@macshome @Eggfreckles Same rule is found in the 1992 HIG, as well, and devoid of any pinstripes. Just plain System 7 clarity and delight. 😉

For the lady in the photo, this is a very passive way to immanentize the eschaton.

She could be taking a more active part. Like going there. Doesn’t really matter for which army.

Because I don’t think there are participation trophies at the apocalypse.

@ichbindabomb In these crazy times, I miss Hitchens' voice every single day.
I noticed an edge-case UX bug in @MonaApp: If the More menu (the ellipsis icon) is close to the alt text button in an image, hovering over the latter highlights the former. And clicking actually opens the More menu. As a result, it's impossible to read the alt text. (Resizing the window is a valid workaround.) Not sure if this appears in Mona 7 as well, but I thought it was worth making you aware of.
Käffchen?

I want to add a plug here for @kagihq, but every attempt at writing something ended in a pitch that might as well run as one of those “it's too good to be true, but it _is_ true — call now, operators are standing by!" 😁

But seriously, though: If that description reflects how a search engine _should_ behave, you really should take Kagi for a spin. I ain't going back to any other alternative, and the few bucks per month are well worth it for what you get in return. https://theblower.au/@frogglin/116270900318436072

@ghalldev This is brilliant! 👍

And works just like the doctor ordered. 😎

I like the menu bar icons because they help me more easily parse menus but I recognize they don’t work for everyone and I’m glad there is a workaround

That being said, it should be a more easily accessible option.

Hide macOS Tahoe's Menu Icons With This One Simple Trick - 512 Pixels

I really dislike Apple’s choice to clutter macOS Tahoe’s menus with icons. It makes menus hard to scan, and a bunch of the icons Apple has chosen make no sense and are inconsistent between system applications. Steve Troughton-Smith is my hero for finding a Terminal command to disable them: Here’s one for the icons-in-menus haters […]

@jochenwolters When I see stuff like that, I also wonder: was there a designer? Because there isn't always.

And did they get listened to? I used to work at a company where designs were treated, at best, as "inspirations" for the developers. QA would test against what the developer said their vision was.

@eyrea That is my biggest challenge these days, and I appreciate you pointing this out.

It's almost too easy to put the blame on designers, when it takes a team of many to build a shipping product.

Hence, I'm practicing 🤞 to refer to "design practice" instead of “UX designers” in the sense that many people contribute to the final product design.

Hence, the sentiment I typically feel these days is “how many people thought this was a good-enough design to ship?” 😕
