Has me thinking about laser-focused task alternatives.

WorldDeck : 3D art / game development

GengoDeck : Japanese Immersion / Studying

TuneDeck : Making music.

SteamDeck : A deck for... oh I think this idea is taken.

Hmm. No i think I'll get back to working... for now.

Somehow that site wants to use 80% of my GPU to render some text.

On the slim chance that anyone at Apple reads this... I can't justify buying one of these as I already own multiple more powerful macbooks in similar sizes.

...but if you made a smaller one, the same physical size as an 11inch ipad, then yeh I would instantly buy one as my sling-book for light coding work in cafes!

It would also quiet down many of those calling for macOS on the iPad.

Would love to see an 11inch version of this.

Many thanks to Obsidian for reinforcing the strength of file-over-apps in daily computer use. Consider this as a baseline for your entire setup, and you will spend much less energy fussing over finding the optimal programs, operating systems, or ecosystems. Just manage your files, and everything else can come and go.

The manner in which that decision is executed is very much a reflection of moral character.

An 11" version of this proposed A-series chip Macbook is exactly what I would want to see, and would more likely expect to see from Apple's sales perspective, than an iPad that is capable of running MacOS.

A tiny Macbook that I can slip into a sling bag is more preferable to me than an iPad for many tasks.

A definite improvement but the CEO needs to go. It's the only way to begin restoring long term trust. Developers & publishers are extremely wary of unstable business partners.

He recently put out one for Godot 4 specifically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-JVjtJlIQ

Blender and Houdini are also long-timers.

New comment by risingsubmarine in "Instagram Is Over"

risingsubmarine — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 19:20:43 +0000

On more than a few occasions now I have loaded up my infrequently checked instagram accounts and been presented with something awful. They were always attention seeking reels from random accounts I don't follow; showing people being hurt or accident footage. I swipe up on the app and kill it pretty much straight away, then I consider deleting my instagram accounts once again.

Her grammar lessons were so insightful it was actually exhilarating to watch them for first time. So good I downloaded the entire channel.

Love these live LSDJ sets. 2x DMG gameboy through an amp = incredible bass.

risingsubmarine — Sun, 02 Jan 2022 15:53:04 +0000

Academics do make novel games! The 'walking simulator' genre and the 'idle clicker' genre were both spawned in academia. However they weren't made by those in the computer sciences, but the humanities. Coding is no longer a barrier to making games and the more fertile ground is currently in the humanities.

Yeah. I can see myself switching from LR to this if I could import my catalogue. I wouldn't expect the develop settings to be exact but it would still be a big help.

Ironically Apply had the same problem themselves with respect to their choice of CPU. They protected the future of their company by secretly maintaining two versions of MacOSX, one that ran on PPC and another that ran on Intel. That was a smart move. Consider maintaining (or planning) your company's shift to another platform, or going platform agnostic.
