Brimg back double-clicking on the top left corner of a program to close it. Actually, bring back the top bar and the file menu while you're at it. And for software that opens tabs, allow the user to position the tabs bar on the bottom or side of the screen.

I don't watch others playing games, either, but someone who likes those streams told me he didn't see a difference between watching good gamers play games and good football players play football.

You are absolutely correct about the ambiguity and problematic emojis. The trigger issue was the usage of hearts as "kudos" reactions. That's where we use the thumbs-up emojis now.

The idea of a reference webpage is a good one, but with Slack allowing you to upload your own emojis (and us using some -- such as the Piccard facepalm and "modern solutions" meme), we'd have to be very careful to show only the default ones.

Those would be emojis not emoticons.

Thanks. I never knew the distinction between the two. These emojis are usually used as reactions in our company to indicate you read a post, are investigating, giving kudos, etc. We actually have an entire document in Confluence specifying which ones to use, for which reactions.

That's where I learned to type, and the double-space is so ingrained in my muscle memory I can't get rid of it. I also used to use lower case "L" for the number one, and upper case "O" for zero. I don't do the former, but occasionally I catch myself doing the latter.

Same here. I personally can't stand Bill Burr, regardless of how many of my friends tell me he's funny. With an f-word in nearly every sentence, I can't listen to him for more than a minute.

I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned. I still put two spaces after a full stop.

But I digress. The question was about other unwritten rules of texting. Over the past year, it's become frowned upon at my company (a multinational with around 130k employees) to use the default yellow emoticons. People are gently reminded to use the colour that most closely resembles their skin. This is for conversations over Teams and Slack.

Professionally: Waterfall release cycle kills innovation, and whoever advocates it should be fired on the spot. MVP releases and small, incremental changes and improvements are the way to go.

Personally: Don't use CSS if tables do what you need. Don't use Javascript for static Web pages. Don't overcomplicate things when building Web sites.

Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you'll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won't be long...

We have separate bathrooms, but I still have PTSD from the time I changed the skirting boards in hers.

The question implies war in Europe. The reality is that once the enemy breaks though Poland and Czechia (and even there I wouldn't put much credence into the latter), the rest of continental Europe will fold without a war. People will not flee, but gradually adjust to the new overlords. There may be small migration of the intelligentsia, which is in danger from any oppressive regime, but that will be likely in form of orderly emigration, rather than flight.

On the other hand, Anazon once shipped me a lightbulb for my oven in and envelope. It came nice and flat, in many, many pieces.
