My kingdom for a computer whose UI is that clear. Buttons that look like buttons, window meat between content and edge, persistent resize widgets, visual hierarchy aligned to functional hierarchy.

So much is lost.

well that's fun.. my hosting provider of ~17+ years suspended my account for not paying an invoice... which they never issued. #Facepalm

I keep wondering whether I'd be better off with a Linode instance...

Cooking a bit of a gearbox I've been carting around with me since ~1994, and which in my younger goth / industrial days was used as a candelabra.

It's going to become a part of a sculpture soon, but first years of caked on wax, incense ash and dust have to be melted off.

Good to know this salvaged benchtop fan oven can get hot enough to oil / wax steel, however.

Not that I do self-promo stuff very often, but if you're into #Comics, and like #Cyberpunk ish stuff, while feeling horror at the banality of the developer-friendly middle-class clean-streets hellscape our once grungy textured cities are becoming, perhaps you might enjoy my little 230+ page DRM-Free #EPUB #GraphicNovel, that I spent the past ~20+ years nibbling away on.

Every sale helps an #Indy #Artist to make more work.

@davew my goal was to make them of commercial quality, and sell them so I at least (eventually) get back the money I paid the programmer. But paying the programmer first is the intent. The risk it doesn't attract an audience is mine.

It's mostly small, focussed tools / apps to fix/replace things that have been broken in the name of progress and fashion, or neglect in MacOS.

@davew As a user, my biggest problem is finding independent developers who have an interest in solving the specific problems I have... even finding out IF a thing is possible, let alone how much it'll cost for them to make it.

Like, I want to fund some small (Mac) apps, myself if necessary... where to from there for a non-programmer?

Called the Qld Museum to see if I could speak to a conservator to get some ideas for preserving some very delicate, rusting steel for use in a sculpture. No one was available, but the guy who answered the general phone queue just happened to be a hobbyist blacksmith and metal object enthusiast, so 👍 .

@humbird0 @raphaelluckom What I can't get over, is how few "web coding" apps implement BASIC stuff, like auto-populating the HTML tags when dragging an image into code, or rewriting links / sources when moving files within a site.

It's like no one writing HTML coding apps today ever used GoLive or Dreamweaver. Forget the WYSIWYG stuff, the basic code & file management of those apps was better than most modern apps.

GoLive's Outline View remains one of the best UIs I've used in 25+ years.

Watching Capture One getting ratioed to hell by its users is a real popcorn moment.

It's a wonderful insight into how enraging people find the Software Slumlord Subscription Scam, and how the venn diagram of "subscription software vendor" and "dodgy scam artist" is basically a circle.

#Art pet peeve - describing a digital artwork by an analog material name.

It's not an "oil painting", unless it's made using actual physical oil paint.

Undo, layering, zoom etc are such profound process differences, that to fail to acknowledge them is riding a line in terms of artistic honesty.
