New #blog post: Desperately Seeking Preview.app

https://rldane.space/desperately-seeking-previewapp.html

361 words

Kind of a follow-up to yesterday's blost, but also informative for those who work with PDFs in Linux.

Thanks to https://infinitemac.org for enabling me to get the screenshot of Preview.app on NeXTStep 1.0. So awesome!!!!

cc: my wonderful #chorus: @joel @dm @sotolf @thedoctor @pixx @orbitalmartian @adamsdesk @krafter @roguefoam @clayton @giantspacesquid @Twizzay @stfn

(I will happily add/remove you from the chorus upon request! :)

P.S., I really hope someone gets the 1980s movie reference. Even though I've never seen said movie. 😄

@purplerabbit Sorry if @3gp (and you too) seems to misunderstand the point.

Also I'm not stalking peoples' entire life story.

Case in point I hinted at mere observations.

If that seemed aggressive then sorry but written words rarely convene sarcasm.

I'm done.

@Crell @alina It's not an ignorant rant.

  • I've made peace with it, just as I've made peace never touching #Windows ever again.

You may call me an "opinionated asshole" from your point of view, but I sincerely wish I was wrong.

The real cost doesn't come through to #consoomers except as #ReducedLifecycle due to #bloat.

But then again what do I expect from a coward doing the reply & block - combo, because confronting the fact that people got burned out by shit like PHP would mean admitting mistakes, and we can't have that as a fanboy.

@0x00string m8, please go touch #TouchGrass and actually look at what the bottom 75% of society are concerned with…

  • Spoiler Alert: People who live paycheck to paycheck and can't stomach a surprise $400 expense with savings (i.e. 90% of all US households) are less likely to be politically active and may not have the capacity to focus on it.

Dismissal of these factors doesn't make them go away!

  • People who are exhausted after a 48-60+ hours, 5-6 day work week (not counting in unpaid labour ranging from commute to carework) may be barely able to keep their shit together...
