  • People spend lots of money to buy big screens, only for apps/websites to use a fraction of it.

    I cannot control how every application or website I have to use looks, but where I can, I try to find solutions.

    When I am occasionally on reddit, I use old.reddit. I use addons for youtube, to remove unecessary stuff, or open videos directly in mpv.

    I use reader mode to make many sites easier to navigate.

    Mastodon and Lemmy have a much better design than Twitter or new Reddit.

    On the one windows machine I still have, I use the classic shell, to replace the start menu with something more usable.

    I use Libreoffice, and many other Software with sane functional UI.

    I don’t want to use old software, because the older software gets, the more hostile the environment becomes for it.

    A lot of UI decisions on the Internet seem driven by the need to create empty spaces to put advertising into, and with adblocker it looks just bad.
