  • Thanks for that etymology bit. I wonder why I never bothered to check, but it makes perfect sense, as I know Turkish.

    And yeah, I should have used “sometimes” not “usually”. Pan fried shawarma is a thing, while döner isn’t, so depending on the way it’s prepared it may technically not be kebab.

    Btw, kebab doesn’t need to involve any bread element whatsoever. In fact, in places that use the term natively, it usually isn’t. Kebab is just any grilled meat on a stick, and often is just the equivalent of BBQ.

    You’re not wrong, as it’s your personal subjective experience, which can’t be wrong.
    But the fact that it pisses you off implies that you don’t understand the reason behind it.
    We used to have information-dense UIs before because:

    • devices used to have only large screens with lower resolution.
    • devices were used primarily be specialists for productivity.

    Which means programs had to fit a lot of stuff in very few pixels. Nowadays, vast majority of users are casual, the people of the land, fatfingering their tiny displays. They don’t need a ton of buttons and sliders. In fact, a common user would get overwhelmed by all that, even on the desktop. And while a small amount of people would benefit from a denser UI for the same casual apps, it’s usually not with the effort designing and implementing them.
