yyyyyyyyes. god, the share buttons… who actually clicks those? instagram users?
Edit in Canva
is also such a thing
Those buttons aren’t there to be used. They contain tracking links.
Don’t even need to click them for them to track you 🙂
…what
When viewing public content, like YouTube or Maps, sure you’re right. But that’s besides the point given that the post clearly refers to editors, not just viewers.
On cloud editors where my documents are non-public until I explicitly enable public access “for anyone with the link” - by using the share button - it’s not much tracking but literally required functionality. Even if we ignore corporate crap, that also applies to privacy focused, self hosted options like Immich
Can’t I just export to a file and share that? Yes, in some cases, but not in all. I might need collaborative features or I’m working on a weird type of document where I can’t expect the recipient to have compatible native software installed, or it might be in a work context where my personal choices for software might be limited.
this “editor” is probably a electron app that shows you a web app, or some other web based thingz so every vendor connected to that button is collecting data all the same like every other website
That’s clearly not a social share button depicted in the drawing. It’s an os / custom sharing button. Not to mention social share buttons don’t necessarily load from the shared platform’s own website, run javascript or track you across browsers.
Share buttons exist because people use them.
It sounds like you’re both talking past each other re: is it the “share on Facebook” tracking thing, or the smartphone “share” button that is just how you export a file these days.
I’m not sure what you mean to say by posting this picture. Maria’s comment was,
yyyyyyyyes. god, the share buttons… who actually clicks those? instagram users?
Which, given the context, made me think of the “share on Instagram” buttons you see on other Web pages, but not this picture.
This is just straight up wrong. If you see an “Edit in Canva” or whatever button in an editing suite or software by even a medium sized technology company, it’s not a surface controlled and tracked by Canva - it would have been implemented by a developer working for the editing suite or technology company or whatever. Those kinds of features are usually part of user growth agreements in which one company pays the other (or reciprocally expects to refer a similar number of users) to be featured. Engagement is typically tracked internally for contractual reasons, but I’ve never heard of it being shared with third parties (because doing so would almost always violate privacy policies and open up the company to lawsuits).
Source: I’ve worked on exactly these kinds of buttons.
I am not usually triggered by a picture or a meme, but this made me grind my teeth.
don’t do that, it’s bad for your teeth. better to bite on something. use your finger if you have nothing else available.
I actually like auto save. It’s a good feature.
Just make manual save also save explicit checkpoints.
I loooove that this whole “rearrange ur software how u like” thing is so widespread is software.
like “oh yea I got these panels open cuz I use them. Those others, naw, I’m not an animator pffff”
Hamburger menus has to be up there with worst inventions ever, up there with nuclear weapons and leaded gasoline
Looks its aight if you want it in your shopping site or social media app.
Just keep it the fuck away from software people use to actually get shit done.
It is funny that we used to have status bars at the bottom and horizontal main menu’s back when we were rocking 1024*768 resolutions, and now at 2560*1440 app UI designers think they take up too much space and replace them with a hamperguy menu…
No, they have their use cases. For instance, they’re great on mobile devices, and… that’s really it.
not that that’s stopped GNOME
i hate the mobile design in desktop apps. i’m on a computer, i can handle squares
A colleague told me to „just use ClipChamp“ instead of an open source video editor, and it’s exactly that interface on the right. Obnoxious piece of corporate trash cooked up in a team that hates themselves, each other, and humanity. „Best“ of all, it puts everything in the Cloud and then you get an annoyed email from IT about your SharePoint usage.

hbomberguy time!
Adobe must die
Ironically the left hand photo looks like a Mac OS system 6 application, like MacPaint.
looks more like GIMP to me
You spelled slopware wrong
