Service design and the Mario complex

At Service Design in Government, I discovered that service designers see themselves as Mario. But that is an unrealistic model for what service design should be.

What can I do with my apps?

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2025/11/04/what-can-i-do-with-my-apps/

<p>One of the longstanding joys of the Mac has been how you can customise apps, giving them new icons and, in the past at least, even a few gentle tweaks. What’s unfortunate is that changing apps isn’t just for users. If we can alter them, so can an attacker, and the last thing any of us would want is for Safari or Preview to turn malicious. Over the years the scope for making changes to apps has therefore been reduced. This article explains how, and what we can still do.</p>
<p>To understand how customisation has been limited, we need to know what can and can’t change.</p>
<h4>Signature</h4>
<p>The most basic requirement of any app is that it’s signed. This provides a set of hashes that can be used to verify that none of its contents have been changed since that app was signed, and those hashes are hashed again to product code directory hashes, CDHashes, that are used to identify and recognise the app. Whatever we might customise in an app, its CDHashes must match its contents.</p>
<h4>Certificate</h4>
<p>Next comes the chain of trust established by the certificate used to sign the app. Developer certificates are issued by Apple as their Certificate Authority, so they each can be traced back through an Apple Intermediate certificate to Apple’s Root certificate, the chain of trust.</p>
<p>An Apple-issued certificate isn’t required for macOS to run an app, though. Because many Mac users build their own apps locally from open source, local or

A website shouldn't be a monologue; it should be a conversation. Community-centric web design shifts the focus from designing for users to designing with them. This approach builds engagement and ownership from day one.

Silphium Design's new guide outlines the entire process, from stakeholder mapping and participatory design workshops to agile development and a community-led launch.

📢 Noch 2 Wochen, dann startet das 13. Deutsche Geoforum. Wir freuen uns, mit zwei Beiträgen dabei zu sein!

Am Mittwoch, dem 12. November, berichtet Sebastian Drost über die effiziente Suche nach hydrologischen #Echtzeitdaten. Benedikt Gräler wird von seinen Erfahrungen beim #CoDesign offener Klimadaten zu maßgeschneiderten #Informationsprodukten für die Anpassung an den Klimawandel und das #Katastrophenrisikomanagement erzählen.

Fun paper with a good message:

“We shift from viewing self‐tracking as mere data work to imagining it as an ongoing conversation; from constant monitoring to ambient, meaningful sensing; from judgmental prompts to caring guidance.”

I had a great experience at Age-Friendly AI's codesign workshop (https://agefriendlyai.ie/). The workshop explored older adults' views—their perceptions, hopes, and concerns—about AI's role in daily life.
