This is the second interesting thing I’ve read about Wichita Falls (there aren’t many). The other is that it’s the home of the “World’s littlest Skyscraper”. Last I checked there was a furniture store there.

Edit: I dropped this]

This image is fake right? Like, it is got so many signs that I just don’t see anymore. Like, this wasn’t even AI, this is just edited, right?

Am I losing it?

Bud theres obviously exceptions for massive suites like that. But I’m talking about apps with built in UIs that the dev clearly threw together as a last minute thought. Apps with every single thing you could possibly have to do either burried deep in 10k submenus, or hastily packed onto a window.

All I’m saying is there should be a clear and obvious workflow. Devs shouldn’t be afraid to say “I know better than you, do it this way”. Throwing every single tool on a toolbar like with Office suites or editing suites is awful IMO. Gimme menus, but gimme menus that make sense (looking at you Microsoft)

Anyway, you can disagree with me, and it won’t ever effect you, that’s the beautiful thing about the open software world. My opinions can be total shit, and you get to just ignore them 🥰

Sorry for rambling, I’m losing my mind a little bit more every day 🫡

As someone who’s neck is potentially on the chopping block in the regime, can we not with the “these Nazis are so gonna get it in 4 years” shit? It absolutely screams “this doesn’t effect me but I want the other liberals to know it upsets me a little bit”

A lot of devs don’t put much work into planning the flow of their GUI from a user’s perspective and it really shows.

IMHO a UI should offer everything a user can do in a given moment, readily available, nothing hidden behind more than a single menu. If something isn’t currently possible, it shouldn’t be available, and if the dev chooses to make the option visible but unavailable, it should be clearly and visibly marked as something that can be available (grayed out text for example).

I think devs tend to overestimate both the skill of the user, and the usefulness of their UI.

Strickland - “Good god Hank, what the hell is going on in your grill?”

Hank - “Refinery flare?”

Strickland - “A petrochem refinery flare? With this oil shortage? This far from the Gulf? Located entirely within your grill?”

Hank - “Yup”

Strickland - “May I see it?”

OK I’ll bite, what’s the joke?

Every dial pad I’ve ever seen, including old rotary phones, has numbers and letters on it. This is not new. This has been a thing for over 70 years now.

Based on this, your phone is the problem, not my phoneword.

As someone who wants to be as untrackable as possible without arousing suspicion, yes please gimme cash for online transactions.

I don’t actually want that, but yeah that’s totally a thing. Zorin, RHEL, I’m certain there are others with support contracts.

But my free security suite that found 358+ viruses and says I’m missing 200 DLLs said to call 1-800-NO-VIRUS and their technician will fix it over the internet!

You can’t, that’s not immediately obvious when the computer is telling you otherwise

Ed: spelling, also this is a pretty obvious joke… I’m not sure why I have to explain this.

Never want to defend Steve Jobs, but it DID get worse service if you deathgripped the antenna region. That shouldn’t happen, but also, like, c’mon you’re gonna hurt your hand. Steve was right.

IDK friend after 20 years I kinda wish I had the ignorance of the average Windows user. I don’t want to troubleshoot for 3 days, I wanna call a random IT helpline and let them deal with it, but alas, I unfortunately know what I’m doing.

This was years ago, I was working a supervisor position at a certain green mythical sea lady themed coffee chain. I was sitting in the parking lot before my shift enjoying a shitty chili dog from sonic way more than I should have been. Previously that day, I’d recieved a text from my manager asking me to go in early, I elected to ignore it, I’m off the clock I have no obligation to text back or even acknowledge the message. Back to the chili dog. So, I’m scrolling through my phone and I see a message in the group chat for my store where someone asked some kind of question, probably something was broken idk. I replied with an answer and immediately had a text from my manager that said something along the lines of “how you gon reply to that after ignoring me all day?”

I walked in and gave him a shaky nervous lecture (I have really bad anxiety and hate confrontation) about how he doesn’t own me or my time when I’m off the clock, he has no authority over me when I’m off the clock, and it’s bullshit that he’d be whining in my inbox about petty stuff like that when he could’ve talked to me in person about it five minutes later when my shift was scheduled to start. I ripped the key off my chain and threw it at the ground in front of him and said to “work the shift your fucking self”.

Yeah, I was immature. There were a million better ways to handle it, but he happened to catch me in a critical time between being radicalized and learning emotional intelligence. Sorry dude, you got all my corporate rage in one go.

Whatever, left the worst job I ever got koolaided into enjoying that day.

What about when the time of Mammals is done, and the next inhabitant has a chitinous exoskeleton? I’m not sure they’d recognize bones as a sign of this place being dangerous.

Godus lived up to the hype til the scaled it back to hit the mobile market then immediately stopped development after making the older more finished build unavailable. It was a genuinely good game. Was.

It is ethical to pirate Molyneux scams.

Yo what people do that? Gnarly.

Burner sim won’t help, you need a burner phone too.
