@molly0xfff @beep it feels very much like a signal for “we spent a lot of money on this site” without conferring any user benefit whatsoever

@beep @molly0xfff Months ago I started responding by scrolling to page bottom and back up, to get all its animation out of its system. Sometimes this even works

@beep @molly0xfff I made every single element on a PowerPoint animate for an 8th grade presentation. This is giving the same energy.

@jeromechoo @beep @molly0xfff Back in the ‘90s, PowerPoint had an export to web function, which used a load of IE-only extensions to support all of the animations. As a result, IE could do any animation that PowerPoint could do.

I discovered this when ordering from a local pizza place at a friend’s house. He was the only person I knew still using IE and it turned out that what I’d thought was a fairly simple site (with a gratuitous number of background images) had weird transitions on every click. Looking at the page source, we found all of the non-standard CSS bits.

On the one hand, it’s nice that web standards have caught up with proprietary extensions. On the other hand, those extensions were an abomination unto Nuggan.
