#Baltic Friends!
I'm going to be travelling starting in #Helsinki and then working my way through #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania mid-June through mid-July this summer. While I expect most schools will be on vacation, I'm still looking for any interesting #UX groups/teams that I could visit. Please feel free to pass my name along to anyone.

OpenStreetMap/User Interface Design:
Um Kommentare auf der Karte anzeigen zu lassen - also Fehler, Korrekturen etc. -, drückt man die Sprechblase.
Um diese "Hinweise" wieder auszuschalten, drückt man das "Ebenen"-Symbol. Darauf klappt eine Übersicht der Kartenebenen auf, d.h. versch. Stile, wie OSM dargestellt werden kann. Ganz unten findet man dann mehrere Checkboxen. Eine davon heißt "Hinweise/Fehlermeldungen" und ist aktiviert. Den Haken muss man entfernen.
Total intuitiv.

Would you like to test a small measurement tool feature for #inkscape ?
If you've got a second you could download this development build and use the measurement tool to measure your curves, angles and those kinds of things.

And let me know your thoughts on the User Experience, how comfortable it feels, etc inside GitLab if you can, or here if you can't.
A new blog article, purposely non-technical, so you could share it with your manager.
"Why frontends fail when you approach them like a backend."
There's a new "design is dead, because AI" piece (thinly disguised marketing from Anthropic). But looking past the hype headlines, their claims cover purely production-stage tasks.
When it comes to the work of understanding user needs and evaluating the opportunity space, AI actually makes your thinking worse. Studies show that it alienates you from users and colleagues, and flattens your thinking.
We need more human-centered practice, not less.

The current state of the web assumes that the reader is an adversary to be trapped and monetized.
When a news website forces you through three dismissive actions just to read a headline, they are burning your cognitive budget before delivering any value. You are greeted by a cookie banner taking up the bottom 30% of your screen, a "Subscribe!" modal dead center, an autoplaying video pinned to the corner and a prompt begging to send you push notifications.

I'm experimenting with an interface to let players edit text fields in the list of assemblies they have created.
My idea is that the simplest is to just click the text to edit it. However, once you've started editing, you should either confirm (which saves the assembly to a file) or cancel, and should not be able to do something else in between.
So I came up with the idea of making a "modal popup" excepted it's not a popup.
What do you think, is this a good way to do it?
English speakers of the fedi. In a software with the interface in English, Reading a menu with verbs such as Save, Open, Close, Edit, Format etc., do you read them as imperative (an order: "do this") or as an infinitive (the "base form" of the verb, like "to do this")?
Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

I had the "pleasure" of maintaining Microsoft stack for decades.
I always had a firm belief (now we have a word for it) Microsoft enshitification is caused by the desire of #microslop to make money off training.
Weird #UX choices and unjustifiable tech solutions.
I just logged into yet another key online work tool that has completely redesigned their UI.
So it looks like rather than doing my deadline work, I'm going to be putting time into relearning a tool I've used for years by muscle memory from scratch.

Ugh, LinkedIn is the worst!
I try to disable all the notifications that aren't directly relevant to me, but they keep inventing new kinds of notifications that I have to opt out of! So annoying.
Trying to do that this morning, I see they have "simplified and regrouped" their notification settings, which is hilarious, because they're showing me a list of 14 top-level notification categories, each with its own tree of sub-categories beneath it. There must be a few dozen different categories of notification, each with multiple options within.
I think I found the one I needed to turn off? I have no idea. This is actively hostile UX.

I remember that and still viscerally recall the firestorm that broke out on the #Debian mailing lists.
I am not a fan of #SystemD. While I recognize that Linux's implementation #SysVInit needed replacing, SystemD was not the right solution.
Even if there is some kind of "correctness" to it, the design is not based on #empathy or nor did it improve upon the user experience. It is a case study in the failure of not using design thinking.
We went from:
service $SERVICE start
To:
systemctl start $SERVICE
Why couldn't it be:
start $SERVICE
Of course, the additional info when checking a service's status is valuable and certainly an improvement, HOW it was implement is my biggest criticism. Also, SystemD sprawl. Poettering's terrible attitude didn't help either.

“AI can make mistakes” might as well be the slogan of our era. Even boosters admit that you need to spin the vibe code slot machine a few times to get a jackpot.

So how do we redirect some of that unlimited grace from machines to humans?
I know I've said it before but it blows my fucking mind every time I'm reminded that while right-clicking on an email link in Microsoft's Edge browser brings up the "copy email address" option, just like other browsers, doing the same when there's an email in an email in Outlook does not - you can only copy the hyperlink including "mailto:", which you then have to remove manually when pasting the address into an email...

@0xabad1dea what is

For anyone reasonable, there's @zulip, @RocketChat and #IRC + #Mumble & #JitsiMeet already...
99% of stakeholder "ideas" are just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest.
Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling. Strategy becomes dominated by the overriding need to make the good number go up.

@baldur this makes an excellent point about #Product development and #UX in general, as proven through the fallacy of these new tools.
We haven’t magically gotten better at: understanding users, mapping coherent experiences, predicting future needs and wants, prioritizing on a grand scale, finding genuinely good and valuable problems to solve, working together as a team, resolving disagreements, building genuine alignment, visualizing the future.
It was never about making code.
I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.
There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.
For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.
And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

I've personally grown to hate the security theatre of rotating my bank passwords every six months, especially because of requirements like "must contain one uppercase, one symbol, one lowercase, one special case and the blood of a unicorn."
When mathematically, a simple, grammatically incorrect sentence of 25 characters is much harder for a machine to crack than a gibberish 8-character password with symbols.
Entropy loves length.
I love the idea that the most secure key to your digital life could just be a weird little poem or an inside joke that only you know. Security doesn't have to be painful.

Hello #UX folk!
Some people seem to think that the "craft of ux" is dead: striving to be polished is naive. E.g. snapchat & Instagram stories, which are horrible UX, are claimed to be "good enough".
I'm writing a blog post exploring this but need links to any examples of this type of good enough thinking?
I'm expecting mostly techbro types will say this
EDIT: I shouldn't have called out Instagram so strongly. It's odd but not horrible.
My vehicle's infotainment system had a software update to apply. The car wouldn't shut off, which threw me for a loop trying to figure it out.
There was a popup about an update, but it flashed away after no longer than 2 seconds to be replaced by the Android Car Play (or whatever it's called). There didn't seem a way to navigate back to it through the system's menus, even on the software update screen.
Eventually, after restarting the car something like 6 times to sort what was going on, I just had my finger ready to tap the "Update now" button, even though I had no idea what the update was.
A few minutes later, it finished.
Still looking for full-time employment; or more gigs. Would love to work in #UX or #accessibility related roles, but be careful; when I search for accessibility roles, the algo thinks 'hospital' and medical assistants. I mean digital accessibility, primarily - whether that's games, documents like PDFs, or web design. #gamedev #ttrpg
One modern hardward design trend I absolutely hate is labels/icons for ports, buttons, and switches being borderline illegible.
On my Anker batteries, the icons for the ports are nearly invisible. I have to shine a light on them, then find an angle that reflects enough light to distinguish the icons from the surface background.
My Keychron keyboard is worse. Its switch labels are carved in the plastic with no coloring whatsoever. Impossible to read without a flashlight. #ux #design #tech

Executives don’t want to just sell juice. They want to empower you with an agentic, customizable, and seamless juice experience.
But no one has stopped to think about what any of that actually means. Before designing a "solution," you need a good, *shared* problem definition. If the beautiful clarity within the design team shatters on contact with any handoff, you didn't finish the job.

Does anyone know of a write-up of why there is no autocomplete for numbers? Like if I type 3035 why my phone doesn't suggest 2025, etc.? I can think of some reasons why this might not be a thing from way over here in my armchair, but I know very little about this, and am interested in thoughts or experiences of someone who knows more.
If you just know things about this, I would be interested in hearing it, too.
2025 has only intensified the struggles of past years. The challenge for us is not "how do we pull through?" but "how do we make a 'new normal' work for us?"
The answer, of course, is not to simply try harder. To prevent 2026 from going like 2025, we need to deliberately re-evaluate our own goals, and our relationships with our jobs.

@mario I still find the OSM design decisions hard to read (and I'm a lifelong user of paper and app maps so it's not that I can't read a map). At least the red warns me as a cyclist and pedestrian that it's not a really desirable place for me to be.
The difficulty I find is how little OSM highlights infrastructure for pedestrians, wheelchair users, and cyclists, at least in Tirana, Albania. I suppose the data is there because StreetComplete asks me to provide it, #Accessibility #UX #BikeTooter
I HATE this so much and I notice it in SO MANY UIs, when you do an action and the notification box is RIGHT ON THE BUTTON to do the action again, or right on top of the field you need to use next, and you have to wait for the notification to timeout before you can keep setting things up. #UI #UX

- The fact that @signalapp requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android…
Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit?
It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telegram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto.

Then "certain parties to which we sell or share personal information may re-sell or re-share your personal information... to opt out... visit their digital properties..."

Long-overdue #question and request for #recommendations: What to use besides #GIMP? I don't hate it (I've become used to it) but I object to the name and it has annoyances galore. If I can use something better I will. I'd very much like it to be #FOSS.

Below is actual footage of my multi-year battle to wrestle basic functionality out of the awful, awful software that is Outlook + Teams.
Note that I reference a Teams Team, which is a reference to the post that I love so much, by @danlockton

A slack post I made today.
:cat-wave: Morning, Core Squad!
I need a calendar assist from someone in Core Foundations.
Today, my calendar gets blocked off for Foundations-specific ceremonies, and I get notifications for them. I'd like that to stop.
Your task, should you choose to accept it: create duplicate events for standup + refinement ceremonies, so I can get off of those.
You are clear to create these events either within our Teams -> Teams -> Core Calendar, or just plain old Outlook events. I'd originally picked the latter because, at the time, it held the promise of being the only method of shared event ownership, allowing more than one teammate to cancel, reschedule, and make adjustments to events, thus avoiding situations like "[Redacted name 1] has departed, and to this day his events live on :zombie: in our Teams Teams calendar, e.g. tomorrow."
After experiments with [redacted name 2] (upthread), neither method was able to handle co-ownership of an event. :upside_down_face:
I . . . just don't know what to believe anymore. :face_with_spiral_eyes: (Sobs into memories of Google Calendar)
For the brave, I am including (in-thread) the ostensible steps for co-ownership of an event, now ostensibly available in Outlook AND Teams Teams calendars. Trust nothing. Believe nothing.
I'm gonna go make a coffee, and then start a blog about Microsoft's calendars. :picard-facepalm: :garfield:

The fact that Microsoft Teams 🤮 contains a feature called "Teams" where actual teams can create a Team, and at Microsoft the teams working on that feature probably have a Team to discuss the Teams feature, suggests that there exists a Microsoft Microsoft Teams Teams Teams' Microsoft Teams Team.
