But it won't work on your dad's stock Samsung Galaxy, right?

Boy what a poorly written page!

Figuratively, yes. Literally, no.

Twice I've had the real pleasure of this. A business had hired a headhunting firm, and I applied for that job. They did it so well thrt next time I wanted a job, I called up the guy from that headhunting firm and asked them to place me. They found a great match.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with that.

To think that we can still discover new things about this world - amazing! Gone are the days of merry explorers (hah) so good on these guys for this win!

Exactly reversed of Excel. I wonder why the did that? I can't imagine it's not deliberate.

I know this is a tiny detail but you know how it's like a tiny splinter you can't pull out - not a big problem but an ongoing bother.

Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?

Is Calc still useless compared to Excel?

Average consumers are in a lose/lose situation. Choice is a privilege that not everyone can afford.

I absolutely agree with you. But where I live, Amazon is cheaper than any other sellers, online or stores. I hate it but I only have so much money to spend.

And then for convenience, add a shopping cart so it's not a separate research step - congrats, you've invented Amazon.

That's an interesting one. A blind person can easily describe things using the words they learnt, just like we do. A cube is still a cube even when you can't see it, because you can feel it so you can agree about its shape.

Color blindness is different. My friend is a graphical designer, and he chooses interesting and unusual color combos. He is red/green color blind; both look the same to him. (Fun aside: he is also a taxi driver.) Now, obviously red and green are components in the colors he uses, so what color does he actually see?

We cannot explain colors to each other because it is always in reference to some other color, which is also changed in his vision, and maybe not to the same degree as pure red or green. What color is an orange? We both know without looking, but his perception is different from mine. He would need to not be color blind to become able to describe to me how different he sees stuff.

Never heard of that mode, what is it?

🙂📎 Did you mean "in tents"?

Yup. This is like Windows 11 for smaller screens. Pretty, but useless. Fuck.

Really? Eww, what a pity. But not surprising.

Edit:

What this new design potentially sacrifices in contrast and immediate readability, it arguably gains in aesthetics.

Man, fuck that shit. Form follows function, but instead they are doing what Apple and Windows 10/11 have done: make it ✨pretty✨ instead of fucking readable and actually usable.

Fuck background blur in particular. I want stark contrasts so shit is easy to read under any conditions.

I'm too old for this shit.
