Haha handwriting autocorrect is wild! I kinda dig it though

Just putting ChatGPT in a popover is like the most boring use of LLMs I can think of

“Apple Intelligence” might be more grating than just saying “AI” honestly

“How do we visualize AI?”

“Ah fuck. Triangles? Lots of triangles in like a cloud”

Presenter mode is cool and that indicator for options is dope too

Okay the smart reply thing is pretty dope actually. And using LLMs for summaries of emails in the list view is a great use case. These seem a lot more well considered

This specific flow of flight tracking, asking another question in the same conversation, etc would be amazing in the car

That’s nice that Siri can now ignore my flubs. I struggle with that a lot. And we’re long overdue for keeping context in conversations. I feel like Google assistant has done that for years now

I have mixed feelings about how Apple Intelligence has been implemented as shown here. There’s definitely some stuff that feels kind of hamfisted just first impression, but also some things that seem well considered and just make sense. I am excited for better Siri for sure

Oookkkaaaay i think I kind of like genmoji 🙈

There's still room for improvement, but pretty happy with how much more uniform app icons are looking while still keeping their own personality

These kinds of little details and putting love into every corner of the experience are what makes working on @elementary OS so rewarding for me. Also, welcome back to Marius!

Spent some time today working on some options for a new Files icon https://github.com/elementary/icons/pull/1147

Okay finished scaling that and started on a calculator icon. Not exactly the most inspired thing ever, but fits the format and style: https://github.com/elementary/icons/pull/1148

Really grateful for the feedback on this! I’m going to move forward with scaling the bottom left one (background tab with magnifying glass)

I was looking at seeing if we could ship Font Viewer as Flatpak in 7, but it looks like it hardcodes Adwaita so it would need a distro patch and I don’t want to get into that today 😅

If you’re looking for a non-coding way to get involved, I just created a project for improving the metadata we show for our apps in AppCenter. Check it out: https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/112

What do we think about mint here instead of orange?

Fairly lukewarm take: I hate phrases like “identify as”, “preferred pronouns”, and shit like “living your truth”. It comes off as super condescending and patronizing. You would never be like, “Jane got married last week. She identifies as Mrs. Surname now, she’s so brave for living her truth”

If you’re someone who is questioning your gender or you’re an ally who wants to better understand the experiences of trans people, I highly recommend reading https://genderdysphoria.fyi/

It gives a rundown of what gender even is, what dysphoria is, what it’s like to try to determine if you are trans, and the science behind hormones and medical transition

Anyone caught being cisgender or heterosexual this month will go straight to jail! If it can happen to Trump, it can happen to anyone!
