I brought my old 2012 MacBook air back with MATE instead of an old OSX version - same perf benefits and no half-measure security patch malarkey.
The little animation applied to paragraphs and other page elements here is cute, but in the bad UX kind of way. Is there a way to disable it?
Thanks, you're not the first to complain about them. I might get rid of them. But, they make the site feel playful, which was a key design goal for me.
They'll go away if you disable Javascript.
Edit: ...the animations are gone at least for now while I think about what to do with them.
Any site, especially with a good article that I want to read, I just hit the Reader mode the moment it does anything weird, such as any form of movement or uses bad and undisciplined Typography.
I feel like Pop OS with Toshy covers enough of the macOS-feel for me to be happy, since most software I use is cross-platform.
