Imagine an OS that depicted this for everything. Physical ports, and network connections, and inter-process comms, every single thing

An upscaled version of the EvangeList icon from ~1999, which is a hand holding a lightning bolt in front of a flag of the six colors of the 1990s-era Apple logo.

@guykawasaki.bsky.social Since Apple turns 50 this year, I went looking for a graphic that symbolizes what I always liked about Apple and the Mac, without implying I condone anything I dislike about them.

I found the EvangeList logo from before 2000. Yep, that'll work! 🤩

I think the martial arts they download can train their brains but not their bodies. But that's a huge advantage.

I also think that Morpheus, Trinity and Neo aren't built different. The reason humans can be batteries is, we all have enormous potential we never realize, but the Matrix can exploit. 💪

been playing with this way too long! PS: added a global saturation slider.

I've been tempted to use this in you-know-what as an easter egg, but it didn't pass the cost-benefit analysis 😅

VERA, my C++/GL framework, is getting mature enought that I can easily por all my old artworks as webAssembly websites. Check Memory Studies from back 2021 patriciogonzalezvivo.github.io/MemoryStudy/

For the first twenty minutes I actually thought it was a landscape.

The icon editor in ResEdit, showing the icon of a control panel which sports four colorful hot air balloons against a blue sky

A Mac control panel named "Performa", with two sections: - "Check the features that you Want to use", with check boxes for "Finder Hiding", "Launcher open at Startup", "System Folder Protection", and "Applications Folder Protection" - "Choose a document saving option", with radio buttons for "Default to folder with application", "Default to Documents Folder", and "Default to last folder used"

I've never seen this "Performa" control panel it can install, but what a neat idea for an icon. 🎈

Works perfectly with no local override! 🌈

Ah— locally adding "crossorigin" back to the link tag and changing its href to the newer CSS asset *also* addresses the issue 👍

Cmd + Shift + R doesn't seem to fix it, but so far the aforementioned local override consistently does

The OKpalette site working in Chrome; next to it, the page source has been modified so the "crossorigin" attribute is removed from a link tag

Locally overriding the page in Chrome dev tools and removing this "crossorigin" property from the CSS link tag in the page head resolves the issue on my computer; I'm beyond the boundary of my know-what-I'm-talking-about, but I get to visit your project now 😁

Cool, I get to learn something new today 😃

When I copy the request as a cURL call from the Chrome web inspector, the cURL call responds with the page HTML; removing the "origin" argument from the request responds with the CSS. On my phone with WiFi off, the FireFox loads the CSS but Chrome fails 🪲🔍

A browser page with https://okpalette.color.pizza loaded with the CSS not working. The web inspector's console says, "Refused to apply style from 'https://okpalette.color.pizza/assets/main-BDjPr846.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled."

Also at the moment the CSS fails to load supposedly due to a MIME type error but I'm guessing that you're redeploying this project frequently and in real time so don't sweat it 😀 You're making something beautiful, keep it up

Brilliant work! Literally inspiring 🤩 I'm about to use 3D CSS transforms in my own color-space-adjacent project, rezmason.net/retrospectru... taking baby steps rezmason.net/the-future-h... , and learning some cool things that aren't quite caniuse-able yet codepen.io/rezmason/pen...

Edit: I linked to a seemingly related GitHub project a few minutes ago, but it was a dead end 🗑️

Could it be an inside joke, referencing The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults? 😉

Hi @celia-14.bsky.social @rosekeller.bsky.social , I felt you should know I always enjoy playing your celia14.itch.io/interstellar... . You paired a fun chill mechanic with an earnest feelgood, and making it out of webstuffs that'll never rot earns you bonus points that never expire 🌟

Maybe he can manually eject it with a paperclip the size of a shoe 😉

@reneritchie.bsky.social Happy New Year! Is there a way I can listen to your "Debug" podcast? Specifically the episodes where you interview Nitin Ganatra. 🤓

I'm tantalizingly close to understanding how the error diffusion works; once I have a decent JavaScript equivalent, the actual work of building a digital exhibit to this stuff will kick off.

I'll keep you posted!

I've misplaced the issue, but I recently found an Editor's Note in an ancient Mac magazine (from the B&W era) that detailed how to make a color image with monochrome bitmaps, by associating a different bitmap with each CMY color ribbon in an ImageWriter II. The example image was unique but familiar.
