  • I would not trust any company/website to properly encrypt any important messages in the first place so I don’t care whether they add a backdoor (and I’ve never had a Twitter account anyway).

    …but it sounds like a really shitty development/release process to me. Why would you disable something while whatever is to come in its place is not ready yet?

    Why not do the development first and then migrate when it’s actually ready lol


  • Massive +1. I can easily imagine complex 3D shapes in my head and freely manipulate them, but my brain works horrible when it comes to icons for some reason. I can’t intuitively find what I need, not even after months or years. Even after using something for a long time I will constantly hover over all icons to read the tooltips until I find what I need.

    The software I work on at work has a navigation at the top of just icons. I see it every day and I just can’t seem to associate the icons with the functionality.


  • I do it, too. I rarely read any text without subconsciously marking the text while reading it. Might be a tool for me (ADHD) to make it easier not to lose track - I don’t know.

    But regardless of why people do it and while I agree that it’s probably something very specific not a lot of users do, I refuse to believe that anyone actually uses those select->popup-> share features, ever. Often the little pop-up even blocks the text above it which is just insanely bad UX imo.

    Sites should never mess with core functionality without asking (scrolling, selection, tab/keyboard navigation, hijacking common shortcuts/right click, clipboard, history, etc).

    I believe someone came up with that idea a decade+ ago and people just want it on their site to add value without actually checking if anyone uses it.











  • Also a great VR Headset and the runtime used by this and many other VR Headsets. If anyone is actually innovating it’s Valve. Everyone else is mostly trying to catch up to the features Steam provides.

    Steam isn’t just the client, it’s also a ton of APIs (steamworks sdk) and services available to developers for integration with Steam, Steam workshop, distribution of updates, cloud save, multiplayer, chat, achievements etc.

    No other launcher comes even close in terms of functionality even if the UI isn’t perfect.
