Reminds me of grace lees excellent essay on how dystopian absurdity like this happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7O5bBHLnCo

Die Enterprise Version, die die ganzen nutzerfeindlichen Funktionen abschaltet, ist sowieso nicht mehr frei im Handel verfügbar. Recherchiere mal nach Windows Enterprise Activation Scripts.

This referenced Video is probably a better source. Changes start at 2:40

One week in NL and I'm wondering what we're even doing over here.

Also they're just visually bad. The bubbles have way too much spacing. The low-contrast blurry bubbles make everything feel cluttered. When expanding a group, you'll see the same app icon repeated 20 times, while the headlines are clipped. The typography doesn't feel right: headlines are too large, text styles on individual notifications are too similar and the line heights are too small. The scheduled summary was a nice idea, but again it's blurred background on blurred backgrounds. And if all of that wasn't cluttered enough, let's make everything overlap at bottom.

Apple is usually really good at this, I don't know what this particular design team was smoking.

Stimm dir ja voll zu, aber der Trend ist besorgniserregend. Piped ist jetzt schon der dritte Versuch (erinnert sich noch jemand an Hooktube oder Jasmine?).

Das wird alles immer nerviger, bis es sich nur noch wenige antun. Loosing battle.

Building abstractions and tools to reduce busy-work has been the goal of computer science since the moment we created assembly. The difficulty lies in finding methods that provide enough value for enough use-cases to outweigh the cost of learning, documenting, and maintaining them. Finding a solution that works for your narrow use-case is easy - every overly eager junior has done it. However, building solutions that truly advance CS takes time, effort, and many, many failures. I don't mean to discourage you, but always be aware of the cost of your abstraction. Sometimes, the busy work is actually better.

Ich hasse den Verlag ja genauso wie alle anderen, aber die Verwendung von KI ist vollkommen legitim. Wer schon mal damit gearbeitet hat, weiß, dass sie keine Wunder vollbringen kann. Die tatsächliche Denkarbeit und das Überprüfen der Ergebnisse muss immer noch von Menschen erledigt werden - nur eben schneller. Es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen Text, der leicht zu schreiben ist, und Text, der leicht zu lesen ist. AI kann hier als Brücke dienen.

Beispiel: Ich schreibe eine Mail an den Kundensupport: "Mein Schuh vom Modell ABC ist kaputt; Gekauft vor 1 Jahr; Bestellnummer 1234." ...drücke den magischen Knopf und erhalte eine ausformulierte E-Mail, die ich nur noch einmal überprüfen muss. Der Mitarbeiter vom Support hat dadurch keinen Nachteil - im Gegenteil, er muss sich nicht durch meinen Zeichensalat kämpfen.

Man könnte an die Reinheit, oder den inhärenten Wert der Sprache appellieren, aber das wäre genauso konservativ wie die meisten Bild-Leser.

So Apple is obviously an evil, profit seeking company that exploits users and developers, maintains a monopoly and actively hurts efforts towards openness.

But bro, what else am I gonna use? Do you think Google is any better.

And, as you already noticed, most open source alternatives suuuck. (Man, I'm gonna regret saying this on an FOSS community) With some research you'll get a usable desktop OS for some use-cases, but phones such as Fairphone and Purism are another story entirely. Don't even think about watches or tablets. I love the Purism Firefox demo, where they enthusiastically say: "With Settings unusable in Portrait, it's time to switch to landscape mode".

The "you think ... yet you buy ..." argument is pointless, because it ignores the realities of monopolies and globalism. I'm sure his T-Shirt that day wasn't made from ethically sourced cotton or whatever.

Na da kommt doch aber ordentlich bias rein, wenn du die Umfrage in einer auf einer obskuren, föderierten Platform von Technikfanatikern postest.
