Because taking away features passes for innovation these days

She doesn't want a third wheel

I love the high and mighty horse people ride here while effectively stealing videogames (as far as the law is concerned)

I grew up in the XP era so I despise modern GUIs in general, I might not be the right person to ask.

I just want all the information clearly labeled and accessible easily. I want to have buttons and checkmarks for every option possible.

The few times I come across the XP control panel menus or a visual basic app I find it so refreshing and useful. Not having to go through 5 screens to change a basic setting or having to Google how the fuck I access the systems energy plan settings because everything's practically hidden away to keep users from getting "confused"

I just hate the modern trend of "streamlining" and "sleek and modern" designs that just means you have less information, less options and everything is hidden behind 15 submenus.

It's like when you find a web page that hasn't been updated since the early 2000s and suddenly you realize how hostile modern web design is to the user

TL:DR: Not wanting to scare users and hiding away everything just makes users more tech illiterate and makes the experience worse for the tech literate users

Edit: My answer was more of a rant than anything but I really believe a good GUI should be even more practical and easy to use than copy pasting commands in a terminal. It shouldn't be afraid to give detailed Information (albeit in a human readable format) and should seek to improve the user experience not just replicate the backend.

For example if an option that runs a command fails but the guaranteed solution is to run another command first the error sign should say exactly that and have a button that runs the other command with the necessary parameters according to the context of the error

Making the GUIs not follow the axiom of one tool for each job. I shouldn't have to use the terminal if I want to zip a file with a password. It should just be an option in the GUI that uses both commands on its own

The whole point of a GUI is to make the system more approachable not to just replicate the terminal but with buttons

You don't even need to torrent it, there's a couple of webpages that just have community uploaded only fans content. Like you can just lookup the person you're interested in and most of their content is there for free

Honestly I just got a phone holder and use my phone independently of the car for all that. And voice commands never quite worked right in my experoence, but Spanish is the regional language where I live so maybe that has something to do with it.

I do see the appeal of having the screen integrated (when it's actually integrated and not just a tablet hanging off the dash like someone Jerry rigged it there) but I feel rather heavily that at no point you should use a tactile interface in a car and that all and any functions that you can use in your car while moving should have physical buttons so you can use them without thinking

Question from a noob, how do you reconcile one of your players secretly being a super powerful creature during gameplay?

Do you just force them to basically ignore their origin during interactions?

I can change songs from my steering wheel and I own a 2008 Volkswagen Gol which is the third world country version of the golf 2 more or less

You can keep your shitty touch screen I'd rather just have the physical buttons and Bluetooth

Ive never had any issues with it (other than the microphone not working anymore but the stereo itself is a refurb)

People would call that solution AI these days. If it has at least one if statement then they call it AI

I put a "These are not the droids you're looking for" meme as the architecture documentation for one of our apps on GitHub. My boss approved the PR

Imagine the difference trying to get that kind of support these days. Especially from HP

Can't we just press buttons in a screen ourselves?

Has no one made a mod for it yet?

I actually really liked the moon knight series, it was a weird find considering marvel had just Disneyfied so hard at that point

I'm genuinely curious, why do you consider this harmful? They might as well be drawing tits by hand on a picture of the "victim"

I mean sure I wouldnt want to be a teenage girl in highschool right now but I don't think it's the technologys fault but rather our culture as a society

If condition then this else that vs this ?? that

Which option do you think requires less time for a person to identify and understand?

Sure if it's just your own code do whatever comes natural to you but there's a reason we don't use these kind of logical operators in day to day speech is my point.

Ive been a backend dev for 2 years now and I've never come across the ?? operator and every time I come across a ternary operator I have to Google in what order comes what.

Not saying it doesn't make the code more concise and less "noisy" but sometimes a simple if else statement just makes the code easier to mantain

?? Profit

And no one on his team ever understood his code.

Sometimes being declarative is better than being "smart"

Only if you already know how to use all its features and how to deal with all its quirks. Let me tell you trying to use it without having ever used it before it's not easy
