Posted to Uber's Undoing Part III: Redemption, Oct 24, 2018 In what way is Criticism meant to be impartial? Isn't the whole point of being a critic being able to state your opinions about things? Isn't hearing the critic's point of view the point of reading a critique?
I genuinely think you have it backwards.
Posted to Is it just me, or the dark theme on Mojave really sucks?, in reply to Tiago Franco , Oct 01, 2018 He's talking about the new little preview window, not the keyboard shortcut. That part is new, and it is AMAZINGLY NICE.
Posted to Please add a "Tools" badge option to DN, in reply to Daniel Golden , Sep 12, 2018 I totally agree, actually. I have them blocked in Adblocker and it really cleans the site up for me, and makes it easier to focus on the content.
The badges were nice when there was 1-2 per page, and the badges actually told you something. Now that there are a half dozen categories and 2/3rds of all posts have one, it looks very cluttered.
What does the community manager think? @SpenserWolz
Posted to "global village coffeehouse," the 90s aesthetic we all forgot about, in reply to Mikael Staer , Sep 07, 2018 Me too! It felt too much like clip art to me
Posted to N’night app icon, Aug 06, 2018 I agree, there's too much going on. I'd consider making the "n'" the primary element, and maybe try blurring it a little to give the impression of falling asleep while viewing it.
