That is my hope as well. I’ll say that the new icon is not to my taste, though I respect that someone worked on it and some people like it. It was, after all, selected by vote (though, I don’t think “keep the original” was an option). I personally find the original to be more exciting and modern. An option for the user to select their choice would be a good way of making everyone happy. If the dev can track those selections, it would also be a good way of knowing what people actually care for.
You’ll sometimes hear IT people use “Layer 8 problem” which is a reference to the OSI networking model. The model has 7 layers. It starts at layer-1, the physical layer (the literal wires that the signals flow through), and ends with layer-7, the application later (things like http, ftp, etc.).
“Layer-8” isn’t technically part of the OSI model, but unofficially it refers to the human layer, or the user. When IT people are troubleshooting an issue, trying to identify where in the model the issue is happening, “layer-8” is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “there isn’t an actual problem… the person is the problem”.
Another good one is the “ID10T” error (read as “I-D-ten-T”), which looks a lot like “IDIOT” when written down. It means the same thing.
I have the “dark” theme perpetually on in the app, so I never noticed this. I’m unsure if the dev can affect the color of the text up there and invert it in the “light” theme. I’ll be watching this thread because I’m now curious.
This worked great! I found the old icon in one of the earlier releases in the GitHub history and was able to fix my “problem” using the shortcut at this link. Much appreciated.
I don’t mind. I’m locked into this one because it functions well, handling all of the idiosyncrasies that can be involved in tennis scoring (3 vs 5 game sets, tie breaks, etc.).
It started as “I could use this for table tennis scoring at our cabin, it can’t be the at hard…” (we use tennis scoring instead of ping pong scoring because we’re all tennis players), but now I just feel like it’s a challenge I want to figure out.
I’ve been using the beta version for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty solid. There are some features I miss from Apollo when I was on Reddit, but I’m hopeful they are coming.
The first “season” of the podcast Slow Burn is about this. It’s excellent. I’ve listened to it twice.
