Apple seems like the kind of company that would greatly benefit from having someone opinionated at the helm to keep the different teams oriented towards a unified vision and to int…

Meetup has become the worst service I use, bar none. They pretty much doubled our group fees from $200 a year to $400 a year, then started putting giant banner ads at the top of al…

You cannot use bold or italics in plain text mode in TextEdit. It is truly a plain text mode. If you try to switch from rich text to plain text, and you utilize any rich text featu…

I'm in Tennessee but can still access it. It seems like the law was blocked by a federal judge. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2024/12/31/tennessee-a...

You can use the time to think and process, or to rest your mind. Hardly useless!

There may be some screaming into the void, but at least some of it breaks through. I was someone who, for years, bought into the idea that being idiosyncratic and self-expressive a…

I've seen the sentiment building over the last several years. Though I think part of why it's such a prevalent sentiment now as opposed to a few years ago, is very obvious signs of…

I think it's a pushback against the emphasis on individualism in our culture, which many find does not lead to real fulfillment. When you start a family, you're giving up your own …

It is certainly a stronger argument in the gun case, since defensive usage significantly outweighs criminal usage and most people don't even shoot anyone. Here we're dealing with a…

I think one problem is some people don't realize that some of these models and implementations are so highly agreeable that they practically are mirrors. This kid seems to have bee…

Yeah a big reason I started doing pixel art back in 2009 was because it enabled me to do lots of trial and error by changing pixels until I got it to look good. It's much harder to…

I was at a Honda dealership in late 2021 looking for a car, and I mentioned to the car salesmen how I don't like how touchscreen-dependent cars have become. Then ten minutes later …

I wish they would provide useful customization features, such as adjusting the drop shadow on the app names that appear under the icons. Look at those images in the article; the "N…

Mac OS 10.7 was a downward turning point. That’s when the iOSification started.

It’s very funny and strange that one of the defining characteristics of modern GUI design is that everything is very large. Lots of whitespace, buttons twice as tall as the cursor,…

Echoing what others have said. When I used DuckDuckGo, I would have to resort to using Google all the time because Google's results were often better. Since switching to Kagi, I ne…

I have the same experience. Dark mode automatically turns on way later than I’d like it to. From the article: "It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only …

I installed this app earlier this year, and uninstalled it a few days later after I noticed it constantly using obscene amounts of my internet data.

I simply was working far less than I actually wanted to. Being good at my craft and producing good work is important and enriching to me. For people with my priorities, it's not go…

I've always been fascinated with NeXTSTEP. It's kind of unfortunate that even the basic interoperability features that made it over to Mac OS, like Services, seem underutilized. I …

Probably one of the most damaging ideas I ever bought into (some time in my late teens) was the idea that people are not generally capable of being productive for more than 35 hour…

What does it mean for everything on screen to have a relationship to everything else? Could you elaborate?

There actually were things of note from the early demos that didn't make it into the final game. For example, the way you created your creature had gameplay implications. Things li…

How could it not be innate? One of the most noteworthy properties of humanity is our tendency throughout history to make unparalleled technological progress. Surely something like …

He’s actually using Stencyl, which has a programming interface based on Scratch.
