Evolving backwards would be returning to ergonomic UIs with clear HIG being followed, having a scriptable variant for every class of applications, and any piece of software, OS UI included, not acting as an advert. Contrasts and colors and bright pictures are not what I need to see while working. It's as if your screwdriver was built in the form of an alien fish dildo, and had a chain of ringing bells. Why is this bullshit considered normal and usual with computer interfaces, I dunno.

And a company's website is its interface to the world, for the user. Not its advert. They've already seen the advert or don't need it if they are on that website! They want to actually use it.

No, I can't rent a Ukrainian VDS, it might even get me to jail.

But in general, I hope your leadership's assholes fester and they die in horrible pain

That's too easy.

I'm not clicking on what looks like an AI slop YouTube video just to find out why a guy making a video about AI needed to use AI to make the video. Beyond seeing clippy for nostalgia, seeing that it's likely a video about MS I care even less.

If you actually thought it was a video of value, you could have written (or just copy/pasta) a description of the video and why it might be of interest.

I’m not your AI assistant.

It's a reference to "it is evolving, just backwards"

I prefer "enshitification"

You forgot the second part. And a flashy salute to go with it.

Doubt. If I can type with one hand while chatting with those hot women in my area, this guy can type with nine fingers.

I think you'll find that, sadly, nobody is worse for HIG than software engineers, especially Linux aficionados.

They like their design as unpalatable and shit-lookalike as possible.

So is my edc to match it lmao.

Phones are locking down and getting harder to get rom and root support and a lot of projects are either giving up or dying.

Welp! Back to the laptop I go! Been carrying it with me everywhere just like I did before I got a smartphone. The only duties my phone needs to do is make calls, answer SMS and RCS and tether.

Maybe we’ve been pushing way too hard, way too fast into the age of technology being integrated into our every waking moment, bros.

I’m ready to go back to like an iPhone 5 level of technology and Windows 7. Just wish it was realistic.
