Not sure. Just one of the ones I remember enjoying the most as a small child.

Mr Uppity for sure.

Only office is basically the same interface again, all cloning MS-office 2007-2010.

Bleach.

I love filter views, no real complaints there except that other people can’t manage to figure out the difference between filtering the whole sheet and setting up a filter view.

Tables seem kind of pointless but better than a separate database app I guess?

Not sure about “little pills”, do you mean the drop downs? That’s in validation, and it’s a little odd but better both in interface and function than Excel. There’s really only one version and two ways to do it: “data validation” and “insert drop-down” (the latter is just a shortcut to the former, but with relevant options selected). Checkboxes are the same (both live in the insert menu).

I’ve never known the “paste style” menu, I mostly use keyboard shortcuts when pasting. I might be misunderstanding what you’re describing there.

Some of it is just familiarity but I found Google sheets to be a breath of fresh air and still find Excel just painful.

Although Google has really gotten pretty cluttered lately as they add features and slap them in whatever menu they pick at random.

Similar but with an interface that refuses to do anything new for 20 years.

That’s okay, it was a correction not a criticism.

It’s “slew” not “slayed”.

“Algorithmic steering” is okay as long as the algorithm is relatively straightforward, public, and well-understood.

The problem is when the corpos tweak it to suit their mass-market advertisers.

Awesome. That seems like the way to go then!

Are there good alternatives?

I feel like forums really fell behind the times, with shitty threading systems and awkward text formatting interfaces and the horror that is bbcode.

Meanwhile discord handles image embedding gracefully, with markdown formatting and previews.

What’s the next-gen forum system that’s keeping up with modern times? Is there a part of the fediverse that meets this?

Discourse seems the most modern, but not sure if it is open, let alone federated.

Lemmy almost fills it but tends to be too ephemeral and doesn’t handle multiple forums/channels for one broad topic.

What would you prefer?

It’s both, and they are in a sense the same.

Cheaper less skilled or less experienced programmers take longer to get similar results. One week with a a skilled programmer is a lot more value than one week with an unskilled programmer.

Even more if you want to invest some of that experienced programmer time to get the new guy up to speed.

As long as it has a better interface I’ll be happy. Looking forward to trying this.

I mean, I guess: if you think their job is to be a shitty incompetent CEO.

Im not saying they need to know how to do the job of everyone at the company, but they certainly should know what their company does and how.

No… that the people running the show who should know how the businesses they make decisions for actually work.

The fact that google maps does not use a projection where direct routes appear as straight lines, that planes take great circle routes, and that there are hubs which make direct point-to-point flights less efficient should be no surprise to anyone, let alone the CEO of a logistics company, for whom it is literally their job to know how this shit works.

The first is the only way that makes sense, the second too easily becomes post-grease-queue-el. Which is horrible.

What’s the difference? Those read the same to me. Do you mean that you want a strong gap between “gre” and the S in S-Q-L?
