I generally prefer the UI of Apple Maps (Google is way too cluttered), but Google has much more complete review data, hours, and menus, so I usually end up using Google.

It's another frontend -- specifically, it's this: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

Anyway, I wasn’t aware that GIMP UX suffers, I’ve never used anything else and am happy with it.

My argument here is that by never having used anything else, you wouldn't necessarily realize how much better other UX choices could have been.

That said, I do have to give the devs some credit, as they have fixed two major issues, by adding single-window-mode and unifying the transform tools. Having each transform be its own separate tool was just awful UX IMO.

The biggest remaining UX problem, in my opinion, is the way GIMP forces layers to have fixed boundaries. Literally no other layer-based image editor has fixed layer boundaries, because it makes very little sense as a concept. Layers should solely be defined by their content, not by arbitrary layer properties set in a dialog box.

Honestly I feel like this attitude is the reason GIMP’s UX suffers. They’re so determined to be “not like photoshop” that they’re unwilling to fix some of their more boneheaded UI decisions out of fear that they’d be seen as copying photoshop.

If you have a Mac or iOS device, they have built in Japanese voices.

I’m guessing Windows and Android might also?

Experimental native build?

It does work as well as it can, but it’s sometimes a bit flakey. Sadly that’s Apple’s problem to fix.

Voyager is seriously the best example of a PWA I’ve ever seen.

Seriously though, you could argue those exact same points about almost any era in human history.

I don't really get what's going on with C, it seems like it's the Lemmy logo wearing a VR headset.

Remember that Android is Linux-based -- so keeping that in mind, a massive amount of normal users use Linux on a daily basis.

I think the key is, operating systems are meant to exist in the background. If it's working well, you don't think about it at all.
