Gnome and some KDE applications used to offer tear-off menus that could be positioned anywhere, similar to NeXTSTEP and its derivatives. Seemed like a neat idea that still deserves some consideration.

While I don't like neutering an artist's vision in the name of conformity or commercial pressure, it's generally a wise business practice to avoid deliberately offending your potential audience. I suppose a healthy gaming franchise needs new users to thrive, and maybe toning down the excess will broaden the game's appeal.

Intuitively, that's how I assumed it already worked, and it's probably what most new users will also expect. But a single global identity also runs counter to the idea of decentralization, and could invite other further complications.

The current experience can still be pretty jarring.

The superior app experience may end up finally tipping the scale on my perpetual indecision between Lemmy vs Kbin.

Designed by none other than the legendary Susan Kare, apparently.

It's been a good run, and best of luck with future endeavors. Mlem established a good standard of design and usability for others to strive to attain.

Complete the effect by combining them with a wristwatch broadcasting your heart rate and the transfixed stare of Apple's goggles.

Die Auswahl ist eher begrenzt, aber die Bücher, Zeitungen und Zeitschriften des Goethe-Instituts sind kostenlos:

It's a paid app only available for Windows and Mac at the moment, but Fork may be worth a look: https://git-fork.com
