What's wrong with the 90s UX? It lets you do your work without being intrusive or annoying, so what's wrong with it?

What you're looking for is called RSS. Install a RSS client, subscribe to some blogs or interesting sites like Aeon, Psyche, Nautilus, Longreads or Hacker News and add them to your client. Then you can scroll mindlessly through your own curated list of educational content.

Configure uBlock Origin in medium mode and set Firefox to delete cookies on quitting. Easy.

You can change that behavior in the settings.

But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What's the difference now?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that software's UI and UX doesn't need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it's "old" and doesn't look "modern" (tf is a "modern UI", btw?).

(Copying my comment from another thread in !linuxmemes@lemmy.world)

Last September I installed Debian 12 in my laptop with an encrypted LVM. Then I tried to add a secondary SSD, also as an encrypted volume, by following some random tutorial I found (spare me, it was my first time fiddling around with an encrypted installation). The next thing I remember is that I was in an initramfs shell trying to fix the boot process 😅🤣. Since I was running low on patience (and it was like 3 AM) I simply decided to nuke the install and start again. Eventually I was able to configure the SSD correctly, but this event reminded me how easily is to brick your system if you're not careful enough. Fun times.

I've been using Firefox Vertical Tabs since 1 or 2 years ago and my experience has been satisfactory. Now, I'm not a vertical tabs power user or something like that, and if suddenly I cannot use them anymore I can go back to use horizontal tabs without much problem. At this point I'm just accustomed to them, but they're not an integral part of my workflow.

In Mexico they are:

  • Preescolar/Kinder/Jardín de niños (Preschool): ages 3-5 years old (can vary from state to state).
  • Primaria (Elementary school): 6 years. Ages 6-12.
  • Secundaria (Middle school): 3 years. Ages 12-15.
  • Preparatoria/Bachillerato (High school): 3 years. Ages 15-18.
  • Universidad (University, undergrad education): 2-8 years.
  • Posgrado (Postgraduate education): Variable length. In my field a "Maestría" (Master's degree) is 2 years, and a "Doctorado" (PhD) is 4 years.

Is to prevent that that you configure UBO in medium mode. Since many cookie banners are loaded by a 3rd party script, they're blocked by UBO when configured this way. For the rest I use one of the "Annoyances" filter that come preinstalled. Since the time I adopted this method (~3 years) I think I can count the number of cookie banners I've seen with the fingers of one hand.

Thanks! I wrote that when on mobile, so I didn't think to add instructions 😅. Also, if the user needs to allow some cookies, they can be set at Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Exceptions.

Tab Stash seems to be what you're looking for.

So, the problem is that people doesn't have a working memory anymore, is that so?
