English is slightly ambiguous here. As tighten has 2 meanings. Turning a screw clockwise is to tighten it, as opposed to loosen it anticlockwise. But it’s quite loose. Finally, to make it tight and secure, you tighten it with one last turn.

Me in shop: I want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner. Do you have one of those sweary ones?

In this case I wouldn’t associate the poor usability with the designers, I think its down to big business not caring. Plus it costs more to make a UI good, and flexible for different user situations. They’ll also hire the cheapest designers. It’s all about saving money and more profit. Their main aim. And in the case of monopolies, people can’t go elsewhere. The problems all come down from the top.

For some, with only a small screen, wasted space means extra navigation to find hidden commands. A usability fail just so the app looks pretty. Also a symptom of “one UI fits all” just to save businesses money.

Yes. To a typist, it’s all about the typing. The design, engineering and drawings don’t seem to be important it seems.

It’s a centralised network. They need to make maximum profit and don’t need to care about users, because they won’t leave whatever nasty thing happens. Being on there encourages friends and family to stay and suffer too. And keeps people off of decentralized networks.

I’m surprised people stay on Facebook, then grizzle about how bad they’ve helped it become.

Not being fast at typing does not mean you are not tech savvy. There is more to tech than typing. Like an architect doesn’t need to be good at brick-laying to be a good architect.

Twitter was a cess pit before Musk took over. It had gone the way of most centralised networks. People won’t leave or they get cut off and lose their followers. Networks know this, and stop caring. Twitter still exists because selfish people won’t leave. Never join any centralised network. You are helping it go bad. Musk did a good thing in chasing millions off of Twitter. Some stay on there and grizzle about the mess, they themselves, made, and blame it all on Musk.

I might be an idiot, but I’m not going to use a Mac.

This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.
