@mattly oh it had a QR code too :-) just not for the relevant link I needed :-(

When we send holiday letters out, instead of including badly printed pictures, we throw the pictures in a Google photo album and put the QR code on the letter

you know what's wild, is getting printed matter in snail mail with action items to go to a URL and the URL is underlined as if you can just click on it

@mattly amazing

@mattly did you tell them, "you have that backwards, it's mychart that is not tech-savvy" ?

@mattly i love this deck

...where I work, a chunk of that slide deck is decribing how to determine what we call a "CUJ" (critical user journey) in order to build the MVP and run it.

(you'd think that would turn out better for our users... well, maybe it does, once alternatives are considered, I'll shut up now)

wrt the deck overall, I'm just gonna tag my friend @smore as she will also love this deck I think.

@mattly are you _really_ surprised?

@mattly it really is

@mcc keeping in mind this framing,

figma doing it really makes me wonder if it compromises the ability to patent the work a firm is doing with Figma as the basis for UX/UI design

@mattly well, read the news! the GOP figured out how to remove the speaker from the House! can't be that different, right?

After a couple false starts I really am #CurrentlyReading "Security Chaos Engineering" now, and I can tell it's written by engineers because they think "This" is a noun.

Don't use "this" as a noun in writing!

Since engineers love to do so: "this" is an imprecise back reference. In regex, you must be precise with them: \1, \2 etc. In writing you don't have that luxury, so use your words to be precise. "This" as a noun works in inline comments, but in writing the reader needs more context.

@mattly does it work? Have you tried :q! ?

@mattly if you are looking at #hachyderm "explore" tab on the mastodon web app and click on a post, then "back", the list a) refreshes and b) puts you in a different place (neither the post you were reading nor the approximate scroll position you were before)

I do not have ADHD, and I still hate it. does not take me long to give up and go do something else, the ever-refreshing-reranking feed of what's popular is not _that_ compelling

@mattly true! the ads still autoplay. I wonder often how much it contributes to global warming; often the autoplaying ads block the device from going to sleep.

that's desirable if you are in a VC or watching a video with intentionality. other situations, not so much

@mattly ha!

...actually, it would be though? if there is a standard for how to do that then there will be a standard for setting the browser to avoid or opt out.

ditto for all those interminable "Allow J Random News Site with the interesting news story du jour to send you notifications?
[ ]Yes [ ]not now"

@mattly 😒

@mattly a lot of sites try that anyhow, popping a ad when you mouse off the edge of the page or click close

@thomasfuchs neither is Apple really

@mattly my condolences

i had something similar happen to a 4mo old puppy, years ago, it's very painful.

@thomasfuchs 🤔

marketplace of ideas makes me think of the stock market but isn't it called stock market becuase of all the cattle driven to chicago and sold for beef and that means there really is a lot of bullshit

ok sorry, couldn't resist i'll go away again

@mattly i feel this! ...used to work on a project where the trailing whitespace on markdown was automatically stripped on submit

"look it's in the spec" fell on deaf ears
