Colossal · Meet Tatsuo Horiuchi, the 77-Year-Old Artist Who 'Paints' Japanese Landscapes With ExcelFor over 15 years, Japanese artist Tatsuo Horiuchi has rendered the subtle details of mountains, cherry blossoms, and dense forests with the most unlikely tool: Microsoft Excel.

"Due to an administrative error, the waiting list data previously provided to the Regional Health Forum West Members was incorrect. This occurred due to the miscalculation of the OT excel spreadsheet whereby only one tab of the excel sheet was provided rather than the full total.

Just ran into a brutal #UI / #UX problem in LibreOffice Calc, on a Debian bookworm system, fully up to date.

1. Decide to print spreadsheet
2. Open print dialog
3. Preview is in the left pane, options in the right.
4. Scroll down in the options pane to find an option near the bottom.
5. Change setting, or not.
6. Scroll back up to the top of the options pane, using the pointing device vertical scroll wheel.
7. If the "number of copies" scrollbox happens to pass under the mouse pointer, it will rapidly increase the number of copies. It's not particularly obvious this is happening; it's easy to miss the value is changing.
8. Move the mouse pointer slightly up and scrolling the options pane continues.
9. Click "print".

Voila! 23 copies of what you wanted to print a single copy of.

I actually ran into this while trying to debug a totally different UI / UX bug 😱

Looks like this weekend will have to include time to review some #firefox alternatives after #mozilla 's last bit of madness... Can anyone else say #spreadsheet time?

Because I think there are definitely going to be that many options.

Side note: How the fuck is this all compatible with their pledge and #manifesto (mozilla.org/en-US/about/manife)?
