Kagan MacTane (he/him)I think I have wanted to paste *with* formatting maybe twice in my life. Every. Other. GODDAMNED. Time, I have wanted to just paste the DATA I copied from elsewhere, and have it match the place I'm pasting it into."Paste without formatting" should be the default. "Paste WITH formatting" should be the behavior you have to explicitly ask for.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UXDesign</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BadUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUX</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BadUXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadUXDesign</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>

Jonathan Kamens“Human Interest” is terribleSeveral years ago I worked for a company which outsourced management of their 401k to Human Interest. It was… not a positive experience. I don't remember all the details—I've worked pretty hard to forget them since they were so unpleasant—but suffice it to say that it was my impression that they weren't terribly good at any aspect of the work they needed to do as a company. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fail</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/HumanInterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanInterest</a> <a href="https://blog.kamens.us/2025/04/22/human-interest-is-terrible/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.kamens.us/2025/04/22/human-interest-is-terrible/</a>

Jochen Wolters<a href="https://social.coop/@scottjenson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@scottjenson</a> Your comment that "[n]ew UX models have friction" is impressively calm and collected, considering the merits of this design. 😏I wish that, as designers, we'd adopt our own complement to "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Something like "If a design works really well for users, don't mess with it."Too often these days, it seems that it's not about actually improving <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>, but coming up with some "new and different." Which usually doesn't really help, does it? 🤔

Scott JensonNew UX models have friction.The Mach E has a push button door: push the button first, pop the door. It works once "you've read the manual" Two problems: 1. As I approached the car at Avis it was dark, I couldn't see the button at all so couldn't get in, I had to ask someone to let me in. 2. When I picked up my son at the airport, he had no idea how to open the passenger door so I had to open it from the inside.Ford may keep this, but it's going to be a painful road. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a>

Weary Wulf[P] I've been working on the game project for my partner to deal with my anxiety, and I had a reason to look up the old site for the game Keepsake...<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20061105154246/http://wickedstudios.com/keepsake/swf/english.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20061105154246/http://wickedstudios.com/keepsake/swf/english.htm</a>I really miss flash sites, actually.

AthanasiusGame developers, I am BEGGING YOU.Please let players access the settings on your game as soon as it is launched. No, not after some cut scenes. No, not after a tutorial. IMMEDIATELY.I might need to adjust graphics settings, especially if you have uncapped frame rate.I might need to adjust the audio, because you don't know my setup, or preferences in regards to music volume versus effects volume.And I might have a need to set up custom controls, be that customising what you have as defaults, or configuring e.g. an "MMO" mouse to make use of them.This small rant brought to you by the initial experience in many games, most recently "Hardspace Shipbreaker" (which has a cool opening, but PLEASE let me at the settings first!)..<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GameDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDevelopment</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>

skryContinuing its tradition of user-hostile behavior, Windows does dangerous things to you, then warns you about images on your own hard drive that it generated, with no explanation, for no good reason. As a bonus, it does its own job wrong. I can see uses for capturing a screen every 30 seconds when doing research or tutorials, but not automatically all the time, not by default, not just because Microsoft can. Users are less safe now.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windows</a> <a href="https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114364621751034190" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114364621751034190</a>

Erik MoellerTIL this about <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> in private browsing mode:> If the PDF is opened rather than saved, the downloaded file is considered temporary and will be deleted at the end of the private session. You need to manually save the PDF for it to be preserved. [1]Well-intentioned, but rather counter-intuitive since it shows the file as both downloaded and stored in a specific location. Seems like at minimum the PDF viewer should display a warning banner.<a href="https://social.coop/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>[1] <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443596" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1443596</a>

Clarissa | making Enigma HeartWorking on adding support for two joypad bindings per action, which is something I should have done from the very beginning.

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦macOS folks – I’m using the Mail app with a bunch of rules to filter my newsletters, etc. into mailboxes so the important stuff from people I know doesn't get lost in the avalanche.Every time I add an address to a rule, I get the dialog below. It doesn't seem to do anything. There's already a mailbox selected, in fact the message that the newly-edited rule applies to is selected as well, but the clicking “Apply” doesn’t do anything at all.I still have to get the rule to apply to the mailbox by invoking the Apply Rules command in the Message menu.Am I missing something, or is this another example of an Apple QC fail?<a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/UIFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UIFail</a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>
