Sometimes I’m playing with Kitten and something makes me smile. This time, it’s an error message. Always nice when you get a little hat-tip from past you to current you. Thanks for putting in the work, past me ;)

Dear #Microsoft , your #MSWindows #GUI insists on having window borders measuring 1px wide, which we get to grab to resize the windows. With a mouse that seems easy. Try again using a touch pad when cold and shivering, or tired, or in a dusty machine mill with a trembling floor. Don't even get me started on people suffering central tremors, cerebral palsy, or other physical limitations.

Recent datepicker experience:
1. Control is presented as three separate spin controls, supporting the Up/Down Arrow keys to increment and decrement the value as well as manual typing. But because they're not text inputs, I can't use the Left/Right Arrow keys to review what each separate one contains, only to move between day, month, and year.
2. I tab to year.
3. I press Down Arrow, and the value is set to 2075. I'm unclear how many use cases require the year to be frequently set to 2075, but I can't imagine it's many so this seems like a fairly ridiculous starting point.
4. I press Up Arrow, and the value gets set to 0001. The number of applications for which 0001 is a valid year is likewise vanishingly small.
5. I delete the 0001, at which point my #screenReader reports that the current value is "0". Also not a valid year.
6. Out of curiosity, I inspect the element to see which third-party component is being used to create this mess... only to find that it's a native `<input>` with `type="date"` and this is just how Google Chrome presents it.
A good reminder that #HTML is not always the most #accessible or user-friendly.
Microsoft war mal Vorreiter bei UX & Usability. Die Älteren unter uns erinnern sich noch.

#Шиндошс #soft #GPU #usability
Решил, например, почитать книжку в #PDF. Я думаю, не только лишь все согласятся с тем, что рендеринг мелкого текста, да с засечками, на ×1080p мониторе — это пичалька. Да, движок субпиксельного сглаживани делает всё правильно, но для глаз совершенно некомфортно. Хочтся «покрутить настройки», бида в том, что их нет 
Поэтому, вспомнив, что в #Matrix-чяти #TechTricksChat:unredacted.org пробегала ссылочка на утилиту для фанатов поиграть в ретро-эмуляторы — https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass, попробовал ее заюзать по иному назначению.
Коротко из официального описания:
ShaderGlass
Оверлей для запуска шейдеров графического процессора поверх рабочего стола Windows.
Функции
- Применение эффектов шейдера поверх любого окна на рабочем столе
- включает в себя RetroArch покрытие библиотеки шейдеров RetroArch:
- Моделирование ЭЛТ-монитора
- Масштабирование изображения
- Симуляция ТВ / VHS
- смягчение, шумоподавление, размытие, повышение резкости и многое другое
- Работает с большинством эмуляторов, ретро-платформ и редакторов пиксельной графики, включая:
- DOSBox , FS-UAE, Альтирра , ScummVM , AGS, VICE, Aseprite и др.
- Отличный компаньон для рисования в пиксельной графике, показывающий затененный и/или скорректированный по соотношению сторон предварительный просмотр
- вы даже можете использовать его поверх YouTube, Twitch или современных игр
- Сохранение и загрузка профилей
- Несколько режимов работы, включая полноэкранный режим без рамок
- может быть захвачен OBS (с использованием источника Game Capture)
В общем, прозрачное для кликов мыши окно, которое висит поверх других и корректирует картинку. А уж как использовать — моделировать просмотр ностальгического прона с VHS на ЭЛТ-телевизоре или, наоборот, повышать комфорт чтения — дело сугубо личное

Who deciced one should not be able to simply copy text using CMD-C keystroke from a Sharepoint docx like from EVERYWHERE ELSE but one must use use a mouse to popup a single element dialog menu? What else would anyone do in a read mode after selecting some text 
I want names so I can send UX hatemail to the person.
Brand new infrastructure in Fairview, Dublin. Zebra crossing over cycle path. Onto that knobbly surface for blind users, to show them pedestrian crossings. This surface guides them past the footbridge and into a crossing that doesn't exist over a 5 lane road. The non crossing also has a barrier, directly in front of them. It's a disgrace

Ebenso unglücklich bin ich beim Ersatz von #GoogleCalendar auf #Android. Ich bin mal ruckzuck vom Regen in die Traufe auf #Samsung Kalender umgestiegen, aber die Wochenansicht mit zwei abonnierten Kalender per #ics URL ist doch sehr, sehr bescheiden. Welche App könnt ihr mir empfehlen, die vor allem mit #Usability punktet? Danke für eure Hinweise. #unplugtrump

Is Security Human Factors Research Skewed Towards Western Ideas and Habits?
Really interesting research: “How WEIRD is Usable Privacy and Security Research?” by Ayako A. Hasegawa Daisuke Inoue, and Mitsuaki Akiyama:

Schneier on Security · Is Security Human Factors Research Skewed Towards Western Ideas and Habits? - Schneier on SecurityReally interesting research: “How WEIRD is Usable Privacy and Security Research?” by Ayako A. Hasegawa Daisuke Inoue, and Mitsuaki Akiyama: Abstract: In human factor fields such as human-computer interaction (HCI) and psychology, researchers have been concerned that participants mostly come from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) countries. This WEIRD skew may hinder understanding of diverse populations and their cultural differences. The usable privacy and security (UPS) field has inherited many research methodologies from research on human factor fields. We conducted a literature review to understand the extent to which participant samples in UPS papers were from WEIRD countries and the characteristics of the methodologies and research topics in each user study recruiting Western or non-Western participants. We found that the skew toward WEIRD countries in UPS is greater than that in HCI. Geographic and linguistic barriers in the study methods and recruitment methods may cause researchers to conduct user studies locally. In addition, many papers did not report participant demographics, which could hinder the replication of the reported studies, leading to low reproducibility. To improve geographic diversity, we provide the suggestions including facilitate replication studies, address geographic and linguistic issues of study/recruitment methods, and facilitate research on the topics for non-WEIRD populations...

New washing machine was installed yesterday and today I’m seriously considering making a spreadsheet of all the programmes. Or maybe an iPhone app.
30 years ago on my Human-Computer Interaction post-grad we studied the usability failings of VCRs. It appears that washing machines are the rightful heir to this infamy.
The manufacturer is clearly aware of this as the machine has a “fuck it / don’t care” button.
