Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Repeat after me:

My experience is not everybody's experience.

My perspective is not everybody's perspective.

My "obvious" is not everybody's "obvious".

"Surprise!"

"Is that..? OH MY COD IT'S A WATERPROOF E-BOOK!"

"I hope you like the books I loaded on there for you..."
She couldn't hear me over her broad translucent fins slapping the sand & surf excitedly.

"I can finally read in bed! Oh oh I can finally join a book club!"

"Uh, I dunno if there's any beach-side ones here..."

"My girlfriend will just have to start one, then."

"I'll look into it tonight, love."

"Yay!"

kigus of your species as a means of species affirmation, boost if you agree

@HerraBRE You don't even need a limit on how much you can fit in your head - there's 100% a limit on how much time you have in your life to spend learning things.

Time you ask people to spend learning your software is time they could spend learning useful things, enjoying their lives, or just having a nice nap.

Bad UX literally saps your life away.

Dear Fediverse: Is there a Mastodon Client app for iOS that can use multiple account *on_the_same_instance*?
Of the ones I've checked so far, most can do multiple accounts but only on different instances each. I need one that can do multiple on the same instance. Thanks!

computers are heck 

Great to know early in this customer<->business relationship that OneDrive will occasionally decide our Photographs directory needs to be deleted.

This illuminates for us that:
1) Microsoft can't restore anything for us
2) the only way to restore files is to use their infinite scroll online Recycle Bin
3) there's no way to restore an entire directory
4) we'll have to select each file one at a time if we don't want to restore everything in there (do we? how would we ever know?)

ableist words, eugenics 

'idiot,' 'moron,' 'stupid,' and 'imbecile' are all words tied to USA eugenics movements recommending compulsory sterilisation and/or incarceration, indentured servitude, etc

'dumb' comes from the ableist notion that someone who can't verbalise words is someone who can't think

these words are very much used today to reinforce fascist eugenicist ideas, and you might be surprised how many leftists don't realise that they agree with that idea

"Non-Binary people aren't valid" is a transphobic statement

Solidarity, friends

This is what happens when you put the trans flag rotated 90º on top of the pride flag with difference blending.

It's like the queerest plaid. :D

capitalism ruins everything 

at the art museum and there is a participatory exhibit with questions on cards and amidst pretty drawings and children's writing someone has literally written out an ad for a youtube red channel
