Because it looks awesome, and they can.

Have you tried sfc /scannow?

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.

It’s just some mostly-unwritten rule of English grammar. If you do it wrong it sounds wrong but most English speakers don’t think about it.

Edit: reference.

I guess I was thinking of “special characters” like Ł, ñ, ă and such.

ruby shoes that are red

You mostly nailed it but this one would be “red ruby shoes”

determiner, quantity, opinion, size, physical quality, shape, age, colour, origin, material, type, and purpose

Special characters suck in on-screen keyboards

Not as much as they do on physical keyboards with their “hold alt-gr and hope” approach.

Not true at all. (I see someone else already mentioned it but…)

I love mazes that intentionally defeat this method.

You mis-spelled “to-day”.

I mean something that demonstrates a consistent culture of hate, not just one comment disagreeing with you.

Got an example?

I only use it incidentally but my biggest gripe is the total inability to perform its one function of teleconferencing.

The bit where it lags the audio badly and then speeds it up to catch back up to real-time is absolutely infuriating to listen to, and such a failure of a tool that had. one. job.

“Algorithmic steering” is okay as long as the algorithm is relatively straightforward, public, and well-understood.

The problem is when the corpos tweak it to suit their mass-market advertisers.

Awesome. That seems like the way to go then!

Are there good alternatives?

I feel like forums really fell behind the times, with shitty threading systems and awkward text formatting interfaces and the horror that is bbcode.

Meanwhile discord handles image embedding gracefully, with markdown formatting and previews.

What’s the next-gen forum system that’s keeping up with modern times? Is there a part of the fediverse that meets this?

Discourse seems the most modern, but not sure if it is open, let alone federated.

Lemmy almost fills it but tends to be too ephemeral and doesn’t handle multiple forums/channels for one broad topic.
