“It’s the first time we’re following recommendations… to give back objects that should never have been brought to the Netherlands. But more than anything, it’s a moment to look to the future. We’re not only returning objects; we’re also embarking on a period of closer cooperation with Indonesia and Sri Lanka in areas like collection research, presentation, and exchanges between museums.”
Honestly, I hope the UI adds a built-in option to hide upvotes and downvotes (seeing the vote totals and having the up and down arrows visible to click on). I know there are pros and cons of reputation systems, but I think that's why it makes sense for each user to decide whether or not they want to be aware of that stuff. I've always been pretty disturbed by the 'popularity contest' nature of social media, and think that for myself, the slight mental health hit of paying attention to my reputation and the up/down votes of every comment is something I'd rather avoid, at least much of the time.
I'm aware that there are some scripts or some such that can do this, but I'm not extra tech savvy, and many people are less tech savvy than me, so having a simple setting would be great.
Having said that, it's great that the latest revision to the system went live. It now seems a lot more intuitive.
