Fair enough there is a reason but you're still trading ease of development for the dev with something on the side of the end user, who might not consider it a good tradeoff. I haven't filled my hard drive with games and movies, I've filled it with programs that bundle a bunch of libraries for things I may not use. A user won't say that the program makes up for functionality by being small but they may not install it at all if it's too big (which I've definitely done).

You're right it's about priorities but I don't think ignoring size and loading times is a tradeoff most people would accept.

I feel that's more of an unpopular opinion than the original post. I absolutely care about the size of a program, especially if there is no reason for that size.

True a UI doesn't have to be pretty but it has to be usable/provide a good experience. To me at least a bad GUI is much worse than a terminal interface. Which is also a UI, just not graphical. I don't write desktop apps with GUIs so I'm not sure how complex it is but it probably depends a lot on the language. If the initial project is using C for example I'd expect adding a GUI to be more of a pain than if it was written in Visual Basic.

Not exactly a long line but super slow. It was for a university examination where we just answered some questions about a project we did through the semester, so it shouldn't have taken this long. They didn't have a good place to host this so we were about 100 people waiting in 2 hallways without any chairs. We were split into groups based on our student id number. There was a general disorganization but our group seemed particularly slow. I think my initial time of examination was 6pm. I went second to last in my group and ended up leaving at 9:15. The university officially closes at 9. There were actually people who had assigned times in the morning and had to wait longer so it turns out I wasn't that unlucky.

If you exclude the progressively smaller furniture I think I've been to some IKEAs that felt like this.

Maybe because you hear your voice every time you speak but rarely in recordings so the difference is more jarring. Most people don't spend all day looking at a mirror but probably see photos of themselves more often than they hear recordings.

I say that too then never follow it. In my defence it's usually a beer bottle

I've chipped part of my teeth at least twice bringing a bottle to my mouth. At this point I've accepted the sides of my front teeth will always look a bit messed up.

Fair enough, I haven't used USB 4, my comment was more applicable to 3. But it should be noted to not test cheap cables on expensive devices.

Cables are already pretty cheap without being of super questionable quality. I wouldn't risk my electronics trying out a cable I thought was fake.

That's some perfect timing as I came across Kongen Befaler like three days ago. It seems the reddit links also have subtitles which is really useful, thanks. And yeah I've also noticed a lot of actors and singers seem to have a more western accent. Duolingo definitely doesn't prepare you for that.

I've been learning Norwegian on and off for some time now. What I always found interesting is how much I can understand from written Swedish and Danish (+ Nynorsk) while still having difficulty with even basic spoken Norwegian if it isn't the most common Oslo accent.
