@wesbos Were you at @money2020

Back from the Netherlands, spoiling my kids with the best the country has to offer

Wanna know why they are doing it @levelsio ? Go look up CFSB order and enjoy. Fintech’s have skirted around AML requirements for so long and the banks turned a blind eye. You are moving 3/4 of a million dollars.. that’s a massive 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

@wesbos @itsolelehmann It’s crazy when a comment has almost as many likes as the original post

@itsolelehmann Brother you can’t be dishing advice when your logo looks like this

good news: AI design-slop is now easy to avoid (if you know what you're doing). you just need to do these 3 things: 1. always give your AI a positive reference AI reaches for the "slop look" when you leave taste up to it. so you need to point it somewhere instead. find a site whose design you love, then get it into your agent one of three ways: > Lafys is a free library of proven website prompts tagged by style and tech stack. grab one that's close to what you want and start from that instead of a blank box > Google Stitch points at any URL and pulls the design system out into a design md. colors, type scale, spacing, layout rules, all written as plain markdown. drop that file in your project and the model builds to that spec instead of guessing one > Figma's Chrome extension copies any live site into fully editable Figma layers. every bit of text, color, spacing, and component comes in as a real layer you can edit. clean it up, then connect the Figma MCP to your agent so it reads the actual design and builds straight from it 2. give it a negative reference too screenshot the quoted tweet and tell your agent to avoid every single thing in it. the gradient, blown-out letter spacing, glassmorphism, "live" badge, etc you're handing it the slop as an anti-target 3. always run design work on extra-high or max thinking in Codex/Claude design is one of those tasks where the extra reasoning shows up directly in what comes back. leave it on default and you get the slop version every time

@Lentils80 @uyintans Dude get off your high horse of crap. I don’t engage with bullshit. Someone asked where the screenshot was from and you could have been an adult and said discord but decided to be a twat. So I did it for you. Now go back to your discord with your fake links and have fun.

@TheArcticDev @uyintans ig all my other posts are fake too 🤔

🚨Major Scoop: The first Claude 5 model, Claude Fable 5 (Mythos-class model) is gonna release very soon! It's the same underlying model as Mythos but with increased guardrails, headed to public release

@uyintans @Lentils80 It’s discord which means someone is spewing out their butt

@Lentils80 Where does this come from? It looks like weird AI slop

@aaronp613 Have fun with that in Canada. All phones are unlocked and they cannot restrict or limit a device for non-payments.

In iOS 27, it appears Apple is working on a feature to allow carriers to limit apps on your iPhone if you miss a payment: "If your balance isn’t paid in full by the time specified in the contract, may block access to most of your apps and their associated subscriptions on this iPhone." It's possible this can mean something else, but it's unclear.

Using AI to write a post about AI not being private. Man I love Twitter.

@benln Completely missing Canada… note well taken.

Cursor team will be visiting 10 cities this summer: • Nairobi • Casablanca • Bangkok • Los Angeles • Da Nang • Manila • Tokyo • Accra • Bali • Kathmandu event details + RSVP on Luma soon!

Pitch me your company in 2 words Angel invested in 40+ companies and always looking for more

@dsherwoodb This is Twitter / X and at this point I believe everyone here is on a specific level of intelligence. I am willing to offer logical responses up to a point then I give up

@TheArcticDev Not trolling, just being a bit tongue in cheek. I thought it was clear from the first ‘I guess the tech isnt there yet’ tweet, and then I just kept going hoping you’d catch on and we’d have a chuckle.

What happens if you have a TTC monthly pass and you don’t tap? Can they ticket you for fare evasion, given you already prepaid unlimited fares? Or is it a different, ‘data-harvesting-evasion’ ticket?

@dsherwoodb I can’t tell if you are serious or a troll now so I am going back to touching grass.

@TheArcticDev Here’s a rapid prototype I drew up for my pitchdeck on the Transit As A Service subscription model. Instead of a challenge coin, you get a ‘challenge card’ with your own unique biometrics, airgapped for max user-data security!

@dsherwoodb Dude, honestly you are upset you have to tap… JUST TAP… I am not sure why we are so deep down this rabbit hole. You tap to get on. You tap when you leave. Why is that a fundamental problem? Let me put this into a tenant issue. You can’t rent without following the rules!

@TheArcticDev Ok, I hear you, but what if we could airgap the card to ensure security of the biometric data? Or is that even possible with where the technology is at, currently?

@dsherwoodb So, you would rather biometrics over the existing solution? That is even more invasive. The simple solution is the most elegant. Put your presto card on your mobile device and tap in and out. Why is that not elegant and safe?

@TheArcticDev Just blueskying here, but what if they had some sort of unique image on each card that was able to biometrically deter card sharing?

@dsherwoodb Technology has been there for 35 years. The issue is people share cards and that’s not good economics. Then people buy cards and do chargebacks on their card and that’s not good economics. So you have a choice, you just don’t like that they know it’s you.

@TheArcticDev I wish there was a way to just buy, like, a physical card that grants me unlimited use of the TTC, and if a fare inspector ever questioned me, I could just show them that card. I guess the technology just isn’t there yet.

@dsherwoodb Not at all, however, I have worked on public safety systems and data is key to safety. So yes, are they using it for demographic, movement, and other stuff. However, there is a public safety component that matters. If that’s a concern, just buy day passes or other options.

@TheArcticDev That’s really interesting. Can I ask if you’re involved with Presto / have knowledge of their capabilities & practices?

@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx Side note: I sent your order number to someone I know at BB USA for you. No promises but let’s see if that helps ya.

@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx Something on the card dispute side sounds fishy. You should get a provisional credit on a TC-40 or even TC-15 dispute. It would be sent to BB for 30 days max turn around. You will need to send in evidence of the correspondence with Fedex. Note: I work in payments

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy. The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it. But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.” Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right. I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

@venkatofl @unosendco Venkat, I have told you months ago, you need to get at minimum SOC2 for larger clients to look at you. I would use you would I would lose my own certifications. Look at @compai and I’m sure they can get you to where you need to be

If your team sends 1M transactional emails this year: Would you rather: A) keep paying monthly subscriptions B) buy credits once and use when needed Unosend → $400 for 1M email credits Valid for 6 months. No subscriptions. @unosendco

@FounderEric Honestly @HubSpot is mine. Free tier, simple, basic. As you grow it grows with you. Vibe coding solution seems like a good idea until you need to maintain it long term at growth or question migration to a larger saas.
