 @samhenrigold thatās what happens when you just keep going and going and going and never take a break Letās just have a look at the FACTS. Insurrections on the Capitol before Siracusa stopped writing OS X deep dives for Ars Technica: 0 After: More than zero. Iām not saying those reviews were the glue holding this country together, but yes i am @samhenrigold this is the causation analysis I was looking for. Idk why this wasnāt reported before. i was at a show when he died and i missed my chance to send pithy timely posts. now i gotta think of something rushed. kissinger? more like. uh. kissin-jerk. listen you need to give me more of a heads up

 @samhenrigold My first name on Spotify was Gorthaag, destroyer of worlds. I had to change it when I started getting added to blends. Right now Iām working on updating the visuals for the link preview card for Mastodon Android. Glad to announce we beat Twitter to the punch by developing the advanced technology required to display the link title and description. āThe title. The description. The domain. The image. Are you getting it? These are not four separate designsā i keep seeing social ads from microsoft with the narration āhereās a hidden gem in NYC: the Microsoft store on fifth avenue is a great place for gamersā and i canāt describe the deep sadness i feel when a company calls their own retail store a hidden gem

 You know maybe making the stores an open LAN party will draw better traffic than just saying āHey mister, need to buy a Surface?ā āA what?ā  @samhenrigold @joesteel these social media commercials that are set up like influencer videos are INSUFFERABLE. The worst are when one person pretends to be two people having a very forced conversation  @samhenrigold @joesteel The always empty Microsoft Stores across the US were an embarrassment for many years. Their consumer strategy built around Windows Phone was doomed, closing the stores was the only rational thing to do. Leaving the NYC store open was silly, but itās certainly hidden š i need to book a flight by the end of the year so i can use an expiring $500 delta flight credit. where go  They once gave me a $75 credit after delaying my flight from NYC to Moscow and causing me to miss my connection that I was stupid enough to buy as a separate ticket. I wanted to use it 2 years later, when I traveled to the US once again, only to find out that it's expired ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ idk, go to California  @samhenrigold as someone that just got back from Paris and Strasbourg, I have to say Paris and Strasbourg arenāt bad. London is always the easiest to deal with. Domestically, New Orleans is probably the most interesting direct flight for you from NYC on Delta. an uncomfortable few months in 2013 where flat design was *around* but was not yet mainstream so designers were only flirting with flatness: a highly specific thread

@samhenrigold This was literally alllll of my web / app designs from that time period haha! 1px border. 1px inner shadow. Slight gradient. 5px corners. Slight drop-shadow. Absolutely loved designing and building 'em! Now it's just solid flat box, solid flat box, solid flat box...mayyybe some rounded corners. Done.  @samhenrigold The Vesper app was another proto-flat app. https://www.theverge.com/2013/6/6/4402898/vesper-app-for-iphone-john-gruber-brent-simmons-dave-wiskus calling for a global moratorium on all no-name/drop-shipped furniture. i had to tape down a table to not wobble because it wasnāt weighted in any direction, so putting any weight on the back would cause it to slip and fall. shop, wayfare, amazon in particular, youāre all dead to me. they had the audacity to ask for a review at 8pm after people have finished their drink of choice. rookie mistake. Iām breaking out the sass in full force to roast this shit table. (sharp inhale) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/21/cuomo-mayor-adams-00128380 going through my spotify wrapped from years ago when i was a freshman in high school and absolutely heaving. i would 100% cut this idiotās earbud wire if i saw him today. i stand by $20 nose bleed and thatās it NotebookLM is an extraordinarily fun experiment to use. I just got access earlier today and it's really something else. You dump a bunch of text sources into a ānotebookā and that trains an LLM so you can interface with it about your specific sources (with citations). I gave it a bunch of research papers I archived from my college days. As a chatbot, itās whatever. As a search engine, itās incredible. This is the best way to search a large corpus of papers. ārest in peaceā being synonymous with death implies that, while youāre alive, you must rest in irritation and conflict. bed rotting as a form of self preservation. a social and emotional prophylactic for the rest of today, if you will really excited for people to begin testing out these new designs weāve been working on! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/11/improving-the-quality-of-conversations-on-mastodon/  @samhenrigold great work on this! excited to see it come to ios too. also, for your consideration: publishing a mastodon HIG. I think it'd be useful to cement some interface/interaction decisions that *should* appear across all party apps. (particularly considerations around handling CW, accessibility, alt text, reporting, nudges like above, etc.) @samhenrigold @Gargron This looks really cool, especially the stranger bio info and the notice for old posts. From the screenshot, the general guideline info seems like a lot and might feel overwhelming. Iād suggest reducing the copy, but I guess thatās what the testing is for. Keep up the good work.  remember when microsoft went full horny on main for their new terminal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE @samhenrigold Amazing, they advertised a terminal emulator like it was a new phone or something. I do like WT but this is a bit too much  @samhenrigold Oh man, one of the best āif Windows software actually looked like it did in their marketing videos it would be amazing, but it doesnātā videos out there š |
