This is what I use to download game replays from NFL+, because they don’t have a download function for whatever reason

You tend to see nonsensical, disjointed product UX and usability decisions a lot more in bigger, highly hierarchical organisations, with big teams, highly specialised, siloed ICs several levels removed from their end users by layers and layers of middle management fat.

Yep, and those layers and layers of middle management will never walk away from a UI/UX review saying “yeah, looks good to me!” because that wouldn’t justify their existence, so they feel compelled to say something even when there’s zero real issues, which is how you end up with inane bullshit

Haven’t thought about that Weird Al song in a while

Anyone got the original comic?

Author did kinda reference this with the ✨Development Velocity✨ part, but the truth is managers and businesspeople* are the ones that just don’t care. Well, not about users at least. Managers just care about promotions and maintaining the upper hand in office politics, and businesspeople just care about money.

If devs were given the proper amount of time to implement things, they wouldn’t be adding GBs of NPM packages from which only one function is used.

If devs were given any power in the decision-making process, the “17 tracking scripts you put on your websites which added 0.004 pence to your bottom line” would never be added

The platform is definitely part of the problem. Bending over backwards to serve the desires of the Trump administration and the executive class

They said they’re new to Lemmy, so they’re probably used to redditors, and anyone still on that platform is very much not okay

Lemmy mods are the best. reddit mods would’ve deleted this immediately

I miss when the Instagram homepage showed all your friends’ new posts before it showed recommended stuff. Now it’s all interwoven

The Bay Area is probably the only thing keeping that company alive. Every stoplight you pull up to there has at least a couple Teslas

I feel like the result of this is gonna be a big ol nothingburger. There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.

Pretty sensationalist article IMO. I mean, they act like the source code being leaked is newsworthy. Somebody with a month of coding experience could write that website in an afternoon.

You mean the Native American genocide guy?

I think Data would be smart enough to realize that copyright is Ferengi BS and wouldn’t want to copyright his works

Does Jellyfin have good skip intro functionality for TV shows? That was the main thing keeping me from switching last time I considered a couple years ago

It’s weird because Best Picture is usually given to movies that aren’t necessarily entertaining but are artistically interesting. Not sure what is artistically interesting about a romance movie, the genre is just cheesy comfort entertainment

Made by the LEGO Island guy of course

Can’t wait to play the decomp

Wait why are distros removing HEVC?

Trump leans into mic wrong Nintendo has a superb track record as far as backwards compatibility
