Nothing could match the highs and lows of this

@rmondello Are there some examples of implementations done this way, but done well?

One of my fav #RetroGaming series is the WipEout games, from #PlayStation 1 and beyond.

The #design and #art of the WipEout game logo was created by The Designers Republic in 1995, a: landmark icon in Y2K graphic design.

Looking at the design, you can notice these letters are actually made from partial 8 glyphs. Below are the overlays of the Wipeout logo with Eurostile’s 8 glyph:

(and in an LCD screen, all numerals in a 7-segment display are created with the 8 numeral :)

@joethephish This is brilliant! Where’s the best place for feedback, if you’re wanting any?

The App Store's upcoming Accessibility Nutrition Labels are a great idea:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/apple-unveils-powerful-accessibility-features-coming-later-this-year/

But I worry that without verification, the features will be poorly understood and inconsistently implemented by developers claiming support.

I wrote back in 2014 that I wanted App Review to let us opt into accessibility testing, and show a badge for apps that pass:

https://marco.org/2014/07/10/app-review-should-test-accessibility

Could be a great way to improve outcomes for customers AND give developers more value for the 15/30%.

Do you approve of the state of the software industry?

@Sonikku @djlink Also the music still holds up today!

“No computers.” the guard said harshly, holding out a metal box.

I put my phone in the box. He didn’t budge. I took off my smart watch and added it in.

“Are you sure you have no more computers? The detector sends out a brief EMP. It would be a shame to destroy any gadgets. Or injure you." He was staring at the side of my face.

Ah. I removed the Connex from my temple. I’d forgotten it was there.

He ushered me into what looked like an old electronic doorway, then pressed a button. A light flashed.

"You're free to enter. Enjoy." No smile.

I passed through a corridor to desk where a receptionist smiled. "First time?"

"Yes, is it obvious?"

"Don't worry. It's simple. Through the double doors there you'll find the main selection of books, by era and topic. It's colour-coded and easy to follow. You'll need these if you want to touch anything." She put a paper mask and thin laboratory gloves on the desk.

"Behind you is the iffy section, as we call it. Books printed after 2015."

"2015?! I thought AI printed books only appeared in the mid 2020s."

"That's probably true, but we can't be sure. Preserving authentic pre-AI knowledge is our raison d'être. We can't be too safe."

Her look turned serious and I saw the devotion to the cause in her eyes. Since the Big Corruption of '32, no digital files could be trusted to replicate original human knowledge. This library was a time capsule.

"Can books be taken out?"

"No, I'm afraid not. We couldn't let them back in, as they could be fakes."

"So, can I copy things? My phone and Connex were taken away. Do you have a camera to message me chapters?"

"No, we're strictly machine-free. but we have several scribes. They're very good." She was enjoying my puzzled look.

"They can copy down whole pages for you. With pen and paper," she answered my unspoken question.

"Pen and paper?" these were words of tales and myths.

"Come, I'll show."

Oh. Nice they repaired/replaced this for free though… Anyone interested in buying a like-new Nintendo Switch?

Woah what an exciting time to get a special parcel from Nintendo!

Seems the demo sites from #FigmaSites aren't so responsive they work at tiny sizes. Tiny bit embarrassing. It's no Framer or Webflow, but I’m sure it'll be useful for some people!

Corner Clock is now available in the App Store!

Corner Clock is a digital clock for Apple Watch users that want the absolute maximum amount of information on their wrist.

To everyone who participated in the TestFlight, thank you.

@jamfactory Welcome back Gavin! I’ve followed and admired your work for a very long time, it’s nice to see you here!

@kern Really liking it thanks Kern! Simpler but actually has nicer functionality than a similar app I purchased a while ago.

Can’t believe Mama Mia dad #3 was a huge part of the rebellion against emperor Palpatine all along!

Not sure when this kind of leap will happen again in videogames or any kind of computer software https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@djlink/114443532584104664

I grew up steeped in the "I would die for my country" or "I would die for my children" or "He died for our sins" where death was the ultimate showing of love...

...I have to sit with that.

But what I want to know is... Would you live for your country? Would you build for your children (and their children)? Would you help out your neighbor even if they don't follow your god?

Would you fix. Would you love. Would you grow, heal, and cherish for those around you?

Death is easy. Life is hard.

The greatest showing of love is to live and to help others live and to increase that quality of life.
