Tangentially, at best. Mostly, it's just about a cat fight. hssssss

Are you guys tired of "Material You" design? in c/[email protected]

I don't claim to know ui design. I've created a few icons here and there and it wasn't hard. Anyway, no need to continue to belabor the point.

True, which is why I said prioritize. If I have no other option, I have no other option. Some of my open source, small project apps have already made icons available. I really have a hard time understanding why a big (or even small) business is so resistant to it other than they want to train the customer as opposed to listening to consumers' minimal requests.

As it is now, apps without the material you theming go on my second "page". Only apps with material you go on my main screen.

Maybe one of the families will have something tangible for a funeral/memorial service. Some folks need that sort of thing to make it easier to grieve and eventually move on.

It doesn’t really matter if the user “likes” it because it’s pretty.

I prioritize apps that have the option. If companies want me to choose their app over another, they'll offer it.

I have no problem identifying the app I want to use. My apps are alphabetized. Easy peasy.

Do you prefer using feed reader/browser instead of apps for lemmy? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, primarily because I basically live at my computer and in my browser. I'm not a heavy phone user and find reading on the phone a struggle due to my eyesight.

As someone of a certain age, this just reminds me of the BBS days. lol

Edit: Without the dial-up, thankfully. ;)

The dynamic theming is a bit of a branding nightmare.

Probably one of the reasons I like it. Big red company icon next to the big black company icon next to the big pink company icon. Nah, I'll take the uniform design, please.

I love it. Personal preference, of course. :)

Supreme Court denies state legislatures the unchecked power to set election rules in c/[email protected]

Conservative states will just stack their Supreme Courts. Not to say that this isn't an important, and welcomed, decision. Any impediment is a good impediment when we're talking about authoritarianism. I'm just cynical.
