In principle I agree>!!<, but in practice it’s not clear cut.

The main one is some historic accuracy, I say some because the color of the skin doesn’t really matter for most things set in some time period or era where a race wasn’t particularly present.

The second one is just how it looks, we’ll see how well casting Snape for the new Harry Potter goes as it seems to be Harry’s father is bullying the weird black kid. Another one is the Artemis Fowl movie which cases a woman as leader for the Fairy unit, which undermines the actual accomplishment of Holly being the first to get here place as a woman. It’s not the end of the world, but it changes the tone and plot.

Probably not the end of the world, but these problems fall on the same line as other poor adaption/remake choices that actively hurt the story is try to tell. Not everyone can fit into a role in a story, and I don’t think that’s systematic discrimination. And I reiterate, it largely depends on the setting of the story. For most things, gener and race is not a big factor.

It’s not helping unfortunately, it’s just a blanket change in colors by some filter. The taskbar highlight is bad to begin with. Ideally the should use red/orange for warning highlights and used bright white. But a weak pink isn’t going to be more visible even if it was turned redish. It’ll still be weak.

And it does change every other thing on screen, which won’t be good for me since colors aren’t an issue normally, and even worse if it affect screen sharing. Taskbar changes is just straight up bad UX that tries to look good.

My experience with W11 on the work laptop.

Taskbar sucks, maybe because I’m colorblind but I can te what my selected program is and programs with notifications (Teams) look like the focused program. Apparently notification boxes there are pink now. Can’t find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess. It feels wrong to click the highlighted icon I for years have learned will mean that I minimize it…

And why all the dots? And why is the notification dot the largest, so I can even tell which window is actually focused?

Outlook doesn’t open with focus, especially the window that is supposed to pop up and warn me of upcoming meetings. Really annoying.

Teams notifications just don’t show if you are in a meeting and that is focused, they used to do that on W10.

Might be a Firefox bug, but there’s a lot of new visual bugs. Github diff view is randomly strongly colored, and randomly changes to the old weaker background colors when scrolling/resizing the windows. And a surprising amount of scrollbars in grids that weren’t there before.

I just wish W11 at least worked with the regular features of W10.

I use it for coding (rarely pure copy paste), explaining code, use/examples, finding tools to use. Better translation than Google translate for Japanese. Asking for things that search engines only gives generic results for.
