skeuomorphism

New word learned.

For the lazy: it's a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.

For instance : a lamp in the shape of a candle, or the folders in a operating system.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
