Inspired by this great idea I saw @robb blog about, which in turn was inspired by @hotdogsladies, I’ve created ‘A Gentle Intro’ for 4 artists. 3 are my all time favourites, and one is because Robb’s choice got me to listen to a whole lot of The Lonely Island.
@robb@hotdogsladies Eels - my all time favourite band. This was a tough one to narrow down to 7. Like REALLY tough. I have a tattoo of the title of number 4.
@robb@hotdogsladies BC Camplight - Brian Christinzio only came across my radar about 6 years ago but he’s already an all-timer. His darkly comic lyrics are beyond compare and his music very catchy and inventive.
@robb@hotdogsladies The Lonely Island - They have a great podcast at the moment recapping all the SNL digitial shorts but these are some favourites. I’m particularly found of the utter stupidity of Mona Lisa and Threw It On The Ground.
“NO ONE WROTE THIS! GOOGLE WROTE THIS!”
I think whoever picked this screaming doofus to open Google I/O should probably do some soul searching after this presentation is over.
That Open AI demo yesterday really upped the game for virtual assistants. Even more interested to see what WWDC brings now. Chat GPT is now leagues ahead of Siri
That said, the new Chat GPT assistant was a little too keeno for my liking. Not sure I could put up with that endless optimism on a daily basis. I am British after all.
Given an existing app with a decent amount of unsubscribed users, what would be the best way to gate more features without annoying those existing ones? Although the existing users are the ones I want to pay…
@aaron_pearce@agiletortoise It’s probably good to offer a buffer or a trial for those free users so they can see what the new app is like and try the other premium features so they ‘get a taste’ and hopefully want more?
All I want to do is expand the canvas for an image I'm working on in Photoshop and for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it without triggering their generative fill feature :dumpster:
@matt I also hate how the mini task bar just keeps popping up next to selected items in Illustrator. I literally keep turning it off in the menu and it keeps coming back. Honestly, I love Adobe’s apps for what they can do but their UIs are frequently absolute trash.
I love how so many people are like “these reviewers are paid off” and this guy’s like, “nah, it’s malpractice for a reviewer to actually give a bad review.”
A historically bad tech take that should be put in a museum.
@matt I mean, if Marques, probably the fairest reviewer out there, is giving your product this bad a review, maybe it’s you that’s the problem, not him.
@matthewcassinelli Good to hear. Also seems like they know how to film action better. The action in the first 2 episodes was so badly shot but I recently saw a big scene from episode 1 of season 2 and it looked very good (though not perfect).
