@GabeTognon It’s fun!

@FredWanders You been putting that poor little printer to work hum 🤣

3D printing some little experiments and coding a site over the weekend. How about you?

@ALTIC_DEV @WisprFlow Its def. Better than wisprflow. Thx!!!

@FredWanders @WisprFlow Fluid intelligence is not cloud provider btw ! It’s fully local :) highly recommend!

Over the past few months I've been really frustrated with @WisprFlow. Replaced it in 1 click with a better free local model. I really recommend you do the same, it's night and day. Just copy the Claude / Codex prompt in thread and you're set : ]

@joaopaulots Someone takes himself verrryy seriously. Have fun with that

@FredWanders Life saver

Can we officially say that the hype around design subscription services is dead?

@joaopaulots Just answering your post.

@FredWanders Thanks for the lesson

@olegcoada You're a brand designer, the logo takes the whole page with you guys : D

As a designer, I’ve never heard: “Make the logo bigger.” or “Make it pop.”

@its_sslvr @WisprFlow yeah it just runs a local LLM on your mac

@FredWanders @WisprFlow By local do you mean you run it on your own system? Considering this for voice to text!

FOR MAC : Codex / Claude Prompt to copy paste === Set up FluidVoice on my Mac as a system-wide Wispr Flow replacement. I want local, private speech-to-text that works in any application, including WhatsApp, browsers, email, Notes, terminals, coding tools and Codex. Please follow these requirements: 1. Install FluidVoice only from its official GitHub release or official website. 2. Verify the downloaded release before installing it. 3. Use local speech models only: - Parakeet v2 for fast English dictation. - Parakeet Flash if available and suitable for live streaming. - Parakeet v3 or Whisper only when multilingual support is needed. 4. Do not enable Fluid Intelligence, OpenAI, Groq, Cohere, Gemini or any other cloud provider. 5. Disable anonymous analytics. 6. Do not save microphone audio unless I explicitly request it. 7. Ask which microphone I want to use, then configure FluidVoice to use that microphone. 8. Grant Microphone and Accessibility permissions when macOS requests them. 9. Configure a convenient global shortcut: - Prefer the Mac Fn/Globe key if I want the same shortcut as Wispr Flow. - If Fn is unavailable, use Ctrl + Option or another shortcut I approve. 10. Configure push-to-talk or hands-free mode according to my preference. Ask me which mode I want if it is unclear. 11. Enable live transcription preview and direct insertion into the active text field. 12. Enable automatic punctuation and smart capitalization where available. 13. Do not configure cloud AI keys or remote transcription services. 14. Test the setup in Notes, WhatsApp, a browser text field, an email composer, a terminal and Codex. 15. Confirm: - Which speech model is active. - Which microphone is selected. - Which global shortcut is configured. - That transcription is running locally. - That analytics, audio history and cloud providers are disabled. You already have my permission to install FluidVoice and download local models. Do not repeatedly ask for installation confirmation. Only pause if macOS requires a system permission that I must personally approve or if an action would delete existing data.

@AlfiFromToasty Just making some firewood man

@FredWanders Godamn what you up to?

Cutting some wood and getting my daily sunshine before going to draw some pixels.

am using to iterate on existing assets - not to generate the style and direction. That's not the same thing. Nevertheless my conclusion stands, I'm going to use more AI for dev work and non creative processes (am 80% automating many low value tasks) and less for creative flow.

@FredWanders Eh but im seeing crazy AI usage in your designs. Ofc you cant just use it all but more for asset generation and custom icons and all that ya know

I’m seeing way too many AI shenanigans on my TL Can we all pls just use AI and produce some insane designs and get clients and get paid?????

@robin_faraj ?

don’t quit your job take it from someone who quit his job to pursue his dream

@clarityx @michalmalewicz fair

@FredWanders @michalmalewicz some people like coffee, some people like tea. 🤝

I never understood notion. Now I know why. They don't understand themselves either.

@clarityx @michalmalewicz To each their own. I'm happy with Trello and notes / google docs. + my custom studio OS to coordinate

@FredWanders @michalmalewicz brother, notion is so far from pointless.

@AlfiFromToasty But does it cover accidental damage from trying to look cool at the beach

@FredWanders HAHA NOT MY MACBOOK BRO 😭😂 at least I got applecare

GM Trying to decide new profile picture 🤔

@michalmalewicz @clarityx It's kind of a fascinating branding case study though. How can a product that seems pointless at best get such a following? Geniunely curious

@clarityx I used it a couple times and it was slow, unresponsive most of the time and kinda felt clunky.

@twoclipping Right

gpt 5.6 + seedance 2.0 is a f*cking cheat code swapped fable out of my ugc system for it and the whole thing runs 10x cheaper and faster now proof: one of these girls is a real creator. the other is the ai rebuild. same script, same visual hooks you won't clock the fake inside the system im running: - the character ref prompts (named imperfections stack) - the video prompts + the anti ai negatives - the one line fix every gpt 5.6 script needs - the full rebuild workflow reply LEFT or RIGHT and i'll dm you the answer + the full prompting system (follow so i have dm access)
