Hello fellow RIT alum! :-D

Even the domain https://block.xyz seemed questionable when I first saw this post.

Whenever I type, be it on my phone or on a computer, I always use double spaces after a period. Like you, I'm just used to it and un-learning it is hard!

I don't understand why removing menu icons is a good thing. Firefox did it and I absolutely hate the change: https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2021/06/content-design-considera...

I actually use Zen browser and thankfully someone made a "mod" to bring them back: https://github.com/SivanTechDev/zen-themes/tree/main/BringBa...

Maybe it's just me, but the icons are NOT noise or a distraction, they actually make it quicker and easier for me to find what I want. Yes, I can read the words, but sometimes things blend together, such as "unload tab" and "unpin tab". The icons make it easier to tell them apart. Also, again maybe just me, but I remember the icon for the action I want and it's much quicker for me to scan the menu to find the icon than to have to read every piece of text.

Anyway, lots of people don't like the removal of icons, me being one of them, and I think the icons are nice and should stay in the menus.


Agreed, icons make it way faster to scan menu items, also hate that Firefox removed them. I'm constantly searching for the correct entry.

I never played the 1st Grandia, but I had Grandia II on the Dreamcast and I absolutely loved that game. I'll admit that I was never the best with (J)RPGs and never played it for that long per-session as a kid, but I did eventually finish it. Though, it did take many years to finally get to the end and finish the game, but I enjoyed it! (I also enjoyed Evolution 2: Far Off Promise).

I didn't go that far, but I did take the back cover from my old (stickered) laptop and hang it on the wall.


Hmm... I wonder how many of these are ThinkPads.

I found this site a few days ago and uploaded my laptop, which just so happens to be a ThinkPad X270.
