  2. 1987 hat Michael Okuda für Star Trek eine Bedienoberfläche entworfen, die über vier Serien und zwei Jahrzehnte konsistent blieb: LCARS.

    Apple, Microsoft und Linux haben in derselben Zeit drei bis vier komplette Designsystem-Brüche hingelegt.

    Über UI-Disziplin, fiktive Designsprachen und das, was wir aus der LCARS Designsprache heute noch lernen können.

  3. Powering down transport. Transporters off line, so I'll have to hoof it into the pub manually. Sigh.

  5. Now that I finally installed @homeassistant I also (finally) reflashed my old WiFi RGB lights to @esphome
    This took some trial and error, but they're now all flashed to #ESPHome 🙂
    And here's a screenshot of my next project with #HomeAssistant, #LCARS baby 🙂

  6. If you're not tired of the holiday jingles yet, here is more. ❄️From my #TitanDS 2023 December update. Info on how to play the jingles directly in Titan.DS's DNA module, see➡️ mewho.com/logs/#t2023.12.19a
    👉There's also a 1-hour loop version on YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=7h5n7IjR08M

  9. Just venting:

    I am a long-time #StarTrek fan... but I fucking hate the #LCARS design language. Massive swoops of useless blocks of color eating up and cluttering screen space, containing equally useless numbers to look "sci-fi"; an ugly-ass font-choice; and annoying beeps and boops to sound "sci-fi" too. Discovery and Strange New Worlds do it so much better. Even DS9's Cardassian design was more appealing.

    Let LCARS die, Trek fandom, I beg you.

  10. In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

    I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

  12. Interview with Inkscape developer Martin Owens

    Martin Owens has been an active contributor to the FLOSS community for decades and is a prominent developer of the Inkscape codebase. He also has his own channel on our Peertube platform. To celebrate the first anniversary of our platform, we decided to use this opportunity to ask Martin a few questions about his views on Peertube, Inkscape, and the future of free software. You have said that your entry into using Linux was because of political reasons. What came first for you, the interest […]

  19. What I am currently making ➡️ a new site based on #StarTrekProdigy Protostar's computer. 😬I hope the use of gradient won't impact browser performance too much... Reminder🔔 Season 2 is coming to Netflix on July 1st!

  21. Been thinking about recreating this "DNA Codon Scanning" animation from #StarTrekPicard in a web browser since Season 3's premiere.
    Initially I thought I had to use JavaScript to constantly modify the svg DOMs, which could result in a poor overall animation performance. I think I've figured a way of doing it mainly with CSS & Math! Here is a teaser/demo video. Will integrate it into my next TitanEPS update :-)

  22. #ProtostarNX webDevLog • Most of the animation code is complete. Adding some random effects to small buttons at the moment, plus bug fixes. Thanks to MikeJF on Twitter for helping me out identifying #Protostar's layout🙂 *Designs based on demo videos by Territory Studio

  24. Star Trek: The Next Generation started 36 years ago today with Encounter at Farpoint🖖

    It's crazy to think that we've been following the adventures of Picard and his crew for 36 years, through shows and movies.
