It’s like the design was a collab and one designer was in camera perspective — the other in orthographic… and both hit render at the same time to create a mashup 🫠

Not sure how the holes along the bottom were decided though.🤷‍♂️

I rendered this out — needs more finessing/detail — but at least it looks like it is following some common vanishing points again.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

Hello Darkness, my old friend...
There's only two words to describe this new MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon. I know I'm late to the party, but I'm impressed.

The iPhone 13 mini is dead, leaving small phone lovers in a lurch

One-handed phones are a dying breed. It makes sense, but it's also a bummer.

@hbuchel One thing that confused me with the vanilla iOS app was not being able to see feeds for other specific communities. I know the vanilla app is meant to be simple, but the lack of visibility made me think at first that maybe I needed to be on hachyderm to be able to browse hachyderm posts etc. I agree that if it’s even slightly confusing to nerds, normies are going to be lost.
