manuls during the summer: waluigi

but in case someone is maybe listening:

stay away from llms. You'll end up like mozilla. No, you're not special. Every slop coder thinks they have enough experience, they are checking their output and it's fine, and it's the same story every time

do you want your software to be a buggy mess?

I'd like this to be a cautionary tale about adopting llms

but ofc nobody will learn any lessons from this and software quality will keep quickly degrading

and now it crashed

cherry on top

ok, I think I'll stop

fucking slopware

at least the tablet one should be fine...

ok, idk what i expected

uh oh, i switched to compact mode using the window density settings they now prominently advertise from toolbar customization screen

now menus have even more broken paddings and radii!

firefox really can't decide if there's too much or too little contrast

(also gotta love how "✨ Manage AI controls" is right there. Really shows their priorities)

...

i found another menu style!

oh, they forgor to round this one

or add padding in the dropdown below

also: guess which menu style it will use!

how many different menu styles do we need?

also why does "find in settings" autocomplete my matrix display names?!

(my system accent is red btw)

also great paddings throughout, no notes

great top left corner

also great nested border radii again

great paddings

for the most part tho it's mostly the same thing but with border-radius: 99999px

meanwhile, and i quote,

Interview: Firefox's chief on why he hopes a redesign will help win users from Chrome

the sidebar is slightly better than in my last post, but not much

passwords is still lacking a background, bookmarks has wrong padding around searchbar, extensions are missing top padding while everything else has too much top padding

not beating vibe coding allegations anytime soon

oh they didn't

not a great first impression of this new redesign

slop on my timeline

one of the things slop has ruined is: I used to go through popular apps to see what ui patterns they use to design widgets/api around that

now it's a lot more difficult - the very premise of this research assumes that there's intent behind what apps are doing, and that only really works if the app was made by people

now that any new app may be slop coded, and consequently what patterns it uses may have been decided by the gods of RNG and has no intent whatsoever, so I'd have to check every app to make sure it's not slop
