I deal with software that uses a funnel icon for a filter button.

A funnel is what you use to dump anything into a vessel.
A filter is what you use to retain some things dumped out of a vessel.


Icons will always suck for the end user.
I deal with software that has literally 0 end user input on design.

And for 2 decades, our users have asked for larger, darker fonts.

This year, the fonts got smaller, and went light greyscale on the color.

There at 0 colors in the software unless you save some work, and an annoying green pop up confirms it. Or a huge red pop up confirms the company has 0 interest in delivering a quality product.

Never has, and never will.

Why should they?
They are in the business of making money.

It is cheaper and more profitable to sell more units of shoddy product to more consumers than it is to make one that is a joy to work with.

Which is why, in tech support, the job security is bullet proof.
You just have to resign that you work for idiots, but that is a good thing.

If they made a product like a Maytag washing machine, you would end up like Jessie White, going home each evening to Myrtle Mae and getting egg and onion sandwiches.
Don't get me wrong.
Myrtle Mae is smoking hot, and i would if I could. Of course, her screwy relatives would drive me nuts.
Anyway, what were we talking about?
Floppies. Right.
You could fit about three memes on one.
That's how you explain floppies to kids.
It is the size of a pack of ball cards you get gum with, but only holds 3 memes.
Whadda mean you don't know what ball cards are?
Get off my f$#king lawn you little shiats
