@futzle It depends. Fold In or Fold Out?

@mwichary This is extremely interesting. I didn’t realize how little I knew about that “futuristic” typeface (and many similar ones) from my childhood in the 1970s. Thanks for sharing.

The 30 rock meme where Tina Fay as Liz Lemmon asks what a week huh? And Alec Baldwin rep replies to her lemon, it’s Wednesday.

On m'a fait découvrir cette magnifique écriture créée par @imadetendrilis sur Tiktok, j'adore :blob_cat_flower:

#Tendrilis

Cette page révèle que les lianes sont en fait des phrases, et présente l'alphabet où chaque lettre est représentée par un dessin simpliste de feuille d'une certaine forme. Les voyelles sont détachées de la liane, et certaines lettres ressemblent à leur version latine.

Présentation de la règle : on commence par dessiner la liane seule, avec un trait plus épais que celui qui sera utilisé pour les feuilles. Les lettres suivent la direction de la liane, de gauche à droite et de haut en bas.
Des dessins montrent des exemples, comme la version basique où on fait une liane droite par ligne, et d'autres versions plus créatives comme une seule liane qui suit une trajectoire sinueuse, ou une forme d'arbre dont les branches représentent des lignes.

Dernière règle, les mots sont séparés par deux épines symétriques. Un exemple est donné, on peut y lire la phrase (à l'origine en anglais) : "quand j'ai mis en ligne ma première vidéo sur Tendrilisj'ai pensé que ça toucherait 10 personnes maximum."

Il y a un deuxième exemple en version esthétique (avec une seule liane en zig-zag), mais je n'arrive pas bien à le lire à cause de la signature par-dessus.

@avram Which then clearly inspired the cover art for Atari 2600 Space Invaders, as the painting has way more in common with the Boston cover than the game itself. I’ll never forget those dome-city-flying-saucer hybrids.

Cover art for old Atari game cartidge for Space Invaders. Features late 1970s airbrush art of flying saucer UFOs. Also features Atari’s bold marketing claiming 112 games in this one cartridge. In it’s day, it was a fun one, though.

@mcc I love this Orz as metaphor so much!

@lcamtuf A fascinating history lesson!

@panic This will affect the workflow at my job, but the company is small enough that I can get them to drop Google Drive instead of Transmit. Thanks for a great app that I used to consider as good as a first party app and these days consider better than a first party app. Thanks for decades (!) of work continuing to make a utility app such a delight to use.

Jim Thornton boosted:

We're very sorry to announce the end of Google Drive support in Transmit. Google's policies requiring time-consuming and expensive annual reviews have made it impossible for us to maintain access.

It's not a decision we took lightly, and one that affects how we use Transmit ourselves, so we're super bummed and extremely sorry.

More details on our blog.

@futzle haha. If you oversleep, you wake up tomorrow! It is an interesting problem. Well then, I’ll settle for just getting rid of Daylight Saving Time. Not sure if they do that where you are.

@futzle PST. So it would be an adjustment for me too.

UTC For Everyone. If we all get used to it, people in the future will think we were mad in the old days.

@hotdogsladies Incredible photo. The detail, the colors, the personality. Nice job.

@kalleboo @sysop408 This is an amazing thread. Each post is a new unexpected and horrifying (and delightful) surprise. I haven’t said “!?!” that many times in a long time, and I read the news every day.

@dmoren No love for Caledonia?

@rands Thanks so much for sharing this. I don’t know how I never watched this one before now. It’s a great example of Jobs’s exceptional skill of simplifying complex topics into conversational language with no bullshit, while painting a picture of his vision of the future. That then happened, as you said. A fun follow up video is the Q&A at WWDC 1997.
