This is not true, this change is a recent phenomenon, I believe it came into effect sometime around 2021-2023 (maybe earlier even). I believe it changed when OpenAI showed the value of data.

Before, there was no problem using Instagram or Twitter while not logged in. Now there is a dark pattern that forces you to create an account, or log in.

We all helped our families and loved ones to ditch MSN for Google Talk for Skype for WhatsApp for Discord etc.

It might happen again. :)

I have been bitten more than once thinking that my initial assumption was correct, diving deeper and deeper - only to realize I had to ascend and look outside of the rabbit hole to find the actual issue.

I would have appreciated seeing a <2 minute recording of it (GIF, animation, video etc.) to better understand what it is.

I like the logo, though!

I think part of the solution might be acceptance, that you can accept the situation and “forgive” the offender - which will relieve yourself of your feelings towards them, allowing yourself to let go and move on.

Does that make sense?

In Sweden it’s customary to get 25-40 days of vacation per year based on seniority, public vs private employers and other benefits.

You should be able to use Avalonia UI[1] as an alternative GUI layer on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.

There is a beautiful functional MVU wrapper around it called Avalonia.FuncUI[2] with Avalonia.FuncUI.Elmish[3] which is an implementation of Elmish[4] (based of the Elm language[4]) for F#.

I would point you to the excellent book “The Design of Everyday Things”, and “Don’t make me think”.

I read this book which helped me understand what it finally meant to think mathematically. Highly recommended, Keith is a fantastic lecturer.
