The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡

For all of my complaining about the of kitchen appliances, my new Breville oven is actually astoundingly good.

Not only are the controls clear and easy to use but there are small little touches that are just very well thought out. For example when the timer gets close to zero the internal light turns on automatically.

Does anyone have a good working definition of what an "intuitive interaction" a means? Not academically as such, think something usable as design principles.

I currently working with:

"An interaction is intuitive when it is learned and understood through the act of doing it once"

The key for me (I think) is in the "act of doing it" bit. Learned by doing and simple enough that's it's understood as you do it.

As GitLab 17.0 is coming next week, it looks like my very polite reminder nudge might have encouraged the maintainers to request reviews from specific people for the automatic ("system") light/dark theme mode implementation, hopefully this lands in time for 17.0 🤞 so that we don't have to wait another full year to enjoy this and improvement, even if somehow considered experimental: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/150254#note_1895251010

I think with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:

  • not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
  • just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.

I took some time today to learn how to make a trendline graph for statistics pertaining to 2 similar processes for one of my clients. This is created using , a visualizer by the company. The does not switch to dark mode easily: it takes a lot of tinkering to get it to look good. As far as goes, Qlik can improve their application a lot.

Today, I scheduled a pickup with UPS (Belgium) through their website. The process took me 47 minutes. I came across broken links, horrible translations, and lots and lots of mystery meat. It's a clusterfck. Needless to say, it’s inaccessible as fck too. How is that even possible?

There is so much bad here that I hardly know where to start.

If you are a professor, this is an excellent design exercise: improve this. I'm sure ANY student could make this far simpler and easier to use.

I have a short video using this that makes it ever more clear this was designed by a dysfunctional design team. This is a if you're curious.

What's your favorite desktop application?

For design inspiration, I'm trying to gather a list of desktop apps that are fun/enjoyable and don't have a corporate/enterprise feel to them.

Not games or streaming apps though. It feels like desktop app design hasn't kept pace with modern web app design but maybe my searches aren't using the right terms.

I realize this is subjective, but I'd still like more examples. 😁 Thx!

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)

Hey / community, how do you source skillsets outside of your core dev team's wheelhouse, be that volunteer or paid?

@DProofreaders is embarking on a proofreading UI redesign and the dev team doesn't have deep expertise. What we do have are two existing ~20-year-old UIs, a laundry list of requested improvements, and a very opinionated community.

Any suggestions on how you find someone to help you wrangle that?

I cannot communicate how much I hate the "long press--to do things" interface pattern.

What does it do? No idea; every control is different.

Is it discoverable? Only in the way the corner of a coffee table is discoverable by your shin.

Is it accessible to folks with motor control issues, or who use screen readers? Also no.

Gah.

Questa voce fa parte 2 di 4 nella serie Troppo Cloud Gaming

Ieri ho effettivamente provato un po’ il Switch dal 3DS in portatilità, alla fine, e… che dire. 7/10. Certo, ogni tanto la connessione fa scherzetti e il gioco inizia a freezare per un po’, ma nel complesso si gioca con un lag accettabile e un video senza strani artefatti, veramente apprezzabile. Devo però capire perché in certi rari momenti il client crasha completamente invece di riuscire a ristabilire la connessione, e temo anche la batteria del 3DS si appiattisca troppo velocemente con questa … ma vabbè, a sistema consolidato potrei anche usare il telefono. 🐚

Visto che voglio provare meglio il setup, mi sono portata avanti e ho fatto un programmino per che legge direttamente gli input del gamepad virtuale e li invia alla ; quindi, eliminando quegli altri due programmi necessari, sostituendoli con uno solo. La finestra inoltre visualizza il video da dispositivi di cattura standard, e quando lo implementerò riprodurrà anche audio, quindi sostituirà anche il riproduttore multimediale… per ora non ho ancora la scheda di cattura HDMI, quindi devo ancora usare SysDVR, ma almeno mi mostra il video della webcam (che mi serve per navigare nei menu di sistema, il DVR non lo trasmette), quindi già scendo da 4 app e finestre a solo 2. ✨️

https://octospacc.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/image-1.pngImplementare la lettura degli input del controller, e l’invio al demone sys-botbase tramite socket TCP, è stato un po’ intricato, ma alla fine il codice è venuto pulito, i tasti rimappabili tramite file config, e sorprendentemente sembra tutto ben funzionante dal primo momento… Nel senso, i comandi sembrano rispondere bene senza particolari accorgimenti; anzi, anche meglio di NXController, perché io invio direttamente i valori degli stick analogici alla console, mentre lui deve leggere valori rimappati alla tastiera e quindi tutti digitali. In effetti non ci avevo pensato quando mi era venuta questa , ma effettivamente ho migliorato la mia anche in questo modo, ora ho input più precisi. 🤏️Volevo inizialmente usare Ren’Py, ma ho subito scoperto che non include funzioni per accedere ai dispositivi video, né tantomeno ha la classe camera nella sua implementazione di , quindi… ho usato semplicemente Pygame, e in poche righe di codice funziona già tanta roba, anche se la UI non è delle migliori. Dovrò investigare se davvero non ci sarebbe stato verso di usare l’altro engine oppure si, perché potrebbe tornare utile in futuro. Ancora versione molto WIP, diversi bug da sistemare, ma almeno l’ho già caricata … poi creerò anche dei pacchetti standalone (che includono già e le librerie) per Windows e Linux. L’ho chiamato comunque, meglio evitare qualunque pretesto di violazione del trademark di per il nome … 🚨️

Ma, ovviamente, non era un mio secondario se non saltava fuori un inaspettato mentre programmavo e testavo… il codice che controlla la versione dell’OS di pygame.camera è rotto su Windows Server, e quindi l’inizializzazione fallisce… evviva. L’ho identificato e sistemato subito, ho anche inviato la PR , quindi non è stato un vero problema, però… che cazzo, non è possibile che tutto quello che finisce in mano a me si rompe… trovare bug in librerie così utilizzate e famose senza fare nulla di particolare non è roba da tutti, eppure ormai siamo ad uno a settimana, e chissà cosa mi riserva il futuro. 💣️

OK, on the @elk on kind of work but it is extremely rudimentary and also rather buggy. This is sad because otherwise has the best of all clients
