"All media is social media now. And it’s not just why this is a story that’s gotten so under my skin [...]. It’s also the involvement of the Guardian. Its leadership has issued what amounts to a cease-and-desist letter of anyone questioning anything about its decisions and is now gaslighting Jason Arday’s family and friends and anyone with a pulse who witnessed this entire episode in real time."

One of the most useful German nouns is the Swiss coinage "Verschlimmbesserung", which is a portmanteau of Verschlimmerung (deterioration) and Verbesserung (improvement) and describes the act of making something worse in an attempt to make it better.

@xahteiwi it's a fantastically useful word. Unfortunately because it seems to be the underlying design principle of so many organisations in modern life.

As someone who regularly helps elderly, low-vision, low-English-literacy & other folks who are struggling to understand them manage their phones (I know @jessamyn does this too), I cannot begin to explain to you the rage I feel at the designers & development organizations who foist these UI choices on a public not remotely equipped to navigate them.

The controls are overwhelming, still. They’re couched in jargon, still. They’re hidden somewhere non-obvious, down the end of a four-node decision tree. Fifteen years after I left the industry things have only gotten worse. And the worst bit of all – as I always insisted then, based on my own extended observation – is that *users internalize the blame for their inability to comprehend the UI*.

They wind up feeling stupid and incompetent. They wind up bewildered and scammed. They feel terrified to hit the wrong button, and then not be able to find it again. It’s so, so hard to watch. It breaks my heart, and it makes me furious.

@HarriettMB yeah I’m not a fan of those when people frequently rely upon readers to find and read the reply https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/117014819372004000

@CCC
"Herr" Evers sollte erstmal in die Sicherheitsinfrastrucktur der Verwaltung investieren, den deren Nutzen ist zu 100% bewiesen.

@sintrenton Yes, we know. The Socials are not 'a one-to-one conversation'. When you say things to Nazis, people who might be attracted to them see a point of view from outside their bubble.

And Hafez—
how beautifully he spoke to us:
In this revolving house of time,
let fragrant roses steal your reason,
so that the heedless soul,
whose multitude walks on foot
while others ride,
may finally understand:

@jpm
It worked!

They got our attention:)
