flyout preview

Not sure if my terminology is correct, but it's just like how Wikipedia gives you previews if you rest your mouse on a link. Except it's for comments and URLs already marked as spam...

Yes. I don't like it there either.

Me neither; I disabled it after it started popping up. (Same with the new image viewer.)

Also something minor I noticed a while ago: the Windows start menu (at least in Win 7) isn't properly set up for having the taskbar on the side.
Note that the square corners are still on the bottom rather than on the left where they should be. Also the menu should probably be to the right of the start button rather than underneath it.

Righttaskbarian here. Can confirm. Menu also appears over the taskbar.
Same happens if you move it to the top of the screen btw, so really it's "the Windows start menu (at least in Win 7) isn't properly set up for having the taskbar
on the side.anywhere other than at the bottom".Edit: by "same" I mean the round corners, not the being on top of the taskbar. With the taskbar on top the menu aligns correctly with its bottom.

Something else: the avatar pops out of the frame when the taskbar is at the bottom but not when it's in any other corner.
Bottom:

That would make sense, if it weren't for the fact that there's always enough space above it.

@kazitor It's there for me!
Ok, I . Guess I should customize that shit out of there...

That doesn't very much look like Indiegogo...

I figured Indiegogo was referring to the browsers search bar.

But it said the search bar of the page, specifically. Not browser.
Edit: To emphasize:

Amazon Marketing Services website redesign! Now it uses 4x the amount of screen space and yet shows only 1/4 of the original amount of information! And they removed the counters showing impressions and clicks for each keyword, because lol why would anyone care about those when setting a cost-per-click bid?
Sometimes I wish we had a tech freeze around the year 2010. No new tech or software or UIs or anything after that point, because it's all been giant leaps away from usability and reliability.

This, a thousand times.
(Excluding hardware, some of that actually got better)

Imagine how many games wouldn't exist

You mean, like Call Of Duty 23, Call Of Duty modern warfare 12, Black Ops 8, NHL 2011-2019, NFL 2011-2019, etc

Firefox has difficulties with RTL

All the best ones would.
Edit: except Witcher 3, the best game ever. Okay, so it would be a huge price. But a price I'm willing to pay, if it means having sub-second webpage load times again.

@Gąska There wouldn't be Skyrim either.
Or Fallout 76!
-
@Gąska There wouldn't be Skyrim either.
Oh, right, right! I definitely want back to 2010. What other abominations wouldn't happen?
-
@Gąska Fortnite
Unfortunately Node.js would still exist.
-
@TimeBandit
You forgot FIFA 2020, Now with even more realistic faux pain!
-
@Luhmann fun fact: FIFA 98 had a dedicated button for simulating foul.
-
@Gąska It needed another button for giving a bribe to the referee.
-
@dkf it was included in Polish League expansion pack.

The German expansion to chant "we know where your car is" at the referee was omitted from the Polish version, for obvious reasons.

All the important ones would still exist, like Doom, Age of Empires, and Minecraft.

The brain geniuses at Google have massively improved the Gmail UI yet again by eliminating almost all the colour and replacing it with bright eye-searing white (perfect for OLED screens!):
Here's the old version:
-
@hungrier
Hey! They have a white boob!
-
bright eye-searing white
All the better for being seen from the orbital mind-control satellites!
-
@dkf It's the new hidden feature: Whenever you want to get someone's attention on the ISS, just open up your email inbox and hold your phone up above your head. If Chris Hadfield is looking out the window, he'll see it and probably play you a song on his guitar.
-

I wonder why phones haven’t moved to e-ink yet, now that all GUIs are back to monochrome.
-
@topspin Slow refresh.
-
@hungrier I like it!
-
@PleegWat Yeah, but that's because we've stopped trying.

Yeah, I think this is dumb too. The reasoning is that it'll have a dark mode and participate in system-wide dark mode settings eventually, but it just looks ugly.

The built in autocomplete for text boxes in FF (65 currently) is retarded. So, I start typing and it remembers what I've entered before and I get the drop down and one of them is selected. Super! I only had to type 3 characters of the 10 I needed!
ENTER
Instead of selecting the value that was selected, the enter key goes straight to the default action for the form with only what I've typed.
FUCK YOU FIREFOX

This is Steam's update notification dialog:
I had to fiddle with it a bunch as it blinked at me until finally it appeared on my taskbar and I could click on the taskbar button for it to make it display as normal. This is a fresh Windows 10 1809 installation, but it also acts weird on 1803...
-
@boomzilla Consider the alternative: you typed exactly what you wanted and just as you're hitting Enter the autocomplete suddenly triggers, so you end up submitting something else. :donotwant:
-
@Zecc The autocomplete shouldn't be filling anything until you've pressed up or down.

Tell that to Chrome!
And the flag that turns that off is highly unsupported (Paging I think @ben_lubar as he's the one that noticed it first).

Yes, that's awful, too. But pace @kazitor this is after I've used a down arrow to select the one I want. And to rub salt in the wound, I can see my selected value get set in the box, so everything feels good but apparently that happens after the form has been submitted.

It consistently decides my local unqualified hostnames are search terms.

@boomzilla That'd be on-page Javascript intercepting the Enter keypress and triggering the form submission for you. I have no idea why Firefox is letting JS see that keypress though.
