Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever? | Ubuntu Summit 25.10

Non-designers think of UX/UI as pixels-only: icons

jwz: Now I have two problems (Mastodon PHP comments)
Lazyweb, why doesn't this regexp match in Perl 5.32.1, 5.34.3 or 5.18.2 but does in PHP and JS: perl -le 'print 0 + ("ABCDE" =~ m/ABCF|BCDE|C(G)/);' Changing nearly any character, including the C before the G, or removing the parens, makes it match.
