@kevincox@lemmy.ml avatar

The one that always gets me is GNOME’s screen sharing portal.

a screenshot of the screen sharing dialog.

There is this outline around the “Application Window” tab which makes it seem selected. I use this UI multiple times a week and I need to pause for a sec every single time. I always think “I want to share a window”, “oh it is already selected” then stare at the monitors for a while before I realize why I can’t understand what I am looking at.

@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

If they did the exact opposite of this, I think it would look ok. If I was trying to fix this, I would probably just swap the styles of the selected and deselected states. Maybe it’s a miscommunication between designers and implementers, causing the meanings to be swapped?

kevincox ,
@kevincox@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t think it is that simple. I think that outline is about the “focus”. So if I press enter it will activate that tab, if I press tab it will move the focus to the “Entire Screen” tab.

The UX issue is that there are two concepts of focus in this UI. There is “which tab is active” and “what UI element will pressing enter activate”. These two are not sufficiently differentiated which leads to a confusing experience.

Or maybe there can just be no keyboard focus indicator by default, but that may be annoying for keyboard power users. But this is generally how it works on the web, you have to press tab once to move keyboard focus to the first interactive element.

56_ ,
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Right, that makes sense as well. What I was thinking is that the use of the accent colour shows which one is active, though it would probably be less confusing if this wasn’t done with an outline. See the KDE version for example:

Screenshot of the KDE screen sharing portal, showing “Screens” and “Windows” tabs, where the selected tab has a horizontal accent colour line above it.

Regarding keyboard navigation, I could see this working similarly to radio buttons, where the tab key selects the entire tab group, and tabs need to be navigated using the arrow keys. In this case I think it makes sense to put the focus border around only the selected option, and having the focus border follow the selected option when arrow keys are used. If this is the case, I think swapping the current version does make sense.

kevincox ,
@kevincox@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah. I like old school tabs that were clearly attached to the thing that they switched. I definitely prefer the KDE UX here.

56_ ,
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Sadly KDE is also trying out the “modern” style tabs in some places too:

That three people downvoted this (so far) really shows how behind we are as a society. Why anyone would dislike calling out a multi-millionaire for flying a private jet unnecessarily is beyond me. We don’t live in the same reality.

You probably didn’t mean it, but your comment implies there are also necessary uses for private jets lol

It’s hard to prove the blanket statement, “there are no good reasons to have a private jet.” But it’s easy to prove, “one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous.”

So, what course of action are you proposing? Vote Trump? Vote 3rd party? Don’t vote?

What’s your intended / expected outcome?

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Voting 3rd party is a great idea. One that doesn’t support Genocide that is.

KoboldCoterie ,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

A normally blue voter voting 3rd party is indirectly helping Trump win the election. Do you think Trump’s Israel policy is going to be better than Harris’s?

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Trump will be the same on israel. Are you going to reward the Democrats for 10 months of Genocide?

KoboldCoterie ,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Well, I’m not a single-issue voter.

I’m not rewarding them for anything, but I accept that it’s possible to oppose one policy a politician has, even a very important one, and at the same time support a lot of other policies they have, while also vehemently opposing almost all policies that their opponent supports, and make my choice based on that information.

Based on this post, you seem to be a single-issue voter, though, so I’m trying to understand what you’re hoping the outcome is. You acknowledge that a vote that supports Trump, even indirectly, is not helping the people of Gaza, so why would you vote against your own self-interests? What’s your goal?

If your goal is to show opposition to what’s happening in Gaza, there’s much more effective ways to do that. Get out there and protest - the protests at the DNC are getting a lot of news coverage, that’s where your activism could actually make a difference. Not here.

tobogganablaze ,

The guys is just a trump/maga shill who exploits the suffering in Gaza to attack the democratic party. That’s all he every posts about. Don’t waste your time.

KoboldCoterie ,
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

I don’t think it’s a waste of time. Even if I can’t convince him specifically, there are other people reading these posts. If someone came to this thread who was less sure, and I can change their mind, that’s good enough for me.

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Would you be a single-issue voter if you were the victim of Genocide?

The outcome is the Democrats stop committing Genocide or they don’t get votes. “But Trump” isn’t even an argument.

KoboldCoterie , (edited )
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

If I were the victim of genocide, I wouldn’t be a voter at all, because I’d be dead. However, that’s kind of irrelevant - are you the victim of genocide? I’m assuming not, if you’re voting in the US election. Even if you’re Palestinian, your people are the victim of genocide, but unless you’re in Palestine, you aren’t.

That said, if you are Palestinian, I feel for you, I honestly do, and it would explain your view somewhat.

I think we can both agree that there’s only two outcomes that’re possible in this election: Trump wins, or Harris wins. (If you don’t agree, I’d be happy to hear your third outcome.) If you truly believe there’s no difference between the two of them, you need to do some research on the topic, because there are a lot of differences, even if they don’t pertain to this issue specifically.

If, between the two of them, you hope Harris wins, a 3rd party vote is voting against your interests. If you hope Trump wins between the two of them, a 3rd party vote is still voting against your interests, because you’re effectively taking a vote away from your preferred candidate among the two who could possibly win.

Edit to respond to your edit:

The outcome is the Democrats stop committing Genocide or they don’t get votes. “But Trump” isn’t even an argument.

Unless you’re out there protesting, or writing letters, or making phone calls, or in some way letting them know that their policy is costing them your vote, it’s a useless gesture. Posting on Lemmy isn’t going to change any politician’s minds. It’s not even going to change anyone’s mind here, in all likelihood. If you actually want to make a difference, you need to make your voice heard by the people whose minds you’re actually trying to change.

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Not every victim of Genocide is killed. Any person who was put in a concentration camp by Hitler, or even persecuted, was a victim of the Holocaust. Similarly any person in Gaza is the victim of a Genocide. And you don’t have to be a Palestinian to empathise with people.

Your scope of analysis is limited to 4 years. There’s no long term analysis. If people vote for Genocide it will cement that Democrats can get away with anything if they fearmonger hard enough.

When people threaten to withhold votes for a Genocide they have to follow through or all the leverage falls away. It’s a game of chicken now.

FutileRecipe ,

It’s a game of chicken now.

And if you’re not scared of a convicted felon who promises to be a dictator on day one and has the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as a cult like following who stormed the Capitol to attempt an insurrection yet who also praises dictators and salutes their generals and has nothing to lose getting ahold of the Presidency then I don’t know what to tell ya. But sure, let’s play chicken with the saner and lesser of the two evils and help MAGA win.

Trump was not just going to install a Fascist regime but commit a Genocide on all Mexicans and Arabs and start nuclear WW3. In the end he built a worthless border wall and a did Muslim ban that got overturned rather quickly.

Collective amnesia amongst Democrats appears to have wiped all the memories of previous Trump fearmongering away. There’s room for fresh new fearmongering again.

I don’t care about Trumps felony convictions of him bribing a porn star. Biden and Harris should face trial in the Hague for literal Genocide.

Cephalotrocity ,

Do you hear yourself? You even point out he implemented a Muslim ban. Clearly, the side you should be supporting. No reason to think otherwise. Nope.

shiftymccool ,

OK, I’ll bite. Trump wins. Give your “long term analysis”

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Democrats won’t do Genocide in 2028 if they win then because they have now learnt they can’t get away with literally anything by feamongering.

Democrats can’t just say they’re “not Trump”. They have to be “not Trump”.

shiftymccool , (edited )

4 years? That’s your idea of “long term”? You honestly think losing one election will teach anybody anything? How the fuck will they know what lesson to learn when they lose? As other commenters have said, their are other issues the two parties disagree on. How will they know what one to blame for losing?

On the other hand, pubs are learning that they can run a convicted felon that promises a dictatorship if he wins. Yeah, let’s set that precedent…

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Already proven. They dropped Biden because they knew they would get Hillary2016’d if they didn’t. Democrats only seem to learn their lesson the hard way.

Heard the dictator shtick in 2016 try something new.

Ah yes, “proven”. It’s obvious to me by your use of “proven”, “their”, “dictator shtick”, etc… that you are one of the crazies.

The long term analysis is that both Israel and Palestine have been more interested in conflict than peace for far longer than I have been alive.

The reality is that their little quarrel is pretty low on my list of priorities. I want representatives who share that opinion.

Diplomjodler3 ,

That’s complete nonsense. Trump is going to support Netanjahu going full fascist. The Democrats are going to offer at least some resistance. Not nearly enough obviously, but there is a clear difference nonetheless. A second Trump administration would be extremely damaging not just to the US but to the entire world. But that’s fine by you, isn’t it? People like you just want to see the world burn and all your ideas of how something better is somehow going to rise from the ashes are just bullshit.

Linkerbaan OP ,

You can’t defend a Genocide by pretending the Demcrats haven’t already gone full Fascist. All of Netanyahu’s commands have been obeyed to perfection.

You don’t seem to have read or followed any of the logic here. Why’s that?

Someone who would otherwise vote for Harris voting 3rd party would help Trump win. Pretty simple. Not sure what’s so hard to understand about that. And Trump would be just as bad on Gaza, worst likely, and worse on every other issue facing the country as well. Not sure how many times we have to say it.

Linkerbaan OP ,

dan1101 ,

If a massive number of voters would vote third party that would be great. But based on every presidential election ever that’s just wishful thinking. The reality is a vote for a third party is one less vote for the best chance to defeat Trump.

The reality here is we aren’t going to win with a non genocide candidate. The best we can do is go with the masses and vote the least bad candidate in.

The laws of thermodynamics are sometimes summarized as

That summary applies to the Israel/Palestine conflict. Everyone is going to be pissed off no matter what we do, including if we do nothing.

Politically, the best way to deal with Israel/Palestine is “Hey, look, a squirrel”.
