@petros @MsDropbear42 @BinChicken @daedalus It’s going to be really funny when people realise the way this will be implemented is that *everyone* will be required to give photo ID to Facebook, etc.
I may just have deep cut to the centre of the earth.
@mogwai_poet Goodthink rectify to correct malquote for Airstrip One history from Minitrue.
This really is one of those “great moments in human culture” events.
@DamienWise @weirdestate Of course it specs matte black fittings; that’s how you know it’s from the font of averaged-to-mediocrity that is LLM.
@StefanThinks What we should all trust instead is Musk’s company which does Brain Surgery - I’m sure it’s equally competent.
I chopped up a couple of Habanero chillis an hour or so ago... OH GOD MY HANDS ARE ON FIRE AND WASHING IN WATER, SOAP, AND MILK DOES NOTHING!
If #StarWars wants to impress me with “gritty realism”, it's not pointless-to-the-plot hour long wedding raves I want to see, it's the pit fight montage from Conan, but between members of Yoda's race. Look at his feral little pointy teeth - tearing a neck out, while wagers are made and collected on the side, that's what we want.
Ooh look at that - another #BetterThanLiquidGlass #UI Theme for #macOS, from back in the days where #Apple wasn't ruled by cowardice, and its UI designers could handle the pressure of people being able to demonstrate, and see work that was better than the house style. https://social.erambert.me/@macthemes/114708500046231236
@jalefkowit Your reminder that The Autopian was one of the sites that proclaimed Elon Musk’s NAZI salute was an “awkward wave”.
"It might be assumed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a huge supporter of Trump who was seen all over the inauguration furiously and awkwardly waving at people,”
Jay Leno, being 75 on why he likes being 75; having never been a high school athlete, he never had the student athlete injuries, and so everything still works “I can go back to my high school reunion and beat the shit out of the football quarterback...”
@adventure_tense There’s also Ansel, a somewhat snarky fork by one of the Darktable founders who doesn’t like where the project went. But again, single window.
@adventure_tense I mean it does seem like a feature they *could* implement - tear-off palettes are a thing in Qt apps like Krita 🤷
@adventure_tense I looked at Darktable on macOS, but couldn’t get past the UI not having tear-off panels. I use 3 displays, specifically for photo processing where I keep the thumbnail & file browser on the left, the viewer / editor in the middle, and all the controls and palettes on the right. Capture One is where I’m at now. It’s a better editor, but not as good a workflow solution (as Aperture).
@adventure_tense no matter how much companies like Apple talk about “delight” or “magic” in their products, Aperture was one of those astoundingly rate pieces of software that was pretty much entirely without pain points. Every feature, every workflow was “if you could have this exactly as you would like it”. It was a tool whose operation was so sublime, it made you want to do the task, just to use the tool to do it.
I don’t think Apple is remotely capable of doing that any more.
@TheOneDoc well it was sortof NeXT-y, but also quite MacOS Platinum. IIRC it was a visual style only used by Aperture, Final Cut and Logic, “Pro UI Style” or something similar.
@oscherler @wezm This is how I’m solving it, more or less.
@dasdom Find me an app with an inspector panel that can be torn off into a separate window, the way *every* app (iWork being the poster child for this) used to be able to do.
It’s not just SwiftUI, AppKit (or at least trends among developers) have lost huge amounts of functionality over the past ~decade.
@jeanetienne yup. Its raw engine was a bit long in tooth, but in terms of workflow, it’s still way ahead of anything else. Sadly it doesn’t read my D850 files, so I’ve retired it.
