  • Maybe the cosmetic changes are simply a small addition to more important changes under the hood?

    To be honest, the tabs tray is mostly just cosmetic changes. The under the hood changes were done last year. That said, there’s still some significant changes with things being consolidated, which makes management easier. There’s a lot of work being put in to make Firefox feel and act like more of a first-class citizen on Android.










  • With all due respect, designers design, coders implement and managers make decisions.

    The UI has needed a refresh for a while and as they’ve updated the UI to move away from legacy implementations, they’re switching to newer and faster implementations that allow for features to be implemented. Prime example, before switching the tabs tray to compose, private tabs couldn’t even be rearranged.

    Everyone wants new features and thinks they just pop up out of nowhere and reality dictates that it’s not that easy.

    Currently they’re in the middle of getting the new menu and toolbars to look and work correctly. Using a design that isn’t available in Chrome.

    I wish people would see a therapist about their Mozilla angst or at least get well enough informed to talk actual factual shit



  • doctors having to service too many patients

    This a million times over. A couple years ago, I was in ICU on the brink of death and it’s been a slow and arduous journey getting myself back to health. Part of that is me wanting to join a gym but my blood pressure has been high since my stint in the hospital. Two months ago the gym wrote to my doctor and asked for authorisation to let me work out. I got nothing back so went there twice over the past week to ask the doctor why they aren’t taking it seriously. On the second trip, a receptionist said the doctor was busy, she had cancer patients and would get back to me eventually. Luckily someone else stepped in before I lost my rag at the unnecessary provocation. My doctor eventually phoned me in the evening with zero recollection of our last conversation, I can only assume she didn’t read her own notes. She then wanted to send me to the hospital for an ECG and I’m like WTF, if I can do it on my watch, why can’t the surgery do it. I would’ve happily gone to the hospital two months ago, but where they dragged their heels or I slipped through the cracks, it’s not on me, it’s on them to take responsibility for my health. All these doctors take on more patients than they can handle because each patient gets them a couple grand a week, but they don’t do the things that should earn that money like being the general manager for your healthcare or following anything up.
