Have you considered merging efforts with Where Is Public Toilet? Service has existed for many years and seems to have a decent amount of locations in Winnipeg

There is already an app for this, called Where Is Public Toilet that covers most of north America and parts of Europe

So don't make the modifications at all if it's going to make it a nuisance?

There are non-liquid chemical attacks that could be facilitated from something like anthrax to powdered pepper spray. Disallowing liquids does nothing to stop those

they can harass you for non-liquids too. I honestly don't even know anymore I've had so many random things confiscated. My favorite was a wine bottle opener which got me into trouble after many years of flying in my bag... in France facepalm

Being told you're gifted often isn't a self fulfilling prophecy, and can easily lead to failure or giving up when being gifted isn't working.

"Giving up when things get too hard" is a gift in itself. Not everyone is good at knowing when to stop.

I'd say that applies extremely rarely. When success depends on putting in the work (which is most often the case, especially if you have a higher aptitude than most), giving up easily is a major impediment.

I say this as someone who had this problem myself. Always being told "things come so easily to you" made me immediately avoid everything where I didn't excel out of the gate.

Not only that, they dynamically change the poster to try to make it more appealing to each person and it still fails miserably.

They wrote a blog post (that I can't seem to find) a few years ago about how they A/B test their thumbnails.

Doesn't seem to work well in Firefox, the effect is very different from the sample images and the text is borderline unreadable

Weird. I've tested it with Firefox (on Windows and Mac OS). What OS are you on?

I think I'm running into the same issue, Windows 11 Firefox 109.0.1. The "ridge" of the reflection effect is stuck to the lower ~10% of the button, and completely dark, and the gold looks distinctly green.

Left is firefox, right is Edge (appearing, I presume, as intended)

Working fine for me using Firefox 109 on Ubuntu 22.04.

I agree the style itself isn't very good but I think the "lesson" was in differentiating primary and secondary actions to make it obvious

Still wrong. As was the one where half the guitar is cut off to “fill the space”. It’s like zooming in on a 4:3 tv show and cutting the top and bottom off.

Same here. Stopped after this one because I kept being told that dark patterns were correct.

This site is a disservice to the entire field of UI design, not to mention the users. At the very least they could have explained _why_ de-emphasizing secondary options or cropping information out of photos is "more correct"

To the site author: your suggestions considered harmful, just give me my 90s-era UI design back, please.

Yes, I kind of bristled at the arrogant word "correct". Correct in what sense? What metric does the "correct" side boost over the "incorrect" one? How was correctness measured? Is it correct simply because it conforms to some document that some company wrote? Most of the choices to my eye are subjective and could go either way.

Then again, I'm not a UI designer. But I wonder what a UI designer thinks of someone boiling his/her design judgement down to a simple 'correct vs. incorrect' choice.

The "correct" would be just using different background. Hell, if you want to guide users put a gray background on skip option at least.

The page instead just makes it white, like it wasn't a button at all and we can only guess by the word only making sense for button

You fill the space so that in a screen with 20 of those cards, they all have the same visual weight, no random dispersed white blocks. The purpose of the picture at this point is decoration to identify a product type, not showing you details of the guitar - you'd see that once you open the product page. Your comment is like complaining that an A3 poster for a TV show doesn't show the full scene.

In a website context I think you're wrong, using a scale instead of a crop would result in every image on your page having a different aspect ratio, since the uploaded images probably don't have size constraints.

That would look absolutely whacky. Especially in responsive design, where the aspect ratio of the parent container changes with screen width.

The difference is that thumbnail images aren't TV shows, it doesn't really matter if the image is cut off. Its not supposed to have literal information, its just a contextual hint of what that element is doing / is related to.

The concept of primary actions is the dark pattern - as a general concept, maybe it's useful to have tiers of actions by complexity, picking actions for your users is the dark pattern.

Using color to differentiate actions is OK, if you are doing styling actions those are different than, say, templating actions.

Promoting obfuscation or misdirection as good design is inexcusable.

I guess I'm missing the point because it seems to me like almost all of this can be accomplished in native Firefox. If I want to search my open tabs I just type a % in the address bar with my query and it searches my tabs. If I want to search for a bookmark (which doesn't seem meaningfully different from a star) I use a * instead of %. ^ is for history. For recently visited tabs I can ctrl+tab. Clean is basically close all except pinned but it also includes the tab playing audio.

Oh I wished searching tabs (%) weren't broken by Mozilla's extension "Firefox Multi-account Containers"

Too much is broken by that extension, I uninstalled it.

I use Multi-Account Containers all the time, in every profile, on every machine.

So I wonder: what features do you use, which are broken by this extension, and which I am therefore missing out on?

(Aside from GP's searching tabs with %, which I didn't know was broken but does have a workaround in Sidebery)

For the navigation of recent history there is the Tab Session Manager extension.
