I wanted a coffee and I have a coffee powder all over the flat instead.
I was grinding the coffee beans while also walking around the flat and talking with my girlfriend. Then I noticed that I didn't mount the cup collecting the powder in the grinder. 🤦
My excuse is that this is really a #UXFail as it is possible to assemble it without the cup.

I have no idea who designed the UI for Teams, but it does so many weird and counter-intuitive things.

If you press the up key, you are suddenly editing the last comment you posted.

If you then press Esc, which I expect would cancel that action, nothing happens.

I have to pick up the mouse and click the small "X" button that also often gets overlayed by the popup menu, and then I have to press Discard in a modal dialog, even though I made no changes.

WHAT THE HELL!

Il y a un an, j'ai designé une interface où la modification se fait via une modale. Je SAVAIS que ce n'était pas une bonne idée sur le long terme, mais c'était tellement simple sur le coup...

Et ça y est, le jour redouté est arrivé : ma modale a bien évolué, et j'ai maintenant besoin de faire apparaître une modale sur la modale 😭.

Bon, j'ai pleuré un bon coup. Et maintenant, je vais essayer de limiter la casse en évaluant mes options (merci au chouette https://modalzmodalzmodalz.com/)

🌟 Инновации в #Skype, диалог с самим собой! Уже знакомый паттерн из разных мессенджеров для быстрого сохранения заметок на будущее.

Сделан, в духе #Microsoft, через задницу.

Для начала, он в разделе Favorites (Избранное). Если щёлкнуть по нему правой кнопкой, всплывает меню с разными действиями, среди которых… "Add to favorites" (добавить в избранное).

Што?
Так он в избранном или нет? Интерфейс однозначного ответа не даёт.

Но что хуже, убрать его оттуда тоже не даёт.

В этом же меню пункт "Hide conversation" (скрыть беседу)… ага, тоже ничего не делает.

It's a common practice in Unity to start the name of a scene, prefab, etc. with an underscore so it will be listed first in the project window.

This is because things are sorted lexicographically and underscores come before letters in ASCII, right?

Well, no.

https://www.asciitable.com/

So what the heck is Unity using to sort things? Did they ... did they really add the underscore as a special case?

On this form, an empty string fails the "does not contain illegal characters" requirement.

Holy triple-negatives, Batman.

And what is an "illegal" character? Based on the remaining criteria, I think this means, "non-ASCII".

The whole form (which is the whole webpage) looks so 90s and amateur. Good job, Oracle.

@libreoffice has this odd behavior where if you select some text and export a PDF, by default you end up with a PDF that contains ... the selected text. This is how I've routinely ended up with PDFs containing the word "the" or "of" just because that happened to be the active cursor selection.

Classic case of "pick sensible defaults" to avoid #uxfail.

Tried the official #ChatGPT app, it sucks! It’s rare for a website to be better than the dedicated app. Haptic feedback while the AI types? Why?! All chats are labeled as 'New Chat' unlike the website, which names chats intelligently. And no auto-scroll? Every chat or messaging app since the days of IRC has understood the importance of autoscrolling when new messages appear. This is basic UX, don't make your users work for the information. #AppReview #UXFail

If starting a shell, typing 'find . -iname '*license*' is faster, something's wrong.

The UX spidey-sense is a blessing and a curse. I'm happy I can make software a little less awful for people, but it means I'm the one who has to pay attention to the crud in the corners.

Like, in this dataviz tool, you can mouse over a segment of a stacked bar chart and get a popover with tabular data...but that popover scrolls...and it vanishes before you can mouse over it to scroll through said table...

On the fraudulent page there is a "report this link" option. But clicking it send you to a "form" where you need to specify the link again.

There PayPal tells you that they can't disclose any information about a result or consequences of the report because of data protection. And that the data will be treated securely and anonymously.
