The former icon designer in me twitches when I see Linux distros that have Recycle Bin icon labeled as “Trash.”

Linux@programming.dev•Affinity for Linux? Canva's next big move could reshape the desktop software market
8·3 days agoYeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

362·3 days agoI really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.
I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.
Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.
I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.
I want a tiny bottle of green bean casserole extract, so I can make cookies that taste like green bean casserole.
20x Green bean casserole.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Reddit stock is down 4.42% over the past 3 months
34·4 days agoReddit isn’t alone. Any company that gets a lot of traffic from Google is feeling the impact.
Reddit YoY profit is quite strong, but daily active users is softer than expected. A lot of people suspect that they, like many other companies that depend on SEO for a chunk of users, are being impacted by LLMs.
Many questions that would normally get answered in Reddit start and end in GPT or Gemini / AI overview.

He’ll try do this until people eventually run out of gas.

politics @lemmy.world•Justice Department sues to block California US House map in clash that could tip control of Congress
10·17 days agoIt ain’t going to right it. It’s just going to make it less tipped toward the GOP.
The GOP is also like to gain 2-3 seats in Ohio, and 1 in Missouri with these shady midcycle redistricting efforts.
All in all, this BS will probably net the GOP 2-3 seats as it stands now.

politics @lemmy.world•Justice Department sues to block California US House map in clash that could tip control of Congress
7·17 days agoRace cannot be used as a proxy to advance political interests, but that is precisely what the California General Assembly did with Proposition 50 — the recent ballot initiative that junked California’s pre-existing electoral map in favor of a rush-job rejiggering of California’s congressional district lines
They’re going to try to prove this lie, despite CA saying that this was purely about political party power, not race. And the SCOTUS already said that horseshit is perfectly fine.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps AppEnglish
25·1 month agoOnce you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.
Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more
41·1 month agoA chunk of people still use it to provide a counter narrative to the right wing propagandists. Kind of like when Buttigieg or Newsom go on Fox News.
IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.
Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.
Ahh yes. The “put everything in a little pill” design trend.












Acktshually, that’s the Recycle Bin.
