@bryanjclark@mastodon.social That is so good.

@florian@typo.social 2023-02-17 21:08

@bryanjclark@mastodon.social This icon is very confusing when used in different languages where the genre is not a literal translation of “nonfiction”. Took me some time to figure out what Apple has against unicorns ;)

@bryanjclark@mastodon.social only tangentially related, but i like how apps made by the icon factory in the app store have the developer icon replaced with a factory icon

@bryanjclark@mastodon.social suggested alt text: A screenshot of a small part of the Apple Books interface. Under the word "Genre", there is a black and white icon of a unicorn in a circle crossed with a diagonal line, as if to say "Unicorns not allowed." The icon is paired with the genre designation "Nonfiction."

@bryanjclark@mastodon.social Meh, I had to look at the icon for a couple of seconds before I saw what it was. I'm not an Apple books user. How is nonfiction a genre? It's a class of genes at best. Does it have subgenres below nonfiction?
