Want to know how important developers are? Apple trusts them to build the killer app for the Vision Pro within the next 6 months. Apple has unlimited resources, but they know giving tools to the dev community is the best chance they have to succeed. Always bet on developers.

serious question: who can I pay _today_ to do a high resolution face and/or full body scan for future a/vr? </replies also available on mastodon>

I will happily live in a world where every. single. huge. black. monolith in every. damned. living room, hotel room or lobby is replaced with a device you can put away and a nice bit of _real_ art. Or better yet, a window!

One is _currently_ about replacing labour, ignoring copyright, and making algorithms intractable, the other is _currently_ a tool to enable collaboration, connection, and creativity. Just depends on your perspective. </resumes quitting Twitter>

What an interesting moment. We're staring at two distinctly different visions of the future. They may co-exist, but they are radically different takes on what's modern, what's current, and where things are headed. One vision gets the UI out of the way. The other vision is UI everywhere you look. One vision gets the computer out of the way. The other vision mounts a computer on your face. One vision is get it and go. One vision is get it and stay. One vision is about information. The other vision is about immersion. One vision is natural and understands you. The other vision requires new methods of interaction that you have to learn and master. One vision feels like an assist. One vision feels like obstruction. One vision fits with whatever you already have. One vision requires you buy something that fits. One vision is simply text. One vision is anything but. One vision feels like before. One vision feels like after. But I'm not sure which is which.

@shazow @opencollect @gitcoin Hey, we announced (linked in post I believe) in sept 2021. Apologies about not following up on that req but I became ED in March 2021 so may have dropped it in handover.

@BenJam Hm, only email I see from @opencollect about crypto is announcing it's closing. We asked for crypto support in ~2020 as we were getting funds from @gitcoin that we wanted to put in our OC, but were told it wasn't possible and never heard about it since. Disappointing.

After a year of work, @ecosyste_ms now indexes more packages than @librariesio It's been a long journey for @teabass and I since our work on Libraries but Ecosystems is already powering the next generation of researchers, policymakers and application developers in open source ✌️

I’m sad that Jake died a few months ago. Jake was in my Advent Calendar in 2018 and he was everything I want from people who get involved with that project. He was funny, silly, self deprecating, enjoyed laughing at himself and just ‘got’ the whole thing. (A thread) (1/6)

@kneath those taps are also terrible. Would recommend a pull-out tap over one of those any day.

@kidhack @rogie yup, a skilled craftsperson can chisel a mortise perfectly. Everyone else uses a mortiser. I didn't see anything in the original post about the skill level of the user and assumed zero :D

@BenJam @rogie At first it’s definitely more of a hobby and science experiment than just making espresso, but eventually it’s ritual. The UX is great, if you’re a “power user”.

@kidhack @rogie Incidentally I will probably get a lever machine next, but only because I have 15 years experience pulling espressos.

@kidhack @rogie I.e simple meaning simple mechanics does not mean simple user experience.
