Do you usually ask clients to leave a review after a successful project, or do you just leave your feedback and let the system do its thing?
Have you found that asking politely increases the chances of getting a review, or can it come across as pushy?
Since AI has become part of many freelancers’ workflows, whether it’s for coding, writing, design, debugging etc.
I’m curious where people stand on this.
If you do use AI, do you tell clients that you use AI tools? If so, when? If not, why not?
I’d love to hear the reasoning behind your vote in the comments.
When I take a screenshot on macOS, the floating preview thumbnail in the bottom-right corner disappears after just a few seconds.
Is there any way to increase how long it stays visible before it disappears automatically? I use it pretty often to quickly annotate or drag the screenshot into another app, and I sometimes miss the window.
I know I can disable the thumbnail entirely, but I’m looking for a way to make it stay on screen longer instead. Is that possible?

I have an Excel file with around 50 product names, and I need each row to become its own folder.
Is there an easy way to automate this on macOS using Shortcuts, Automator, AppleScript, or something similar?
Another positive post since I saw one earlier in this sub
This is all from the last 6 days.
I have a degree in animation and web design, built 5 websites plus my own portfolio site, and started applying on Upwork. I focused on writing proposals that felt personal and relevant to each client instead of sending the same template over and over.
Right now, 3 clients are interviewing me, which honestly feels great. I’ve been unemployed since the beginning of 2026, so seeing actual responses this quickly has given me a lot of motivation.
I’ve worn sunglasses for so long that they’re basically part of my face at this point.
Outside I wear regular sunglasses, but indoors I often switch to lightly tinted glasses because bright lights, supermarkets, offices, hospitals, and those cursed fluorescent ceiling lights feel way more intense than they seem to for most people.
The funny part is that I sometimes wear the lighter tinted ones indoors because I feel less self-conscious than wearing full sunglasses inside and looking like I’m trying to evade the police.
I’m curious if anyone else does this for sensory reasons. Does light overstimulation affect you that much, and have tinted lenses helped?
They claim that it’s the source.
I was came across a TikTok where a healthcare worker was laughing about finding out a patient was allergic to an antipsychotic a sedative.
Maybe I’m missing context, but it honestly rubbed me the wrong way.
If a patient has an allergy to a medication, especially something as serious as an antipsychotic, why is that funny? People can have severe reactions, and for some patients finding the right medication is already a long and frustrating process.
I get that healthcare workers use humor to cope but when the joke is basically “haha, my patient is allergic to their medication,” it starts feeling less like coping and more like making fun of someone’s medical problem and its so fucked up. Imagine someone who has these allergies take the pillsand they get tons of really bad side effects that are rare and are allergy driven but they don’t know because it has a lot of “side effects”
