@MartinEscardo Mostly because almost anything nowadays goes over the #Internet which is still adding substantial delay because of extremely inefficient #programming, sometimes causing hundreds of requests for one single user interaction.

Back in the old days, we had software that was much more optimized on algorithm level, less layers, everything local since network connection was a rare thing to have. 👴

I just finished a new blog post on Design Fiction and Cartography. This will hopefully be one of the first of these types of posts. #GIS #DesignFiction #Cartography #HCI https://justincolegis.com/2026/05/05/design-fictions-and-pushing-the-boundaries-of-cartography/
Design Fictions and Pushing the Boundaries of Cartography

Design Fiction A lot of current PhD work and research is about using design fictions to push boundaries and develop discussions of what is needed, even when what is needed is not possible in the cu…

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to attend a documentary screening and panel session where Prof. #FredericoFaggin was the guest of honour. This was organised by the #Italian Luxembourg Chamber of Commmerce and introduced by the Italian Ambassador to #Luxembourg. #Faggin invented the #microprocessor and designed the #4004 #8008 #8080 #z80 and later on via #synaptics #touchscreens and #touchpads .He is a true #pioneer

We cannot design the experiences of those who use our artifacts and devices, she says; we can only put in place the conditions under which users can bring forth, through their actions, an embodied experience of the world that includes the things we build. Our interactions with artifacts and devices are physical interactions, even if partly or wholly simulated.

A Dialogue of the Senses: Designing Interaction With the Body in Mind by Sile O'Modhrain, MIT 2026

A comprehensive introduction to embodied cognition for designers of interactive artifacts, systems, and environments.
In this introduction to embodied cognition and the design of interactive systems, A Dialogue of the Senses, Sile O’Modhrain argues for turning the interaction design process inside out.

  Découverte du jour, grâce à @maxbonhomme : la démo du zine "Cyber Rag" crée par Jaime Levy et encore un super exemple de ce que permettait Hypercard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orzdl8V0qBc
"The first edition of Cyber Rag was made in HyperCard and is a Macintosh disk filled with bizarre pictures, sound, animation and words. [...] It was made as a Master's Thesis project for NYU's Interactive Telecommunication's Program in 1990."

🔍 Do privacy labels actually change how people behave online?

Our new paper, “Visual Privacy: The Impact of Privacy Labels on Privacy Behaviors Online,” published in ACM Transactions on Social Computing, investigates exactly this question—and provides both a scalable technical solution and empirical evidence.
