The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

On This Day In History Apr 4, 2023

Today in 1968, 55 years ago: Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated by James Earl Ray at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

A few months ago, we warned that malevolent people were buying Google ads leading people to fake #GIMP websites to trick them into downloading malware.
Apparently this is still continuing to this day (as were reported to us). Google is still not blocking these fake ads despite the many reports and articles which happened for months now. 😓

Be careful and always make sure where you download your software from. Also the GIMP project doesn't buy ads!

Attached: 2 images More malware from malicious Google ads. gemmp[.]shop and gliimp[.]click redirect to gilmp[.]org where gimp-2.10.32-setupx32x64.zip is downloaded from cdn.discordapp.com. After removing the excessive padding from the download, uploaded the exe to VirusTotal - going to dig into it a bit more later. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6262cff03c465550e501f1f15c942d641a1a79edc4d52286abd8158a53aef220/detection #malvertising #malware #intel #gimp

I direct this to my many TWiT/TWiG friends: Now's the time of year to buy yourself -- or buy a friend -- membership in Club Twit. @leo and the team work hard to bring us news and joy every week. Advertising ain't what it used to be. Just as Mastodon frees us from the dominance of the ad-supported, attention-based market of old social media, so do we have the chance to support more of @TWiT ourselves. https://twit.tv/clubtwit
Here's @ant_pruitt: https://twitter.com/ant_pruitt/status/1605264854289358871

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

Went to the #LAAutoShow this past week and noticed that not a single car that was shown had its infotainment system on nor did they mention anything about them except that they support CarPlay.

But, the screens are getting bigger and the buttons are going away.

Honestly, can I just get a dock in the dash for my phone?

Developers… remember to take a break and go out in the world this Thanksgiving holiday. Stop thinking about your hard bugs/problems. If you can’t, this pelican can help if you explain your issue to him.
