On the topic of Alan Dye and the home button though, the swipe gesture interface they introduced when they removed the home button strikes me as one of few genuinely successful system-level Apple design innovations in recent years. That at

Liquid Glass I agree with. Not sure if the Touch ID comment is intended as a joke.

For a good while, Mac hardware was held back because of hardware design. That changed soon after Ive left. Maybe the same can happen with software now.

It’s good in the sense that it feels like a Mac app. It still has its fair share of bugs and unimplemented features though.

For images, https://same.energy is a nice option that, being abandoned but still functioning since a few years, seems to naturally not have crawled any AI images. And it’s all around a great product.

Because it allows the effect of the curvature to be customized by hand for each letter shape by a skilled designer. Fonts like italics, bold or condensed can also be approximated with simple geometric operations, but I think you would agree

Hug of death, it seems. https://hex.xyz/news/2/ has some info about the font.

This is about how each character adapts to the radius, not the path itself. Each character is tweaked so the design holds up as it’s curved. I don’t think you have tools to do that.

The changes in the Aladdin and Lion King stills surely can’t be accidental side effects? The Aladdin shot especially looks like they deliberately shifted it to a different time of day. Could there have been a continuity reason?

Hardly. Its actual mission seems to be: ”A no-noise email roundup of all the must-read Nintendo news”. I’m sure it did exactly that for its reader. It might not the best article to submit to HN though.
