As a business intelligence professional, I have tons of good use cases for vector graphics in my work, but I've never really understood all the hype around Canva, especially since PowerPoint can already fulfill most of those use cases. I'm certainly no graphic artist or UI/UX designer, so maybe I'm not really their target demographic, but I know plenty of BI professionals who are *rabid* Canvangelists.

But those winds may be shifting, because Canva is *quadrupling* its license fees, and they're saying that the price hike is justified because they've added a bunch of AI features. 🤣

Did they actually ask their users if they even want AI features in the first place, and if so, how much they'd be willing to pay for them? Judging from the huge backlash about this policy change, I'm going out on a limb and guessing not.

Terms like "useless" and "waste of time" were bandied about. I’m shocked, I tell you.

If anyone on Mastodon hasn’t checked out phanpy.social, you really should because Catch Up is such a brilliant feature in lieu of algorithm. You can load all the posts that you might have missed from the past several hours and the results page has a summary of links and accounts. Probably the only improvement it needs is by offering specific start and end times. @cheeaun is a goddamn genius for this.

Phanpy’s Catch Up screen that lets you show the posts from your following since how many hours ago. It also shows a disclaimer that the instance might limit the number of posts that the app can fetch.

I've never understood why the act of taking a screenshot generates a persistent notification by default in most screenshot apps.

Like, I already know a screenshot was taken; I'm the one who took it! And if I need to do something with the screenshot I just took, I want to either click on an ephemeral toast notification that pops up immediately after, or set the screenshot app to save all screenshots to a folder, and then retrieve them from there if/when I need them.

Persistent notifications for ephemeral actions should not exist.
