Never heard of the guy and both apple and meta can suck my infected boils.
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.
You calling him a bastard who personally ruins tech. You are hating on that guy or are missing some commas.
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 :

“Design is not just how it looks. Design is how it.” -Alan
Words to live by.
Good riddance. Now stop hiding buttons.
He went to Meta, now you can expect every button on Instagra/Facebook other than “see ad” to be hidden
Now that he’s gone can they roll back to Material? Please?
Material is Google’s design language
Whatever it was before, go back.
Read their design guide when I was learning proper UI/UX design and there was a lot of detail on how designing it to be simple and intuiting how users used the interface. Not putting options behind a ton of sub menus, making buttons a certain size, what feedback is expected, how best to make notifications readable, etc. It’s like they threw out everything and said fuck it.
Some options hidden under submenus are just almost never used
Maybe you select some text on iOS and clearly your first instinct is going to be to do something with Apple Intelligence. What are the chances you would want to look the text up? Like zero so that’s an extra tap
(Uhg)
PS: retesting this now, maybe it got better with 26.1
My “favorite” thing in iOS is when you’re composing an email and want to insert a photo. You press and hold to get a context menu, then you tap the right arrow on the context menu a few times until you get “insert photo” (because apparently inserting a photo in an email is the last thing you’d ever want to do). Easy enough (lol) except that the right arrow changes position every time you tap it because the width of the context menu changes based on the width of the text options, so you’re likely to tap outside the menu and dismiss it accidentally. For bonus points, I get to watch my 90-year-old mother with long fingernails try to do this.
I was curious about the quote, but it got jpegged away :(
jpegged away
It wasn’t jpegged away, that’s the awesome joke.
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
this is a partial rewrite of an older meme captioned “if apple really had courage”
Gruber reallly just loved him

…and then he Dyed.
“Design philosophy” may be the one type of philosophy even more useless than actual philosophy.
