You know, the #UX of #Mastodon would be that much more friendly if only those "Hide" and "ALT" buttons didn't get in the way of every image in one's feed.

So often these days, images have text in them -- and wouldn't you know it, the text is often blocked because of those buttons.

IMHO the hassle of the buttons' impeding legibility exceeds the value as affordances for managing the image.

I wish there were a user setting to hide them. Skeletor agrees!

Bad #UI experience: I was trying to send a friend some money via #CashApp, but could not verify my identity. Here’s what their tech support found out:

“...from the documentation you have provided, we see that you have a legal one letter name. While we understand that is the name chosen and legally granted, we regret to inform you that we cannot proceed with the request at this time.”

I sent a response thanking them for figuring out the problem, and I wouldn’t try to get verified -- or use CashApp -- again.

I also sent them the URL for “Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Names”

The #DUP #TUV and loyalist activist continue to waste massive sums of taxpayers money arguing that Ireland’s national language shouldn’t be on signage in Ireland; meanwhile there’s insufficient housing, agricultural pollution affecting much of our AONB and water bodies, prices are about to rise exponentially because of Trump tariffs, a UK ETA for visitors to six countries of Northern Ireland that will cost tourism and hospitality a lot in discontinued bookings, and a likely rise in unemployment as the effect of tariffs impact around the world.
But two languages on a signboard……. Pass the smelling salts.

Jeg fik til opgave at skrue en “hurtig" mockup sammen i Photoshop. Der ønskedes udtrykkeligt en psd

Det er længe siden, jeg sidst har fået design opgaver specifikt i Photoshop, men jeg blev da lige mindet om, hvor bøvlet, tidskrævende og usmart, det er, fremfor at arbejde i Figma, XD eller direkte i browseren

Apple's definitive new macOS UI redesign has leaked!

Starmer can’t grovel deep enough in the hope of staving off negative attention from the White House and as any history of Trump shows, that doesn’t work. He throws everyone under the bus, as that’s what greedy monstrous bullies do.
Starmer really needs to look at the incalculable damage aligning with the US will do to the UK, and particularly to Northern Ireland.
He must be persuaded to take account of the Good Friday Agreement, the NI Protocol and ensure more alignment with the EU than with the US.
If he does not the UK will be a pariah with all its closest geographic neighbours.

I'm still so annoyed that, like over a year later, if Discord's "Streamer Mode" is on, the event link text is replaced with "Hidden; use copy button".

If you click the copy button?

It, of course, copies the text "Hidden; use copy button"

This sort of stuff seems more and more common in software; glaring errors never fixed. But hey "vibe coding" or whatever.

You know what would make life better for everyone? If the British left Northern Ireland and returned it to be part of an independent whole country, all of which is in the EU. Then Hilary wouldn’t have to try and boss Ireland or the EU over tariffs. What would work well also would be the UK aligning themselves with the EU, rather than cowering in acquiescence before the toxic bullying of the USA.

Buenos días. Una cosa muy peligrosa de @moshidon, el cliente que uso para el fedi, es que, si bloqueas a un user, te sale un mensaje o diálogo previo antes de la acción. Pero si bloqueas un dominio o instancia, lo hace del tirón. Y las dos opciones de bloqueo están una al lado de la otra en la interfaz.

Ayer, queriendo bloquear a un user de .social, bloqueé toda la instancia sin querer. Aunque lo desbloqueé al instante, la metedura de pata tuvo como consecuencia que he dejado de seguir a varios centenares de usuaries que me toca ahora recuperar como buenamente pueda

I wonder how much Jamie Bryson costs the UK taxpayer every year? He’s hardly ever out of the courts, as he takes legal action after legal action over very important life changing subjects such as dual language signage in the new Belfast Central Transport hub, or a new pre-school or playgroup in Irish, or a GAA pitch were everyone can play camogie, hurling etc. He’s not a lawyer, a barrister, a KC, or a solicitor. He’s not called to the bar, and has no legal qualifications, but he sure know how to take up an immense amount of court time.
Even the #UUP and #DUP avoided this one, simply stating they would raise it in Stormont.
On his Xitter timeline he uses inflammatory rhetoric like ‘divisive, agressive demands, imposition’ and claims the use of Irish is some kind of attack on Unionism. No one is forcing him to read anything in Irish ever.

A drag and drop #GUI builder for #Python. Early days, currently only supports TKInter, and is a bit limited. But it does export working Python code. Worth watching to see how this project matures.

#AskFedi I am looking for books, articles, posts and research papers on the user experience and user interface / HCI design of *command line applications*

Please boost.

Manually opening all the accordion menus in the inspect tool because by default opening one closes all the rest and I need to print out all of last year's car payment info. :|

I hate web UIs. I hate the lack of bulk views/edits/etc.

Do you know guys, if some #xmpp #sip and #matrix UI clients are e2e tested. I mean explicitly the #UX and #UI part.
For example with #appium .

It's hard to find this kind of information.

#boostswelcome :)

I see what they are trying to accomplish, but the UI sucks (to put it in understandable terms).

I am annoyed by fake progress bars.

I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.

If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar.

And yes, #Mastodon image viewer, I'm talking about you.

That is all. Carry on.

Quite enjoying this UI pattern.

Now that I finished making my #roguelike for #7drl2025, I can finally resume work on my #Playdate pulp project, which is to make a roguelike.

I finally managed to get a spell selection menu that I'm happy with, which has been a roadblock for the longest time.
