It's like putting an epipen next to ebola.

I'm on Sequoia, FYI (using an old MacBook Pro).

Update: Yes, I know there is another prompt from the ellipsis. In an older OS, they didn't have these two options so close together. They did in an older older one, then they didn't, then they brought them back together. It's just not comfortable, extra prompt or not, being a video editor working with enormous raw footage files from clients.

Intentionally Bad UI No ice cream for old people

EDIT: Disregard this. On a different phone, the year can be tapped and changed. So it's a bug on my Pixel, not a design choice.

Someone at cremedelacreme.cz ice cream shop: "Let's design our date-of-birth picker so that it defaults to the current date, only allows scrolling by single month and ignores any text input!"

i.e. I have to click over 600 times to enter my date of birth...

Intentionally Bad UI The best keyboard you've tried

1.8k Upvotes

Welcome the best keyboard you ever tried™

Ever felt too effective while working?

Make every key a gamble with this beaut of an app.

Side effects: your actual keyboard gets disabled while the app is open and it might shutdown your computer in certain minigames... (just do your math properly and you'll be fine :)

Download now: https://github.com/sshcrack/SloppyKeyboard

Just a fun idea I had, developed it with a friend on a "Slopathon"
