I dislike this new trend of trying to make your site's text look like LLM output. It's incredibly annoying to read at a fixed slow pace.

- kps 3y agoEspecially since I have @prefers-reduce-motion set.
- fkyoureadthedoc 3y agoI'm curious if the average developer would consider text appearing with no actual motion (no scale, pan, translate, fade, no tween whatsoever) a candidate to disable for @prefers-reduce-motion
- kps 3y agoI suspect the average web developer doesn't know or care about @prefers-reduce-motion (even less than @prefers-color-scheme), but for the few that do, I would expect to err on the side of caution, eliminating any animation and any page change that is not made absolutely necessary by user interaction.
- w0m 3y agotbf it predated LLM output by a fair margin. But mostly agree, my firefox on a decently powerful laptop was jerky enough I turned it off.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoYes, I was recently playing some retro games from the 8-bit era and lots of them did it with clicking noises that I assume were meant to simulate a teletype.
- fipar 3y agoI think in this case it's because the book is about typewriters and it has nothing to do with LLMs. I agree it's annoying but I think this particular site has some aesthetic reason to do this.
