I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Big screens are for watching moves/shows and games and I guess work if that’s something you do. Phone for everything else because it’s freakin 2023 nerds.

Anybody who knows literally anything about design knows that optimal line length is around 15 words -- anything longer and it gets hard and frustrating to read (easy to lose your place, requires more concentration, etc). This is why print design has used columns for over a century. Look at any magazine layout, do they have the lines spanning the whole page? Stretching every line across the entire width of the available screen space is absolutely terrible design and I'm glad Wikipedia has FINALLY changed this

And they even kept a little button you can press to change it back if you're a dumbass

the empty space is a design choice to remind people that the wiki isn’t complete and there’s plenty of room for more articles

not everything has to have a soulless efficient design that sacrifices form for function, there’s room for both and that white space is literally that room made manifest

I didn't even know it changed, I've been using the Wikiwand extension for a while and I highly recommend it. It looks pretty slick and has several cool features like TTS, summaries, and options for layout/color configs, like changing the width of articles for example so more text occupies the screeen

I signed up for Norton'a security protection because Verisin texted me and said I had 42 complaints against my name. I got on Google server and asked for Norton's phone # and called them! I called the hacker!!! I gave him permission to get into my computer and by doing so gave him all my personal information!!! What is wrong with this world? Is everyone a dishonest piece of crape to get what we have worked so hard to enjoy life! ??? Who can you trust! Had to have my computer cleaned to remove all the virus and shut down all my banking information! What a pain!

I wonder if they did any a/b testing on desktop users.

Also didn't they join a campaign against whitespace energy consumption at one point? I guess that's over now.
