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.
Alternativen zur Google Suche
Vielen fällt der Umstieg auf andere Suchmaschinen schwer und ich verstehe das Problem nicht.

It seems that #Scrum / #SAFe websites are terribly afraid of C&P and are perfectly fine throwing #Usability and #UX out of the window

“I’m Not a Designer But…”, by @adamsilverhq.bsky.social:
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

@stuffbreaker Is this a "Hot Take"? I thought this was _just the facts_. 
If there is a developer between you and an end user your user is the developer. Make their job easier, bring #a11y to the surface, bring #performance to the surface, bring #usability to the surface by making it such that what is easy is what is right and what is right will serve their use (maybe the end user) in was that they would likely not have done without your #designSystem.
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

Empower users to become experts
<div class='e-content p-summary'>I think there is a misconception that simplicity in app design is the ultimate goal. While an intuitive design is crucial for onboarding new users, it’s equally important to provide pathways for users to deepen their engagement and expertise over time. This journey from newbie to expert not only enhances user satisfaction but also creates a loyal user base.</div>

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.
