I have started KDE color transfer of Soundtrack Pro. It is low contrast and takes some time to adjust but I find it useful for long hours of work. I prefer most of the contrast to stay in active working area/canvas etc. It is WIP and

Funny, my primary work is UI and front-end, I was Apple user for 20 years and now I am in Linux Desktop land without any problem what so ever. Finally after long years of fiddling with chaos of markdown files I invested the time and switche

The point that I am making has no connection with your argument. My point is that historically ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/330451.Civilisation ) art quality is defined by cultural levels of the elites. Imp

Beg to differ. From my practice, design and illustration in the analogue times had higher standard due to lack of "technically" available tools, templates and lowest visual standard ever created by corporations or patrons. You had

The sad part is that this aesthetic even "modernized" enough will not be approved by any major media outlet of today. Mainly because "the trends" are pseudo stylized 3d or flat shapes with childishly over-saturated color

Actually there is unofficial Figma-linux flatpak/snap package which is functional. But it is like other "local" web-apps for Windows and Mac. I hate SaaS model and I hate online only approach. But since pandemic started this

I hate Figma for: Browser only experience. Even when I save locally a file I cannot use it when offline. This may sound strange, but the browser only approach is not future proof and makes me really uncomfortable. Pushing new functionality

My alternative is to use smartphone only in exceptional use cases, as banking apps or emergency calls. For calls use simplest phone available. Actual phone calls are the best user experience. Emotionally fair and transparent. You don'

This is also great, but I personally like more subtle and emotional rendition of Alicia de Larrocha / André Previn. In classical music performances the ultimate mastery is in the subtle differences, but as rule of thumb more emotional

I started building Hackintoshes in early 2008, just from curiosity. I remember successfully running 10.4 on a netbook. https://archive.org/details/mac-os-x-tiger-10-4-8-hackintosh... https://www.youtube.com

The difference about before and now is clear. Cost of self-hosting is low and increased algorithmic control over content is making UX unbearable for artistic use cases. That is my point. It is obvious that content silos will be monetized an

That new search engine is cool as f. Instant Bookmark. Reminded me about HN in early days, I practically formed part of my career based on the shared content here. The other part was formed by the Apples HIG. Good old days:)

Actually it is easy to build Hackintoshes, even with AMD. Catalina is running stable with Apple ID and all the bells and whistles. In the past when Apple ignored updating Mac Pro Trashcan for several years, we have build a monstrous PC wit

You are essentially right. That's why I switched my focus from UX only to UI and front-end implementation. Fighting for 20 years to educate programmers and investors on the importance of Human Centered Design and Function over Form app
