It is really satisfying to be able to make something with your own hands, so that’s really cool. I should maybe think about taking it up in the winter when I am antsy and need to keep my hands busy or something. Ohhh I see I thought they were more of a fashion thing I like the color 💜 but that makes sense too, good luck to your hands!

Ahaha yeah that’s fair enough I suppose, all my relatives that I could be embarrassed by are gone :/

Yes I am defensive about it, ok bye.

That is so sweet! looks like you have been at it a while that’s some quality looking knitting. like your gloves btw!

I’ve been working with the web since the mid 90s I think I know what I’m talking about, but everyone has their own experience and perception. I love when people try to correct people when they have no idea who they are talking to, like you automatically know better? I think we’re talking about different things anyways, you are talking about programming and I am talking about the loss of all artistic merit from web design

I will watch music videos but that’s about it, but I’m a bit of an outlier as I never really got into watching videos or youtube in the first place

They all look like this, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Pluto, Hulu. If you can’t see the problem then I don’t know what to say, there is no design at all to the page it is just some movie posters on a page. It is boring and lazy and lacks any artistic skill or panache whatsoever. It’s just another way they are making the web into boring unimaginative shits as they are

Quite a few have popped up in the thread 😄

it’s not that I have nothing to hide, it’s that I have no shame :P

This is not really about the posters but the web design and a general lament for web design, those are also a problem tbh

It nothing to do with the posters, it’s the design and navigability of the web site, and the fact that every web site looks like the same uninspired piece of generic garbage, when design used to be important

frameworks allow you to accomplish stuff instead of just coding

Meh, what they did was just eventually phase out front end designers, now you just have these all in one guys doing everything and you can tell because it all looks like SHIT

Yes you are correct it’s mainly about the web site design, but the posters deserve their own post

Thanks you too 🥰

Well I’m certainly not paying for it haha. Yeah I agree, It’s just too bad that once again all the color and joy has to be taken out of something and replaced with boring corporate bullshit. Like web design in the 90s was fun and experimental and there are all different kinds of sites and everyone had different ideas and they were all valid, it was a blast, but I guess that’s kind of how things go once you’re given unlimited options. Working with just the constraints of HTML was challenging and then CSS came along and made things easier but then they just kept adding more shit to it and now it’s a bloat fest full of features that no designer will ever use to their potential because they don’t do creative design anymore, then they added all those JS frameworks and blah

Strange is my mana lol, I like it not only for the giraffe haha but the contast too not only the focus and color but the rusty machinery and the statue that looks like it might be from a merry go round… nice!

Oh my goodness thank you I finally feel vindicated like no one around me ever mentions anything about it, I do need some more friends lol, but yeah as someone who does design and appreciates good design and knows what a hell creatives put ourselves through to go through the process of making something people love and then it all gets reduced to garbage like this
