Now put yourself in the place of someone who knows what they want to say but now how to say it -- non-native speaker, not experienced in writing or structuring their thoughts, dyslexic, whatever the issue may be.

I would suggest AI can be a bicycle for the mind. Railing against it like this is like insisting cover letters for job applications need to be hand-written.

This is obviously more a risk in the US than in Europe.

Oh look, it's another one of those.

I have no issues using a QWERTY keyboard, but I'll always prefer a (Belgian, not French) AZERTY keyboard to anything else. Even when coding.

Nothing is ever going to get my brain to reprogram 45 years of muscle memory.

What is the purpose of the moving banners?

What are recs? What is AnyRecs?

"AnyRecs Logo / Sign in with Google / made with love in France" is not what I call very informative. I will not sign in to something I have this little information about.

I used to appreciate her. Until I realised she just always takes the contrarian view and expresses it in a needlessly undiplomatic and cynical way.

There's not a chance in hell I'm trusting image hosting to a company that could go under in a couple of weeks or months.

It's not a pathetic reason. I'm 100% on Mullenweg's side here. The DNA of WordPress is to keep revisions of everything.

You may not care about the history of your website, many people do.

Some UX feedback:

- I click the link and see an image and a slogan. I can't click on anything and it's not immediately clear I need to scroll down to enter data.

- The date picker is not intuitive. Take a look at other sites that allow you to choose a start and end date: you allow start and end dates in the past, an end date before a start date, etc.

- I'm on your website to find out where I can go but I can't proceed without telling you where I cant to go. Perhaps ask me where I am now? Or give some general options?

- Once I get a result (I searched for Belgium from April 2024 to January 2024) I can't go back to the form. It's not a good idea to disable the back button.

Well, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Israel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_United_States_for... etc.

Does the existence of these Wikipedia articles now mean that I can call any information put out by Israel or the United States "biased content" and just disregard it?

If you feel you need to go back that far it's perhaps a good idea to compare the way Jews and Christians were treated in Muslim countries with the way Jews were treated in Europe.

...where he is accused of having "helped bring about the state of affairs in the academy that [he is] now lamenting — in which woke ideology subverts all that they deem precious in the academy and science".

> No lonely text box, nor a bloated Gutenberg editor in sight. Just a simple WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor so you can write to your heart's content

Have written daily for the last 20+ years. At this point I refuse to use any CMS that doesn't have an editor that is not at least as good as Gutenberg.

What WYSIWYG editor do you use?

_Edit_: it's Suneditor. Not my idea of a good editor, and I don't really like the default font either -- see https://imgur.com/TNT44Bp

It might seem far-fetched but the theory is not based on speculation. It's supported by a substantial body of scientific evidence.

"Ask an AI for the best strategy to follow" seems to work.

Dunning-Kruger effect in full force there my good person.

Gutenberg.

Asking for e-mail and name up front is going to scare a lot of people away. Better to show more of the thing you're giving them first, and only then ask for their data.

He'll be warmly welcomed at X.

You said the quiet part out loud. I think you're supposed to be a little less obvious at trolling.

I think a sparkline bar chart would be more useful.

I admire the absolute confidence here. I find it baffling, but still.

Is there a way to actually pay yet?

Oh it's this thread again.

Three monitors turned black. Had to task manager out of it.

Only available for Apple. Not interested.

Stuck in the "Micro$haft Winblows" era. Off-putting.

I feel the pain.

"As the comments/votes started coming in, I became frustrated at how unrepresentative of the general public the people voting were. It was a very small group of editors, potentially making a decision for billions of readers. It was also unclear if the people who were voting had participated in past discussions, and/or had taken the time to read through the project documentation, research results, data, etc. It seemed like we were getting a lot of first reactions (as it turned out, only ~28 of the 159 people opposing the new interface had previously engaged in discussions, feedback, etc.). There was a lot of arguing about white space and icons, and people saying they simply didn't like it, rather than discussions of user needs and/or key metrics.

The volunteer communities are generally very change-averse (in some ways for good reason), and changes developed by the Wikimedia Foundation can be particularly challenging to get acceptance for. However I was still left feeling a bit weirdly about the vote. Did we just get lucky? Did all of the previous interactions we had with volunteers actually build support? Did all of the feedback we incorporated lead to a better design? And why do people think whitespace is an indication of a failed design (like holy shit, some people hate it so much)?"

I'm confident this comment section will be the same as it has always been. The 0.01% complaining that they liked it better before.
