Bad things
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Web browsers
|
|
------------

https://drewdevault.com/2020/08/13/Web-browsers-need-to-stop.html
|
|
|
|
Scrap it all, start anew. Content goes first, presentation second. Don't allow
|
|
for the inverse to happen. I'm not interested in anyone's animations and gray
|
|
font.
|
|
|
|
GNOME 3
|
|
-------
|
|
Removing features, worsening accessibility, making the UI incomprehensible,
|
|
piling up laughable levels of complexity, politically driven development,
|
|
everything is wrong here.
|
|
|
|
KDE
|
|
---
|
|
KDE will always be hideously ugly, it's the one constant in the universe.
|
|
|
|
Unix terminals
|
|
--------------
|
|
Barely tolerable with graphical displays. The character grid must go, not only
|
|
because variable pitch fonts are infinitely more pleasant to read.
|
|
|
|
The only redeeming quality is how well these work over slow links.
|
|
|
|
ASCII
|
|
-----
|
|
Outdated, made for teletypes. Unicode mostly just adds more complexity (and
|
|
characters). For sanity reasons, I'll put up with it and try to avoid the parts
|
|
I don't like, perhaps even banning certain characters where possible.
|
|
|
|
Centralisation
|
|
--------------
|
|
Try to build things so that they survive outages--resilient, robust, and even
|
|
anti-fragile. Admittably, this principle is hard for humans to follow.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of which, project Haven has no public mirrors yet. Not that it matters
|
|
thus far... but eventually we should at least set up mirrorring to repo.or.cz,
|
|
which is local.
