Had another, more wide-ranging, demo with Apple Vision Pro today. Ask me anything.

@gruber What’s surprised you most about the UI paradigm, or about the UI itself?

@ryanmiglavs@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Were you able to learn what sort of limits there are around number of windows or apps?

Always pay attention to the people politicians exclude from their definition of “anyone”.

Wow, Reddit admins removed volunteer moderators from subreddits that had voted to protest Reddit’s new policies, archived the subs, then deleted all posts making fun of Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (Spez).

This is the behavior of a child tyrant.

Fuck u/spez, and fuck Reddit.

(And do they really think this will go well)

Excellent parsing of that disdainful press release from Apple about their “compliance” with new EU rules, by M.G. Siegler.

“Did you know there are risks in not using a secure payment processor? Probably. But did you know that apparently only Apple offers a secure payment processor?” https://spyglass.org/apple-to-eu-drop-dead/

@daringfireball If you leave a window in a room and walk to another room, does that window get blocked by the walls or show through them? Like, could you leave one set of apps in your home office and another set of apps in your living room?

@RustyBertrand Whoa, I don’t know the intricacies of Mastodon moderation, what does this mean?

ryanmiglavs,
@ryanmiglavs@mastodon.social avatar

@RustyBertrand Whoa, that’s pretty extreme.

Did they notify you with a reason and a process for appeal?

(Again, I know /very/ little about Mastodon moderation)

I hope if you move instances you migrate your connections, because I enjoy your posts!

So, the app I want most on my Apple Vision Pro is MYST. I first got sucked into that world on my Mac in middle school (maybe elementary school?), and I might literally cry if I got to go there in VR.

    @schwa Noice!

    I’m heading to Japan for the first time for three weeks in July — if you’re feeling it, I’d love to hear any faves or tips!

    And I hope you get the trip you’re currently toying with!

    Finally, my years of experience in building a text editor for iOS have paid off in my job where I was tasked with developing a text field that inserts separators in social security numbers and phone numbers as they're entered 😄

    @simonbs Excellent work! That is not easy. Kudos for handling the details.

    Boy, Notion's UI design is all over the place, huh? No visual hierarchy at all. Ugh.

    ryanmiglavs,
    @ryanmiglavs@mastodon.social avatar

    @gedeonm Yes! I was briefly excited by its concept and the excitement of people who love it, then immediately repulsed by actually using it.

    I do not understand how anyone sees a giant wall of Tailwind utility classes in their markup and thinks, “Yep, that’s the best way to do this.”

    People, Tailwind is fucking garbage! Just learn actual CSS!

    @gruber I know it doesn’t mean much, and I know one reader who has read literally every post of yours for 20 years doesn’t mean much, but when thinking about Google employees protesting their company working with the Israeli government, I hope you can maybe think about this photo instead of thinking about how Google must be an amoral business dealing with any genocidal fascist government.

    You are wrong. You have sided with genocide. Please! Please! Please!

    @gruber

    1. Those weren’t the only people fired.
    2. Every protest is disruptive. It’s the point. Disruption is the only tool available when there’s a major power imbalance.
    3. Every protest comes with comfortable people clucking their tongues, agreeing with the message, just not how they’re protesting. Rules, policy, decorum. Conspicuously, these folks tend to only criticize the protesters, not those with power who quash them.

    @gruber You’ve several times stated that lots of Mac users’ computers “are overrun by adware and other scammy software”. This seems way off to me, I genuinely haven’t heard a thing about that; none of my family, friends, or coworkers seems to have this situation.

    Do you have some data or examples backing that up? Especially considering how many scams make it onto the iOS App Store?

    I’m truly interested, I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m just trying to argue with someone on the internet.

    Finished The Terror season 1. A grim, gripping series, with impressive art direction and wardrobes, convincing performances, and Ridley Scott as an executive producer. Recommended.

    I haven't seen The Terror season 2 (yet) though. It's a separate story, and I noticed that it has received lower ratings. But I enjoyed season 1.

    @metin Season 1 is incredible! Season 2 is also good, but not quite great. Still worth watching, though. It continues using magic and mythology to explore humanity at its breaking point.

    Pretty pleased with this redesigned app icon picker coming to Runestone for iPhone and iPad soon.

    Screenshot of the redesigned app icon picker with the app icons unlocked.

    @simonbs Very nice! I recently designed one of these screens (not sure when it’ll actually get into the app, though). Yours is quite lovely and nicely simple!

    @benthompson @gruber I’ve followed you both since literally your first posts. (What, about two decades for Gruber and one for Ben?)

    Been a subscriber to Dithering for years.

    Gotta cancel based on your flippant dismissal of Google employees protesting their company doing business with a government committing genocide.

    It’s not “politicizing every little thing”. It’s genocide. Pretty big and obvious line, not very subtle or complicated.

    Very sad to leave.

    ryanmiglavs,
    @ryanmiglavs@mastodon.social avatar

    @gruber @benthompson Oh shoot! Thanks for letting me know.

    I edited it, but not sure how notifications work for edits that change mentions.

    Just wanted to share my sadness and disappointment, maybe you two would see it. Heroes of mine.

    ryanmiglavs,
    @ryanmiglavs@mastodon.social avatar

    @gruber @benthompson Yes indeed. Edited.
