  1. In einer Gesellschaft, die Effizienz liebt, ist zielloses Herumspazieren ein Affront.

    Unser Artikel "Ferale Promenadologie" fragt: Wem gehört der Weg? Wer darf gehen, wer wird kontrolliert? Das Gehen als Mikrowiderstand, als situiertes Wissen und als kleine, realistische Utopie.

  6. TIL there's a name for the 100s of little paths people living in outer areas of LA make when they are on foot and have to access a building in an area that was designed for access almost entirely by cars.

    Yes, I'm looking at you Agoura Hills, Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks.

  7. Queenstown, New Zealand.
    A personal project on:
    #DesireLines #DesirePaths #psychogeography #walking
    Brave souls take the right to join the mayhem of our busiest roundabout, and more direct route into town. Left is the formed path to the bus hub and (relative) safety of pedestrian islands.

    This one now almost looking like a formed path, cuts straight across the Events Centre entrance. Cyclist about to hit it. Given its not formed you have to contend with a gutter... spyderooth.vercel.app//quick-p

  8. Copy-paste “fonts” for bold styling in posts are the “desire paths” of LinkedIn. No A/B testing, user acceptance test or even usability test will show the LinkedIn design team that this is a true need people have. That’s something you learn from context research.

  13. Apologies for the lateness, but where we were moored the signal strength wasn't strong enough for me to load Mastadon or the website. Here is the link to this week's episode: 'Low Along the Fox Paths'.

  14. Now here is an interesting one.

    This path, about seven or eight feet wide, is in the #Oxford #University #Parks. There is no keep off the grass sign, which is cool. It would be pointless - the grass is vast and mostly playing fields.

    But what desire led to this this path *just* outside the metal edging? Softer under foot? Not now, anyway. Social distancing? Hardly necessary. Why not further?

    Anyway, there it is. Some sort of tribute to human drives.

  17. @FiXato Note that when I'm distinguishing design intent from evolved use, I'm NOT claiming one is superior or more valid than the other. Only that they differ. I'm a big believer in #DesirePaths (See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_p), and there are often times where the people take technology in directions its developers never considered.

    In this case, there's also the issue that there's an active conflict between several factions, and there are different considerations which are not always accurately represented especially by those in opposition.

    There's the FreezePeach argument. I'm relatively unsympathetic.

    There's the Avoid Psychic Harm Harm / Check Your Privilege group. I'm fairly, but not wholly, sympathetic. Univerally-accepted norms on a universally-adopted platform ... tend to a small set of minimum viable factors, and many groups can argue for what might seem in isolation to be reasonable practices which are not in aggregate compatible. I try to be mindful, but I'm not going to comply with all requests, and will actively oppose some such requests.

    There's the "we're establishing a new set of norms here" argument. That's ... interesting but ultimately probably limited, the more so as / if Mastodon / Fediverse adoption grows markedly. (By definition, any medium used by a large and representative share of the population WON'T be representative of a niche or underrepresented cohort, though it can take some of their concerns into consideration).

    There's the UI/UX argument, which I've made. In a nutshell: CW's have some uses, design and evolved intents are at odds, there are some significant misfeatures, and some of the vociforously-argued norms strike me as both unlikely and unreasonable.

    There's the freak-flag argument, which I've made: A number of people with interesting things to say on obscure topics hide those discussions behind CWs for ... reasons I really can't grok. I'd like to see more intellectual diversity on the Fediverse, and make that easier to see and share. CWs actively work against that for both present Fediverse members AND those not (yet) on the platform. Of all the harms, this is the one I actually feel strongest about.

    Again: A set of simple and trivial UI/UX changes would address most of this. It's ... not happened, and I'm beginning to think after five+ years of campaigning for it that it never will (based on experiences in advocating for platform changes elsewhere). That's ... disappointing.
