  In this case I wouldn’t associate the poor usability with the designers, I think its down to big business not caring. Plus it costs more to make a UI good, and flexible for different user situations. They’ll also hire the cheapest designers. It’s all about saving money and more profit. Their main aim. And in the case of monopolies, people can’t go elsewhere. The problems all come down from the top.

  For some, with only a small screen, wasted space means extra navigation to find hidden commands. A usability fail just so the app looks pretty. Also a symptom of “one UI fits all” just to save businesses money.

  Yes. To a typist, it’s all about the typing. The design, engineering and drawings don’t seem to be important it seems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a centralised network. They need to make maximum profit and don’t need to care about users, because they won’t leave whatever nasty thing happens. Being on there encourages friends and family to stay and suffer too. And keeps people off of decentralized networks.

  I’m surprised people stay on Facebook, then grizzle about how bad they’ve helped it become.

  Not being fast at typing does not mean you are not tech savvy. There is more to tech than typing. Like an architect doesn’t need to be good at brick-laying to be a good architect.

  Twitter was a cess pit before Musk took over. It had gone the way of most centralised networks. People won’t leave or they get cut off and lose their followers. Networks know this, and stop caring. Twitter still exists because selfish people won’t leave. Never join any centralised network. You are helping it go bad. Musk did a good thing in chasing millions off of Twitter. Some stay on there and grizzle about the mess, they themselves, made, and blame it all on Musk.

  Yes, but once again, the fanboys will hail it as an Apple invention.

  Great. Now everyone will be copying Apple’s foldable idea.

  If they choose to support Twitter, they must expect to take the consequences. It’s a known cess pit. Being active on there does harm. You can’t grizzle after drawing innocent people in to such a bad place.

  Ecosia search. For the trees. Think of the trees.
