  1. ..I hear people say they want to change this or that aspect of their lives... #Improve, grow & become better versions of themselves.. the problem is that they aren't pouring new stuff into their #existing version of who they are.. without fresh motivations & perspectives their water stays stagnant..

  8. Stupidity #3: like I said, the #power #button is a tactile one. You push it, a green light comes on. All good! But wait a couple minutes ... it's not #brewing coffee yet. And then the light goes out. Yes, turning this coffee maker "on" powers it up, but *does not actually start the process of making coffee*. For that, you have to hit one of 3 different capacitive #touch areas. This is incredibly stupid; it should have a default mode of "make coffee" when you turn it on, given that it is supposed to be a "coffee maker".

    Stupidity #4: have no use for time-programmed mode? Tough titty. You're going to have to set the #clock after every power glitch if you don't want it flashing "12:00" until the end of time. Better design would have the clock go blank if it wasn't set after a while.

    I'm just getting started. We have decades, and in some cases centuries, of trial and experiment in the design of everyday things [1] that people use, and we used to actually learn from that breadth and depth of #experience and #improve the design of our things over time. Not any more. Now it seems every product is a clean sheet design by someone who isn't even aware that body of #knowledge exists, much less know any of it.

    And yes, software has gone exactly the same way.

    End #rant, for now.

    [1] Ahem.

  26. @timbray @elsua54 Your question "So why are you here?" seems ok to ask, at the same time as obvious to answer:

    Something more than #caturday pictures, 0-replies or 1-way replies
    To #cooperate no matter what
    To #improve people, Mastodon included (developers + #tech people are averse to communicating with actual people deeply, are loners)

    So people can see my effort / join

    Many reasons (as well as the good software - maybe you missed the point that EVERYWHERE MISSES / AVOIDS THE POINTS ABOVE?)
