GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
New GNOME dialog on the right:
Apple's dialog:
They say GNOME isn't a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don't think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they're making right now.
Here's the thing: Apple's design you'll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don't lose their work when they just want to click "Cancel".
So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P

These are pretty standard UI patterns.
Your point being...?
His point is that you have no point.
My point is: if you want to copy / be inspired by others at least do it right.
So, copying is making something identical. But something that’s different would rationally be called not copying, whereas you categorize it as poor copying. Interesting.
Ever hear of two things just being similar? We are talking about a UI - these things have always followed patterns that change as usage patterns change in the industry. I think you must be young and/or inexperienced because this kind of trend goes back to the ‘80s.
I would categorize it as poor copying because the copy doesn't conform to the design / UX patterns that were present on the "original" work.
Bro... There is but so many ways to effectively organize something basic like that jfc.
Best or standard practice, ever heard of the concept?
If it is standard design, it is not targeting iOS. That is his point.
