I assumed that would be the first to get removed so have ignored it.
My only real beef is fixed by compact mode anyway.

That link you posted did say that. But I can enjoy my

I just checked, mine was set to compact mode already because I had that before. However, now it says something like "Compact (not supported)".

UI nibble: Observe what the text on the new Firefox tabs does on hover...
I have no idea how you'd ever get to a point where this happens, but I'm sure it's an unintended consequence of rendering your UI through 3000 layers of abstractions.E: Um, apparently that video format isn't supported?! ...

Also the thing we're seeing and that I hadn't noticed before so thanks for that is probably due to how the hover effect is done via adding a semi-transparent whitish rectangle on top of the tab.
It's just mixing more white to the already fading text at the end of the tab.

Anyway, here's WebM.

Also also, pareidolia is a funny thing. Those random characters at the end of your filename, 1623406596360-bildschirmaufnahme.mov, almost look like German

It's just mixing more white to the already fading text at the end of the tab.I was thinking of something like that, but that would add more fading to all of the text (which would probably look even uglier), not just the part that is already faded.

Not strictly about UI, maybe more UX, but anyway something that annoys me every time.
I (and probably more or less everyone else in France) has an account on the social security website. The login is the SSN, which isn't great usability as that number is 13 digits (or 15 if including the checksum although usually forms that ask for that number don't include it... which kind of makes it pointless to have them if you don't use them, but here you go). They could at least allow what everyone does e.g. an email address (which you need anyway to register so that they can send you validation emails and the like), but no, it's the full SSN.
(as an aside, even though you don't have to enter it often, the SSN is actually very easy to remember if you know how it's made. First digit is 1 or 2 for sex registered at birth, then 2 digits for year of birth (yes, yes, there may be collisions for 100 yo people), 2 digits for months, 2 digits for department of birth (or 99 for "outside of France"), 3 digits for commune of birth (the only catch here is that those digits don't match the postal code so it's essentially random) and 3 digits that are just sequentially increased with births in that commune (so basically how soon you were born in the month, but again essentially random). Plus a 2 digits checksum that, as I said, is almost never used. So you just have to remember the last 6 (or 8), the rest can be deduced easily. Anyway, back to my story.)
Now there is a subsite of the main social security website, which covers your medical records (the main site has stuff like payment info while the subsite only has medical records and is accessible by all health professionals and in particular emergency services). It's clearly linked to/from that main website, managed by the same entity and so on.
But it requires a different login/password from the main one. And more than that, the login is a random 8 chars ID (4 letters + 4 digits in my case, which seems a bit too regular to be just chance so I'll assume it's the same for everyone), something that you have absolutely no chance of ever being able to remember. Why? Why? Why?

Describes most, if not all, government IT (and a big chunk of private sector IT, too).

Medical records sites shouldn't be making people fat!

I used to know the 26-character hexadecimal WEP key for my first router. I also remember my 26-digit Polish bank account number even though I've had to write it only a few times in my life. I realize I have a great advantage over average human thanks to being autistic, but random 4 letters followed by random 4 digits doesn't seem that impossible.

I used to remember every single door code I'd ever seen anyone enter. Kinda useless when they started updating them every few years or more often. As I've gotten older, my memory has gotten more shit, so these days I don't remember any of them any longer. I do still remember the first password I had for my first internet connection, sometime in the early to mid nineties.
And my NMT cell number.
Random shit sticks i my head, but not birthdays and irrelevant stuff like that. I was like 10-11 years old when I finally memorized the date of my birthday. I still only know mine and my brothers. Girlfriends tend to not like that bit. I do remember the date of christmas too. But that one is pretty fucking hard to not have hammered in.I guess I should stop babbling in the UI thread.

Update: turns out I still remember it.

@Applied-Mediocrity as much as a WEP-only WiFi router can work.

Why? Why? Why?
If things were simple and logical, we wouldn't need so many public servants. Is it your first day in France?

Good thing I have that backed up here in the forum!
Edit: I was almost correct, actually. Just transposed the second and third characters.

National waffle day is the most Swedish thing there is.
In Swedish, the word for Our Lady’s Day is Vårfrudagen. When said quickly, the word Vårfrudagen sounds like våffeldagen, which is the Swedish word for waffle. For this reason, Swedes are known for eating waffles on the Feast of Annunciation.
It's become a national pastry day because of sloppy pronunciation and swedes fondness of pastries. Also, pretty much no one celebrates the christian day, but a lot of people celebrate (as much as swedes celebrate anything that doesn't involve eating pork and spoiled fish while getting shitfaced) waffle day.
We also have a day for cinnamon rolls, ostkaka and the fine old semla. Among others.

Writing the date in unary is cheating.

Are you in favour of a tally ban?

- Including a duster and a brush. Not sure if related to a sponge.

Presumably not available online.

Probably has sponge in the description. 🤔
- Order: low price to high price. Get an item for ~$13, $14, $4, $15, $16, $4, ...
Price includes shipping, sort order is base price. It's a common thing.

@Tsaukpaetra I don't think Walmart includes price+shipping or anything like that on their in-store items, which I've specifically filtered on*. The brush and duster don't have the word sponge anywhere on their product page, aside from the "Purchased by other customers" section that may include sponges and other things. And the makeup sponge that's unavailable is just flat out not available at all - no price, no reviews, everything grayed out:
* Side note: I haven't done any market research, but I would bet that roughly 0.0% of people searching for products on walmart.ca are looking for an online marketplace, rather than, say, what's available at their local store or even Walmart's own online offerings. It should be an option (if it's offered at all) to include that bullshit, rather than having it be the default.
-
@Tsaukpaetra On the other hand, you're actually on to something with regard to online pricing, and it is once again Walmart (and their moronic idea of trying to compete with Amazon and Ebay) that's retarded:
Sure, that sounds like a fantastic idea, who wouldn't want to pay 6x the price and wait for a month for a sponge, rather than walking into the store and buying it? That's obviously the right thing that everyone wants to do, and should take precedence over the actual price of the thing when sorting by price.
-
On the other hand, upon visiting walmart.com, it immediately redirected me to this page...

Will you please stop making so much sense? You're the kind of person who prevents executives from getting bonuses.

I mean, since you asked how many things are wrong with the results, I'd include that the 3-pack of sponges for $4 is already way too high.
So off I went to get some comparison prices and was treated with, well, just as much of
results:
That's not the sponges I was looking for. (The stupid banner floating in the middle is an artifact of Firefox's screenshot tool, doesn't look like that otherwise).
Okay, let's check google images and go from there... Apparently the product I'm looking for has "Topfreiniger" in the name. Now trying that search again but from their page instead of Google leads to no better results:For fucks sake.
Anyways, here's what the intended results look like on their Swiss site, which apparently works better:
That's 0.89 CHF for a pack of six sponges, including taxes.
