@nitzukai ???
it's ok to be wrong nitzu
fun fact: the brushed metal window chrome was so advanced for its time that this reportedly caused major panic at Microsoft because they were unable to replicate this effect well in Longhorn (I remember reading this somewhere)

So recently, Adobe decided to act upon the fact that they're bellends by revoking my Photoshop access out of the blue. They've since restored access but this downtime got me thinking that I'm kinda tired of people drawing comparisons to Syndromatic designs with Apple to the point some say it's a 'pixel-for-pixel remake'
anyways I'm setting fire to everything I've done so far and trying to figure out how the hell do I make skeuomorphism look viably modern whilst retaining that 'lickable yet classy' look
more to come.
tl;dr - no more gloss

the constant push to make UI invisible and the promise of "elevating your content" has always been bullshit
let software be software, stop hiding the UI. let them have colourful buttons and contrast in toolbars
this is no different than the failing push of touchscreens on cars

Apple has ruined the user interface designs of its software. This exploration by Pixel Envy is damning.

@3kliksphilip pls go to Bombay (and try some food from parsi cafés like Britannia & co./drinks from pubs like doolally)

@nitzukai Mac OS X, being UNIX based (and particularly optimised for Apple computers) is just so uniquely performant on some given hardware that it comes as a shock to the Windows people. They don't know what a good operating system feels like. And this is considering what a mess Tahoe is!

@ValerioCapraro Not a big AI dude but seriously, GPT-4? This is extremely disingenuous and dishonest lol

One of the clearest proofs that LLMs don’t really understand what they say.
We asked GPT whether it is acceptable to torture a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: yes.
Then we asked whether it is acceptable to harass a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: absolutely not.
But torture is obviously worse than harassment.
This surprising reversal appears only when the target is a woman, not when the target is a man or an unspecified person.
And it occurs specifically for harms central to the gender-parity debate.
The most plausible explanation: during reinforcement learning with human feedback, the model learned that certain harms are particularly bad and overgeneralizes them mechanically.
But it hasn’t learned to reason about the underlying harms.
LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization.

i swear now that boxmaker alan dye is gone, plus the new chiplet designs for M5, there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for letting the Mac Pro go without a refresh featuring an M5 Extreme or the likes

New Mac family photo! (March 2026) I feel like this is one of the strongest and most complete Mac lineups in Apple’s history.

this is an apple Mac notebook for £499
lads icl have you ever spoken with the normie non tech crowd? they really do not care about any of these especially when they're coming from shitty 300£ HPs made of god awful non-rigid plastic, keys that fade over time, and performance that makes you balk
trust me an A18 Pro is ABSOLUMENT enough for their usage

Fucking finally, took them long enough to move away from the "Hello Apple Intelligence" vaporware nonsense.
We're so back.

@MKBHD It's crazy to me that Google continues shooting themselves in the foot like this. Not to even mention the mediocre Tensor chips and god awful battery these have.
How do you squander the Pixel UI so many love with such pathetic hardware?
