It’s been time for like 10 years

I think you’re saying I’m winning :^)

Not sure how to respond to this tbh

Unfortunately I don’t use Twitter so I don’t have a handle

That’s literally what you’re doing rn lmao you aren’t a spectator you’re in the gladiator pit

AI will (and already can) “solve” global warming by summarizing the solutions that we already know are effective but refuse to implement

TIL the scope of a conversation can never include anything that wasn’t in the original post. I can’t imagine how boring your conversations must be irl.

“I hear you”

Corporate PR phrase detected. Product mentally blacklisted

Unfortunately there’s no URL to go with that feature, it must be JS-activated. Same goes for the Recently Uploaded and Watched tabs which are new in that same vein.

I’ve started just mentally replacing it with “rot”

disenshittify

This was never supposed to be a word. Why are we doing this

The language wasn’t that complex

Oh really? Neat

Nuclear power plants don’t make nuclear bombs…

Why wait for a click? Each ribbon tab has submenus with their contents already visible (no necessary click --> hover/click --> hover in submenu without letting your mouse leave for even 1 pixel) and the state of each option represented in whatever way is most convenient (button, toggle, dropdown, etc.). A menu doesn’t show all options in one category at once, doesn’t fully show their state, and closes itself every time you mess up a mouse movement if it’s programmed badly. The lack of names can be bad, but the learning curve for identifying options (hovering and seeing the name) isn’t worse than it is for finding options in a menu (searching every menu until you find the right option).

Clearly not, no

What’s dumber about visual grouping instead of menus? Functionality is more grouped and readily visible in a visual menu? Being clear, intuitive, or more readable is not “dumb” lmao. It may require more knowledge to use a textual menu, but that doesn’t make it smart-- in fact, it’s a pretty dumb design.

Instead of being organized under menus by name, it’s now organized under ribbon tabs by icon, visual grouping, and sometimes also name. It’s no less organized lol

Microsoft also did this to obfuscate features

lol

I like the ribbon personally

Thanks for the list, I’ll be trying these!
