I do legitimately think that this is just peak computer UX. It is information dense, but still kind of playful.
I'm sure real #ux experts would have a different opinion, but I really enjoy this aesthetic and functionality.

The typical webapp login process for me is anywhere from 5 to 7 steps, and I'd say I give up about 5-10% of the time after the 2nd CAPTCHA. I can't imagine this is good for anybody, and it almost surely does not reduce abuse either. Just a swirling dark pattern feeding on itself. Everyone likes to ape post-9/11 airport "security" for some reason.

Designers are good people. Some designs exclude people anyway. Alan Dalton explains why—too much to remember—and offers a practical fix: accessibility personas that help you recognize problems while you’re designing, not after. Homework included.

How do you change the default font for LibreOffice spreadsheet app Calc?
This question illustrates how ux and ui design still has a way to go in major open source projects that seek to compete with popular proprietary software.
-
The method is not where you’d expect it.
-
It doesn’t change the default for Calc, only for that file.
-
Normal users shouldn’t have to mess with “templates” and give them “specific names”.
-
If the above is wrong, that adds weight to the fact that a fairly tech confident person couldn’t find the correct answer.
If I was a billionaire, I’d set up a Foundation to sponsor work on open source UX and UI design.

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to your reasons are sound from the UX standpoint, but the solution can use some work.
As part of the development team, if you agree to something and then sneakily do something else, you’ll will get yourself and the rest of the team in trouble.
I suggest that you point out the issue using relevant sources (you may not be in charge of UX) and negotiate that the suggestion can be carried out as a refactor or quick fix.

I've been exploring @kagihq@mastodon.social's Orion browser for a bit now. Judging from the overall #UX, I'm beginning to think that Orion is a better (fully #macOS-native) browser than Safari.
E.g., Safari shows bookmarks in a browser window, and it closes all folders every time you close the window. Orion has a dedicated bookmarks window and remembers all folders’ open/closed states across launches.
There are plenty #IxD details like this one, whose design in Orion simply is superior to Safari’s. Well done!

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social online and in real life, there’s this tendency to think that every surface available can/should be used for advertising or to distract the people using the service.
The attention economy has this insidious influence over the rest of society. Users will not have space for their own thoughts, or use their senses as they see fit without interference.

@DanMorgan@vmst.io if you need localization in Spanish, I can help. Much better than an LLM.
I also have a IX designer colleague in Curaçao, should you need Dutch.
