As it's Microsoft, you can be pretty sure the option to turn off the new look and feel will be removed in 6 months

I felt that Google Maps has been getting ever harder to read. The palette had moved towards a grey-on-grey scheme with very little contrast. This new scheme looks less distinctive... But I think that's a good thing given how hard it was too read the old one sometimes

Rotate it 90 degrees to the right

It's good to look at the original study, but what that tells me is that for the effect to emerge as significant despite the lack of participants, it was quite possibly even larger than the researchers estimated in their power analysis

This is such a common sneer, but it's naive and misguided. In the hope a few people see this, consider a thought experiment: how many students would you have to push off a cliff to get solid evidence that pushing people off a cliff is harmful? The point being that when a phenomenon is powerful, it's quite possible to study it even with small and selective samples.

I know that's a solution, but as a solution to bad design it's a little bit "Just wear a rubber glove to stop your oven electrocuting you". Yeah sure, but maybe design it better?

I've never encountered this, which makes me realise I've been running Firefox beta for ages (with zero issues). Perhaps try that just in case it helps?

Another factor to add to these answers: if the water has been treated (if it's mains water), then a not inconsiderable amount of electricity (and so carbon emissions) will have been used to treat it, and probably quite a lot more electricity will have been used to pump it around the country. So using water is also burning energy

You're right, it at the same time a small number of people trying to post regularly, regardless of whether they've got something that really needs posting, doesn't tend to provide high-quality content - and I fear that's what we're seeing a lot on Lemmy right now.

Flowx. There's a learning curve, as it works differently to most, but it's amazing when you know it

Nobody detected you and went to find you. That...just isn't a thing. Fare evasion here in the UK is handled by checking tickets. I don't know what you saw, but it wasn't what you thought it was

I've got the new Outlook interface and it's not there. There are only three tabs on the top: Home, View and Help. The only online option is Teams, as in this screenshot

Except Outlook only lets you add Teams meetings to appointments, not Zoom, for example. Teams is prioritised in several other parts of MS Office suite
