So far, as far as I can tell, the world of online 3D model sharing is utterly morally bankrupt from a UX perspective. Well, from just about any perspective, actually.

Thingiverse doesn't actually let me to upload anything?

Pinshape doesn't have a built in 3D viewer?

Sketchfab had the model upside-down; doesn't let you rotate more than 180 up-down so there's no way to see the model right-side-up?

Shapways explodes saying the model is too big physically (not data wise); doesn't have any way to scale the model to the max allowed size automagically or manually?

3D Warehouse doesn't accept STL files?

i love how day in day out git has to remind me, rub my nose in just how bad its ux is, yay fun hoo hah!

things like:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@example.com:user/darepo.git'

or pretty much anything and everything about the win git client. like how the text fields don't support right click, like to have a menu with a 'paste' command in it.

If you ask me, "Ticketmaster" should really more honestly be renamed "Blatantly Obvious Usability Train Wreck (and Gouger)." Oh brother.

Have I mentioned recently how good I think The Peanuts Movie is? I mean, don't get your hopes up before seeing it. Assume the worst then be pleasantly surprised.
Computers are, as a rule, just awful. Mostly because humans are idiots or just plain greedy and cheap. Funny thing how the Ubuntu installer asked me if I wanted it to download updates and I said yes and then after it is done and I do sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade there are a zillion things it wants to update after all. What! Ever! Don't even get me started on how "just" adding in a pci-e nvidia graphics card causes the machine to lose all ability to actually, you know, display anything. Etc. ad nauseum.

Your internet site sucks. I hate it. Loathe it. Despise it. It drives me completely nuts.

Whoever you are.

The World is Run by Idiots #47: Seems like every email gift card thing I've ever seen fails to have an option where I can send email and have a usmail card following it up.
