Just like a museum dedicated to one artist, most of these websites are here to present the art works. Experiments are fine but if I can’t navigate in your website it’s useless. The top 3 most upvoted comments on this thread are about the

Is it just me or is the usability of websites of artists / art galleries significatively worse than other websites? I always feel like these were made by someone who only care about the art and totally forget the UX. For example, invis

Same here in France. You hardly can’t look at a restaurant’s menu without being prompted for a Facebook login.

This is becoming ridiculous: Meta never threated this; the info comes from a SEC filling where this is presented as the worst-case scenario if they have too much trouble with EU data access laws.

It goes beyond passwords. I use 1P to store documents, 2FA codes, IBANs, notes. You can also attach arbitrary metadata to each entry, and I don’t think there’s the ability to filter by category in the iCloud keychain.

It used to be, but nowadays the organization only claims to "observe" how the language evolves instead of deciding what’s valid and what’s not. Also, France doesn’t have the monopoly of French: 80% of French speakers are outside F

I’m always wary of these lists, because if you search for the languages you know you always see that most of them are actually translatable and/or rare expressions that nobody uses.

If that’s the case they should remove all the expressions that are on the website. 5 of the 15 untranslatable Italian “words” are multi-words like “in boca al lupo” (totally translatable: “good luck”) and “rompere il cazzo” (literally “fair
