The sooner your economy crashes, the sooner the people revolt. Just telling them how bad things are getting/going to get doesn't seem to be enough.

Hahaha, yeah; foreign countries are shipping products to uninhabited Arctic islands hoping the penguins know how to print fresh labels and re-route the shipments...

Lmao, do it pussy.

China doesn't give a fuck, but your citizens certainly do.

Hasn't the US claimed they have no authority to do so? Last I saw, the Trump admin was claiming it's up to El Salvador to return them.

Sounds like you want a private messenger, not a public forum...

I think your interpretation is more the exception than the rule.

On the contrary; the good CEOs are just much quieter. The bad ones are in the news every other week with a new story about how shitty they are. We rarely praise kindness and successes, focusing instead on the latest screw up; so it seems like the screw ups are more prevalent because that's all you ever hear about.

It's hard to see the light, when you're constantly pushed towards the dark.

Lmao. I'd only scrolled far enough to see the top half, paused and though to myself; "you could probably calculate how fast that shit was going, using the speed of gravity as a reference."

Then I scrolled to see it had already been done...

The Columbians get upset when you cut their shit; pride over that 'pure un-cut' label...

You don't just casually naw on a whole loaf?

Finally, we made it clear that customers can serve video and other large files using the CDN so long as that content is hosted by a Cloudflare service like Stream, Images, or R2.

You're supposed to smoke the grass, not cut it.

LPL showed us how he beats his one-eyed monster. He even convinced a friend to let him beat theirs on camera too. (gotta say, I'm not a fan of the veins or the puss...)

23hr and counting.

I mean... Yeah. That's why they went to a therapist...

UIs are justified in not pointlessly expanding into space they have 0 use for; leaving it available for other actually useful applications.

When I go to the buffet, I take what I'm actually going to eat, leaving what I don't need for others; I don't just empty the table into a bag knowing full well I won't eat it all.

Because the app you're working on is using all of the space it requires. It has no need to expand into the unused space.

Web pages and office documents are tall items that already take up as much of the screen as they reasonably can. Perhaps you could move the tool bars to the sides (and many applications do have these options), but users tend to find that cumbersome and that still doesn't even come close to utilizing that space. Instead they are kept in a format that allows you to comfortably put two documents (or other windows) side by side because that's FAR FAR more useful than pointlessly expanding the UI.

It sounds like you're excusing poor UI design by saying "just use the extra space for something else"

I'm not excusing poor design, I'm saying in many cases there is no UI design you could implement to use the full space. You have to accept that somethings are a different form factor and either use the extra space for something else yourself or accept that it's just unnecessary space in this particular use case.

I am saying "just use the extra space for something else", because that's exactly what it's for. You have a wide display so that you can display wide content or several pieces of tall/square content. Expecting EVERYTHING to conform to a single form factor is insane.

Not everyone needs to multitask in two apps simultaneously.

No, that's when you just accept that there is additional space available to you for when (not if, WHEN) it becomes necessary.

Just because you don't need it 100% of the time, doesn't mean you shouldn't have it for when you do.

Yes, that is my response and I stand by it.

Some applications take advantage of the full widescreen, some don't need it. It's entirely up to you to use the additional space for something else when a single application doesn't need the extra space given to it or you just accept that it's not needed right now.

It's not the user's fault.

Yes, it is the users fault. Because the user is whining that not every single application and piece of media is the exact same form factor like that's at all a reasonable expectation.

You're seriously upset that sometimes you've got more space available than absolutely necessary?

I don't think widescreens exist "primarily for additional tasks in an office setting"

Perhaps I worded this poorly.

In an office settting; the primary use of a wide display is to have multiple tasks/windows open. An email your composing beside a document you're referencing for example.

My main point here is the additional space is there for you when you want it, instead of being missing when it's needed.

Saying "You're using it wrong" is blaming the user for using the computer the way it was presented out of the box.

You've gotta cater to the lowest common denominator there unfortunately. Things like this are presented in a simple easy to understand format, so that as many people as possible can get started with minimal help. Some people excel and explore the limits of their systems and what they can do with it; others don't get past 'computer basics 101' while using their computers for little more than a web browser.

"you're using it wrong" is a bit harsh. What you're doing isn't wrong, more like "there's more you could do to utilize the technology you have available".
