MacKey Composition

As we've come to see, @Twitter is circling the drain thanks to manbaby @elonmusk. Their latest action of blocking 3rd party apps like @tweetbot was the last straw b/c their own app is filled with garbage ads. Apparently the sink represents what Elon planned to do: sink @Twitter

@ID_Extras @YouTube I wonder if this could be used to automatically apply the correct language hyphenation dictionary to text in @InDesign ?

Great tutorial about our Translate add-on: Automatic translation in InDesign youtu.be/6ixO3IzXvLY via @YouTube

@amarie @InDesign I needed to make all acronyms of 4 or more letters small caps for a book. I was using “\u\u\u\u+” while ChatGPT suggested “\u{4,}” both of which accomplish the same thing. I believe I just asked “What’s the GREP for finding 4 or more uppercase letters in a row?” Impressive!

@MacKeyComp @InDesign It knows InDesign GREP? that is amazing. What did you ask it to find? Did it get it right the first try?

Amazing.

I really don’t understand why the decision was made in #macos13 Ventura to remove the “Hide” application option for automatic login apps in System Settings > General > Login Items. It’s been there for 20+ years of macOS. Can you explain @AppleSupport ?

@ID_Extras It’s really good at writing GREP too! It’ll be handy for those of us who know enough to dabble, but not enough to write GREP without help

(1) Ok guys and gals, we're out of a job! Here's the ChatGPT input:

I want to sell paper to Congress. They print reams and reams—thousands of pages—of shit no one has the time to read before they have to vote on it. Could there be a more defunct system?

Question: RGB images provided that need to print grayscale, but color for online articles. Better to convert to grayscale in Photoshop and create PDF, or keep as RGB, create PDF, and convert PDF to grayscale in Acrobat? @jmvrankin or @dblatner would love to hear your thought…

@typefi @typefitter @InDesign I should have mentioned that @typefitter 5.2 adds support for @InDesign 2023, released last month.

@typefi released @typefitter 5.2 with support for @InDesign! Anyone who sets books and other long documents definitely needs this plugin. I don’t start using a new version of InDesifn until Typefitter is compatible. You shouldn’t either!

🎉 #Typefitter with Adobe @InDesign 2023 support is available now! Learn more: buff.ly/3TEzF9z #InDesignPlugin #typography #AdobeInDesign

2/2 Didn’t see that “Peel” and relied on past experience. Called @AppleSupport and was told I was her third caller with the same issue. Guess I’m not the only one who missed it. Need to make that more clear Apple. Thankfully I realized the problem b/c I almost called again!

1/2 Bought a new iPad and traded my old one in. @AppleSupport sends you a box for the old device. In the past, the box included a shipping label. Now however, you simply peel off the label used to ship the box to you which reveals the return label.

PDF Checkpoint now supports #macOS #Ventura: bit.ly/3FK8qHm Also fixes issues where ICC based color mode of some images was reported as Indexed instead of the actual color mode (CMYK, RGB etc.) #PDF #Preflight

@Pixar Monsters Inc is hands down one of their best movies. Just watched the part where Sully, Mike, and Boo are hiding from Randall in the bathroom and my son asks me “The monsters are all different but why are the toilets the same as human toilets?” #MindBlown

And so the shit show begins. I don’t know what the kerfluffle between @Adobe and @pantone is, but I don’t see @QuarkXPress or @affinitybyserif having any problem. appleinsider.com/articles/22/10…

@jmvrankin @CreativePro_com @conradchavez This article didn’t appear for me until after I signed in to my account. Otherwise, I’ve been seeing the same stories on @CreativePro_com for more than a week now. Is that correct?
