A gentle reminder that if someone replies to you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to reply! 1. Do nothing, you don't *owe* them a reply 2. Block them, you certainly don't owe them an explanation While the fediverse is almost always a very nice place, a few abuse the rules of social conduct. If someone isn't playing nice, then just don't play back.
#figma folks, any of you switch to Penpot recently? I love the Penpot team and have used it myself personally but curious if any of you are on teams that have migrated to it?
Good riddance. Instant Apps were a VERY poor version of the web. So many of us within Google tried to appeal to better instincts. So much time wasted on this silliness.

Evolving the Team
An update on Mastodon’s core team and organisation.
Google's latest layoffs on the Chrome team really hits hard. They are letting go of people that desperately want to keep the web open. You can hate on Google on you want (I'm with you!) but the people on the Chrome team were amazing and only wanted what was best for the web. This was so incredibly short sighted and stupid (and ultimately counterproductive)
Dear #OpenSource folks, I'd like to offer #UX help to your teams. I've tried "making a small PR" on projects and it turns out that's TERRIBLE advice for a UX designer. The PR is usually misunderstood or ignored. I don't fault the teams for this! It's just the wrong tool for the job. So I'm trying something different. I'm offering free consulting time to any project that wants it. Sign up here:
