Fuck you you fucking fuckity fucks.

I swear if I ever have a developer do this for a website I own and are hiring them to work on, their ass will be on FUCKING FIRE.

Give the FUCKING OPTION to explain what happened, don't just go "welp! Your'e fucked!"

I have no problems with public shaming. This is Garmin's Inreach login page.

Scheint "mann" zumindest bei Honda gedacht zu haben und hat bei der Reservierung eines Probefahrttermins nicht das Ausfüllen der Anrede, sondern die Angabe "Herr" zum Pflichtfeld erklärt 😯

Lasst die Anrede doch einfach weg - in der Regel ist die Angabe völlig irrelevant und die hier verwendete binäre Auswahl ist sowieso aus der Zeit gefallen 🌈

New post: Please stop using flags to represent languages

https://chrissmith.xyz/blog/2024/please-stop-using-flags-to-represent-languages/

As someone with a background in languages and, more simply, as someone with some common sense, this has been a pet hate of mine since I first saw it in the late 90s.

Encore un twist avec SNCF Connect.
Je souhaite échanger un billet. Je commence par vouloir changer aller et retour. Voyant les tarifs, je me dis que je ne vais changer que l'aller.
Ah ? Pas de bouton "annuler", je clique donc sur billet dans le menu. Je change juste l'aller, j'en choisis un, et là paf, j me rends compte que je me suis trompée de train, c'est pas le TGV.
Ok je recommence, clic menu, échange et là l site me dit "L'échange n'est plus disponible pour votre réservation."

How utterly fucking stupid do you need to be to use August 8th as the example for how to enter a date?

Peak California passive/aggressive: looking-up my 2011 iPad on the Apple store, to see if it's eligible for a trade-in.

"Your iPad is ready to recycle!" is all the UI says, after entering the serial number; so after reading a support article, that reverse-engineers to "You don't qualify. for a trade-in" Maybe just say as much, Apple?

I'm sure it was an “interesting” meeting in the Microsoft Office team when they decided to have the "File" tab in the ribbon but also have it act not like a tab at all.

Why has adopted the dark pattern of repeatedly nagging users of the web to download an app?

There's no justification for that I can see, and it is now happening more than once per day (on the same account, device and browser) if I reload, even if still logged in.

Unity manual:

"‍To see what overlays are available in the Scene view, press the ` key to open the overlay menu."

Yes, that is an intuitive hotkey, which need not appear in any menu, and could not possibly result in someone accidentally hitting it while aiming for ESC and then wondering for years how they opened it.

Just found out the hard way that you can't individually set the language of footnotes in
🤬​

If I set the footnote on the first page which is in English, the footnote on the second page (which is in German) will be set to English as well.

Now it suddenly worked. I have no idea what I did differently (apart that I was trying to show it to a colleague). Not sure if this is better or worse 😠

So you're looking at this (very short) page in the Unity manual. Off to the right of this screenshot, there's a great big right arrow to take you to the next page as you're reading the manual. Where do you think that arrow takes you?

peterdrake,
@peterdrake@qoto.org avatar

Oh, you were guessing maybe "Canvas", "Event System", or "Immediate Mode GUI"? Very sensible, but wrong!

It takes you up a level, laterally, then down two levels to "Universal RP", because this page appears in (at least) two different places in the outline.

Periodic reminder that the "Direct Message" / "Private Mention" function here is dangerously broken with confusing semantics.

  • Anyone mentioned anywhere in the body of a PM gets a copy.

  • "Disabling" PMs in your profile merely means YOU never see messages sent to you; senders can still send them, with no error indication.

  • Nothing is encrypted, which means administrators on any instance that processes a message can see them.

I strongly recommend using something else for private messages.

@mattblaze It's so crazy to me how badly this was designed. It pretty much fits nobody's conception of what a "direct message" or "private mention" could possibly mean. How is this feature supposed to be useful? Did nobody attempt to plot out how it might get used or thought about by users?

Pet peeve: people who include tables and charts as screenshots which are too small to read, with no option to see a larger version, on a DESKTOP render of their website.

Oh, and the specific article that triggered this post is about UX research 🙄.

Also, I managed to rent a for the first time this week. It's an interesting experience - it seems to have been designed by someone who has never designed a car before, and knows nothing about for safety-critical environments.

I think I now know why Tesla drivers are always cutting up cyclists. They're too busy trying to find controls on a massive touch-screen to pay attention to the road.

@petergleick I've never yet found any voice command system in N. America that works with my British accent, so I've given up trying with them.

But at least other cars I've driven had a very clearly labelled button on the steering wheel to activate voice command. The ? I had to look it up in the manual.

I've driven many many rental cars before, and have never had to read a manual for one. In the last two days, I've had to consult the manual a dozen times, for very basic stuff

It's really hard to get a less helpful error message.

If got at least 4 USB device which definitely aren't working. I guess it is either the USB hub in the display or the external USB hub :-(

It would be great (optionally) get more details, like an USB ID
