  • Way beyond fist shaking here. My brain simply doesn’t process the trendy flat UX. It looks like when my kitchen garbage can tips over. A piece of carrot here, empty milk crate over there, sprinkled with onion peels, and some unidentified goop that I only discover later in the evening, using my bare feet, while getting a cup of water…

    What’s weird though is that I similarly hate the circle android icons. They all kinda blend together like a bowl of skittles. Make them squircle though… instantly recognizable!










  • The value of an art piece is always subjective. The price (closest thing we have to the objective value) is determined by the buyers.

    What other mechanism would there be? A committee? That’s a bit nazi for my taste. A popular vote? Look at the election results to see why that might be a bad idea.

    The theme is a bit touchy these days, especially in certain small country in eastern europe, where the new minister started to cut subsidies to the art she considers unworthy, obscene and politicized, in favor of art reflecting so called traditional values and national identity. The mere existence of the ministry of culture, established with the most noble goal of supporting art, creates this kind of potential vulnerability.






  • That’s strange. I’m using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It’s using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?
