No unionist majority in Northern Ireland for the first time ever; Sinn Féin the largest party in Ireland for the first time ever.

Some bits have gotten better (the new input style = good improvement), some bits remain pretty bad (FABs = terrible UX), and I know the system is intended as a themeable baseline—my complaint is mainly with how Google themselves have implemented it.

Potentially controversial opinion: I think Google's Material Design is a bit crap.

Like, the thought underpinning it is (mostly) sound, but I find the most recent version of it just kinda aesthetically bleh and surprisingly hard to parse in my limited experience as a user.

Star Trek memes is having a fun time.

@ripp_ holy crap it worked??

@Thaminga shit that's probably better than I could do

@ripp_ It makes sense for apps or websites though, doesn't it? It probably costs pennies for the bandwidth/storage to have one additional user, so a 70% discount is likely still profitable and gets folks through the door.

@ripp_ Probably. In interior design you often put walls of mirrors up to make spaces feel larger.

Microsoft seem keen to position themselves as better and more hip and happening with good design and practices, but good god some of the code they put out is still utter bollocks.

Honestly how the ever-loving fuck did Microsoft manage to make a “customisable” SSO solution where the login, registration, and forgotten password pages all use totally different HTML to output the exact same fields????!!!!

Well shit eBay why don’t you tell us who won then, jeez.

Well, it's a lot cheaper than the real thing.

Draft of govt’s replacement to the Common Agricultural Policy falls well short of EU’s environmental and wildlife protection standards. Quelle surprise.

@ripp_ yes exactly

Fun fact: There have only been five Catholic popes named Sixtus.

This causes me physical pain.

UUURREGGGGGHJHHHHHHHH

@ripp_ Apparently it doesn't exist yet (https://github.com/DagAgren/toot/issues/376)
