A screenshot of the old macOS System Settings shows the search term "Deg" entered. This indicates that "Degauss" can be found under Display Settings, highlighted with an icon.

Do you know the history of the” Sosumi “sound on macOS? Apple’s Jim Reekes created it amid a trademark row with Apple Corps. After Macs enabled audio, leading to a renaming of musically termed sounds, Reekes, out of frustration, created “Sosumi” (“so sue me”).

I am getting somewhere. Over the weekend, I played with Framer; it was all joy and fun, but upon reconsidering its pricing scheme, I decided to switch to Astro and redo my experiments. It’ll be more cost-effective, and I’ll learn more. It’s good to keep up with coding skills.

Meet Play.
A better way to design & prototype mobile apps.

We've been working really hard in the past few years and I've never been more proud of my work. I've grown so much since I joined!

New GPT: Image analyzer for generating concise, SEO-friendly ALT text. Drop an image and get an ALT text that follows the best practices, ready to be pasted into your editor. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-045n12ghj-image-alt-describer

Unlike Midjourney, the standout feature is the conversation. With ChatGPT running in the background, it remembers the entire conversation and understands the context (2/3).

A small Christmas Midjourney 6 brainstorm with a friend.

I wrote my first GPT, Vintage Matchbox Generator, and it's glorious. See the image alt for the prompt used.

To be honest, I'm saddened by the fact that Degauss has disappeared from the recent macOS System Settings.

The OpenAI GPT Store was just launched, and I have three GPTs there:

• Image Alt Describer — SEO-ready ALT texts;
• Vintage Matchbox Generator — retro art nostalgia;
• Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams.

Discover them here: https://vancura.design/articles/my-three-gpts

The link to my Vintage Matchbox Generator is now working – if you have paid access to ChatGPT, you can try it out today: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-lIuHLh730-vintage-matchbox-generator

While testing the new style tuner, I unintentionally created the ugliest Midjourney image ever. I think I've only seen a few images that were so bad in my life :)

You don't have to be a prompt expert to be able to generate meaningful results with DALL•E (3/3).

I'm seriously impressed with how DALL•E 3 can be used to create initial game assets that I can work on in Aseprite – it’s a huge time saver (1/3).

sooooo uhm. My portfolio is finally out after 7 years. I hate it, it's not as perfect as i want it and i will probably spend next year fixing and polishing it but here we go... soft launch on posts for now

https://www.adamkozel.com/

Hello world! I believe it's time to raise the DPI of my portfolio from 12.5 to 218. I have been engaged in pixel art game development for three years, and now my projects and archives require presentation in a higher resolution.

Hi all, today we're excited to share the submissions of the community icon project! As promised you can use this page to vote on your top 4 icons to be included in the Posts iOS app. Voting will be open until Friday, November 3rd, at 5pm PST.

Made an unofficial product video for ElevenLabs

Another one, since we don't have multiple image upload yet :)

Here’s my night-time submission for the Posts icon :)

I am excited to share that I just launched my new portfolio featuring a range of design projects I worked on at Microsoft and Xamarin – https://vancura.design. There is still a lot I want to show you, but let me invite you to the portfolio’s humble beginnings.

Hey @andy, I am inviting friends, and one of them asks me if read.cv has data export. Any plans on this?

I need to decide what to do once the game we've been working on is released. One thing is certain: I will have to carefully consider before choosing to develop another one. Maybe I should go back to illustration 🤔

Alright, the tide is turning. I am getting back into product design and iconography—let’s start slowly with some mood balls. They depict various user moods: inactive states are at the top, and active states are at the bottom.

Yay! Laserboy, the game created by @alexoid + Ant + me, has just been featured on the read.cv Front Page!

It's Saturday, the perfect time to play for free and without ads: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1745740/Laserboy

Just pushed a Sunday update of my Spectral plugin. Now you can drop measurements into the file as a component

Okay, the game I've been working on for 14 months has been canceled, and now I am unemployed. It's time for me to take a break, recharge, and focus on creating a useful portfolio. I have no idea what's next, so let's see :)

I was like: 
"ok, just one more and I'll go back to working". 

A little game for the fellow OCDs here:

If you're not a Steam fan, you can also play it on Itch: https://unient.itch.io/laserboy – the game supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.

@andy Thanks for the shout-out! It made me really happy :)
