Can your watch play Bad Apple?

Can your watch run Doom?

Can you install Arch on that watch?

...

... didn't think so 😛

You paid all that money for a watch that can't do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣

Minimalist web design is making me miss the mess that was the old internet. The terrible designs with dozen of bright elements all assaulting your eyes, the blinking stuff everywhere giving you seizures, the ugly animated GIFs whose pixels you could count, the absence of any coherence for colors and text formatting... It was awful, but at least it was interestingly awful. Each website had it's own unique flavor of awful. Now it's convenient, but it's all the same flavor of boring and bland convenience.

Ouuuuch 😬

The Suicide Squad from 2021. The previous Suicide Squad movie was a disaster and you're making ANOTHER ONE? That movie had no right to be as entertaining as it was.

Also The Batman. Comic book movie: check. Comic book character that has been done to death: check. Everything has to be grim and dark and realistic: check. When I say "everything has to be dark" I also mean the visuals: check. But it was fine, surprisingly.

I also expected a disaster. I wasn't prepared for how entertaining it was!

Fromage!

There's so much javascript everywhere... A few years ago I used to be able to browse the internet with the NoScript extension, and it only required a few allows now and then. Now NOTHING works without javascript, and each website needs you to allow 20 others websites for it to work...

I don't mind that someone designed it, but the people who decided that it would the new standard and the ONLY standard design should be shot. In the legs. And left to bleed out on a raft above a shark tank.

I despise giant image carousels on landing pages so much...

Also you can't force an app to close for real and not access the internet to do heaven knows what, unless you install specific apps to force close them and control them, which most people won't do since they don't even realize that an app is not really closed when they close it...

Electronics that you can't even TRY to repair because there are no screws, the case is just glued together. I had to use a flat screwdriver as chisel along with a HAMMER to open up some dead devices like mouse and controller to see what was inside 😑

Those who design american neighborhoods to be so car centric definitely should.

I'd argue it's less "It looks pretty" as "It looks modern(TM)"...

But if you don't, how will they charge you a subscription for continued usage of your fridge?

I was looking at pc parts recently and not only was there RGB towers... but also RGB CPU. And RGB GPU. And RGB RAM. And RGB fan. RGB pretty much everything... I guess now your computer can double as disco ball should the need arise

Yeah it's so depressing when everything looks dull and muted everywhere 😬

Right the robot support... Especially when the only way to reach support on a website is to go through the annoying support chatbot first... and it's designed intentionally this way to increase the chances of you just giving up 😡

Oh wow that's one unhinged layout!

OMG they made Caps Lock actually useful? 😮

Really? With caps lock I used to get get numbers instead of é è ç. I think... it's been a while since I've been forced to use azerty
