@_elena @elena Varnish Software is a VC funded corporation with ~84.5M SEK annual turnover.
They can afford to hire a designer and pay them properly like they do everyone else who works for them.

@aral thank you for letting me know this Aral. I will take down my post... your comments have been really eye-opening

@woe2you @andycarolan in all fairness maybe they are not aware of this because they are technical people who don't know designers. I will make sure to pass on your notes and feedback. TBF even I didn't know about this (and I'm a photographer / filmmaker)
@_elena Thanks Elena, oh yes, I'm 100% sure that it was well intentioned. It's totally impossible for us all to be aware of sentiment and practices within each other's industries. I'm sure I've taken missteps on occasion lol.
Thanks for the discourse, and I hope that VinylCache find what they are looking for :)
Wishing you a great day!

@andycarolan @woe2you thank you Andy! I've edited the post, updating it with the general sentiment... and I've also passed along your feedback - along with other great suggestions for alternative approaches - to the Varnish people.
Safe to say I will NEVER AGAIN look at design competitions the same way. Thank you for enlightening me about this - and for offering me grace 🥲

@_elena You're welcome! Thanks for leaving the post in place with your edits! 🙂

Just a side note... this is what I love about Mastodon. We can have respectful and helpful discussions with each other about this kind of thing. It's awesome!

@andycarolan perfectly said! Thank you Andy ❤️

@_elena @andycarolan It's not a nice opportunity, it's exploitation.
No matter how much you personally like the software, this is shady as fuck and they've lost all my respect.
@woe2you @nclm @_elena @andycarolan @aral and everyone else who commented: THANK YOU
for now, i learned a lot - we need to decide what to do next.

NEW: The U.S. Congressional Budget Office was hacked.
@GossiTheDog says that the cause may be an unpatched Cisco ASA firewall. I asked CBO about that but it did not respond to the question.

Russia, niente più visti UE per ingressi multipli. Si dovrà fare richiesta ogni volta

Varata la nuove stretta in nome della sicurezza. Kallas: "Il visto è un privilegio, non un fatto scontato"

@francescotoniolo comunque nel caso del mio compagno mi sembra difficile fare quegli "errori" senza AI. Quando si fanno pasticci a mano, si può sbagliate la data di pubblicazione, dimenticare qualche dettaglio importante o pezzi del titolo, "unire" due articoli dellə stessə autorə (titolo di uno e rivista dell'altro), o anche proprio copincollare l'articolo di una persona sotto al nome di un'altra. Ma inventarsi tre combo di autorə, titolo plausibile e rivista mi pare difficile.

Wow, UW is beautiful. Excited for #Seagl!
