I don't think either were perfect designs, they were both pioneering and can be respected for that, neither were a "mess". At the time I personally preferred the feel of the N64's analog stick since it was directionally biased in 8 directions which works better for games of the time, and met expectations of the time. My main problem with the DualShock is that they stuck with it while they should have, in my opinion, swapped the left stick with the d-pad for the PS2 onwards.

I would say the DualShock is worse; never liked the placement of the thumb sticks at the bottom but apparently that's just me.

Wait, why is Fedora making their own flatpaks? I thought the entire point is that they work on any distro and everybody gets the original source from flathub.

Just to add to the other replies you've got, as far as I'm aware there's no reason why you can't add Fedora's flatpak repo on another distro. Why you would want to is another matter, but I think the fact that anyone can make their own repo is the fundamental strength of flatpak as opposed to snaps; it's not tied to one organisation, Flathub is the de facto central repo but it doesn't always have to be.

Most of those things are kind of a matter of taste though aren't they? If you change those kinds of things you'll get other people complaining who like it as it is now. For example for me I think the default UI is excellent and the alternative ones I've tried are mostly terrible, but I know not everyone thinks the same way.

Other complaints are instance-specific but that's a good thing; instances can operate how they like because we have a choice, that's the whole benefit to Lemmy and federation.

OK but that's still no explanation. I want to understand the problem deeper than "it's bad".

I'm not getting what the UX problems are, and if you change things aren't there just going to be new problems with the changes? I think the default experience is a lot better than Reddit at least.

Now that I could get behind, although shredding files has taken on a different meaning now (i.e. overwriting files so they are irrecoverable).

Not really, no. We might add a word or two to clarify the kind of waste but not a different word entirely.

What's ICE, that's a difficult acronym to search?

Unfortunately mine says flashlight which is a mild annoyance since it doesn't flash.
