You could just use a component library with standards. Your argument is essentially that freedom means bad outcomes, but it actually means more possible outcomes.

Fear of bloated webapps taking over the world is maybe paranoia, but well placed paranoia at that. It's not the fault of the tools though, it's the developers who have a terrible mindset. You can argue that the "system"

In a sense, yes. HTML and CSS (with JS?) are the best UI creation combo anyone could ever design, because so much effort has gone into making websites look nice over the decades. Millions of people and thousands of companies trying to creat

It takes 30 minutes of moderate effort to find this information, but really few people bother to do it. Our real problem is our inability to look at the landscape and synthesize a response, either individually or collectively. We know socia

I know that at that time I used to be like "what kind of pleb uses anything other than Windows? Get off your high horse and use the OS that actually works", because well... Windows XP was pretty good, and games worked on it.

My only problem with what you're saying is that you seem to be coming from the perspective that there already is some kind of influence of artists that buck trends, or push the boundaries of art today, or simply provide a new perspecti

I agree, but only in the assumption that "weird artists" are not actually unique, but delusional. This is an opportunity for real artistic innovation to find a foothold, but first we'll have an existential crisis.

A few points: - Culture is already stagnant. In the last 10 years I can't think of a single movement or trend that isn't about politics, and certainly nothing "refreshing". More than that, we have a calcified hubris towa

What you're talking about is "juicy" design. It's what takes UX up a notch and makes applications a pleasure to use, similar to games. I think what people are trying to do is combine the legibility of Windows 98 design w

Nope. That's 2 hours of footage you'd have to somehow extrapolate from a short clip without any artifacts or obvious looping. Even if that part was possible, you'd have to somehow combine multiple different AIs to generate th

What I listed are actually toxic feminine behaviors. That term doesn't get used a lot because people found a hammer and think everything's a nail. Toxic masculinity is manifested through pathological subduing of emotions, mindless

I'm confused here, since when does any form of masculinity include emotional flailing, gossiping, attention seeking, virtue signalling, manipulation, petty grievances, etc?

I didn't mean that at all. That would be ridiculous, and totally worth criticizing. It's simply about untangling your mind. Often people get so wound up in pathology due to their problems that they make things worse than they need

The website just tries to teach the first part of emotional intelligence, which is to interrogate what you are actually feeling, so that you can find the real problem (if any). This is really basic, but it's well known that people wh
