would I care?

Or even worse, instead of opening my last tab, it opens the What's New page. There is no option to turn it off.

Users open browser to do what's on their mind, not read your changelogs.

Thank you Technology Connections for inventing the heat pump

More foxes for friends, this time I decided to step away from the original general style established by another designer, because I felt like it constrained me a bit. Done in Affinity Designer.

#vectorArt

Poked at Affinity Designer yesterday to make a vector poster for a friend.

Usually I'd use Figma or Illustrator.

Another one of these!

Google Play is killing indie devs

Google will now require developers to get 20 testers and developers will have to "test" their apps for two weeks before launching into public testing or production.

Sorry but where am I, an indie dev who just publishes my small pet projects, supposed to get 20 testers?

It's almost a school class, is a lot of people to get and sign up for your testing. I'm expecting for services to fake these testers to pop up.

And I caught Microsoft at doing this nasty thing again.

First time I noticed Microsoft doing this on Microsoft Designer website: https://collar.place/@Sominemo/110275107838229822
