When i was a teen my work used some really old system where i could type faster than it would process so i kept a mental log of what i sent so far and only stopped typing when i needed feedback from the machine. Even then i think, if the user was presented with an interface looking thing it was an interface ready for input, even if it was going to take a few seconds to get to the input after it was sent

@reb@retro.social My PlayStation 3 is probably the worst for this though. Sometimes i will push the button 5 times to move 4 spaces and it will make 3 sounds. It's always missing random beats @djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange @djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology I have some thoughts on this that I'm too tired to articulate right now (it's 7pm and I've been up since 5am!) It basically boils down to: "modern computing interfaces are balanced delicately on top of 80 years worth of abstraction layered upon abstraction upon abstraction, of course it's jank af" Of course, the problem could be easily solved by having a search button instead of a dummy searchbar
