I call it the "War on Scrollbars" and I think it started when some meme about watching a teacher use a computer got popular. https://old.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/comments/df8cd/watching_someone_use_a_computer/

I absolutely hate how tiny scrollbars have gotten. I hate how clicking in a certain spot cause the scrollbar to move slightly instead of jumping directly to where I click.

These are modern design decisions that I think shitty designers implemented because they need to feel useful. Then, autistic users who want nothing on their screen praise them for it.

It's disgusting and I hope, one day, we can look back on how the 2010s were the worst decade for software design so far.

What does autism have to do with scrollbars?

Why would you want to make it jump directly? You can just hold until it gets there. If the content is excesively long, then the problem would be the designer

Lol.

Rather than argue with people like you (which is a waste of time), I'd settle for a setting.

Gonna block you now.

Nah it's fine I think I mandela'd or gaslighted myself. I'm also gonna downvote my failure

That meme has nothing to do with scroll bars though...

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ironic that you didn't scroll far enough to see the bit about the scroll bar 🧐

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also, linking to a shitty reddit post that forces me to open an imgur link that then again forces me to click the damn picture to be able to see it well enough to read is just stupid as well.

You mean... the source? Lol.

Anyways, gonna block ya now.

Have a good day.

Fuck you bitch ass.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lol... The scroll wheel is vastly superior to the scroll bar so that part is just stupid.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Christ on a bike mate, that's the point of the comic. You need to stop skimming things and actually start reading and understanding

[–] atetulo@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Umm... what?

At the very bottom, in big bold letters, it says "NOT USING SCROLL WHEEL" when someone using the scrollbar.

Lol. It feels like ya'll just say dumb shit to get a reply.
