Nice find. Agreed. The concrete bunker isolation in this clip is an entirely different vibe that's interesting on its own, doesn't need the horror color grade.
I wish the bbc would rebroadcast or release it in higher quality than the YouTube uploads from over a decade ago. It’s so great, I’d love to _see_ it in high def.
Curious what you are referring to. I often try to find the optimal calendar app, and while I know Fantastical isn't it for me, I am curious if there is an overarching story/reason why that I'm not aware of.
It was the typical subscription monetization move. Except the lack of hubris and overall tone from the developer after removing features that were paid for in previous versions put the icing on the cake.
Fantastical and Drafts were the two apps I used daily. The developer needing to get more money from me completely ruined my ability to use the app in the same ways I could previous, without having to constantly decline/ignore the 'upgrade' options that I'd actually already had previous.
It's then I knew, that supporting small indie developers is just as risky if not more so, than a large company. I've since never put my eggs into any app basket without seeing the woods through the trees and avoiding the inevitable.
It's lame from a social standpoint that subscriptions are fracturing the indie software user community. But, it wasn't paying the bills to have people half-using all the apps. You named two apps that have released features and improvements at a furious pace since they went subscription. That's great for users who are all-in and wouldn't have been possible if accommodating you.
Classic business-of-software holy war stuff. Some people were angry that Fantastical moved to subscription. They also moved Cardhop into the subscription for non-grandfathered users.
For actual users of Fantastical 3 and Cardhop 2, it's been nice to get new features without having to wait for a Fantastical 4.
I think he’s talking about Apple owned applications. You can change the icon for any user installed program ( chrome, vsCode, iTerm) but cannot for things like Safari, Finder and Mail. Unless you disable SIP
Yeah, I can't change the icon for Finder to be the NeXT logo without disabling SIP. Kinda lame. Should be able to make an alias to it and change the icon on that at least.
Without flogging corporations, the public won't be able to act on their bad behaviors.
Imagine if there were no articles written about Amazon, or Airbnb, and instead there were only article written about exploitation of workers or skirting the hotel laws as bad things that are happening (either in theory or out there in the wild). In that case, the public won't actualize it or internalize it enough to take action with who they vote for, and in turn elected officials won't bother taking action because their constituents don't know/don't care and so it's not important for them either.
Not sure I buy that. The articles could be framed as "We need to pass legislation to prevent behavior like X, which for example Amazon participates in"
But that just doesn't generate the clicks like "Amazon is evil" does.
Fair enough. I would extend not generating clicks as an example of my point but I do think I tried to too narrowly explain why things are the way they are without reflecting on other alternatives too much.
You can flog governments by highlighting how companies like Amazon exploit people and the rules. You could write the exact same article and then instead of demanding AirBnB change, demand the government to change.
