What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.

Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.

Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

The option is called "relative date" (as opposed to absolute date). On macos you can switch it off:

open Finder, go to list view
select very first item in hierarchy
click on the little triangle next to the (folder-)icon to expand but press the option key wihle doing so
hit "cmd" + "J" - a settings panel will open
there is a tick box that says "relative date" that needs to be disabled (unticked)
if you want to apply this settings as the new default setting for all finder windows, press the "apply as standard"-button at the bottom. All dates will show now the actual date instead of "today", "yesterday" and such.
