What are the modern design trends you hate most?

I would like to change the radio station in a school zone and not run over a bunch of kids because I had to take my eyes off the road. Touchscreens are more distracting to use than my phone, which I don't like to use while driving because it is distracting enough.
Touchscreens absolutely do not belong in cars and I hope my car with buttons doesn't fucking die before the trend dies.
I agree. My car a Mercedes A200d from 2020 is a bit of a hybrid, it has a touch screen but also button controls to change things, but even those are a bit fiddly.
I love that it had a voice control feature that actually works so no I just press a button on the steering wheel and say “play classic fm” and it changes. Good for using navigation too as the less time you are using the screen the better.

Material design. Everything must be so flat that you cannot see if it’s a button or just something highlighted.
Exactly, I can't believe we are still in this since years, can't wait for the next trend hoping it won't get worse..

Long-time NoScript user. I only allow scripts to run that actually need to run, and some I forever-block everywhere just on principle (looking at you Google). Except for sites like banking, if a site won't run without garbage javascript it's quite easy to just go elsewhere where the signal-to-noise ratio is smarter.
Oh yeah. I generally don't touch it if a site is generally okay without it. I've just come across lots of sites that will only display an error message unless I allow JS.

Tthis setting is not intended to apply to websites. With this setting you can change whether the date is shown as absolute (dd.mm.yyyy) oder relative (today, yesterday,...) for your own files on your computer.
The main post is asking about general design patterns, and many others have commented about relative dates in gitlab and many other online sources.
It is precisely my point to say that the settings cited here are local only.

Tables and select boxes have been standard for ages across all browsers what are you on about.
