Bevels were introduced in user software well before 2.0 changed the design system-wide. I remember seeing plenty of software that ran on 1.3 that had 3D gadgets, and there was an unofficial on-the-fly system patch that could provide 3D wind

The so-called "legitimization" of predatory dark patterns is something that we collectively should never have allowed to happen, and which we should be demanding be changed. But as seen by the recent rejection of Stop Killing Game

The Golden Age of the Web is already long in the past. With companies like Google directing the web in ways Microsoft could only dream of in their Internet Explorer days, we have no chance unless the rest of the world raises billions of dol

I don't want animation in my UI at all. I'd much rather have hard cuts between states, as it used to be. Wasting processing cycles making things look pretty yet it almost always results in a worse situation for the user.

But I'm sure you understand that AI-driven "AI detectors" have an error rate of probably 90%, right? I've heard of people taking old writings from 30 years ago, feeding it to an AI detector, and being told "this is

The US has a really bad problem with parents thinking they should have deity-level say over every single aspect of how their kids are raised. This is very ironic, since the US also has a really bad problem with other parents thinking they c

Coming? The advertising cartel has been coming for the web browser since Google bought DoubleClick in March 2008 and then released Chrome in September. "Eternal September II" is when Chrome was first released to the public.

I just wonder why he didn't boot up an Amiga emulator and copy the files out that way. Could even run DiskSalv on the disk image to look for data in the slack space. Or he could have used a tool like what comes with ADFlib ( https:&#x
