Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

User Interface.
Two examples:
• Simple vs. Easy: Taking away all the buttons and menus makes the software (look) simpler, but having those where I can get to them and use them is easier. Easier still: keyboard shortcuts for everything! Not as simple, but way easier.
• Save, Save As, and Undo: Save needs to go away. It’s unnatural. You don’t save in the real world. Any change just stays. If you want it different, you undo the change. Undo needs to be near infinite. Save As can stick around since sometimes you want to branch your progress.
Save is also going away for most thinks, so I think you're actually a little ahead of our time with that.
Yes, thankfully. Unfortunately, it’s rarely accompanied by (nearly) infinite undo.
