Curious that whenever someone shows me “the cool #ai flow” they built that’s supposed to be impressive, the conversation goes the same way:
Stage 1: “But you don’t understand. You don’t like AI because you haven’t used it right. Let me show you how much you can do it with.”

Wednesday's episode of the @doubletap podcast featured an excellent interview with @glenrgordon58 following Glen's resignation from Vispero. This brought back so many good memories! I first met Glen at the very first European dealer workshop in the Black Forest in Germany in July 1996. We […]

This was about coding, but the words “vibe engineering setup” just sent shivers down my spine.
How long until we see a “vibe bridge” coming down?

A few years ago I would have followed the TPAC hashtag because I would have wanted to know what’s going on.

Martinsfeuer in Ochtendung: Das römische Kolosseum brennt ab
In Ochtendung haben Väter und ihre Kinder in mühevoller Arbeit das römische Kolosseum aus Holz-Paletten nachgebaut. Ein kurzes Vergnügen - am Abend wurde das ganze abgebrannt.

See how in one of the shots there are supports for the glass panes visible in the logo? Sure they have been painted out by dedicated CG artists who are essential for these type of projects.

Keep stuff simple. Yes, even your accessibility solutions. A simple approach is less likely to break, which will keep it accessible longer or forever. It might not be optimal for everyone in every situation, but rarely anything is.
Don’t overthink it.

Es ist seit 10 Jahren absolut dringend davon abzuraten, irgendetwas bei Monotype und seinen geschluckten Tochterfirmen zu lizenzieren. Kauft bei den Foundries oder bei Fontspring! https://mastodon.design/@rainerklute/115491566510253630

Attached: 1 image Wer ab dem 7.11. bei MyFonts Schriften neu lizenziert, darf sie nicht mehr legal in PDF einbetten. Ja, richtig gelesen. Es sei denn, man erwirbt eine teurere, erweiterte Lizenz. Merkwürdig, dass diese Lizenzänderung so wenig Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Eigentlich erwarte ich, dass analog zu dem »Tod von Adobe«, der letzte Woche von einigen Auguren prognostiziert wurde, nun das Ende vom MyFonts heraufbeschworen wird. Nun ja. Danke an die @typographische@typo.social, bei der ich einzig und allein davon las.

I really don’t like overtaking on the winding roads here, it’s usually not worth the risk. Today I had a slow moped in front of me and a very straight clear stretch of road.

Hey font people! I have a font with a stylistic set that I like to use, however that stylistic set includes a “slashed 0” which I don’t want to use because it can be misread as an Ø.
