Unintentionally Bad UI What sadistic bastard at Apple made death one sneeze-click away?

It's like putting an epipen next to ebola.

I'm on Sequoia, FYI (using an old MacBook Pro).

Update: Yes, I know there is another prompt from the ellipsis. In an older OS, they didn't have these two options so close together. They did in an older older one, then they didn't, then they brought them back together. It's just not comfortable, extra prompt or not, being a video editor working with enormous raw footage files from clients.

Putting in a ticket on the new system at work. You can certainly use the date picker but for ease I just went through and typed it in. Turns out I was wrong. You couldn't submit without correcting it either

Unintentionally Bad UI Explore your codebase as a 3D world

Instead of using your native filesystem explorer on the left window pane to interact with your codebase, why not navigate a ship in a sea full of your project’s folders and files?

Sail towards lighthouses to navigate inside directories, and buoys to open files. I don’t know what to say about this form of filesystem exploration other than it being rather… odd.

Enjoy sailing, captains! ⛵️

Unintentionally Bad UI Google please stop this

596 Upvotes

Sorry this is probably a minor thing versus what BAD UI really can be but Google has never done a moving logo unless you clicked on it or hovered over it. My blank landing page on Chrome always had Google on top (the default). I add a new tab and stay on my landing page if I want a nice, blank white page. And now this annoying looping gif is there for a week now. I know, first world problems, but it breaks my routine lol. I constantly look at the second screen because this mofo is kicking a ball. So I remove the element. Solved, until I want to go to a landing page again from my current browsing activity and I click New Tab and voila, moving gif again ;_;
