 hey if you’re considering getting a studio display, just get the fancier stand at purchase. if you don’t and decide to upgrade it later, it’ll be out of warranty and cost you $677 after tax and will take two weeks. on the plus side, they let me keep the stand. and now it’s a bookend biden ought to be doing way more DOJ and agency management stuff in his last few months since he doesn't have to face political ramifications anymore. commute sentences of people on federal death row so trump can't go on another killing spree if he winds up in office. order the EPA to freeze new fossil fuel permit processing. redirect labor dept resources to more aggressive wage theft enforcement. make the NLRB fast-track every union election process  Maybe Biden should be demanding the DOJ open more investigations into Trump's Congressional co-conspirators in the insurrection and the perpetuation of the Big Lie. here's the angle: pardon young thug and tie that into a larger RICO reform directive. like have the DOJ limit RICO cases to only large-scale criminal enterprises. it has no business being used against protesters and labor unions and street-level operations since the penalties are insane (20+ years, asset seizure before conviction, unfavorable plea deals)  @samhenrigold People have this weird idea that Democrats are progressives, possibly they get this idea from the Democrats themselves...  @samhenrigold @lickability Very astute observations in this thread. Love the attention to detail.   @samhenrigold nailing *just* the right amount of nuance like that, so it's detailed without wasting the reader's time, is such an impressive skill @geoffhackworth Hey! Would you mind divulging the details behind this Adaptivity view? I’ve been wrestling with trying to extract typographic measurements from SF Symbols to replicate those Settings.app category chiclets but haven’t been able to nail it. Your grid seems to be pretty close, showing the baseline and optically centering the symbols and all. @geoffhackworth I got close-ish (right) but I’m not thrilled with the result and really wanna nail this There are some fun nerdy implementation details in the blog post here.

 @samhenrigold Ngl, it me. Something about that feels like home. Freedom, and home.  Here’s an optical trick for designing italic fonts: keep the vertical stem at the regular slant, but add extra slant to the bowls to bring more energy and dynamism to the character. oh hey one of the apps I worked on just released! made for developers…by deve- i thought that was gonna more clever but of course it was made by developers https://apps.apple.com/us/app/revenuecat-mobile/id6504531798  design is fun because you’ll make a largely inconsequential change one day and the outcome will be either be “it comes and goes like a passing fart” or “someone writes 1000 words about what it means for how we interact with our environment” and no in between https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/10/iphone-broke-its-calculator/680271/  @samhenrigold More and more, I sympathize with people who hate having their tools change in an unpleasant(and unasked-for) way. Designing basic tools shouldn’t be like this! None of the software I got good at using 10 years ago still exists in a similar or functional capacity! it doesn’t feel good to one day wake up and realize somebody, somewhere, has decided you can’t do that thing you rely on anymore :[ @samhenrigold @ryanashcraft Actually, why the hell, in 2024 we should still have calculators as "simulators" of those old standalone electronic calculation machines from 1970s? I never really understood or appreciate all those C, CE, MC, M+, M- buttons... Why not just type (67+5)*45 and just get a result? With all the modern text editing on hand? @samhenrigold they don’t mention that if they just long press Backspace in Calculator, it functions as the C that they want Granted, it’s not discoverable Note slapped onto a French sidewalk advertisement:

 @KiwiEV Also Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) have been involved in bribery (paid $26mil to settle), Chinese collusion, and putting up giant billboards where there used to be nice views of trees. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-feb-25-fi-clear25-story.html it’s hard to explain sukkot to my non jewish friends and make it not sound like a strong confirmation of evil cabal ritual conspiracy theories. “so basically we get together, build a structure in our backyard, and shake a Not Lemon to thank god for the harvest. Then we go back inside and dad watches CNN until bedtime.” jewish holidays are either a bummer or weird as shit. sometimes both. purim commemorates the defeat of Haman’s plot to massacre the Jews and we celebrate this by eating triangle jelly cookies and playing with noisemaker toy cranks. it’s been explained to me but it doesn’t really matter why

 @terraboops @terraboops Absolute support for the Bats here. I have most of their albums on CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXaeCQueqkU (The Bats - Courage)  I'll see you all next year with quote posts or in therapy, whichever comes first #mastodev   @samhenrigold my kingdom for quote posts ... well ok my imaginary kingdom which is totally cool 🧐 “joe biden and kaMAla harris has totally failed at the border, you take a look at what’s happening and they’re letting in the hamburglars,  “iOS n+1 concept mockup” and it’s just the mac icons jammed into a phone frame if that was their intent don’t you think they would’ve gotten around to it in the past half decade since Big Sur came out  @samhenrigold They did shake things up recently by doing visionOS icons instead of macOS icons  @samhenrigold Thankfully they’ve now moved on to “glassmorphism” and having blurs everywhere was reading an article when they just dropped that [my neighborhood] used to be, and i'm quoting here "the home base of the most notorious pro-Nazi group in 1930s United States" so i look up the wikipedia page and HOLY WOW I'M NOT LOVING HOW LONG THAT HISTORY SECTION IS!! OH GOD THERE ARE RALLY PHOTO FROM MY STREET. I feel like this should've been disclosed before I signed my lease |

Lmao wtf this costs about as much as the monitor itself should cost new if it wasn't criminally overpriced for what it is. Also that $100 "upgrade fee" in addition to "hardware repair labor", what is it even for?
@samhenrigold It'd be nice if Apple just did what most other pro-oriented monitor manufacturers have been doing for ages which is to make the stand attach with standard VESA mounting, allowing the buyer to freely switch whenever. Feels silly that I had to specifically order a VESA variant when ordering mine.
@samhenrigold Incredibly glad I got the VESA version haha, but I'm also particular about having the monitor high up
