how making everything harder made iphone "the first usable smartphone"? that makes no sense

it's more ergonomic not having to use device that actively tries to hurt you

the physical and mental pain related to the terrible "keyboards" and cooling systems and small, poorly positioned screens laptops offer makes the usability nearly non-existent

"new way of working" on iphone is using fork to move soup from your pot to bowl instead of ladle, that simply doesn't work pinch to zoom doesn't interfere in any way with easy app installation or easy files transfer, the

in the text area it was separated into paragraphs but oh well, I guess it pretends to be markdown formatted?

there's a bit of issue there: most of users don't feel the same pain, I think huge part of edge dev team uses edge daily despite it being basically unusable and they are happy and proud of that mess, the same goes for chrome, chro

anyone who tolerates laptops at all is not good at judging ergonomics and usability, they are only made so you can get the necessary minimum done when you can't access the main machine and it shows

win7 was aesthetically awful, but usability was almost on point but KDE is slightly better, at least in these aspects I care about, of course it looks disgusting, but you don't need third party tools to disable taskbar grouping and tha

iphone always was behind, basic things always were either convoluted or just impossible, ios is the most painful mobile os I ever encountered

yes, anyone who cares about looks would pick win10 pre-neon over mac, they would pick win8 over mac, they would pick win2000 over mac

the thing about iphone is: it didn't start the smartphone era like many say, it ended it suddenly people started desiring device as expensive as business models were that coul'd only do half of things their mainstream ones could s

it's simple, apple users want ugly and confusing UI while windows users want pretty and practical UI, bringing the apple one to windows will never work

I think having some people daily driving other systems may be beneficial, providing a fresh view but if majority of your lead designers never in their lives used the taskbar they are surprised when replacing it with a dock causes outcry

I want taskbar, not a dock, I also want it improved to disable grouping (who even thought that it was a good idea to be unable to put buttons in the order you want?) I want start screen (yes, I actively used full screen and yes, I made use

for self driving cars, ISS and digital cameras everything you do is blurry in a sense, "good enough" approximation is actually good enough while character encoding and transformations have to be done perfectly and precisely and ha

looking at available bindings I guess c++ is still the least terrible choice this or JS one yeah, I know, there are some py lovers but I can't stand this thing

Delphi was a pretty fun thing: nice IDE and nice language (would prefer c-style, but still c++ is much less friendly), but terrible licensing made it niche (VS had completely free, including commercial use Express edition + non-comercial Pr

I can use mac if I'm forced to do but my sanity is worth more than some extra money I can get doing so and seriously, using slow and noisy machine with poor multitasking and overall terrible UX WILL slow me down considerably, it's

tbh I'd use configurable installer: download only these assets you'll be using at worst case allow us to set up everything with full version installed and then cleanup
