What do you think about screens in movies and television?
Personally, I hate it, and have abandoned many productions because of it.
In most cases:
- you can see that they are artificial
- interfaces don't make sense. Often the cursor is missing, etc.
But Searching and Missing showed that if there are willingnesses, it is possible not only to prepare well, but to base an entire film on them.
As long as they aren't parodies I don't really care. I find this is more common when Apple products are used.
There's a few UnixPorn communities out there ( !unixporn@lemmy.ml ) and I think they really demonstrate how varied UIs can be.
If you are using a tiling window manager like i3 you might not have a cursor for example.
