#AtkinsonDithering looks really nice, and it's just a tweak on the classic #FloydSteinberg dithering.
RIP #BillAtkinson, the dude did so much for us, and most people don't know who he was. :/

Kopf hinter #Quickdraw:
#Entwickler Bill #Atkinson mit 74 Jahren verstorben
Durch seine #Arbeit an #Quickdraw und #Macpaint gilt er als wichtiger #Apple- #Entwickler. Nun ist #BillAtkinson an Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs verstorben.
#SteveJobs holte Atkinson als Mitarbeiter Nr. 51 zu #Apple und zum ersten Entwicklungsteam der Firma. Dem #Programmierer ist die #Quickdraw- #Bilschirmtechnologie mit ihren auffälligen abgerundeten Ecken zu verdanken.

In honor of Bill Atkinson, I’ve been reading the QuickDraw source code released by CHM and writing a little C implementation of his Region structure, which was an incredibly elegant solution to a problem so many people working on window systems never even realized they had. RIP Bill. #retrocomputing #BillAtkinson #QuickDraw

Reactions from the assistance during Bill Atkinson's presentation of MacPaint are a strong reminder of the technical prowesses he did in his code to sublimate the hardware capabilities available at the time.

I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.
For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.
I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.
It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.
RIP, Bill. :alogo6:

RIP #BillAtkinson (1951–2025). During his time at #Apple, he was central to the development of the graphical user interface of the Lisa and later the Macintosh, and is best known for creating MacPaint, QuickDraw, and HyperCard.
Atkinson is also credited for designing Venice, a chancery script bitmap font. Along with #SusanKare’s designs, it was one the “City” fonts that came with the original #Macintosh. https://fontsinuse.com/type_designers/6337/bill-atkinson

In a stunning twist that nobody saw coming, the entire internet decided to mourn Bill Atkinson's "departure" via a Facebook announcement that can't even be displayed on most browsers. ⚰️ Because nothing screams "tech titan" like finding out via a glitchy, unsupported platform. 💻🚫

Today is #FloofDaughter #Mira's birthday (I decided on the day—nobody knows for sure) and the five month anniversary of her adoption (I think MY adoption by HER is just a few weeks ago, honestly 😁). It's also Hobbes' birthday (RIF: Rest in Floofiness).
In honor of this day, and in homage to the computer I loved most growing up, here's a picture of Mira that conforms to the display limitations of a #ClassicMac. It's also a hat-tip to #BillAtkinson, as it was made using his dithering algorithm (a variation on #FloydSteinburg).
It's funny to me that smooth scaling algorithms like bilinear, bicubic, lanczos, and others used to be so computationally expensive that you'd only see them in graphics utilities. NOW, you can't get rid of them.
Because of that, I've included a non-smoothed, non-interpolated 4x zoom of the same image. XD -
