Do you want to give your users eye strain?
Because as someone with astigmatism, I'm just looking at screenshots of that bullshit and my head hurts already

Spicy UI take:
I want to be able to easily see the UI elements on my computer so that I can interact with them
Even if I have imperfect eyesight
So like
Opaque buttons and windows and scroll bars of a reasonable size with sharp edges so that my eyes can focus
I don't want the UI elements to disappear or blend in or for whatever is in the background to be visible through them
I need them to be easily visible because my eyes are shit
Thanks

Apple or designers or whatever: "All those things that make your computer usable? We made them subtle and disappearey and took away the borders and make them slide away unless you mouse over them. They get out of the way of the ~content~ you see."
Me: "I need my computer to work on it, I don't just dick around on the internet all day."

@researchfairy my hope is not enough linux users have working GPU drivers for it to be viable, but i wouldn't put it past gnome to insist on burning all your CPU time on it with llvmpipe "as a fallback"

@aeva @researchfairy There was a release of Ubuntu about 15 years ago that had windows that jiggled while you dragged them on by default. The temptation is real.

@jkaniarz @aeva @researchfairy okay I never saw this on by default, but I did have a ton of fun with Compiz and it kinda blew me away how much more options there were than Windows. I could make virtual rain or have fire particles trail from my cursor. Definitely don't make these things defaults, but having them as options is pretty cool. I even wrote a little script to listen to a microphone and trigger the desktop rain effect when I whistled the Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time...

@tiotasram @jkaniarz @researchfairy that's amazing. compiz was great fun, but compiz was also something you had to go out of your way to install

@dotstdy @researchfairy I do sometimes miss having a little button on my computer that turns on fire when the mood calls for it...

@Archimed3 l'essere un po' didascalici aiuta, però sì capisco il senso di tediosità che spesso e volentieri può saltare fuori senza cogliere il punto o uscendo dal tema (il caro e vecchio OT!)
un guaio in effetti è che mastodon, come gli altri social, quasi "impongono" l'utilizzo del blog solo per robe corpose, lunghe e laboriose perché per i pensieri più mordi&fuggi "c'è l'altro", che poi progressivamente è un po' diventato tutto

@Xabacadabra [...] ricordo lettere dentro una rivista che iniziavano tutte con una lunga premessa che riassumeva la propria carriera di gioco con dettagli tutti simili. Questa consuetudine moltiplicata per decine di lettere ha appesantito il contenuto della rubrica.
L''incaricato delle risposte scrisse più o meno "dite quel che dovete dire e basta!". Semplice, ma mi è rimasto impresso. Non è tanto quanto scriviamo in se, ma considerarlo anche nell'insieme delle robe inserite nel quotidiano

@matz @lysander ci sono delle cose che potrebbero non piacerti tipo: "If you decide to stop using Weglot, your website will no longer be translated. All translations are stored on Weglot’s servers. However, you can export all your translations using our import/export feature before discontinuing the service to save your translations." che è quello che abbiamo fatto quando abbiamo reso poi il sito statico.

@Xabacadabra il buono del blog è che offre abbastanza spazio per esprimere se stessi, ma da gestire con la giusta misura. Il blog che mi piacerebbe realizzare sarebbe una via di mezzo tra l'immediatezza che ha un singolo pensierino social e tutto ciò che è approfondimento dello stesso, in "molta" sintesi. Un palloncino d'elio ancorato, evitando l'effetto mongolfiera grossa soprattutto rinunciare alla tentazione di fare intrattenimento e puntare sulla consistenza di ogni frase presente [...]

@valhalla @GustavinoBevilacqua @guardaminfaccia sicuramente e lo vedo tutti i giorni anche qui sopra. chissà perché c'è la convinzione in chi è esperto in qualcosa che i suoi interessi (in questo caso l'informatica) siano gli stessi anche per il resto della gente quando la realtà è che a molti giustamente non gliene frega nulla di capire come funziona un computer, vuole solo che gli sia risolto un problema. se uso shazam per sapere il titolo di quella canzone di cui solo solo una frase o un riff, non me ne frega nulla di sapere la trasformata di fourier ed è giusto così.
