Because it’s about shit that can’t be proven wrong to an audience that has been raised to believe in a big Sky Daddy of some variety or another. IMHO, raising children to believe in whatever religion predisposes them to believe all sorts of groundless bullshit told to them by their leaders, which is why those prone to controlling others like to push religion so hard.

Why stop at just one? Someday soon I’m sure they’ll gleefully tell you that Windows couldn’t format your USB thumb drive, so they reset your browser.

Like I said, whatever it is you need to tell yourself.

Like most all arguments with you disingenuous Reich-whiners, this BS has become repetitively circular and therefore pointless. You’re not making any valid points, but instead just repeating the same already disproven BS again and again in hopes that if you say it enough other people will begin to believe it’s true from having heard it repeatedly. Intelligent people such as myself know better, so I’m done bothering with you.

Consider yourself blocked. Good night.

See my other reply. The talking to yourself is a sign that you should seek help, too.

Nazi was not used as an anti-Jewish term - you decided to take it that way, making you the racist. Nazis were about more than just anti-semitism.

RE the racism bullshit claim, I have told you the truth on that. That you refuse to acknowledge that your support of shitty humans is the real problem here doesn’t change the truth, and is typical of those who act like you. Lame attempts to deflect blame are still lame.

EDIT: sorry, I didn’t notice someone else jumped in. I’ve stricken the non applicable parts for you.

AKA just an atheist. You can try to justify your crap all you want. Regardless of whether that’s considered a valid definition (IMHO it’s not, or every country would have it’s own race by that logic since they primarily breed with their fellow countrymen), I couldn’t care less about race. You’re a POS for feeling empathy for other POS people.

If you sleep with the dogs, you wake up with fleas.

If that’s what you need to tell yourself to get through the day without having to face yourself in the mirror. It’s actually kinda amusing because you’re the one who played the “Jewish” card first, and “Jewish” is a faith/religion, not a race.

But you go ahead and keep on playing yourself.

Nothing to do with race, everything to do with your empathy for pieces of shit humans.

Jews can be Nazis, too - go ask your dear pal “Bibi.”

I’m glad you recognize what you’ve become part of. It’s a step in the Reich direction.

No need - you’re doing it for them. Wish I could be a fly on the wall at the inevitable moment your hypocritical “perspectives” come back to bite you in the ass something fierce. I’m quite certain it will be about as amusing as when it happened to Kirk.

AFAIK Graphene is Pixel-only (and only those still currently supported by GOOG), and I’m given to understand eOS is insecure AF. Add in locked-down bootloaders having become so common, there needs to be a better answer.

Yeah, give a date you’ll remember that isn’t related to anything personal to you and yours. Something like April Fools, May the Fourth be with you, etc.

“Good” is in the eye of the beholder. Have you considered that the quality hasn’t changed much, but instead you’ve become more discerning as you age? I certainly have far less tolerance for the stupid shit I used to think was funny long ago.

They’re not up on the counter, so reasonably well-behaved for cats.

Agreed, and that’s what’s frustrating the shit out of me over where things have been going for several years now.

I’m aware why it happens, but if even you are aware then that means you know what I’ve said is true. As such, it seems you also should know that you’re not designing for the best interface, but just the one that the largest proportion of the masses are able to use well enough to win out over alternatives in a quest for market domination. Dumbed-down wins in the numbers game, but isn’t necessarily the “best” interface.

Another part in the numbers game is cost. As someone reminded me recently, the “best” solutions rarely win over ones that are “good enough,” but cost the end users less. Technology’s history is veritably littered with superior options that lost out against their competition because of such cost differences. This is part of how Android became so dominant over the objectively much easier to use (earlier in, anyway - things have since improved somewhat) iOS. Google included almost everything one might need for free - all you had to pay was your privacy.

I get the gist. I’ll use myself as an example in an attempt to make my point. I hate, Hate, HATE the very reduction of “complication” you’re referring to. Dumbed-down interfaces that contain no “unnecessary information” drive me nuts. What’s unimportant information to you may be important to me.

By all means, design for the “most common use cases,” but the buck stops right there FAR too often anymore. There’s minimal, if any, customizability, alternate layouts that are more information-dense, or just any accommodation for those that didn’t fit that most common use case. It’s dumbing things down for those who don’t want to learn anything, or use their device to it’s fullest capabilities, and those of us who prefer to use our brain just get ignored and have to suffer.

I get the desire to make things approachable for non-technical people, but if that’s all that ever happens then they’ll never learn anything more advanced than that. So our society gets more and more coddled, and incapable of doing things for themselves - making them all the more dependent upon the tech oligarchs, which is, of course, more profitable for them and more power handed over to them.

No thanks.

Yes, as it has been for decades. I also learned some about it back in the early days of the '80s into the '90s. It’s constantly evolving along with the tech (and the capabilities of the current majority of users), so there’s never been much of an absolute set of standards that have withstood the test of time. Again, there are a wide variety of people in the world - all with their own perspectives and ways of doing things. As such, the goal of a universally intuitive interface - while laudable - is a bit of a quixotic pursuit, IMHO. At least until it fully resembles & interacts like real-world objects & beings, anyway.

ETA: They’re more likely eventually going to settle upon a set of standards that is based upon what users have collectively already been forced to learn from using existing interfaces. Once the vast majority of the world’s population is used to and on board with the same way of doing things, that will likely become the “standard” by default. For example, a growing number of people today are only comfortable using their phone, and have never really learned how to use a computer with a similar level of comfort. It will likely remain that way until some new major “paradigm shift” in tech happens (like the shift from PCs to phones) that starts the process anew.

I don’t doubt that, but courses are selected/designed by their teachers - who likely select what fits their pre-existing biases. Virtually nothing humans do comes out without biases affecting things, which is what makes the “reproducibility” of studies such an important part of science - and even those reproductions need to be done numerous times by varying parties for the results to truly start to become trustworthy.

In short: there’s no pleasing everybody, but if you’re going to try then you must allow for differences in views and modus operandi.
