    “he told Alan Kohler on the ABC's That's Business podcast. And that creates an #environment where our teams are stretched to do more because there are more platforms to occupy." Mr Marks acknowledged the #difficulty in moving away from much-loved #programs in favour of new #content.”

  11. ...training #methodologies for #programs that we want to call #AI. The #CEOs around AI act like they are #mystics of some incredible magnitude. Like they have brought advanced something to #humanity. They've brought accelerated #climate problems. There has been a hint of what could be done...

  15. Recently, I was thinking about interfaces of programs and websites, and I realised that I have a very particular aesthetic that i prefer. I was wondering if anyone shares this opinion. In Firefox, the program layout would be called Pre-Australis, but I'm not sure of a more standard term. In websites, it may just be semantic html.

    Programs
    1.
    Menus accessible via the alt key, where each one is navigated with the up and down arrows, and each menu is entered with the left and right arrows.
    2.
    Okay, cancel, and apply buttons are present.
    3.
    No ribbons.
    I'm not really going to discuss phone applications, because they are entirely different. But I will say that I don't like how many lack keyboard support and involve scrolling. I don't see how that could possibly be better and more efficient than immediately going to the top or bottom of a list, for example, with Windows.

    Websites
    1.
    No hamburger menus. Each section is accessed via a link. All combo boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. are clearly labelled.
    2.
    No page refreshes, unless loading a new page or prompted by the user i.e. with f5.
    3.
    No clutter on the page i.e. advertisements in the middle of news articles.
    4.
    If such things exist, then there should be a text-only, or basic html version of the site.
    5.
    Downloadable content is in txt, html, doc, or rtf, not pdf, docx, etc.
    6.
    If captchas are used, they should have good audio replacements.

    I have no idea why so many programmers aren't design things with normal menus these days. Even Windows is doing this. It's one of the many reasons I switched from 11 back to 7 for daily use. Website developers also frustrate me. Why must everything be in these ridiculous hamburger menus? What happened to normal links? I even see this on sites for the blind!

  18. MakeUseOf: Extensions, plugins, and add-ons aren’t the same thing — and I’ve been mixing them up for years. “Somewhere between installing a grammar checker and grabbing a reverb effect for my DAW, it dawned on me that I’d been tossing around the words extension, plugin, and add-on like they were interchangeable. Like three different names for the same thing. Close enough, right? Not really. […]
