Comment More drivel from a company we already should avoid (Score 4, Informative) 33

From personal experience I find Klarna to be a company that hides financing contracts in simple purchases where you expect them to just be the card transaction processer. Then they do not communicate with seller and steamroll you for already returned goods and cancelled purchases. Avoid! At least their ads will be even easier to avoid once ai makes em all meaningless repeating drivel.

Comment This is why people hesitate to install "updates" (Score 3, Insightful) 81

If we could just get the security updates and bug fixes it would be fine.
However, most of the updates seem to be new features people do not want, or that just adds features with more vulnerabilities.
I for one just want my computer to keep working like it is. If it isn't broken do not change it. If there is something new that I just feel is a must have, I can install it myself. Opt-in, not opt-out!

Comment Graphics designers need to feel useful (Score 2) 92

Once the visual expression of an app, website or "map service" is refined over several years into a very efficient and well thought out design graphic designers seem to go into a runt and maybe they start fearing for their jobs? I can't come up with any better explanation why complete overhauls like this are pushed as necessary.

This isn't limited to Google for sure. Microsoft seem to employ new teams for every update or iteration of their office suites for example, and their main hobby (and budget drain?) is to change the UI to waste as much real-estate as possible, for then to hide all useful functions to reclaim said real-estate.
