That's better than plain text that just happens to be a hidden control, but text with a background color might just be... text with a background color, for emphasis. Or it's text with a background color, to distinguish it from edi

The continued focus on thinness betrays a lack of useful ideas... a hallmark of the Jony Ive school of enshittification.

Then it would make no sense to simulate them.

Paper sheets do not have controls on them. That's why "Material Design" sucks too, as all does the rest of the "flat" design fad. Minimal visual cues, analogous (not photo-faithful) to real-world physical objects ma

"Flat" design is equally offensive by not demarcating controls as controls, or their state in an intuitive way. Just as we were finally seeing UI step away from that BS, Apple jumps all the way back into much-scorned, cheesily-exc

Nailed it. Apple's vaunted UI has always been crippled by some stupid decisions and practices. But exhuming the idiotic "transparent" UI fad that died 20 years ago must rank among the worst. What Apple just rolled out is emba

I agree that XP was the top of Windows's UI evolution (in "Classic" mode, not the default Fischer-Price motif).

by DidYaWipe 1y ago
Yep. This is another semi-fawning, apologistic article full of made-up assertions. It ignores the fact that there has been a welcome step back from the derelict wasteland of "flat design" that users have endured for far too long.

I'm calling it a fraud in terms of Android's initial promise to be the great "open source" OS that would free us all from vendor and telco tyranny. As we all know, it has done nothing of the sort.

It is labeled in the Kroger one, but it obviously doesn't belong in there. It sucks, too, because the Kroger one's texture is really good and is great in salad.

Thanks for the reply!

These sugar alcohols are a scourge. I quit buying my favorite fake crab (Kroger) because it's full of this garbage.

Can you even use the Play store on AOSP? I was interested in trying it (I don't use Android currently) but from what I gathered it seemed like a bit of a fraud (on Google's part) because it was fundamentally gimped.

Well, based on that info, I guess usability for pick-&-place of surface-mount components on PCBs is out of the question.

What chatbots? The article talks about Google's (shitty) "AI"-generated answer summaries, but that's not a chatbot, and as far as I can see the article doesn't say where all these "chatbots" are hosted. Ho

I don't know who you mean by "lefties," but I don't hear anybody staking their ideology on "the Constitution is outdated." Except, notably, the orange RINO-in-chief. And it's "though," FYI.

What "aspect" of what?

That's just one of many problems with this whole lie. The best is Trump crowing about historically low unemployment numbers, and then peddling hysteria about illegals "taking American jobs." None of his degenerate followers c

by DidYaWipe 1y ago
What is "this" and how do you define "work?" And if illegals are such a problem, why do the Republicans toady up to the corporations that perpetuate and profit from it?

by DidYaWipe 1y ago
Yep, nailed it. This is such regressive, ignorant junk. I mean... WTF? Welcome to the failed "transparent UI" fad of two decades ago. Apple tried to revive this trash a few years ago, but then seemed to back off (or maybe I just d

I installed Orbstack without Docker Desktop.

That is a recent change. Originally I tried various workarounds, including Google Voice and burner apps... but "Open"AI rejected them.

Never used Chrome, and don't use Meta apps... and when I did, I did not give them any real information. I'm disgusted by the number of people giving real personal information to these assholes. "Open"AI insisted that you

I'm not confusing anything. I'm saying that the example I provided is not intuitively recognizable as a block quote. And it gets worse when you have more nested decorations.

Yep, sure was.

It's not part of my project. It's reference material.

Well, that's nice about Notepad. I'm not sure I agree *something* is intuitive for italic and **something else** is intuitive for bold, or that this is intuitively a block quote: > #### The quarterly results look great! > &g

If I'm in a text environment that doesn't display styled text, I use capitalization, indentation, and spacing.

I was going to call out that out as a strawman, knowing that it doesn't meet the classic definition. Let me look up what's it's called when you bury a not-agreed-with assertion in a question that requires the recipient to agr

I'm not familiar with the first two, but did try MarkText. I don't remember why, but I ended up paying for Marked. Thanks for the references; I'll check those others out.
