Hey "UX" designers; stop removing UI components that "clutter" the design or "waste space", they're there for a reason.

For example, here's Vivaldi's settings dialog. It's resizable if you grab the ~1 pixel at the edge. WHERE IS THE EDGE?

Remember when we had human interface guidelines, before mobile design made everything worse? Good times.

My KDE desktop running the Vivaldi web browser in the foreground. Vivaldi's Settings dialog is open on top of Kagi's homepage, which is white, the same colour as the Settings background. The Settings dialog has no edges because "minimalist" design is all about showing the user a completely blank, white page, and completely ignoring decades of human-computer interaction research.

To the people sharing #kamala "I told you so" memes, please be aware it hits me like this:

"Remember when #Biden hung on way past his expiration date and didn't do shit to prepare a successor even though Trump and one hundred GOP leaders promised they would stomp America into a fascist state the second he was out of office, and the #DNC also did fuck all to prepare, and then they ran a last-minute campaign on #vibes that, despite being surprisingly successful for a last-minute campaign, didn't get the job done, and then they and and every candidate except maybe Bernie disappeared while our country burned to the ground? Well, one of those people wants to say 'I told you so.'"

It's not a pleasant experience and I don't want to be reminded of the clusterfuck the Democratic Party has been for the past few years.

This goes for any similar memes featuring R.B. "I refuse to retire because I'm having too much fun" G. or H.R. "I am the DNC and also inevitable" C.

Cher•es fabricant•es de chaussures, par pitié arrêtez de produire des modèles en tout genre avec une large bande blanche autour du soulier. Je sais que vous êtes des petits malin•es et que vous le faites pour qu'elles se salissent plus vite et que nous soyons obligé•es d'en acheter des neuves plus souvent, mais par Toutatis que c'est moche. #mode #chaussures #râle #shoes #2024fashion #rant #pleasestop #fashion

Zuck wants to add more irrelevant garbage to Facebook and Instagram feeds, and you know there isn't going to be a way to opt out.

I'm starting to notice a ton of AI generated images on presentation slides, especially from tech people.

If you feel the need to do this, might I suggest looking for CC-BY/CC0 stuff on, eg., wikimedia instead?

I attended a meeting the other day with 40 slides, each adorned with a weirdly distorted AI image. #pleasestop #justdont #why

I feel like people making multiple mastodon accounts on different instances and cross posting the same thing on all of them… maybe aren’t understanding how mastodon works 😅

I remember when I used to babysit and nanny, and I'd be having conversations with parents about things happening in the world. You know, adult conversations with nuance and complexities..

And a kid would hear something said and pipe up with a random fact about that thing..

*conversation about stress associated with life in a regional area, drought, and decreasing rainfall*
ONE TIME I SAW RAIN AND IT WAS HAPPENING ON THE ROOF AND I COULD HEAR IT BEING LOUD

THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF YOU FUCKERS SOUND LIKE

Please consider:
a. you're allowed to read something without adding to it

b. that thought you just had - it's not profound, just because you've thought it

c. just because something is tangentially related, it doesn't need to be mentioned by you

Please do not use the positive “anymore.” It is a term to be used only in the negative and you pain me and embarrass yourself in the doing.

“When I want a new silken fancy, I just head to eBay anymore.”

No. Not. Thank you.

Today was windshield replacement day. On the way to pick up the car I hit a pothole and punctured a tire. Changed the tire at the windshield shop and learned the new windshield cracked during installation. Drove to the tire repair shop. New tube and repair set up for Monday. New windshield appointment set for next Friday. Pretty expensive day. #adulting #PleaseStop

Dear #linux (various distributions, but specifically #linuxmint

Please, PLEASE stop making software updating processes steal focus. Let me decide what gets focus. It's a pain in the ass to be doing something else, then fuck up or cancel or accidentally say "yes" or "no" to some aspect of the software updates going on in the background when characters from the email I'm typing end up in the software updater dialogue.

I googled this a few weeks ago for an hour or two. I found several other people with the same frustration. I found three responses:

1. There's nothing anybody can do about it, sorry

2. [very complex fucking with system] might work, but don't count on it

3. You shouldn't want to do this. You're bad at being a Linux user.

The has been so gat dang insufferable this Summer. Every day around the peak high the LCD display on my sprinkler timer that faces the afternoon sun just nopes out black.

A Rain Bird sprinkler timer with a blacked-out LCD display due to the heat.

I just wish there were some more total strangers who could email me about helping my business and/or website.

The year is 2023, and still no human can hear if it’s Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel or Peter Cetera who is singing.

A scene from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - at the battle of Helms Deep.  The king, flanked by two of his men, stands grimly in the pouring rain.  (He is looking out at the oncoming army about to attack them.)

I cried this morning. I was overcome by emotions. I mourn the death of the victims the Nashville shooting. As a father of 2, both close to the ages of the victims, I just can't stop thinking about them, and their families.

The more this happens, the harder it hits. I worry every day that the news will show yet another shooting.
