I remodelled my baby’s mobile for exactly this reason. Seemed stupid to have the animals face up when baby is underneath, so I turned them round and made them detachable so baby could pull them off and play with them too.

Thanks for the link! Hadn’t found this one yet.
That’s how I developed my lifelong love of buttholes.
When the project manager forgets that the users are stakeholders, and are entitled to representation and influence.
The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.imo loading several video recommendations while im just scrolling through comments is very bad, especially because the API calls are seperate and load both sides seperately. huge waste of bandwith when im only interested in the text, which is barely any bandwidth
Youtube 2012 loaded in 1 second on a 5MBit line. HTML, CSS and JS for a page was a few hundred kilobytes.
You can profile the current “responsive” version in your browser. It might not look horrible but it’s a technical abomination. I doubt it’ll even load anymore in a browser from 2012.
100% certain that if they kept their 2012 UI, we’d be complaining about how outdated their UI is.
No? That would be true if we were the Twitter community. But, for Lemmy, I am pretty sure most people that are on Lemmy fancy Reddit’s outdated old.reddit.com UI as well because it’s more simple. Things are much lighter, but still work.
Well luckily we don’t use browsers from 2012. Thanks god for that. Modern browsers and web standards are so much better.
I do feel like the mobile app has been getting progressively buggier over the last year. Maybe it’s just me but the mini-player has been glitching out for months and other weird stuff has been getting more prevalent like yesterday I had the YouTube play button icon stretched and distorted as an overly across the whole app until I restarted it and creating a queue didn’t work until I started a new video manually.
I hate the app so much, it always starts to play random shit while I’m just browsing/searching.
I couldn’t tell you. I ditched it for GrayJay since it was in alpha and couldn’t be happier.
I really don’t like how hitting the back button minimizes the currently playing video instead of going back to the previous played video, personally

this string isn’t too bad. there are some others but this is my default query string.
You forgot Quora. That site used to be semi-useful. These days I can never tell whether I’m reading an actual answer to the question or just some random recommended post that’s been shoved in in between.
Right? Whenever I go on Quora I have to double-check whether the response I’m reading is actually the answer or just another post
It turned into Yahoo Answers when JBP promoted it.
I think Quora is on another level. It’s a weird zombie site these days
Just use a 3rd party a…h, crap.
The discord UI was great. And then they made it ugly and slow as fuck.
Honestly, I find it pretty decent. I only wish I could see timestamps per message on the new UI
Personally I’ve found the recent change to be a few steps forwards in some places and a few steps backwards in others
I’ve been using aliucord
Thanks a lot for that tip. The UI is Vetter and its also mich faster.
Yeah it takes as much bloat away as possible. On my linux system I use webcord. My friend showed me their discord app and I was so confused. I forgot I wasn’t on Discord’s official app
I refuse to do the username change so I get the pop-up every time a client opens up. It’s lovely.
The secret ingredient is enshittification.
Haha, you think those are bad? Try any professional tools, like CAD’s, DAW’s, or 3d modelling software.
Or, even worse, any internal corporate software, the bigger and the older the company is, the better… at being the worst, that is.
Or. actually, just go to an any airline’s office to buy a ticket and witness the atrocity they have on their monitors. No, those are not blue screens of death. That bunch of gibberish is the actual UI. And the only way to interact with it is by typing in commands that read like something that Lovecraftian creatures would sound like.
Command line isn’t actually bad UI for professionals. It’s way faster than using a mouse.
Command line isn’t bad, but that isn’t quite it. It’s a terminal, but not really command line, think more like htop as compared to gnu utils. And they use it not because it’s efficient, but because it dates back to where there was no other option. It’s extremely convoluted, and if you’ve ever had problems with airlines before (mainly baggage) - chances are, it’s because somebody messed something up in this system.
Are you a zoomer? Command line is way better than a billion little buttons
I haven’t tried many CAD softwares but AutoCAD has really intuitive UI. I used to be able to find most things by just thinking what tab it should be based on what it is. It actually inspired me to learn better programming and software design to make something intuitive. I haven’t used it in years since I came to Linux so as long as they haven’t changed it.
Those systems are so much faster and more reliable than the bubbly shit we have now. All that crap on the screen is what we call “information density.” It’s designed for people who work with it several hours a day and understand it, not for some random to be able to learn in 15 minutes. It has a longer learning curve, but is way more efficient in the end.
I agree. That stuff tends to be much more stable than the newy swipe-and-drag interfaces. These designs are basically unbreakable. I dig that so.

It’s actually optimized for them. The goal is to get users to spend time and see ads etc. The UI is not made for us users.
Just like cellphones.
There are no ads in discord, there’s really no point to force the new UI on everyone.
Yet

Edit: it’s more loot box stuff… but it’s step one
SAP: “Step aside, kids”
Guess it doesn’t look like this anymore:
Hahahahaha. I hate SAP with a burning fury. I’m not sure if it’s looked like this for a long time as I’ve only been in my career three years, but yep yep yep yep, looks exactly the same.
Then it’s looked like that for at least a decade, nice.
Imagine they have new versions with new UIs, but legacy businesses ain’t gonna pay for those upgrades and retraining and re-integration costs!

Imagine that they want every customer to move to their new “cloud” system, S/4HANA, come hell or high water. Because that’s happening, apparently.
Yikes.
I blame capitalism.
Thanks for that link.
Anyone who thinks that these three have the worst UI possible has never had to deal with a really bad UI. Try Sharepoint on for size. Or Azure. Or Jira. And there’s likely still way worse stuff than those.
I hate sharepoint so much.
For a tool whose purpose is to share stuff, I sure have a hard time finding things in it.
Azure is so bad!
Jira got too useful for its own good.
Microsoft stuff is always … very consistently microsoft lol it almost feels like they tried too hard to make it looks simple on the surface, and then ended up shoving all the rest randomly in drawers/cabinets/boxes/wherever…
Yall must not work in manufacturing.
How many of your machines use Comic Sans font on the operator touchscreen?
And how many times has someone had to pull the PLC programming to resize the button clip art jpegs to fix and overlap that caused the machine to run 2 different functions at the same time if they tapped too close to one side?
Let’s add google drive.
I hate their ui.
Can someone tell me how to force Google drive to show me folders instead of files on start? Why would I ever need to look at a mess of files? I spend time organizing them into folders a reason, no thanks Google I really wanted them haphazardly thrown in my face.
Is this the setting you’re talking about?
The worst thing they did with the UI which OneDrive also does, is take the universally understood concept of “Saving” and make it mean 5 different things within the same program.
I’m not seeing “Amazon” or the plethora of online shopping stores that have followed in its footprint of complete and utter shit. To this day, I can’t understand how Amazon became so big with a user interface so fucking awful but goes to show it doesn’t actually fucking matter.
Amazon UI is so bad if you type ‘subs’ in the product search it auto-suggests ‘subscriptions on my account’ and a dozen ‘subscribe and save’ variations because people wind up using the product search trying to find that stuff.
Oh, I had that problem too, try changing your search to “bottoms” 👍
GIMP
How do you have these listed and not the myriad of FOSS products that are garbage to use.
Y’all remember mumble? Easy peasy compared to discord amirite?
GIMP looks a lot nicer than it did 20ish years ago, but it’s still really really bad.
I can somewhat forgive FOSS tools for having poor UI, but GIMP is one tool that really should have some love poured into the UI and how usable it is for power users.
GIMP does look better now, but I feel like its workflow is actively working against the user experience.
Y’all remember mumble? Easy peasy compared to discord amirite?
But Mumble is not a Discord alternative, it’s a TeamSpeak alternative.
Ventrilo gang where you at?
👌👍
Tip: Type / in GIMP for a command palette
Discord always had the worst UI I’ve ever seen. Followed by Snapchat.
Discord’s new mobile app is fucking unusable sometimes. Sometimes I just stuck with that add picture pop up and nothing I do will make it go away.
Not to mention that all of the controls disappear off the screen the second you don’t click on them so you can’t just mute yourself conveniently you have to tap the screen twice to bring up the icon to click so you can mute yourself but sometimes it doesn’t recognize when you click on the screen.
I’m just impressed with how unbelievably terrible that app has gotten. I didn’t even think about it before, It was just simple to use.
Tapping a notification doesn’t take me to the message, but rather to the DMs list, where the app promply gets stuck, so I have to restart it.
It’s not only horrible, it’s straight up buggy. What I don’t understand is why they wanted to make their app a shitty Facebook Messenger clone in the first place.
It was horrible before. On the other hand nobody should use Discord, I wish the bad UI would turn off people to use it at all.
coming from slack I actually found discord rather intuitive, snapchat on the other hand…I never understood what kind of freek would want to take a selfie the first thing they open a social app
