Somebody needs to be killed for the Google Maps API.

Not sacked, killed.

I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

Well derrrrrrrrrrrr.......

"I went to the New York Times to glimpse at four headlines and was greeted with 422 network requests and 49 megabytes of data. It took two minutes before the page settled. And then you wonder why every sane tech person has an adblocker installed on systems of all their loved ones."

something to freak out the zoomers with - from about 1950 through to somewhere in the 2000s, video and audio were ALWAYS IN SYNC except for accidents

There is absolutely no way The Rise Of The Machines would last more than about 7 minutes.

Not a chance.

Modern UX is so trash across the board. I shouldn't have this much trouble figuring out where I can safely click on a window's title bar to focus it now that title bars are stuffed with buttons, or to discover what fields in a view are scrollable now that scroll bars are verboten, or to even tell what on a view is clickable or not since styling makes links look like normal text and buttons look like anything but buttons (or even makes active buttons look disabled). Don't even get me started on the mobile "where do I need to hold, double tap, drag, or swipe to do what I want to do" mystery box.

Not a fan of any Windows version, but circa Windows 98, at least you could look at a view and know exactly what you could interact with and how. Now Windows, MacOS, and GTK/Gnome all do the same confusing crap in the name of "minimalism" at the cost of usability and discoverability.

The new version of Chrome is bad beyond all belief. Here is a site with all the Linux deb versions.

Download your current Chrome now. I think I'm finally moving back to Firefox for work usage.
