It’s a tough balance… tough to show the reality but also show how the perception is being manipulated in reporting.

Sadly they did not. Current headline says “Greta Thunberg arrives in Paris after deportation from Israel”

It’s definitely an AMD graphics card crash.

I think the clear answer is that there is no real reason other than habit and sunk cost fallacy.

See also the metric system, A4 paper, and daylight-saving time.

ITT: defensive answers and ISO-8601 supporters.

Not true. Grocery pickup means I give zero shits about the layout.

Yes. You could use vlc or even as an iso file just open them as a virtual drive.

I’m not sure about PDF specifically as a printer language but yeah basically.

Don’t worry, commercial printers are equally bad but in a different way.

Every vendor feels the need to inject their own special secret sauce into the drivers instead of making a tool that Just Works.

CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

Because it’s a common phrase and because one can accept that people have a name for their deity even if you believe that deity doesn’t really exist.

It actually works, without a bunch of insane weird behavior.

You think we’ll be using trains?

I love filter views, no real complaints there except that other people can’t manage to figure out the difference between filtering the whole sheet and setting up a filter view.

Tables seem kind of pointless but better than a separate database app I guess?

Not sure about “little pills”, do you mean the drop downs? That’s in validation, and it’s a little odd but better both in interface and function than Excel. There’s really only one version and two ways to do it: “data validation” and “insert drop-down” (the latter is just a shortcut to the former, but with relevant options selected). Checkboxes are the same (both live in the insert menu).

I’ve never known the “paste style” menu, I mostly use keyboard shortcuts when pasting. I might be misunderstanding what you’re describing there.

Some of it is just familiarity but I found Google sheets to be a breath of fresh air and still find Excel just painful.

Although Google has really gotten pretty cluttered lately as they add features and slap them in whatever menu they pick at random.

Similar but with an interface that refuses to do anything new for 20 years.

Yeah but those extra steps are important ones.

As long as you don’t rely on the UI design matching, it is fine.

Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson … how can you go wrong!?
