Why, when I change the temperature on the thermostat of my Renault Zoe does it change the fan direction, too? Is this a UI affordance for people who want their faces colder but their feet warmer? I don't understand!

Ah, the riveting saga of Photoshop's "focus" challenge continues! Apparently, the elusive mode wasn't lost, just cleverly (or incompetently) rebranded. 🤔 Brace yourself for the thrilling tale of user interface drama where "Quiet Mode" stealthily lurks, just waiting to confuse the next unwitting soul. 🙄

FOSS, single-file, vanilla, save with CTRL + S. This is designed to make single file webpages/programs in absolute position or VW. The keyboard is like Vi. 20 levels per project. And, completely unexplainable, I included a micro-program which does ASCII Art. Just press enter to clip it.

i’m still a big fan of the „no fusion“ camera app and since it offers different themes, i decided to have my own take on it. 📸

Most-often when a toaster has a 'cancel' button it's simply labelled 'cancel', 'stop', or with a cross. But this week, I discovered a toaster that uses the 'eject' icon - like you'd find on a VHS tape recorder - on its button.

At first I thought this was an unusual user interface choice, but I'm coming around to it. It feels like a more-accurate and skeuomorphic representation of what actually happens than a cross suggests.

But the existence of toasters like this one does necessarily mean that, some day, some Gen Alpha will see a tape deck in, like, a museum or something, and will say 'hey, that's cute: the button you press to pop the tape out is the same as the one you use to pop your toast out'.

The Settings GUI in #konform #browser was in need of some love and is now having a refresh. Several new knobs, some shuffling around to make things more cohesive and less scattered, and some edits of hints to hopefully reduce potential for confusion.

New options for:
- First-Party Isolation
- Enhanced #tracking Protection tweaking in Custom mode (useful mostly for FPI users)
- #webrtc and ICE
- #dom Push and its optional network connection
- #jit features
- WebAssembly (#wasm)
- Geolocation
- WebGPU
- Async callstacks support
- Persisting of browser history

Hints and the "advanced" options expand when clicking the "?" for parent option.

Still a bit hesitant on where global toggles for #webgpu and #webgl belong. And perhaps configuration for cross-origin referrer could also move to Browser Privacy controls?

Otherwise feels like things are coming together - What do you think? Anything you're missing or that feels out of place?

A more general example might be, which window you should be looking at in the first place.

For me, one of the features most sorely lost in the transformation of the NeXT UI to MacOS was the clear distinction between main, key, and “other” windows/panels…

It's been 5 days since I experimenting with Unreal Engine font materials. During this time I've made 21 materials and here's what they look like. These are very simple examples, I've shown some of the materials and their code in other videos

The inconsistency of Tahoe’s design

I even collected them all together, so the absurdity of the situation is more obvious.

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons @ tonsky.me

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I recommend reading the whole post. It’s an opus to how Tahoe UX design is an utter denunciation of the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines – once considered to be the gospel of how interface design must be done.

I know it’s beating a dead horse at this point. Tahoe is a complete disgrace when it comes to user interface design. I don’t want to conflate this as denouncing Liquid Glass – although I still have issues with it. It’s how Tahoe is the worst implementation of it to the point where Mac OS isn’t what it is supposed to be.

Anyway, here’s to hoping all the changes with the leadership is all going to bear fruit sometime soon.

I’ve also realized that I might skip a mac OS version for the first time ever, esp now that I’ve successfully reverted my Mac back to Sequoia.

" #LibreOffice's focus on dependability, interoperability and its unflinching advocacy for the use and adoption of #OpenSource source and open standards is, to me, more of an appealing ‘feature’ than any #userinterface trend or having AI agents hallucinating in the margins."

The Trace has created the worst user interface for map data.

They want the user to click through each incident to see it, thereby obscuring the data.

First Apple Glass didn't learn from Windows Vista. Now Apple's Tahoe icons didn't learn from … Apple.

The issue is bigger than a mere disregard for the principles in the 1992 guidelines. It's that training for User Interface designers is nonexistent. As the old guard retires, untrained designers reinvent square wheels.

@garrettmurray after writing like a sophomore about keyboard design failings of the last two decades just a few days ago, and then reading your article just now, it revealed to me many thoughts about OS design that I couldn’t have said so well. Thank you.
In fact, if I could make the current OS look like Mac OS 9, I would never look back.
