Irgendjemand bei der Postbank muss sich bewusst entschieden haben, dass es ganz tuffig ist, wenn das X, mit dem der Dialog geschlossen wird, nicht Teil dieses Dialogs ist, sonder visuell davon abgesetzt dargestellt wird.
Bin ich allein mit der ansicht, dass das eine echt saublöde Idee ist?
Another #paper with SECUSO's contribution has been accepted for publication at the Tenth International Joint #Conference on Electronic #Voting (E-Vote ID 2025). The paper "On a Study of Mechanisms for End-to-End Verifiable Online Voting (StuVe)" von Veronique Cortier, Alexandre Debant, Ralf Kuesters, Florian Moser, Johannes Mueller, and Melanie Volkamer was accepted in the "Election and Practical Experiences" track. The authors describe the core idea of selected end-to-end verifiable online voting mechanisms and evaluate them using an #interdisciplinary approach that considers #secrecy, end-to-end #verifiability, #usability, and practicality. The paper is a summary of a study on end-to-end verifiable online voting mechanisms that was published by the German Federal Office for Information Security (@bsi). E-Vote ID 2025 will take place from October 1-3 in Nancy, France: https://e-vote-id.org/
My motivation to build a time machine:
Go find the person who made the sans-serif uppercase i look the same as the lowercase L. I just want to talk.
"Please open up our #newsletter with our #advertisement in a web browser because your #email setup doesn't fulfill our way of seeing things and therefore we'll not show you the content in your text mailer"
I won't read your newsletter any more.
I'm looking at you, #Lufthansa #MilesAndMore and similar. 
Mastodon/Tusky usability peeve:
When a post has a "Show more" button, and you click on it, and it's not merely another paragraph, but a six page brain dump… Now the "show less" button is gone way down to the bottom.
Better usability would be to keep the show-less button up at the top so I don't have to go chase it to the bottom.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Ooooh, on the map, you can actually filter for your favorites!
On the full version, open the "details" tab on the right edge of the map. Find your favorites in the list (need to scroll down a bit). Mark them with the (tiny) star next to their name. Scroll up again, toggle "favorites" to "on".
That's also where you can filter out DNF and DNS, as well as labels in general.
This is something that has vexed me completely since switching back to Fedora from macOS. It would be nice if I could just double tap a key in Gnome and pick from an overlay just like I did in macOS.

Last month, when I travelled to another time zone, for a brief part of the day my phone and I would be in a different day from my bank's systems.
The banking app would refuse to let me make payments when there was a "mismatch" of dates. This reduced the time I could pay on both ends of the day. 
I just finished a usability study of an online, data-intensive tool for use on ships at sea. Some sailors I spoke to—and screen-shared with—were on Starlink.
While at sea, costly Internet access represents video calls home, sea-state forecasts, tracking, reporting, and planning efficiency.
Using methods we don't like to build a satellite network doesn't negate its utility.
To change methods we don't like requires awareness and regulation.
Not to pick on toot.wales, because where this link leads is just one example, but it is definitely …
… an example of why some people say Mastodon is difficult to use.
Being unusable is about more than not knowing what to click. It starts with incomprehensible text and taxonomy that present hurdles in searching for elements (buttons, links) in the interface and to correctly guessing the effect of using those elements.
After decades of experiencing user interfaces, thoughts about UIs on my blog. #UI #usability #technology

A new product.
The client wonders: is the interaction paradigm is too hard for the intended customers?
They test it—on colleagues—who "confirm" the design works.
Later, in the hands of actual target users, the interaction paradigm fails. (SUS #usability was 20 ±15 points, and #learnability was 17 ±15 points—the lowest usability and learnability scores I've ever calculated.)
The lesson: recruit the right participants for #UserResearch.

"OK - I understand that you carefully went through life and de-Googled, ponied up all your money for Proton, run Arch Linux, etc. etc."
Didn't really #deGoogle my life. I use a #Samsung device with the default OS on it, so...
I don't pay for #Proton
FYI, #Linux is not bad at all.
#Don't believe I'm like the ones on #PrivacyGuides and the likes. No, I try (and often find) a balance between #privacy, #security and #usability.
I am not that kind of extreme guy who doesn't even want to hear about #GoogleCrap, #MicrosoftCrap, #MetaCrap and the others.
Responding to user pushback, Apple tones down the intensity of the Liquid Glass effect, making the translucent, glass-like elements in navigation bars and certain apps less pronounced.
