  • As other mentioned, lack of physical buttons.

    Minimalistic interfaces in software:

    • In websites they waste a lot of real estate on the monitor.
    • They make harder to find things navigating menus and submenus that should have the settings you are looking for but they decided that it should be better to bury it somewhere else.

    Apps and websites copying the designs/colour scheme of popular ones. How many Slack looking websites are too much?

    Copying IKEA furniture design, I don’t like most of IKEA designs and the sensation of making your personal space identical to thousands of other people personal spaces. I don’t have an issue with IKEA itself, my issue is that you try to find alternatives looking elsewhere and is the same thing, sometimes inspired, sometimes a clear copy, and most of the time even worse quality.

    I’ve been looking for a wall shelf for almost a year and it seemed that every company, every store had the same ugly designs varying a little and with different prices. I’ve just bought one that it was the less ugly I could find, it was expensive and the materials quality is crap.





  • This exactly.

    It’s the ceremonial steps that precedes the listening experience that adds flavour to the enjoyment.

    If I want to just listen music and do other things I just use Apple Music + AirPods/Soundbar, but if I want to listen a certain album and make the experience more active, I use the record player.

    My music collection on vinyl is curated since each album involves a higher cost.

    There is also my fascination on analog things, I have an automatic turntable and love the orchestra of mechanical sounds from all the internal components.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that on streaming platforms sometimes the only version available is a remastered version that was rereleased on CD that fucked the dynamic range during the loudness war or is an edit of the original one.
