If Apple wants to dick with the 2015 ports, ok, switch Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C. Leave the rest alone for God's sake.
My 2017 13" MacBook pro is the first Mac I've bought which I found quite disappointing (and I've been a Mac owner since 1994).
I'm much happier with my $400 Chromebook, which, while it has the USB-C-only problem too, has a real ESCAPE key, a micro-SD slot, a touchscreen (which I don't really use, but still...), screen folds flat 180Â and 360Â, great backlit keyboard, 2FA sign-in, still made of aluminum, but maybe 1/3 the weight, plus, if someone steals it, I can buy another and all my stuff comes right back.
Oh yeah, and it was 1/3 of the price.
Yes, of course it's not MacOS, but after living with ChromeOS, using it daily for a couple years, I'm going to the Mac for less and less stuff.
Photoshop is still and always the killer app for a Mac, though some online editors are starting to pick up on basic image editing. So I guess I'm stuck with this rich boat anchor for a while longer. If I had a way to get off it, I would. I can only dread what Apple's next round of "courage" will bring.
Stuff like this isn't an abuse. Hell, it isn't even a dark pattern.
THIS IS WHAT FACEBOOK WAS SET UP TO DO. IT'S SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTING ITS DESIGN.
The solution is to have nothing whatsoever to do with Facebook, to the extent that is possible.
Turn away from it, in the way you'd avoid a payday lender, a back-alley doctor, a furniture rental shop, or anyone else who has your ruin at heart, solely to advance their own interest.

Nice idea to think that clubs and schools could do something as audacious as launch a satellite, but Jeebus, SpaceX, NASA, Virgin Galactic, and everybody else are going to have to launch through a blanket of this space trash.
Doesn't make a lot of sense for us to continue on this path, given what we know about the amount of space junk out there already - at least not until we figure out how to de-orbit a bunch of this stuff whose creators didn't make any EoL plans for it.
Replying to my own post 'cause I posted the Environmental Working Group as a cite. Would gladly retract Parent post. Another Slashdotter has pointed out to me their non-very-good reputation.
Not saying anything at all about the science of its interaction with coral: have no expertise there.
The "active ingredients" being banned also degrade into end products that can mimic hormones, and/or promote skin cancer ( says the Environmental Working Group: https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/... ).
Better for you (and maybe for coral) are sunscreens with mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
And nobody needs sunscreen over 50SPF, no matter what the manufacturers say. At 50, you're already protecting yourself from the sun AND the moon ('cuz you have equivalent-hours protection for way more hours than the sun is up).
As someone who works specifying UI and interaction design, I'm thinking that whatever is missed in the front-end probably isn't directly reflective of, say, mitigation of security threats, backend performance, query efficiency, etc.
These things come from different team members or teams, on a modern project of scale in a big company.
It _could_ reflect a poorly-run project, or, more-likely at Google: an engineer-run project (not knocking engineers, but fonts aren't the first concern of most).
Another possibility (treading cautiously, as I haven't tried the app) is that the interaction designer is trying to indicate something visually, by the way the fonts are used ("this data is changeable", "this item is subordinate to it's parent in this view").
Since the critique I've seen is only of visual design aspects, it's hard to tell.
Would give it a spin, but I'm pretty stuck with Remember The Milk for tasks.
Nah, just haven't laid eyes on carbon paper in like, a decade. Probably stored in the back of the supply cabinet with the mimeo fluid and the tape for the ASR-33.

Seriously, this is so right.

"Keep Circulating the Tapes!"
Heh ... Missing less-than BLINK greater-than. Damn filters!
An essential tag for a retro site, though you could poorly simulate it with a GIF.
Damn, I gotta get some bees!

It's an Egg MacGuffin!
Can I get the Royale with Cheese?
No want.
That's what the "astronauts" who discovered it said.
And no, I don't work for Jeebus Aeronautics.

What, a screenshot of somebody's crappy Air B&B apartment?

Plain and simple: thanks for taking about this, both for the interest and the education.
I'm typically jokey here, but really: thanks, and good luck losing that thing.

Sorry, my Yankee-centricism is showing. Yeah, in .au of course it's different. Even the fucking house spiders are gunning for you...
Also, I completely retract my original post on account of citing EWG. Another poster made me dig deeper on them.
Thanks, you've made me smarter - have found critical coverage. Didn't even have to look at cell phone radiation.
Would delete original post if I could.

Wasn't there broad speculation from intelligence recently that their test facility had caved in, killing many?
Naw, dude, that's not carbon. Thought you were talking the real-deal here.
Nah, just haven't laid eyes on carbon paper in like, a decade. Probably stored in the back of the supply cabinet with the mimeo fluid and the tape for the ASR-33.
Carbon paper? WTF?!?
Did you for that post on an Olivetti and fax it in?
