I feel like VR has been the next big thing almost my entire life. I remember watching TV shows in the late 90s talking about the VR revolution that was just around the corner. It seems that Virtual Reality™ is still just screens on faces. T

I suppose... but I'll always know that it's some sort of cheap trick to make me think they're still here when really their consciousness ceased. Will the simulacrum age? Will it change? Will it ever surprise me or intrigue me

My gut reaction to 'recreating loved ones in VR' is that it would be torturous more than soothing. Once a person dies, they're gone. The world is different, and nothing will bring them back. Spending time with a simulacrum is

Well, people collecting film cameras is one reason it's getting more expensive.

I've had a few Nikon FE bodies. I think they're excellent cameras. But I did need to have them serviced / repaired from time to time. Depending on where you are, buying from a second-hand camera shop is a good avenue because

Totally agree. Typography is similar to grids in the same way. As a design it's tempting to set up "a perfect grid" so your life will be easier and everything will look great. But it's often better to know how and why gr

At some point the images from phones are no longer photographs… but some kind of photo-illustration. Taking landscape shots with new iPhones creates some very intense over-saturation of skies and some general HDR-like balancing (even with H

Also, various industries would never be subsidised; automotive production in the US would have disappeared decades ago in a truly free market.

Is it art? Or are they just pictures?

Agreed. For Telsa 'beta' means 'unfinished and unsafe but released anyway'.

Well sure, pictures and video on another page. I assume the point of that blog post is to generate interest in the OS, so being able to discern details in the screenshots seems like a reasonable expectation in that context.

Would be nice if the blog post included screenshots big enough to actually see what it looks like.

The one ad that I saw for Meta (The Tiger & The Buffalo / this is going to fun) certainly make the "metaverse" look like it's supposed to feel like drug-induced hallucinations.

This is more than just enough to be dangerous, this is more or less the bible of using typography and typesetting, but not type design.

Starbucks isn’t the standard for coffee. They’re almost more of a dairy and dessert company than a coffee company.

Censorship is the state saying "you cannot say this". Trump is still free to say whatever he likes, and Twitter is still free to moderate its platform.

Transferring ownership of a project seems like quite a big step in order to get support. I'm not familiar with hooks.io, but transferring ownership of something that seems promising in return for support for another thing feels a bit s

A ‘45’ is a small vinyl record played at 45rpm instead of the more common 33rpm for the regular ‘long play’ or ‘LP’ vinyl record. A ‘45’ fits only a song each side, so usually for releasing singles. And ‘German’ means German.

Taste is subjective, but design can be objectively critiqued. Graphic design exists to change behaviour, and in this case the behaviour is to use apps based on recognition of a sign/symbol/icon. In this case it seems reasonable to
