  • I saw a video about a support group for NK defectors in SK.

    The main reasons for some people regret leaving NK were:

    • They were born and raised in a rural environment without any technology and in SK you must know to use a digital device for almost all jobs.
    • They miss family, friends, their environment, etc. They are now in a very strange place without the people from their lives.
    • Some are treated as second class citizens, targeted cause being tech illiterate and having a noticeable different accent.


  • As other mentioned, lack of physical buttons.

    Minimalistic interfaces in software:

    • In websites they waste a lot of real estate on the monitor.
    • They make harder to find things navigating menus and submenus that should have the settings you are looking for but they decided that it should be better to bury it somewhere else.

    Apps and websites copying the designs/colour scheme of popular ones. How many Slack looking websites are too much?

    Copying IKEA furniture design, I don’t like most of IKEA designs and the sensation of making your personal space identical to thousands of other people personal spaces. I don’t have an issue with IKEA itself, my issue is that you try to find alternatives looking elsewhere and is the same thing, sometimes inspired, sometimes a clear copy, and most of the time even worse quality.

    I’ve been looking for a wall shelf for almost a year and it seemed that every company, every store had the same ugly designs varying a little and with different prices. I’ve just bought one that it was the less ugly I could find, it was expensive and the materials quality is crap.
