a useless and potentially harmful notification. it can be a tedious task, and sometimes impossible, to find a working driver for your printer, and this one suggests you should just go ahead and remove perfectly configured printers from your system. for what? #ux #uxfail

"Print Cleanup Notification
We noticed you have some unused printers. Would you like to remove them?" "Yes"

Can somebody PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE take away the cocaine from Google's so-called "UX" "designers"? I beg you so much!

Can someone explain to me, why Apple Music removed the possibility to click on „Last Played“ to display the full list of last played songs/albums/playlists? Why would some fart sniffing PO decide to remove that? Or did my HomePod just drop the ball and suffer from amnesia?

Cool to see a recent update of @monocles Chat (Jabber/ XMPP app) added the ability to follow social feeds created in apps like Movim. When I go to the Feeds tab it even suggests a bunch of accounts for me to follow. Unfortunately every one I've tried says "could not subscribe to feed".

The dialogue reads:
Your organisation is enforcing app updates. You will need to save your data and quit the following apps before the time indicated.

Airport bar: scan and order through this link, it’s so easy!
So easy link: we are going to ask for your name and email address, and phone number, but choosing a different country code takes like 10 taps, and if you wanted to autofill your phone number, we change back to a different country code, because we hate you and don’t want to pay UX designers, hahaha.

Ok no I give up. Every time you click inside a text box, the sidebar vanishes and it makes the whole diagram jump, which is really painful on the eyes. Totally unusable. Very very disappointing - how do they manage to fuck it up this badly? #UXFail #LibreOffice

#LibreOffice's 'Welcome' dialog has an 'Apply' button. I despair. #UXFail

Thanks a bunch @Mastodon, that's a really great search result.

„Unbegrenzter Tarif“, „Unbegrenztes Datenvolumen“ … „Mehr Daten buchen“

Die UX von Sauerstoff-Mobile ist an der Stelle aber auch kaputt 😂. Mehr als unendlich? Wenn ich den Button drücke, kommt eine Auswahl, in der ich „TV und Sicherheitspakete“ buchen kann 😅

#uxfail You get 1000 characters, but only one line to type them into. And I have like 60 of these to do. Now typing in vim and copying/pasting.

Il est pas vilain le site de l’INSEE pour le recensement de cette année (charte graphique de la DINUM), sauf que c'est ENCORE codé avec les pieds !

Un des premiers écrans, où le mail est demandé et lorsqu'on fournit, par exemple : toto+insee@chezmoi.fr, le site vous engueule en indiquant que cet adresse est invalide !

Alors que non pas du tout ! Relisez la RFC boudiou et arrêtez de vouloir en faire trop !

Oh my - the UX on cff.ch just got way worse... Where I could change the date and enter the time with 2 clicks, I need 10+ clicks now to change the date and the time. Definitely a FAIL...

Did they even test this on real users?

Is there an alternative interface somewhere?

Dans le même temps, en 2026, j'ai juste eu besoin de faire un glisser / déplacer du fichier CSV dans un autre outil qui n'a rien d'un tableur (tableau blanc collaboratif) pour que cet outil crée un tableau avec les données du fichier CSV.

Je n'irai pas jusqu'à tester dans #OnlyOffice / #CollaboraOnline / #LibreOffice , mais je suis tout à fait persuadé que ces solutions font le job.
