Good thing it's not in the HTTP standard but in a joke standard then.

The favicon acts as a separator. I often have way too many tabs and the new style doesn't change anything, it's still very clear where a tab starts and where it ends.

Dramatic much? They changed the style of the tabs. That's it. People really can act like spoiled children sometimes, it's ridiculous. It's not a disaster, lots of less vocal people love how it looks now. I love it.

I hate to say it because I love it, but GitLab. When I'm on a repository, the sidebar has 5 items that I don't use and cannot remove (Github in comparison lets me hide almost anything I don't use: discussions, issues, wiki...

Don't be over dramatic. It's still tabs and an URL bar, there's nothing to adjust to.

This is always the argument used by fanboys, "you're used to Windows crappy way". For them there's no way macOS can actually be suboptimal in its own ways, even without comparing it to something else. I love Apple produc

Windows Update has a clearly displayed "delay for 7 days" button. There's also advanced settings with more knobs. macOS just nags you everyday.

>I don't think it's at all obvious which way is _correct_. From a UX perspective the answer is pretty clear. Copy/Cut/Paste is the winning paradigm, which empirically makes it the correct way.

How does one discover Cmd-Opt-V? Even with a right click after copying a file, there's no "Move" option. Your explanation makes sense but doesn't really seem supported with Finder's UX since the "Move" ter

The Finder is atrocious. It's the worst default macOS app and probably the worst program period I've ever used. It's been so dumbed down that it's basically unusable for anyone slightly experienced. - There's no w

Why does the webpage animation move on scroll? Why is it not just a video? Most trendy product websites do this now (including Apple), but I can't figure out why? As a user, it feels extremely laggy since I don't scroll perfectly

Same, croak and cluck don't map with actual words or meaning in my mind. I just know croak is fatal and cluck is not. It's infuriating.
