Oh, the audacity! A font company patting themselves on the back for not using AI 🤖, as if designing #typefaces sans robots is akin to slicing bread by hand 🥖. Next they'll brag about their cutting-edge technology: the wheel! 🚴♂️

Ah, #Inkscape 1.4.4 — because nothing says "innovation" like releasing yet another version of a vector graphics editor nobody asked for 🙄🎨. They've perfected the art of copy-pasting "Draw Freely" like it actually means something, while hoping the release notes will make us care. Spoiler: they don't. 😏📉

” # A great place to start any critique or conversation is to ask the designer how — not why — they did something. Asking why immediately puts them on the defensive, while asking how invites exploration of the concept’s origin without the need for justification."

🎨 Oh, look! Another article glorifying the lineage of "minimalist design" as if we're not all overpaying for it already. 🙄 From the "revolutionary" Braun T3 to the iPod—because who wouldn't want to compare a dusty old transistor radio to a digital music player? 📻➡️🎧
