#AtkinsonDithering looks really nice, and it's just a tweak on the classic #FloydSteinberg dithering.
RIP #BillAtkinson, the dude did so much for us, and most people don't know who he was. :/

I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.
For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.
I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.
It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.
RIP, Bill.

the europlus zoneeuroplus :autisminf: (@europlus@europlus.zone)Just a reminder that the original Myst was developed using HyperCard, one of Bill Atkinson’s many masterpieces.
But I’ll always remember how he thought overlapping windows (or perhaps the smooth movement of windows over each other) was a solveable problem because he recalled seeing that Xerox had solved it (they hadn’t), so he just worked it out because he then thought it could be.
An amazing mind, now lost to us.
RIP Bill, and thank you!

@rl_dane #AtkinsonDithering just always looks so good. I also love that I see an image like this, think "Atkinson dithering" in my head, then read the post to see if it's mentioned or not.

Gotta say, I really love how the #AtkinsonDithering renders the spoon in this photo. It actually gives the impression of a metallic texture using little more than basically just concentric ovals.
Found a perfect stand to hold my maté at an angle while doing the initial steep without having to worry about it falling over.
