oh me too. i checked out that adobe gripes tumblr, which doesn't seem to have been updated since 2015, but half of the illustrator bugs are still there and as i read them i'm like "lol i guess that is technically a bug. but it's just how illustrator works" every new one still makes me mad though. and changing up the interface is a new one every time.

hey, no, come on, our software isn't named after a slur for a person with physical disabilities! we aren't like that. our software is named after a bit from a quentin tarantino movie where a character is brutally raped! well, more specifically it's named after a certain type of sex slave that appears in that scene, but most people's awareness of the concept in popular culture would be -- hey, where are you going?

Plank Walker posted:idk if anyone here is familar with apple's two factor auth system, but if you log into like icloud on an unknown pc, it pops up a map on your phone telling you where the login request was made and you can accept to get a 6 digit code to punch in on the icloud website. the field for the 6 digit code is actually 6 1-character text boxes and the cursor advances after each digit input, goes back with backspace, and accepts upon entry of the last digit. it's all actually pretty nice this is partially dogshit in new zealand, as every single IP is geolocated as in auckland. my parents and wife's parents have asked me why someone is trying to login to their account in auckland, despite them not living there. its annoying its also kinda weird how sometimes you'll get the notification to approve the login on the same device you are trying to login on. eg, if you are logging into icloud.com in firefox on mac, and your mac is logged into icloud, then you will need to approve the ff login via macos but on balance its pee good vs other implementations

yeah gimp is a lot better than it used to, I don't know how well suited it is for professional work but it deserves some better reputation as for bad UX: hate it when dates in the past are presented like "13 days ago" or "2 months ago", maybe it's a fun intellectual exercise to implement that functionality but I'm not sure how it helps anyone. show me a real date plz at least some websites are reasonable enough to have the date as a label so you can get it by hovering. but it's still annoying and pointless

Like I said earlier a lot of them are hidden for no real reason, and obviously the UI is lovely.

GIMP should change its name to IMP. It would be way less cringey, and wouldn't change any text bounding boxes. They could even be GNU IMP if they wanted. I had the "no wait, it's just a bad name! come back" conversation 3 out of 3 times, and then stopped recommending it to people.

I was doing some heavy migration stuff last Fall, and every single goddamn page library I had to change the display date to normal and not "friendly" that is worse than my main annoyance with it, but it still drives me up the wall when "1 year ago" may mean 729 days ago.
