I don’t know, I am moderately excited about Apple updates

- Passwords (RIP 1Password)
- Math in notes (RIP Soulver)
- Tiling (RIP Rectangle)
- iPhone notifications
- Better screen sharing
- Apple Pay in Firefox

All this is directly useful for me specifically, so Yay!?

I feel sympathetic to all the businesses Apple will “sherlock” with this update, but as a user, it seems good for me?

Unless they fuck it up of course

@nikitonsky 1password kinda deserves it though. It’s almost remarkable how much worse (slower, buggier, more expensive) their Mac app is today compared to 5-7 years ago.

@nikitonsky I mean, I used to love 1Password but they really fucked it up so.. 🤷‍♂️
Never tried the other two though

@nikitonsky Not sure I’m ready to give up Soulver or 1Password just yet! I doubt Apple’s versions will do enough for heavy users?

Meditated a lot on this picture. Apparently phone means very specific thing to younger generation, like “handheld computer with apps”. And very specific apps, too, because this one has Google Maps and YouTube, and it’s still not a phone

@nikitonsky idk if 1996 counts as younger gen, but the only phones I’ve ever owned were iPhones.

To me, phone in this context is shorthand for something like “connectivity” or “the internet”, but in a total way. If you have your phone you can make the real world stop and the digital world begin. That’s what this person is not doing for the summer.

The crappy screen on their replacement phone is more important than not having YouTube. Just my read though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@nikitonsky this is awesome. I wonder what they would call the thing on the left?! Hand me my ……?

We analyze your own handwriting so we can correct your handwriting to look more like “your” handwriting.

This industry is beyond parody

@nikitonsky Microsoft has had something like this in OneNote on the iPad for at least six years. Only Apple has the temerity to congratulate themselves for releasing something over a half decade after competitors.

I dunno who this “Al” guy is, but I’m glad he’s finally being added into iPhones.

If only there were a version of the uppercase letter i that didn’t look like a lowercase L… that would make a really useful character alternate these days.

Wait so Caves of Qud is sci-fi but NetHack is fantasy? And former takes place on the surface but latter in caves? How does that make sense? What’s next? Dwarf fortress is not a fortress but a dungeon?

@ivyroadgames

Looks intriguing and right up my alley…

(Sadly I don’t have a Windows box or PS5. Any chance there might be a Mac or Switch version, somewhere down the track?)

Niki Tonsky

Not very straightforward, but I admire the inventiveness and problem solving inside a limited toolset of CSS

Bringing Unreal Engine into car dashboard goes about as well as you’d expect

Alex Trine

@nikitonsky is it just video or it lagging after any user interaction

I kind of like that this dropdown doesn’t have the usual Ascending/Descending options.

Because we actually know the order already. Names are naturally ascending, Last Updated/Stars are naturally descending.

Adding an option will just add more unnecessary complexity

morganist

@nikitonsky but what if the user wants the reverse order?

Niki Tonsky

Okay, you asked and I delivered. allekinos.de/ should now have ALL the cinemas

gleb.zhulik

@nikitonsky о, а где ты данные берешь? Я хотел телеграм бота сделать, который бы раз в неделю присылал премьеры с OV и сразу ссылки на покупку билетов, но нашел только платные апи и забил. Интересно было бы такого бота сделать?

Honey, are you okay? You barely use your herring phone

I saw the best minds of my generation fighting with borrow checker

HAMMER SMASHED SIR 🇺🇦

@nikitonsky speaking for the mediocre minds, we're fighting too

@nikitonsky "starving hysterical naked" is much more succinct than "pants are optional for remote working".

If you were curious what fresh installed Windows look like... It has cheese! 🤷‍♂️
