We used to make fun of Windows loading bars. Luckily these days it’s a cross-platform experience. Why not start with a zero indexed loading bar?
Finally upgraded to iOS13, now that the supposedly “actual” final version 13.1 came out. Trying to archive an email. Where did the button go? I can only trash and remove messages now? What?
Turns out, everything other than “Trash” is now hidden behind the “Reply” symbol. Tapping it does not reply, but instead reveals a gigantic menu.
Why not just use at least some of all that whitespace for commonly used functions – as it was the before? And why do Trash and Reply switch sides in that menu as opposed to their positioning in the normal view?
What are these other words even and why aren’t the da* words listed first?
In iOS 13 Apple finally revamped Reminders.app, unfortunately only on iOS so far. If you ignore the warnings, update to iOS 13 and start Reminders.app it’ll tell you to “migrate” your Reminders data to the new version.
This comes with the nice side effect of breaking Reminders on all devices not on iOS 13 or not on the—currently unreleased—version of the new macOS.
Google, generally not known for their sensible design choices, with yet another rough corner in the Google Cloud Platform interface.
This is what my – usually maximized – iTerm2 window looks like after I (dis-)connect my external display. Latest and greatest MBP and macOS. It’s not always like that, though. Nope, sometimes it’s even tinier! More than once I had to actively look for it for a minute, because occasionally it gets shoved outside of the visible area for extra annoyance.
Without something like BetterTouchTool I’d probably have to go and revert those fucked up window states from some plist file somewhere to be able to even open new usable windows, because that positioning and size is (re-)stored between sessions.
Apple’s renewed focus on the details is fully apparent already. Now with iOS 13 we also get a nice overlapping header in the Mail.app.
I’d expect that kinda shit from Amazon (ironically they don’t even do that with free Prime months, even though they intentionally word it as if they did – but they don’t) or some shady freemium app. Definitely not looking forward to Apple embracing the inherent shittyness of a “services” company.
So https://totallynoscam.com/pinkypromise/twitter.com/gotem is like totally fine, right? As long as I got a valid SSL cert for my super legit totallynoscam.com domain
(Bonus annoying: They included an extra period at the end within the quotation marks. Taken literally, none of their own links would fit that rule.)
There’s an unwritten rule that every website remotely connected to the travel industry has to be filled to the brim with dark patterns.
