Я просто не могу понять, на мой взгляд ВК систематически продолжает принимать максимально плохие продуктовые решения. С моей точки зрения это выглядит, будто бы какая-то компания выпускает ложку с дырой посередине, и дыру всё увеличивают. В мою картину мира просто не укладывается: какая аудитория и при каких условиях может использовать ложку с дырой посередине.
ВК выпустили обновление ленты рекомендаций "Для вас", и это и по интерфейсу и по контенту просто максимально плохо. Причем, если почитать комментарии под этой новостью вообще где угодно, то люди точно так же, как я, массово офигевают.
Я знаю, что мои вкусы не универсальны, и что я не владею всей информацией. Меня бесит Инстаграм, но я понимаю причины его популярности. Меня бесит ТикТок, и вообще истерия современного интернета по поводу коротких вертикальных видео — их пихают абсолютно везде, даже там, где они не пришей кобыле хвост — но и такое явление не выходит совсем уж за пределы моего представления об устройстве мира. Даже люди, которые всерьёз используют Фейсбук, находятся где-то на границе понимания для меня.
Но какой продуктовый менеджер и для какой именно аудитории может выкатить стену неструктурированного визуального мусора, нарушающую даже самые банальные UI/UX-принципы, и усиливающую недостатки и без того отвратительно работающей системы рекомендаций? Обрезанные мемы, фотографии случайных предметов без важного контекста, максимально тупые клипы для имбецилов (да, слева вверху мужик с женскими трусами на голове), ещё и с автовоспроизведением. И это всё двухмерной простынёй в интерфейсе, который во всех остальных местах используют для быстрого визуального поиска чего-то заранее известного, чтобы специально ни на чём не фокусировать взгляд и не задерживать внимание.
Я не понимаю, как и зачем это делается. Почему никто из сотрудников ВК не рассказывает своим внутри о том, что этот экран вызывает только желание немедленно его закрыть и больше никогда не видеть? Почему никто из сотрудников ВК не читает комментарии людей под новостями о нововведениях?
Я знаю, что хейтить ВК это уже пошлятина. Но найдите мне одного человека, которому правда нравится, и пусть он мне объяснит свой взгляд на вещи. Потому что я не могу отойти от шока: какая-то важная часть понимания мира ускользает от меня.

Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s top aide and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski bragged that he could do “whatever” he wanted as a powerful federal official because he believed President Trump would pardon him, The Post has learned.
The political pit bull made the remark on multiple occasions tied to his work as a special government employee, sources revealed in the wake of the DHS duo’s downfall.
“I’m not worried. I do whatever the f–k I want. DJT will pardon me,” Lewandowski told one of The Post’s sources last year — making the flippant aside during a discussion about official actions.

HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM has been at the center of the Trump administration’s marquee domestic policy: overhauling the federal government’s immigration bureaucracy to better serve the president’s vision of ongoing mass deportations. 🌍🚫
But even as she’s carried out these tasks with abject fealty to her boss, her standing in the administration has grown less stable. 🤔 For weeks, a rumor has been circulating in political circles that Noem may soon be on the outs. It briefly surfaced in a CNN report a few weeks back that listed her first among the cabinet officials who could be caught in a year-end turnover, noting that while Trump himself has been happy with Noem, top White House officials have grown frustrated with her tenure—specifically, her employment of her divisive and combustible chief adviser, Corey Lewandowski. 🗳 Noem has downplayed any tensions or concerns. And in a text to me, Lewandowski called bullshit on any talk of turnover. “None of that is true,” he said Thursday evening. 📱

The state of Illinois has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, accusing them of using dangerous enforcement tactics and unlawful use of force by federal immigration agents conducting sweeping immigration raids and arrests

Many of the “worst of the worst” criminals touted by ICE Barbie Kristi Noem on a new DHS website have only been convicted of “traffic offenses.”
More than two dozen of the supposed horror criminals whose mugshots are plastered on the site—under a banner declaring they are the “worst criminal aliens arrested”— list traffic offenses as their only crime, a Daily Beast review can reveal.
Those “offenders,” all placed in ICE custody this year, do not appear to have been convicted of serious traffic crimes, as drunk driving, driving while high, hit and runs, and carjackings are specified offenses on the site.

Airports in more than a half-dozen U.S. markets have declined to display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames congressional Democrats for the government shutdown and any related travel delays, citing the political nature of its content, according to local authorities.
Officials that oversee airports serving Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, said the video could violate internal policies that bar political messaging or contravene state or federal laws that prohibit the use of public resources for political activity.
“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport. Enacted in 1939, the Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in politics while on the job and is meant to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion.

🗳️🕵️ Kristy Noem said that her department will help "the right people" choose the "right leaders".
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristy Noem is once again at the center of the scandal. At a press conference in Arizona, she said, "she has the authority to identify 'vulnerabilities' in the electoral system and 'apply risk mitigation measures' to ensure that local and regional elections are 'conducted correctly.'" These words provoked a sharp reaction from politicians and experts.
They recalled that DHS is responsible for homeland security and immigration, not elections. Noem stated that she was only talking about the non-admission of non-citizens to vote.

Donald Trump has sidelined Kristi Noem and ordered her longtime rival to lead a rapidly deteriorating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis.
'I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. 'Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.'
