They've made Tahoe available on some older Intel hardware, and in my case it rendered my MacBook Pro barely usable. Obvious planned obsolescence in this case convinced me to fully jump ship.

I've loaded an example document and do not see what you mean when navigating between pages. A problem like that should be extremely jarring and it is very hard to believe it would be ignored.


> A problem like that should be extremely jarring

Agreed - I don't see how its not glaringly obvious to anyone who uses the app:

Came with receipts lol - hopefully they can repro and fix this but the fact it as omitted for 8 months kind of hints at how little people are using it.

Yeah you can really see the resize comparing the before and after. https://jpst.it/4KgSB


Wow you're right. I've tried again with the same wireframing kit and it happened to me too! That's unbelievable.


Unrelated but imgur is basically malware at this point. I had to click through so many layers of nagging popups (including a “don’t support us” button, then a severely low-contrast “view in safari” button on a dialog explicitly designed to get me to accidentally click the app link), then when I finally got to your picture, any sort of interaction with the page whatsoever, including pinch-zooming to see the image, just took me away to a different page altogether.

I sincerely hate imgur and hope the whole site goes bankrupt, and I can’t stand it when anyone links to them.


Yeah, imgur had very simple & humble origins and fostered a surprisingly active, reddit-like community (though I'm sure imgurians would resent that particular comparison), and then holy shit it just turned into a bizarrely bloated overstuffed hodgepodge of fire-garbage. I just looked at the homepage for the first time in forever and—wait, what? "Arcade"?

Bleh.


Can you suggest a low-effort alternative I can use in future?



Yeah can't see that lasting. I wish someone would make one with limited adverts that just pays for the hosting and moderation costs. How hard can it be?


I mean nothing is guaranteed to last in the future, but catbox.moe has been around for like a decade already.

Here's a comparison of alternatives


I didn’t experience any of that, using an iPad. There were ads above and to the right of the OP video, but it displayed the video with no popups.


I'm glad that at times like these, I switched to Brave browser on all of my platforms (desktop and mobile). I can't recommend it enough.


Also it's not accessible in the UK without workarounds that I'm not going to bother with for that dumpster fire of a site.


strange, I got no pop ups at all


Genuinely asking - what's the issue? I don't see it.


I click to navigate to the "Examples" page (I am gesturing with my mouse to circle around a bit I want you to look at). Then i navigate to "Main components", and back to "Examples" and the content in that area has changed. For example, the button has changed to half the original width.


It's that very bottom button you're referring to, right?


Thats the one I specifically mention, sure, but there are many more changes to the page overall if you compare the before and after.


Wow this is perfect timing! I've dusted out my old Valve Index tuesday so my kids could try The Lab. It now shows a green pixels line on the right. Also the headset is too heavy for them and not easy to adjust, and I had to hold the cable so they don't trip over it. This new headset will be perfect for them.


It is way more readable with CSS, I don't know what you're all on about.

The font is bigger, the lines are shorter, the navigation doesn't take half the page. The only thing worse would be the contrast but it's not that bad.


On mobile it's actually super readable and lines are a perfect length, and having to scroll past the top navigation doesn't affect readability much


The top navigation definitely put me off, I immediately came back without even scrolling down.


Most things can be solved with Gnome Shell extensions, but I have to admit that having to install 5-6 extensions for basic DE features, like managing where notifications show up, makes it easier to switch to something else.


Problem is exacerbated when your GNOME Shell gets updated and takes out all your extensions.


Or your extensions take out GNOME


Even then, Gnome updates regularly require massive updates to those extensions... Pop used to just do that in the box, but felt just having an entirely separate DE they control would be a better long run experience.


Most things, yes. The things I mentioned, no.


There really isn't even if you don't need all the bells and whistles. I want my email client to be as simple and minimal as possible and Thunderbird seemed like the last candidate for this. Surprisingly it's the only one I could theme and strip down enough to meet my need.


Plain and simple is why I like macMail but it's a bit too simple and really mostly useful if you use iCloud email primarily.

macMail is _okay_ with fastmail


Pronouncing it like that would invite confusion as the word ping is often used in messaging.


let's propose PENJ to avoid the confusion.


I have an old fire tv and never tried to stop automatic updates on it, it has become so slow and unresponsive that I'm barely able to switch inputs to use something else. Netflix is the only app that still works on that tv.


I also have an old TV and guess what? Netflix stopped working last year. The application is not supported anymore. Beats me why.


Often it’s CA certificates expiring. My old Toshiba had app rot set in like that, where after about 5 years none of the built in apps worked any more and the errors appeared to be TLS related. I suspect that was due to pinned certs to prevent MITM pirating.


Everything about Office 365 (now called Microsoft 365 for some reason) is extremely confusing to me. It's not just Outlook, there's like 3 versions of the other apps as well.


I wish the author of the site didn't see your comment. It took me a while to understand why I couldn't see it on any browser.


Time for the author to add a CSS VISIBILITY note for those with this preference alerting them to a non working page because their browser has this selected option
