Primitive Pictures VS macmediakeyforwarder

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vect...

Looks great! I've been thinking of having my own attempt at something like this ever since I saw a similar idea at primitive.lol

Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

If you're looking for a more artistic arrangement of coloured blocks, and you've got some skills (or a Mac), there is this one application that's fun to play with. But I'm sure there are other ways.

Some examples off the top of my head (not game-dev specific) are https://www.michaelfogleman.com/ (creator of https://primitive.lol/), Marco Arment (https://marco.org/ - Overcast), or Pieter Levels (sadly as I write this I found that his blog seems to have been taken down and just redirects to his twitter https://twitter.com/levelsio?ref=levels.io - but still has a laundry list of projects old and new in his twitter bio)

Any ideas on how I could simply cross-compile a non-module GitHub repository to three different architectures with predictable filenames? I wouldn't mind setting up a go.mod file, the problem is I would like to compile the executable in the github.com/fogleman/primitive repository, not my own code.

Consider an SVG from [Primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive) and a mostly-transparent overlay containing the diff against the original image. Tuning Primitive is not entirely deterministic (like your algorithm) and I think a human interface for the front-end would allow a few knobs to erase parts of the diff in order to shrink the detail imperceptively. Seems like a good opportunity for a contest :)

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

Found this article which suggests Mac Media Key Forwarder or BeardedSpice.

Try this. It works great to tie that key to Apple music. Says it works for Spotify too.

I don't know the exact issues but might be related to the issues why I left Apple : I was developing a very successful little tool for MacOS ( https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder ) which listened for keypresses. From 2016 to 2019 it became harder and harder to install it because apple added more and more restrictions to apps like this. By 2019, you had to enable the application explicitly to listen for events at least in three places deep down in the system preferences, click accept in various popups and if you stuck somewhere then nobody could tell why it wasn't working. So I had a very expensive laptop and the OS didn't let me use it freely. So I just switched to freebsd and linux, I don't have fancy productivity apps like photoshop and final cut but with open source tools and with my own desktop applications I created the best looking/most usable desktop experience MacOS will never have.

Hello! Try Mac Media Key Forwarder I use it for the exact same reason.

I like this app for fixing it. https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder

Here you go, I'm on an M1 MacBook Air 2020 and this works perfectly for me. It's called "Mac Media Key Forwarder"

Media Key Forwarder: lets you pause iTunes/Apple Music/Spotify when you hit the pause button. Apple, for unknown insane reasons, changed the pause button to pause front-loaded media instead of background music when I actually want to pause background music because I now want to watch something.

I dislike the way how the media keys work on macOS by default. I used to use this app (https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder) with previous versions of macOS, but it's no longer supported and its recommended replacement 'Bearded Spice' doesn't work on my computer. Is there another way to make those media keys work just for the music app?
