Never heard of the guy and both apple and meta can suck my infected boils.

"Design is not just how it looks. Design is how it." -Alan
Words to live by.

I was curious about the quote, but it got jpegged away :(
-
It's a Steve Jobs quote:
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
-
Damn. Truly a visionary I must say. Nobody ever thought to think of a design in terms of how something works before
No but seriously though, I don't really get this quote. Isn't that.. obvious?
-
ohhh, so Microsoft is bad at design, I was trying to pinpoint exactly what was so fucked up with their shit
because seriously how the fuck does nothing Microsoft just work anymore
even notepad was enshittified, I just learned there's fucking copilot in notepad. I'm trying to hold out on Win10 at work, but they're also making OneDrive trigger BSODs a few times a day now...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Dye will lead a new creative studio within the company's AR/VR division Reality Labs.
Sweet, now he can actually achieve his fantasy of becoming a glazier in VR.

Lol good luck getting boomers to look at grey text on light grey backgrounds
-
"Design philosophy" may be the one type of philosophy even more useless than actual philosophy.
-
this is a partial rewrite of an older meme captioned "if apple really had courage"
-
Gruber reallly just loved him

Bastard ruining technology through one company moves to ruin technology through another company.
RIP Bozo, you won't be missed
EDIT : People seem to be interpreting this as me hating on that guy. I'm hating on apple and facebook. Fuck them both, all this shithead has done is gone from one company fucking up technology (apple) and gone to another company fucking up technology (facebook)
You can’t ruin what was never good.
apple was known for making excellent UX, that's the main reason their products are successful. It Just Works™. (well, that and status symbol)
the problems started before version 26, but i don't think there's been an apple software release that botched in a while
He's going to do a lot less damage at Meta. Other than the quest I don't think they actually make any hardware. What's he going to do?
thanks for making me realise that my post is interpreted as hating whoever the fuck this guy is, and not the shitty companies he's working for. for your convenience :
You calling him a bastard who personally ruins tech. You are hating on that guy or are missing some commas.
