Seems fine to me. I have no issue with it. Seems the same as everything else really. I go from docs, to word, to writer and it makes no difference. Or calc, cells, and excel. Whatever.

Do you often struggle with numbers and letters?

Cool. Which means you emji means nothing to me, I have no idea what you are saying with it or why is is there. Did your keyboard suggest it then?

You told a joke, yes?

From: Scott E Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c> I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-)

Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use

:-(

I hope the formatting works if you are on mobile.

emotes sparingly, but emojis are awful in forum discussions. Always have been.

But now its either one of two things: the keyboard is just recommending them and people click them so they are meaningless, or AI added it. Either way, they are annoying and pointless. That is what words are for.

I see emojis, I see lazy and/or AI.

Thanks for posting, will check out. Interesting project to use Krita underneath.

Easy on those emojis though. Almost didn’t read, we don’t need more of those.

2 minutes to load a web page?

I just went to a random sample of 5 web pages and took 1 to 3 seconds to load. And my internet isn’t great either.

I am not really trying to argue with you, I am curious why some people have no issues and others do. But 2 minutes? Really? Something would have to be very wrong.

Having a real hard time believing this. I can’t tell the difference between the one that ships with graphene or ironfox in terms of pages loading.

Oh not satire, just a troll. Got it.

Lol is this satire?

Seems like it might be easiest to set up a dummy server. Let the device think it reached home.

They already do this. They have fallbacks, but is documented that they do this.

So what do you do with them?

You have to log in at least once as I recall. Or can you exploit them right away?

I think I used ADB to degoogle some of the crap, but I also wonder if there are images to simply replace everything.

Do people have scripts to fix them?

I have one of just sits on the shelf now, I was thinking about trying to fix it again, but it would be nice to have a plan.

For those with Region lock, it goes away if you set it in the country it belongs in first then change it after. But it would be nice to kill that lock without having to go through that step.

Its been a mix of websites for me. It is clear that some are catching on to mozmail domain being a passthrough.

I have a few domains and can create as many emails as I want so that is my fall back.

Mostly its been great. A few sites are blocking it as an alias now. In other words you can’t use it to create the email. I wonder how long it will last.

Phone numbers are regional, for what its worth. So you may see it in one region, travel to another and it doesn’t show.

Kde made double click default, it used to be single click.

Put it back to single click. So much better.

Adjust focus stealing to your liking.

Adjust the color and width of the shadow to make active windows obvious in a dark theme.

Wobbly windows: but set higher than default.

I miss window shade. Hopefully it gets worked out and returns.

LEGO enters the chat: Minecraft must be removed. This seems like a derivative work.

However, I must ask you: do you acknowledge that there is good design in this world, capable of making people of all kind (technical and casuals) understand and enjoy more the software they chose?

Sure. And lots of times we already have it. Then someone comes along and decides to do something like this common practice: dumb things down to the lowest common denominator and make a desktop interface that would appear to appease people who are used to mobile, which ends up alienating both desktop and mobile and is not good for either group. So many examples of this.

Of course not everyone is easy to please, which is why I like FOSS. People say “clean, modern, or dated”, and half the time it just looks like wasted space, more effort, and hidden features to me. Sometimes even removing them for the sake of “clean”.

But I can’t argue that there were people who really put in the effort to polish and make consistent (mostly) the desktop environs like Gnome and KDE, or even applications that are not easy to learn, like Blender.

And I could never argue against patterns that are necessary for accessibility.

You know what is kind of nice? The fact that I have multiple ways to view lemmy with a variety of interfaces, but the back end is the same. There is something to be said for: logic in the backend, presentation in the front end. Typical of good FOSS applications.

The other person did ask me. Then you come in and start swearing and swinging insults.

You might very well be the type of person I do not want an opinion from. You contributed nothing to this conversation and had nothing to say, but boy you wanted to be loud about it.

Edit: And I have to say, look at my comments. I am open to the fact that UI and UX is maturing, that the pressures are different in FOSS projects, and I am somewhat hopeful. You have to admit there have been some rough decisions when leaving well enough alone was just fine.

As for the users: did you forget this?

No it is not ignorant. You are ignorant, LOL!

So many people get a bunch of artsy crap ideas and then implement them breaking simple easy to use workflows. You cannot convince me other wise.

On the other hand, I did mention that to keep their jobs there is churn, and you just mentioned one of the reasons for it, execs are a problem. Buzzwords are a problem. Trends are a problem.

But I can point to lots of projects that were given a team and time. Particularly worse if they asked users what they wanted because they are some of the biggest morons to ask in the first place.
