Are we really going to use the same Desktop UX forever?

The presentation touches on some interesting limitations of the desktop metaphor, and also where (desktop) user interaction can go. What I find especially interesting is the idea of (automatically) creating workspaces from associating clipboard copies and other files with a document, with the idea of saving and restoring a workspace. This also implies that AI agents can work on these sets of files as a limited context.

The prototype demos are in the last 10 minutes.

Linus Akesson has published another C64 demo, and also an explanation of how he actually can display Lemmings walking on the screen border.

Also, I just found that he also did some chiptune live music:

An HTML game that implements the addictive features of Gacha games very well!

It seems that the Steam Frame VR headset is still alive and they actually distribute early hardware of it:

This makes me happy!

Update: Seems that the video got deleted. Maybe this is a good sign.

Revision 2026 - Compo - PC 64K Intro

2nd place, Squidopus Famelica, a very nice story-driven 64K intro:

And third place - what is it with the Amiga balls ?

Descent by Hork

8K intro competition

If 64K is too large, the 8K intros pack more music than a 4K intro.

LIA - Aenigma

Live Shader Showdown

I like (watching) live shader programming as a form of interactive programming. These showdowns aren't that great for displaying the craft IMO because there is no interaction with the music. But obviously the results still are quite impressive. The live shader programming mildly is what 4K PC intros are nowadays anyway, except that the 4K PC intros are not created in front of a live audience.
