You forgot Quora. That site used to be semi-useful. These days I can never tell whether I’m reading an actual answer to the question or just some random recommended post that’s been shoved in in between.
Right? Whenever I go on Quora I have to double-check whether the response I’m reading is actually the answer or just another post
It turned into Yahoo Answers when JBP promoted it.
I think Quora is on another level. It’s a weird zombie site these days
For YouTube, use FreeTube, Tubular or LibreTube if you like native clients or Piped and Invidious if you prefer a website.
It’s best not to use Reddit at all, but if you need it for some reason, check out Libreddit or this site
Unfortunately not much can be done to avoid Discord’s terrible UI other than not using it. The Matrix protocol and Element client are pretty nice alternatives.
A third party app that’s still working for me for Reddit is called Stealth.
I tried it a few months ago and it was broken, I might give it another shot
Try RedReader. It still works for Reddit(they gave it an exception for accessibility reasons). It is available on F Droid as well.
I heard about it, but I’m totally fine with using Libreddit. I never log in to Reddit and I only need to periodically check 2 subreddits, Libreddit is totally fine for that.
Piped and Invidious, I have tried dozens of servers of them. They just don’t work if I want to watch at 1080p. I have not tried the others though.
EDIT: I just tried FreeTube. It works great. Thanks.
iv.datura.network and invidious.fi have always worked for me, even at 1080p
Discord is easy, I just it for voice chat with friends exclusively. The rest of discord is what you get when you explain forums to someone, bash them over the head 1000 times, then let them program a forum. I could not think of a single thing they could make even worse.
I remodelled my baby’s mobile for exactly this reason. Seemed stupid to have the animals face up when baby is underneath, so I turned them round and made them detachable so baby could pull them off and play with them too.

Uh… Uh… Uh…
Thanks for the link! Hadn’t found this one yet.
When the project manager forgets that the users are stakeholders, and are entitled to representation and influence.
That’s how I developed my lifelong love of buttholes.
YouTube isn’t even following material design 3…
I remember the first day I got on Discord. My friend said, “it’s like IRC.” Yeah, the chat part. Once I figured out how the fuck I could get to the place to chat with my friend.
Bring back when companies wanted their users using their software, not forcing only one channel of usage.
SAP: “Step aside, kids”
Guess it doesn’t look like this anymore:
Hahahahaha. I hate SAP with a burning fury. I’m not sure if it’s looked like this for a long time as I’ve only been in my career three years, but yep yep yep yep, looks exactly the same.
Then it’s looked like that for at least a decade, nice.
Imagine they have new versions with new UIs, but legacy businesses ain’t gonna pay for those upgrades and retraining and re-integration costs!

Imagine that they want every customer to move to their new “cloud” system, S/4HANA, come hell or high water. Because that’s happening, apparently.
Yikes.
I blame capitalism.
Thanks for that link.
The discord UI was great. And then they made it ugly and slow as fuck.
Honestly, I find it pretty decent. I only wish I could see timestamps per message on the new UI
I refuse to do the username change so I get the pop-up every time a client opens up. It’s lovely.
Personally I’ve found the recent change to be a few steps forwards in some places and a few steps backwards in others
I’ve been using aliucord
Thanks a lot for that tip. The UI is Vetter and its also mich faster.
Yeah it takes as much bloat away as possible. On my linux system I use webcord. My friend showed me their discord app and I was so confused. I forgot I wasn’t on Discord’s official app
Just use a 3rd party a…h, crap.
I know this is a slightly different category, but Snapchat’s UI is absolutely the worst- far worse than all of these. It’s my go-to UI to pick on.
One button left called “Watch Ad” and it spans the whole screen.
Looks like someone never tried to use Skype UI back in the day. It was different from, and substantially worse than, all the other messaging and voice programs out there.
Dude Skype was so terrible. Good riddance
Haha, you think those are bad? Try any professional tools, like CAD’s, DAW’s, or 3d modelling software.
Or, even worse, any internal corporate software, the bigger and the older the company is, the better… at being the worst, that is.
Or. actually, just go to an any airline’s office to buy a ticket and witness the atrocity they have on their monitors. No, those are not blue screens of death. That bunch of gibberish is the actual UI. And the only way to interact with it is by typing in commands that read like something that Lovecraftian creatures would sound like.
I haven’t tried many CAD softwares but AutoCAD has really intuitive UI. I used to be able to find most things by just thinking what tab it should be based on what it is. It actually inspired me to learn better programming and software design to make something intuitive. I haven’t used it in years since I came to Linux so as long as they haven’t changed it.
Command line isn’t actually bad UI for professionals. It’s way faster than using a mouse.
Command line isn’t bad, but that isn’t quite it. It’s a terminal, but not really command line, think more like htop as compared to gnu utils. And they use it not because it’s efficient, but because it dates back to where there was no other option. It’s extremely convoluted, and if you’ve ever had problems with airlines before (mainly baggage) - chances are, it’s because somebody messed something up in this system.
Are you a zoomer? Command line is way better than a billion little buttons

Those systems are so much faster and more reliable than the bubbly shit we have now. All that crap on the screen is what we call “information density.” It’s designed for people who work with it several hours a day and understand it, not for some random to be able to learn in 15 minutes. It has a longer learning curve, but is way more efficient in the end.
I agree. That stuff tends to be much more stable than the newy swipe-and-drag interfaces. These designs are basically unbreakable. I dig that so.
i like the YouTube ui excluding the channel page
Let’s add google drive.
I hate their ui.
The worst thing they did with the UI which OneDrive also does, is take the universally understood concept of “Saving” and make it mean 5 different things within the same program.
Can someone tell me how to force Google drive to show me folders instead of files on start? Why would I ever need to look at a mess of files? I spend time organizing them into folders a reason, no thanks Google I really wanted them haphazardly thrown in my face.
Is this the setting you’re talking about?
