Sometimes people manage other computers so it’s not practical to configure all of them and you can’t trust what people have configured for the power button

I saw other people mentioning managing multiple computers in an offise space. I wouldn’t trust that everybody wound configure the power button action.
It’s an easier click target when it’s in the corner. Moving cursor from the middle to the corner is negligible for me since I can reach the whole screen with relatively minor mouse movement.
In the end it’s a muscle memory thing for me. Having the button in the middle just means I have to look for it in a different location than I’ve used to over the years.
But wont this change how search is displayed? Honestly, I hope I can keep my alphabetical order. Learning some algorithmic categorization is not what I want to spend my time at work.
I just Alt + F4 from the desktop or just press the power button. I always change it to regular old shutdown.
Never thought about ultrawide screens, that makes sense. Other than that I see no improvement whatsoever. Corner space is way easier to hit with a mouse, but even when using keyboard shortcuts having it in the middle is just an additional adjustment from what it used to be.
An OS should get out of my way and let me do what I do. Changing design language forces me to relearn what I had already had a flow for. In other words it’s utterly useless.
And I just know I’m gonna hate that automatic categorisation of apps, just as I hate web searches from start menu. Alphabetical order is predictable, but this I’d have to relearn.
Ok, offline functionality does make sense
Why use an app when there’s a web site? In case of Wikipedia I fail to see any functional benefit for an app.
uBlock usually blocks those cookie pop-us for me, didn’t really noticed them.
Slap Google SSO on that and you’re good. Honestly that’s worse than regular registration.
The outlined issues don’t seem to be lemmy exclusive, but then again, I’ve spent quite a short time here.
The toxicity is caused by the society, not by the platform. From my experience, one can always find a more toxic subreddit.
Reddit is just as much moderated by volunteers, that’s the reason I started using reddit. Also, having corporate admins doesn’t make the platform any more spam resistant.
If anything I would expect these problems to be more prevalent in smaller (lemmy) platforms and stabilize with growth to reddits level.
Now I’m not trying to defend lemmy, but being even more community driven I want it to succeed and become what reddit used to be.
I wouldn’t consider it superior, just different, in case of a keyboard shortcut.
