@Vivaldi Blocking autoplay videos. Does it block downloading them too? I imagine yes.

@carnage4life How about an article that repeats things that celebrities post on social media?

I've been using LLMs like #ChatGPT before they were hot. Here are two things I do to not make a fool out of myself:

- I have a sticky note saying "this thing hallucinates" within my visual spectrum. This helps me calibrate reliance

- anything it creates is, at best, P-creative, not H-creative. Helps me calm down when I see something exciting. (H-creative is a thought that no one ever thought of. P-creative is localized to the individual)

@lanodan Some interfaces still have it hidden, but some now do the thing where you have to tap the letter, it shows the whole alphabet in a grid, and then you have to tap the letter you want.

@lanodan @BalooUriza Yes, I agree. There used to be some scroll interfaces on phones where you could get a big handlebar to touch and drag so you could go down the whole list with one swipe. *sigh* Apple ruined human computer interaction efficiency, huh?

@BalooUriza OMG, I hate hidden scrollbars! Not everyone uses a touchscreen for everything.

@ManjaroARM @PINE64 Ah! You're right! A full power cycle brought it back. I must have been rebooting. Phew! Thanks! I thought I was going to have to take it apart and re-flash.

@ManjaroARM
@PINE64 It works fine everytime I boot into Armbian. Ah, maybe I was rebooting Manjaro instead of fully shutting down. Will try..

@haeckerfelix It's almost like arguing with a flat-earther. :D Ha!

@amerika Yeah, I wish I could find an article I did predicting the smartphone app boom, but it's nowhere on the web archive and I never saved it offline. :-\

@gugus2000@framapiaf.org @thunderbird The nice thing about email is that anyone can make a different interface for the clients. What I did was write an article describing a chat style interface and 5 years later there are about a half dozen clients like that.

@thunderbird@mastodon.onlineThat being said, the "..." icon already has a proper and recognizable name in many languages. It's called an ellipsis. The ellipsis normally indicates an omission of words in normal language so it makes a lot of sense to use at the end of a toolbar or menu to indicate an omission of extra commands that couldn't fit. This is much more sensible than making up unintelligible icons like the hamburger button.

@thunderbird Describing a button as "Meatball" is an insult to the designers' inability to create a button that accurately describes its function. If you can't create a user interface who's buttons are easy to understand then that interface is not easy to understand and therefore not intuitive.

Not going to lie, Twitter killing off free API access hits me in the feels. I remember with great affection the flood of creativity that happened after we opened up the API, and it's sad to see that unceremoniously strangled.

I'm relieved that we've got better alternatives, though. While this is perhaps the final straw for many bots on Twitter, it's been a long time coming and the API has long been hobbled compared to the early days. Open protocols or bust. ✊
