The fact that hotels have started hiring escape room designers to hide their light switches seems related to the fact that UI designers turned scrollbars into the world's shittiest video games/hand-eye coordination tests.

@pluralistic we're all mad about the scrollbars. :)

I want fat scrollbars. Stop making scrollbars so thin. >:(

@Moosader @pluralistic Thin scrollbars? LUXURY. They now have scrollbars that disappear without a trace. The person who came up with that deserves to be subjected to Country Music for eternity.

I hate the rise of invisible UI elements that you have to hover your mouse over to see.

It is so annoying to try to tell students how to use VS Code's source control panel when the "..." button doesn't show up until you're over the Source Control bar - not that bar, the other Source Control bar.

Vscode source control panel is one of the worst UI things I have to use from time to time. (Just after the whole office365 suite)

Everything is under the ... Menu. I still did not understand how to add a remote. Rebase, cherry pick, stash, fixup... Good luck doing those without messing up something.

To my students I show them the interface and explain how to commit. And I'm then like, I'm sorry and can't really explain much more. I'll show you how to do things in the terminal, if you figure out how to do the same things with the UI you sure can do that.

I know, it is me, I should learn how to use it before I teach it. But really, it gets way too annoying that I much rather open up the terminal than have to go through all those submenus.
