The new season of Doctor Who is really leaning into this Wes Anderson In Space aesthetic. Fun take on a Sci Fi aesthetic, decades of low budgets make the series relatively unencumbered by a dominant visual style.
@Sveinbjorn @Sveinbjorn I’m experimenting with the Openvibe ios client, which combines masto, bsky, threads and one more protocol, so you can browse all your accounts in one stream.
@Sveinbjorn But now I’ve started to notice that the autoplay selections after playlists end are really good, often on par with the exact vibe of the playlist. So you can really guide it.
Apple Music‘s algo is really starting to have its moments. Its not quite Spotify at its best… but neither is Spotify anymore. AM doesn’t have the slop that Spotify started clogging up in later years, so when AM misses its because its choices are too obvious, or slightly off mark.
Pointed pen, but with a sowing machine. Sort of.
Thomas Phinney, Font DetectiveThe more I try to use variable fonts in apps, the more frustrated I am by the utterly brain-dead design decisions.
Worst common problem is putting axes on a temporary-activation pop-up. Adobe, Affinity 😞
LOOK, we need to see them on an ONGOING basis, see the axis settings of arbitrary text, AND apply them easily. Having something like the Color Picker and Swatches panels, but for variable font axis settings, that would be a good approach. (And no, Char/Para Styles ALONE are not the answer.)
Looking at the lovely new Otto from Dinamo, and a common pet peeve strikes me:
It's a text face but you don't see it in text sizes.
I can fiddle with the page to see it in text size, but I'd rather not have to do that. I'd rather see the idealized text use as defined by the foundry.
And I'm not calling out Dinamo in particular, this is the standard. (mostly mention them by name to plug Otto). It's rare to see a text face in paragraphs on a page. And that's weird.
Why is that?
I see everything everyone posts on typo.social. Not only the people I follow.
I usually browse the typo.social server live feed, which shows you the total output of the server.
I rarely check my home feed with the people I follow, since it's a subset of the total here, and the total here is pretty great.
