    Correction: Modern UX is all about breaking everything that made UX work

    With the rise of cross-platform tools like Elektron and similar even desktop applications are moving to not being usable. Instead of having an application that works as a desktop application should, you are being met with a website that have 10% of the functionality from previous versions, and with twice the resource consumption.

    I doubt that. If there is one thing that seems like a common thread with all these new services and IoT devices is that they have no idea what security is at all, or that ease of use and speed of idea to market takes more precedence. Security can always be added after an incident.

  3. That was my thought as well, but not likely.

    The gender is most probably not stored as a text string in their database, and even if it were, the search would need to know to look in the gender field in order to match it.

    They could store the gender as a tag on each image, together with other tags, but even then they would need to populate the tags with the gender implicitly from the data. Add to that that a substring search requires more processing than a word search (depending on the database and index functionality) it makes no sense to perform such a search when a complete word is enough. Of course, they could match the tags against known words and split them beforehand so female becomes fe- male, but probably not ;)

    I suspect it is as was mentioned in another thread. The glitch is that it became available to not only a select few.
    Btw, anyone tried if the glitch works in another language? If it works when searching in another language, then it's most probably not a substring search.
