What’s the cube?

Didn’t slack just revamp their entire UI? And also what’s functionally wrong with it? I haven’t had any issues with slack

I really disagree with your first sentence. A few of the icons are obvious, but most are extremely vague. I actually use a Mac every day at work and I can’t tell you what half of these icons are for (I guess I don’t use them). For example the rocket icon, the book (is it a reader or a dictionary or what?), Safari’s icon looks like a map app since it’s a compass.

I don’t know what the history/clock icon is for and the app store icon is just terrible, and has even fewer context clues in languages where the word “app” doesn’t start with a Latin A character.

Icons rely on all kinds of assumptions and cultural cues. They might as well be hieroglyphics to people who aren’t familiar with them, which is why they need to come with labels or tooltips.

Gnu, Firefox, and gcc are not terrible

Ads are the main reason for all the junk though.

How does mass effect have even remotely similar mechanics to bg3? The dialogue is it

Aha asks for Ruby on rails experience in their job listings, so they must be using it as well

If you’re willing to put some effort you can get the original on PC and mod it. It looks much better with mods. The mods are pretty easy to install and it won’t cost you $180 over however many years to get the full story

… But it is FF7. It’s not a new game.

If you really didn’t want to play FF7 again you’d play literally any other game

It makes sense from a pure UX perspective. But of course the real goal of GitHub is to make money, and their paying customers are mostly corporate entities using it for enterprise development. Unless those companies decide that a download button/better release feature is desirable, it’s not likely to happen.

Most corporations tie GitHub into their own build system so such a feature isn’t likely to be considered useful. They pay for GitHub to reduce development costs, which is why GitHub spends so much effort on analytics and the dev experience instead of open source/public users.

I’d prefer a bloodborne remaster over ER DLC

Ubuntu resets my default audio every time I put it to sleep. I have no idea why, other distros didn’t do this. Sometimes it fails to detect the speakers on my laptop completely.

I’ve found Ubuntu to need a lot less effort than other distros so I’m not planning to ditch it yet, but even Ubuntu still has weird quirks like this.

Also, some apps fail to open in x11 for some reason so I have to switch to a Wayland session every now and then. And then switch back to x11 because other apps won’t open in Wayland.

Linux always has some weird usability issue no matter how many distros I’ve tried. It’s getting a lot better but it’s not there yet.

TDD is not appropriate for everything or everyone

Node isn’t a language though.

Slowroll is experimental and it’s still a rolling release that tracks tumbleweed. It might be less maintenance, but not necessarily more stable in terms of bugs. I’ve seen some people report pretty major issues with it in the last couple months.

Leap is the version you want if stability is your priority. You can even get the tumbleweed nvidia driver if you have an Nvidia card and want the latest driver. The only os I’ve used that was more stable than leap was debian. But Leap is much more flexible than Debian.

It should be bg3 just based on how much influence it’s having on the industry alone.

Picking totk as the #1 game this year is just contrarian nonsense.

For real, how is totk better than bg3 from any point of view? It’s basically a rehash of botw with very little in terms of new ideas. Nintendo fanboyism is so lame.

It’s over for beehaw already. Once they decided to ban everyone from the largest lemmy instance, it was over. They aren’t important to the fediverse, period, and never will be with their current leadership who have no idea what they actually want it to be, apart from their personal internet fiefdom.

The short amount of time I was there, it felt like a community built for the moderators and admins, not the users themselves. Frankly the fediverse is better off without them, so I hope they do leave.

Lol - in your other comment you suggested that web devs key off of screen rotation to resize the page, but now you’re saying the client shouldn’t know anything about the viewport at all? Which is it? And why would the rotation angle be useful if I don’t know the aspect ratio of the screen? Or are we now assuming that widescreen will be a thing forever? I thought your ingenius idea was to be able to handle any use case.

The thread OP has an axe to grind against web devs because he thinks they’ve ruined the Internet.
