  1. Heute wieder so ein "Linux auf dem Desktop ist einfach nur genial"-Moment, mit einer eigentlich unbedeutenden Kleinigkeit (die mich aber optimal unterstützt):

    Launcher (Panellauncher / Starter / Anwendungssymbole) lassen sich auf der Leiste (Panel) individuell gruppieren, z. B. nach Thema oder Usecase. Das fördert die Übersichtlichkeit, schafft Platz, vereinfacht und beschleunigt die Nutzung.

  8. Mastodon is actively user-hostile, exhibit #24837: even in the discussion of a bug report, no one can give a straight answer about what "privately mention" means, and whether or not it is analogous to a Direct Message on other platforms.

  10. Something I would like a digital assistant to do: Answer the question, where is my package? For example, I recently ordered some coffee. I want to be able to ask, "where's my coffee?" and the assistant should know I ordered some and tell me the latest tracking update. #assistant #AI #ML #DontMakeMeThink #UX

  12. @matthew_d_green I’d throw in the Wi-Fi vs Cellular alert in @overcastfm — it makes me think, every time.

    It shouldn’t be about allowing cellular, that’s not the desired outcome. In this situation, the user either wants to download immediately or later when on Wi-Fi.

    A better alert would be:

    Title:
    Download “[EpisodeTitle]” Using Cellular Data?

    Infotext:
    The download size is [EpisodeSize] MB. Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees.

    Buttons:
    Later on Wi-Fi (secondary)
    Download (primary)
