My bank also does this shit. It’s aggravating to use their website when every step along the way they put the burden of security on the user.

Pasting is disabled on almost every text field, even for things like account numbers (which they make you type in twice) when you want to do a transfer. The only way to log in is to manually type in your username, password, and a damn captcha everytime. The 6 digit 2FA code is the icing on the cake. If you idle for a minute or two, they log you out and force you to go through the whole thing again.

Same, I am yet to find a website notification that is actually useful to me.

I can’t believe they named their browser “Comodo Dragon” lol

I like USB-C especially when it clicks.

I feel this is partly caused by designers working with huge screens and forgetting that smaller screens exist.

For stuff like that, I always use this bookmarklet which instantly zaps any sticky elements.

There are also those headers that auto-hide when you scroll down, but pop back up at the slightest upward scroll, blocking the line at the top of the screen that you were trying to read.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers are made up. Just dark patterns to make it seem like the product is hot.

Though I’ve found it kinda interesting when websites show little messages like “Someone from country just bought item!”.

Literally why do news websites play some random unrelated video when I’m trying to read an article…

I used a shopping website today, where mousing over the header pops up a fullscreen navigation menu, and the only way to close it is to mouse over an empty part of the header. Made me do a lot of cursor gymnastics when trying to switch tabs while avoiding the damn menu.

Some websites like Behance try to ‘fix’ this by making the footer sticky, but their footer links are useless anyway. It just wastes more screen space along with the sticky header.

Agreed. So many websites want you to sign up for their newsletter before you’ve even read the first line of text.

For me it’s Google search’s tab order. They always switch up the tabs for web, images, videos, etc. depending on what you search for. It makes the experience very unpredictable and annoying.

Recently they’ve also started putting related searches next to the tabs 🤦

It’s a good UX improvement imo. Previously it just didn’t show unavailable apps, leading people to install fake clones.

“Are you always this quiet?”

“It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people.”

I’ve found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.

There is a GitHub issue about it. Looks like the endpoint could be added if someone is willing to work on it.

This is a great YSK and a great website. Ever since learning about the granny knot, I’ve noticed that many people around me do it unknowingly.

I’m interested in seeing how the enshittification of Threads will unfold. It’s all super neat and cozy right now with a clean UI, no ads, not many sign up nags, and such. When they build up their userbase, we’ll see how the platform devolves.

I turned off my activity history, and I’ve noticed a needlessly degraded experience on some Google apps, like in Maps where it no longer labels your home location as “Home”, but it’s a saved location anyway.

Not surprisingly, it does all the data tracking that it can for a “text-based conversation app”.
