What do you use to create your invoice? Do you have a custom system? I'm looking for a tool that can out self designed invoices but also good for keeping an overview on numbers? Do I need to make my own? An exciting but probably will never end endeavour...

Help! I want YOUR tool :)

I find it absolutely ridiculous that I cannot change my default search engine to the one I want in #Safari without having to install dubious extensions.

Like how is this even legal or even remotely good #UX? 😳

Adobe seems to have figured out that I use unlicensed (cracked) software and never paid a cent to them. In 10 days (if this threat becomes real) will start my experiment into replacing my design tools by Free / open-source alternatives. I will probably give some insight on that process over here, if some of you are interested.

I mainly use Photoshop, Lightroom, Indesign and Illustrator, so they are the ones I'm looking to replace... Curious to experiment with #webtoprint, #gimp, #inkscape, #scribus, #affinity, etc.

Solar Energy (PV) reaches 96% recycling efficiency, wind turbines reach 100%.

Yes, we need more mining ⛏ for the global energy transition. But contrary to fossil fuels, these are mostly one-off extractions♻️.

An important consideration when discussing resources constraints.
