    I hate when apps say “3 years ago” or whatever and don’t make it easy to see more specifically when. Just put it in an on-hover popup please. (Lemmy-UI does this just fine, but there are plenty of sites out there that don’t.)

      I was saying the same thing just the other day, although in my case it was for something that was ”2 days ago" - totally unhelpful if you need to know the time it was posted! Just put an absolute date and time (and a timezone stamp if necessary).

      I would argue that even on-hover popups are insufficient, because they normally don’t make it into screenshots and that’s the use-case where you’re most likely to really want to know the absolute timestamp.

    Imagine if you could still Google an error message and get relevant results. This comic is already like three years out of date.

    Once I searched about how to do something and I found a post that asked the same question that I had. The developer just said “we are already working on implementing that functionality, and it will be included in a new release soon!”. Then I realized the post was really, really old and new releases still hadn’t included that change.

    3,000 years: … users can no longer interpret your query and have turned it into a religion of their own making and design. This has spawned several schisms and now there are global wars occurring between different factions.

    Request: create a new role of “Share UX replacement”

    " Descriptionlb...@gmail.com created issue #1 Jun 2, 2021 12:26PM This is NOT a duplicate: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/178122249

    It’s a request to have a new role. It’s not a bug report. It’s not about some Intent that can’t be used.

    I request to be able to replace the sharing UX, as the one of Android lacks various features that I want, and even though I’ve requested them for a long time, it even got worse.

    I prefer to have a third party app that is made to be customizable than what Android has to offer built in. "
