Yeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

I really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.

I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.

Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.

I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.

Once you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.

Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.

IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.

Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.

Ahh yes. The “put everything in a little pill” design trend.

Got a screenshot?

I still see the UI I’ve seen for months on web and mobile native.

A slashdot post? Is it Y2K?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lemmy’s daily active user numbers are not big enough to be a worthwhile astroturfing target.

The real reason people shit on AI here is because it’s a platform with a bias toward people who are fairly tech savvy and or work in a technology field. Which is why every 3rd technology post here is a Linux circle jerk.

A lot of users here understand the technologies and are working in spaces where they’re being asking to “implement AI” by idiots who don’t understand the tech and aren’t trying to solve a user problem.

And of course, the video was preempted by an AI slop ad of a talking monkey wearing a neck brace.

!videos@lemmy.world is a good one for stuff like this. That community loves their work.

Agreed, but I do think that some jobs are just going to be gone.

For example, low level CS agents. I worked for a company that replaced that first line of CS defense with a bot, and the end-of-call customer satisfaction scores went up.

I can think of a few other things in my company that had a similar outcome. If the role is gone, and the customers and employees are being served even better than when they had that support role, that role ain’t coming back.

Cool pic.

This could look rad with a square crop. That would allow you to center the stairs and clip that electrical pipe.

I love that they also designed some ways to save space. Most of us no longer live in a world where we print multiple times a week. Printers just sit around and take up space while they do nothing for months on end.

This thing is small, wall mountable, and you don’t need to store flat packed paper.

These folks should win a red dot design award for this. Really smart industrial design all around. They really solved a lot of different problems, not just the ink problem.

Yeah, there are several other ingredients in that. OP should be drinking straight ethanol out of an old Tupperware.

Ps: build yourself a sodacan stove!

Ahh. I thought you were talking about Apple charging for PWAs or something.

That said, I believe push works now.

It requires iOS 16 and MacOS 13.

The devices that max out at those operating systems are 9 and 10 year old.

Got a source for that?

I’m a dev and have a bunch of PWAs on my iPhone. You can install them right from the browser using that same old “add to Home Screen” behavior that has been in iOS for an eternity.

I’m posting this through voyager for Lemmy, installed from my browser, not the App Store.

Something worth noting, if you are using iCloud, advanced data protection is your friend. Apple doesn’t have the encryption keys, you do.

This is not on by default.
