 canoe sorry but didn't you said you are looking for a job?

So you're another guy around here jobless and frustrated and minding someone else's business instead of his own?

You guys can form a club around here of jobless grown men procrastinating on a public forum getting into all kinds of fights for no reason.

Great way to show your maturity and problem solving.

But good luck in your job finding.

Btw I remember you spammed us with the making of that knight logo a while ago, I ignored you then as I didn't know who you were and it wasn't my business, but now that you mention your old project, sorry dude, but you can't get work in this market with that kind of junior level stuff.

You just get upvotes around here from your jobless gang buddies, that's cool.

html_comment: You're a moron

comment: Again, this business of yours here that people shouldn’t be minding. Refresh my memory again on exactly what that is?

comment: I think people just want you to back up your talk with work. If you call that car brand junior level, then show senior level if you have it.

comment: You do a fair amount of telling everyone they aren’t good designers. You have this weird superiority complex and complete blinders as to why you’re so despised.

comment: Why are you here again?

html_comment: Why are you here again?

comment: And for the record, I do not have a superiority complex, it's simply you people being insecure men with touchy feelings.

 With so much content on rinse and repeat, seemingly into oblivion, and especially prevalent in past couple years with the onslaught of specific affiliate-link-farm site types attempting to guise as 'go-to informative resources', the insurmountable odds would seem stacked against 99% of site owners attempting to become a 'defacto source of information', even after such labored steps are achieved.

And then one morning after making a coffee and logging on, the sobering realization that without warning the goalposts for that 'page one' success have shifted once again... controlled only by the faceless corps, motivated by their own goals of ensuring they are for billions of users, the 'defacto source' for search.

comment: its been like this since 2007, the process got realised in 2018 - not a lot has changed other than the hype around it.


post: With so much emphasis now on AI and the massive role it will play in every aspect of our world, and in short time it's stunning ability to enact such widespread change and spine-chilling fomo within the corporate world esp... I worry that when the dust settles we may find ourselves missing the point of all of this... could eventually see an internet devoid of humanness, focused on satisfying AI as end-user with content written and sanitized by and for faceless LLMs.

 Based on my experience AI actually provides a huge opportunity for SEO content generation. You can ask "Deep Research" to write an article centered around a particular keyword and it will generally go out and pull information from the top ranked webpages for that term. So this is a nice way to take what's already ranking and create a better version.

You can also download a spreadsheet of keywords from apps like SEMrush and tell the AI to weave them into the text.

comment: Why the web is so shit now - regurgitated and elongated content for SEO not users.

comment: Keep in mind AI generated content could be anything. I'm talking about using AI tools to write very in-depth articles for organic SEO.

comment: @Nairn Basically content creation as a lead generation strategy. We try to dominate all the keywords in our space, it's better than paying for ads.

comment: trooper I'm not convinced it applies across the board, I think they are targeting "AI slop" and low value, auto-generated content. For me using AI is more a way

comment: to write the "definitive" article on a topic (Deep Research is very good for this) while working in keywords. My client is in the logistics industry and there's

comment: a huge amount of informational content you can create around that.

comment: mort_ Google fired their head of search quality when their paid revenue dropped. its now run exclusively to maximise paid revenue

comment: yuekit the problem with ai written content is it doesnt add  value its just generated on what already exists. just parsing existing info.

 Google Is Caught Between a Rock and a GEO Place.

Google is stuck in a tricky spot. For years, it built its business—and billions in ad revenue—on people searching the web and clicking links. That’s how SEO worked: websites competed to rank high, and Google cashed in on the traffic. But now, AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are changing the game. Instead of sending users to websites, they just give answers. Fast. Clean. No clicking required. This new wave of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) threatens to undercut the very model Google depends on. If Google embraces GEO, it risks eating into its own ad revenue. But if it doesn’t, it could fall behind to faster-moving AI rivals. It’s a classic lose-lose—or a chance to reinvent everything.

comment: The SEO vs GEO war has begun.

comment: so for businesses whats the benefit of GPT for marketing? why should businesses allow their content to be scraped if it doesnt deliver traffic?

comment: I guess there is no different when Google controlling all the web traffic based on a pay to play search result scheme.


post:
 Someone was telling me the types of searches people make right now using AI end up not being the ones that make money.

Most of Google's revenue comes from e-commerce related searches and people are more likely to use a search engine for that.

But no doubt that's part of the reason OpenAI is going to release their own browser -- they want to better position themselves as where people go for search, e-commerce etc.

 "have you ever talked to a fly?"

- Sted

Related, but unrelated...

About 20 years ago I was drifting off to sleep in bed and I felt a house spider crawl over my face - causing me to open my eyes and emerge from my slumber. I watched it scuttle along my duvet and then stand on my bedside table.

I had an empty glass there; not wanting to be roused again, I put the glass over the spider until morning.

I went back to sleep, but I dreamed intensly and vividly about that spider pleading with me from that glass to free it.

As the dream went on, it told me it was short of air, and desperately needed to be released

When I woke up the next morning it was facing me, and on the ceiling of the upturned glass there were speckles of condensation. Just as I had seen it in my dream.

I lifted the glass and the spider seemed to wave one leg in acknowledgement, and then it scuttled off.

topic_title: Grafician Hate Why?

post:
 On one hand, you're out here chasing AUX 88 sets, and on the other, you're mocking Detroit as a “ghetto”?

Do you not understand the roots of the music you claim to like? Detroit Techno wasn’t born in luxury lounges or tourist café, it came from the ashes of industrial collapse, systemic neglect, and the genius of African American futurists. The very sound you're seeking was forged in exactly the kind of place you're ridiculing.

If there were no "ghetto," there’d be no Techno. Not as you know it. That soul, that grit, that innovation? It came from struggle and survival.

And as for mocking me for DJing and going to warehouse and loft parties, were you expecting a Heineken commercial with everyone in Prada? Is that what you respect?

Honestly, I figured you'd be into the raw, Blade Runner back drop and dystopian aesthetic of raving among decaying factories while legends like Plastikman, DJ Bone, Claude Young, James Pennington, Drexcya and tons of others are banging the box. I guess I overestimated you.

topic_title: Epstein / Maxwell

post:
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, reportedly ordered an urgent operation involving approximately 1,000 FBI agents to review around 100,000 documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In July 2025, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, publicly disclosed that his office received information alleging Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered about 1,000 FBI agents to review some 100,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in an urgent operation.

These FBI agents were reportedly instructed to work in 24-hour shifts and specifically told to “flag” any mention of Donald Trump found in the documents.

The agents, many from the FBI's New York field office, worked under intense pressure and within what Durbin characterized as an “arbitrarily short deadline” in March 2025.

Is sigma far superior to XD? anyone try both?

comment: Of course it's superior. Otherwise Adobe wouldn't kill XD. And it's kinda old news :)

comment: Figma is by far superior to XD. I used XD for years. Switched to Figma about 1.5-2 years ago and haven’t looked back!

comment: BTW the learning curve from xd to figma is really easy. Once you figure out subtleties between the two you should be golden.

[User] Gnash

comment: Ya, Figma does way more, but I only needed XDs functionality at the time. Glad I made the switch as Figma has a great ecosystem

[User] aliastime

comment: Loved Figma when we switched from XD. Now our designers are using v0 and Lovable more, some Figma, but not near as much.

comment: interesting thanks guys. Aliastime, are they still designing the look and feel in figma or another software and letting v0 or Lovable prototype/create the sites

comment: or are they letting ai also do the design?

[User] grafician

comment: Figma is free, you can always work in the Drafts folder and don't bother with paying, BUT if you work in teams, it's gonna cost a lot more than Adobe CC

DC's 'Absolute...' series has been really good so far. Best of all, for me, is Wonder Woman - like Daniel Warren Johnson's truly incredible mini-series, this takes WW in inspired directions.

Raised in Hell by Circe, she has the power of the Amazons but is also a disciple of dark sorcery. Artwork is top-tier, with Diana actually looking like she is from the Mediterranean rather than a Photoshopped WWE wrestler. Writing is excellent throughout, with great dialogue and perfectly-placed one-liners. One of the (very) few books I look forward to each month.


post: I'm still a bit confused... is Adobe finally killing off XD, or did it get a new lease on life after the failed merger with Figma?

comment: Nobody cares about XD. Or Adobe these days

comment: They had it on the chopping block forever. I would assume it’s getting killed, but haven’t heard anything new about this for a while.

comment: It's not very good and needs a complete rethink. I think they will try and go straight to a prompt to prototype app for UI design would be my guess.

comment: They haven't supported XD since late 2023. I liked it and got an entire team of people using it from 2021-2023; the simplicity helped make this possible.

comment: I've only used Figma since late 2023. Using it daily for enterprise application work these days.

comment: Figma also works for a lot of other things other non-design teams are working on. Examples: Miro/Keynote/Acrobat...

“President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO — which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November,” White House deputy spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement."

 Random idea just popped into my head: do you think people ever think up and design a band identity - name, stylistic approach, art, etc. for a band that doesn't exist yet and somehow sell that identity to a new band?

It would have to be a totally new band, I realize that bands rarely "rebrand." But maybe for an established artist starting something new?

No idea if people do this. Just popped into my head while getting some fresh air at work.

If you come up with a good band name, concept, style etc then you could just create the band yourself!

MidJourney to come up with the band members.
It can remember all the people so you can show them as a group or individuals in different situations for social posts.
Midjourney also does great video now.

Udio or Suno to create the bands music.

Use something like DistroKid to get your music on Spotify, YouTube, TikTok etc

post:
 I'm quitting my job effective november 1st to go travel for 10+ months. Starting in SEA, planning on Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and from there things are pretty much unplanned. Me, myself and a backpack. My longest trip ever. At least that's the plan. I might last 4 months, I might go a full year.

Brought a laptop, and some travel-sized music and DJ equipment. Might work on some music, might play some sets for crowds of around 5 people.

I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I want to explore the world. I want to watch TV in a different time zone. I want to visit strange, exotic malls. I'm sick of eating hoagies. I want a grinder, a sub, a foot-long hero. I want to live, Marge! Won't you let me live?

Wish me luck!

topic_title: The Healthy Thread

post:
 Haven't been focusing on my usual habits for way too long, been in the mid 170s most of the past year, not tracking macros, not exercising enough.

Going to a wedding soon and a few weeks ago tried on the suit I'm wearing, which I bought when I weighed around 164. Super tight, didn't feel good. Realized I needed to crack down, and I've gone from 172.6 to 165.6 in the past month, and 170.4 to 165.6 in the past week.

How:
- Intermittent fasting (keeps me from snacking in the evenings)
- Avoidance of sugar
- Tracking my macros and sticking to my 1,700 cal totals except for maybe one cheat day.
- No beer except maybe on Friday or Saturday (I LOVE the sugar free Finnish Long Drinks, so I have those if I want during the week, and they're 100cal and no carbs)
- Consistent Peloton rides and outdoor rides (rode 16 miles last night, burned 1,300 calories)
- Fat burner at noon when I break my fast, makes me feel full for hours. I take Burn XT, it's loaded with caffeine and I used to avoid stim fat burners, but this works well and is nice and cheap at $28 a bottle compared to so many other alternatives. https://www.amazon.com/Burn-XT-C…

Feeling so good. Kind of pissed that I bought some new clothes recently when I was around 174. I feel so much better in the 160s, and accomplishing this makes me so much more relaxed.
