@inthehands oh dear, i didn’t mean for this to he a grand opus from god. i wrote it in a drunken haze trying to explain some of my reactions in chats that people just get really confused by sometimes. now i got a flood of people saying they disagree with this or that and—- i don’t understand why i should care! they’re *my* core beliefs. i say that in the post. not things i am trying to convince you of. such strange reactions

i think “not terrible” is the best we’ll ever get. I don’t think we’ll see actually good computers in my lifetime

4. every configuration switch is a failure to make a design decision.
there are a bunch of exceptions here for accessibility; but mostly, configuration isn’t freedom, it’s pointless busywork that makes documentation harder, and troubleshooting a nightmare

3. developers, and power users deserve good UI *too*. we shouldn’t measure expertise on the basis of the amount of suffering we are willing to endure.

I should probably pin this somewhere at some point, but i have a few core beliefs that many folks find a bit jarring and confusing
1. it’s the designer’s fault, never the user’s fault
2. there’s no such thing as “newbies” or “dummies”. There’s a variety of people with different motives, backgrounds and experiences. The belief in this simplistic dichotomy of “smart” vs “dumb” creates heirarchies that allow emotional toddlers to believe they are geniuses on the basis of knowing how to code in C

i would like to emphasise
user friendly UI is for everyone
not just “beginners” and “dummies” -

@clacke It's based on a short story called "all you zombies".
to give a tiny spoiler, it's a trans story. To give a huge spoiler, next toot. -

@clacke @eniko @SmallisBeautiful feels like you’d want money to follow some laws of physics, like preservation of volume

@tobiasdm @sdw @halide the issue here clearly isn’t what they are doing- it’s that they lied about it in advertising

@stufromoz @elronxenu @MattHatton also a legacy of the previous government.
feels like labor is going “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”. if the APS guidelines are a problem, change them!

there are two wolves inside you, one figures it’s fine to make two wolves jokes since a white preacher made up the parable to exploit racist ideas about native americans and these jokes are a kind of making fun of white racism and reclaiming the phrase
the other wolf realises you’re white and it ain’t your shit to reclaim, and these jokes do kind of come off as a mockery of native culture no matter what the intent was. ironic racism is still racism

there are two wolves inside you. one is cultural appropriation and the other is decolonisation
