  • Sometimes when you get UI experts and users and engineers in the same room they iterate to similar outcomes because its the logical conclusion. Apples design in this case isn’t ground breaking or even original.

    If multiple species of jumping spider can independently evolve the ability to see red from different branches of their family tree, multiple dev teams can come to the same conclusion about what is more comfortable for reaching with consideration for left and right handed people on various types of screens.

    The problem is so scoped these days, its fairly logical for UIs to come to the same outcome.















  • “Why the internet isn’t fun anymore” - proceeds to talk about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

    Completely fails to mention any fediverse sites, or any of the millions of other sites out there.

    If you’re the author, the internet isn’t fun anymore because you don’t use it. You visit the corporate websites only. You either never learned how to use the internet, or you’re not interested in actually trying.

    Its like the person who never leaves their neighborhood and complains that life is boring.




  • This. I’m glad they are getting rid of the sham of a kids client. It’s a joke that anyone should think the content is kid safe. No more lulling parents into a false sense of security.

    I was supervising my son watch this one day and had to step away for a few minutes to answer the door. When I was gone a new video came on with Peppa Pig murdering her family and all the characters from the show. Actually bleeding and all.

    I reported the video, didn’t get taken off the kids platform. So I contacted support - they said it was kid safe.

    Kid safe?! Dafuq? I had his account set to under 6 and this is what they consider kid safe?


  • I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

    If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

    Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

    My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

    Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

    I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.
