It really pisses me off that Firefox hides the scrollbar and only shows it when I actually scroll. What the bloody fuck is that bullshit!? It can be fixed in about:config by changing layout.testing.overlay-scrollbars.always-visible to true as I found out by experimenting.

@lyse I wish it would just respect the global GTK setting for that … 🙄

(Regarding hidden scroll bars and not knowing whether an area can be scrolled or not, here’s a conversation I had recently with a younger non-tech person:

- Him: “Uhh, $older_person got stuck using Element (that Matrix client) on their phone again. Can you help?”
- Me: “Yeah, I can take a look. He probably just tapped every item on the screen and ended up in some weird sub menu.” (A little bit of “that’s not how you do things” in my voice.)
- Him: “Hm, isn’t that how you do it? How else would you know where to tap?”

Total bliss. That feeling of “oh, I know, that’s a button that I can click” is completely lost to newer generations of computer users. Modern UIs have so little indication of *what kind of elements* are shown on the screen and *what you can do with them* that users just … try every pixel. Tap here, swipe there, see what happens. Is this really a good way to do UIs? Am I just old and grumpy?)

@movq I fully agree with you. These are all big steps backwards. That contributes to why I hate using smartphones with a great passion. Unusable shit to me. To quote a mate: Auf den Scheiterhaufen mit diesen Möchtegerndesignerhampeln, die immer alles nur schlimmer machen. (Ok, that's enough negativity for tonight. ;-))
