Don’t force customers to watch a cartoon before they can interact with the website. Especially returning customers who’ve seen the very same cartoon hundred times already

oh no, I'll have to learn Polish but at least the slides could be in a language I'm more familiar with  @nikitonsky screen sharing on Sequoia is truly fucked. The amount of time my team has wasted in meetings because of it is growing quite rapidly  @nikitonsky Yesterday the magnifying animation on my Dock broke. Would just appear magnified based on where my mouse was when it hit the bottom of the screen (I use autohide) and not update. That's been there what, nearly 25 years? #30daymapchallenge Day 2 (Lines): Sequential postcodes of Germany, making use of the unpopular 🌈 rainbow color map. This map was inspired by Kate, aka @pokateo_maps on the bird site.

  @koriander Anybody else see a head facing left, light green mouth, yellow nose/eye, reddish hair, somewhat punk style?  Almost all blogs put “next page” URLs at /2, /3, … /n. These are *bad URLs*, since they’re constantly changing. Instead, do the following: choose how many posts you want per page (p), as usual. But make an exception for the main page, which waits to hit 2*p posts before dumping p posts to the next page all at once. Now your “next pages” won’t change, so they can have persistent URLs! So, number your URLs in *decreasing* order: /n, /n-1, … /1. As a bonus, “/1” conveniently has your first posts!   Bug or intentional? macOS 15.1 completely removes ability to launch unsigned applications Many MacOS users are probably used by now to the annoyance that comes with unsigned applications, as they require a few extra steps to launch them. This feature is called Gatekeeper and checks for an Apple Developer ID certificate. Starting with MacOS Sequoia 15  @osnews dammit, Apple. I know you are addicted to the AppStore walled garden (enough that autocarrot is correcting my capitalization of it on my phone) but pushing this model onto the Mac is going to end in tears. You actively hate computers now, don't you?  @osnews Remember when Microsoft tried o do that with Vista? The anti-virus vendors screamed anti-trust and won. It would have solved so many security problems with Windows, but it would have broken every single AV engine on the market.  @osnews I know you’re more interested in hyperbole than facts, but it’s still possible to remove the quarantine flag from files and run non signed apps.

 @nikitonsky I hope there isn't someone in the world ungodly enough to make craft beer out of this.  Good news! Apple will be moving some of the keys on their Magic Keyboard to the bottom because “who uses these keys anyways”. Many people argue it’s actually good design

 @nikitonsky Oh jeeze... The sad part is that I actually had to double-take before I realized the picture was satirical. It's just... SUCH an apple-y move, and exactly the type of move that would have the apple stans climbing out of the woodwork to defend it. Like the monitor stand. Or the cheese grater caster wheels.   @nikitonsky With the slow but steady deterioration of keyboard design, we will get there eventually. As I understand it, quality control is basically non-existent at Apple these days For a while, we thought they just don’t care about Macs, but iPhones still should be okay? Well, they aren’t anymore.

 @nikitonsky @jaywilliams does the person have two left hands or are you suggesting that it takes two people to perform the operation? @nikitonsky plot twist: you usually don't :D also, “from the designers of Magic Mouse”  @nikitonsky ... but.it.was.wroong!!! It's like a skewed centering of text in html, but in *real life*! Yes I forgot how to check two intervals for intersection. But isn’t it fun to figure it out from the first principles?

  @stroughtonsmith I see people pointing this example out all the time. I just can’t replicate it. Writing Tools tries to shame you if you use it on profanity — it pops up a modal dialog if your source material has swear words —, but then it goes and works anyway? So what is the point of the alert?

 I mean, seriously. Who OK'd the kind of user experience that will yell at you, every time, for no reason if it even slightly disapproves of your language. What kind of bubble are you living in?  @stroughtonsmith probably designed to give you a heads up that it will excise or skip over any content like that? So people don’t accuse it of “sanitizing” without letting you know it’s not what it was designed for first.  |
