  Idk X has different problems in that area, it’s not really a place for meaningful discussion, and it’s often used by bad actors who just want to spread chaos, and with Elon at the helm I can’t see X different way of doing things anyway

  They’re social platforms, not entertainment, and it’s to prevent echo chambers

  Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get “loyal customers” who are willing to put up with bs

  Mindset switch to not thinking of that communication as email. At least at my work place it took a while for people to not be overly formal and just go straight to the point, which slows things down. It’s meant to be an instant communication channel after all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s a system issue, it’s more of a people issue, a lot of people are still using things like teams and slack as if they’re email which bottlenecks everyone, but with the correct training and mindset switch it can be very efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get a radio playlist of most songs I believe, it’s a context option, unless you mean a different type of radio playlist, but the feature I mentioned has satisfied that need for me

  Well maybe not on paper but they did leverage it a lot when questioned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model? Weren’t a lot of the advantages (like access to data and scraping) given with the stipulation that it’s for a non-profit? This sounds like it should be illegal to my brain

  It won’t block it yes but it will diminish the amount of people doing it which is the point

  You really want to memorise different shortcuts for search? What if you’re on a web app like discord? Ctrl+f isn’t gonna be as useful as a built in search solution that has access to data that isn’t visible until searched for. I get the issues on disabling the features but if they’re replacing browser behaviour with something that suits the site better I think that’s alright as long as it’s not s downgrade.

  Careful with those, almost started a house fire once because the connection wasn’t as tight as it needed to be. With it being magnetic and carrying power you into the risk of metal debris magnetising itself on it and completing a circuit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  • It’s about the same size as the before screenshot if you added one more toolbar, except you have better groupings
  • you can customize it, if you find features you frequently use are in hard to reach spaces. I doubt it actually fully hides the thing, and they’ve also majorly improved the search at the same time as they deployed the ribbon so you can use that as backup. It’s not like features weren’t hidden before anyway, you just didn’t use them yourself at the time to notice.
  • you mean the extra tabs it can get? It never fully changes everything afaik, just get a few more tabs that are otherwise not needed.

  I simply dislike the connection that clean modern design is for noobs and power users just need a list and that’s it. It’s not like the design is made without consulting or taking in data from advanced users, and if you’re truly a power user you can customise it and make it your own. No, I believe that’s just stubbornness to trying something new, or lack of openness to do so when it’s not a priority to evolve your workflow, you simply want to get from A to B. Feel free to correct me, but tight compact layouts aren’t inherently power user friendly, just as padded grouped layouts aren’t inherently anti-power user

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But the ribbon is the improvement over the non-ribbon UX. There’s just no pleasing some people who don’t want anything to change, even if they’re currently struggling to use all the tools they have available and they’ve stockholmed themselves into learning workarounds. Someone else posted about how before the ribbon, when asked for features to add, people asked for features that they already had access to, but didn’t know about it

  It’s not that there are no other markets, the key aspect is “exponential growth”, they want to n+5x their profits year over year

  Doesn’t office already have a very powerful search bar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure I follow, even in the example above there’s many icons that are interactive but aren’t enclosed in a button, do you have any other examples?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well a big problem is when a UI has a small learning curve that then gives a huge benefit in usability, letting the user decide based on their feelings might lead to them having a worse off experience in the end, is that something you’d be open to getting people complaining about not finding their options day and night while they stubbornly avoid the ribbon?

  They are, but we’ve mostly got our subconscious doing it still, it’s not that we’re always doing big tasks we just have dedicated processes for it, so maybe that’s one way to tackle the problem, specialised processes for sorting data types that engages the main process to do the processing of said data.

  I mean if anything, look at Velcro and how generalising a term makes it untrademarkeable. Overusing words can and will screw companies.

  Extend GDPR or create a similar framework. It’s also why I said “or disincentivising”, if we can make it a good pr move to license from artists and provide a system to do so through easily while admonishing companies that don’t use it we could get the bad pr to be too much compared to weaseling around the licensing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Make History Come Alive With AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do that by banning or disincentivising the less ethical option, the moment it’s less economically viable, they’ll pivot, unless it isn’t an option.
