Xの自動翻訳の話が流れてきた。かなり前にLinkedInでもやってたし、Youtubeでもよく出くわすけど、私はイラッとする派。翻訳するなって話ではなく、いつどれをどの言語に翻訳するかはユーザー側の選択肢であるべき。 あと、誤訳の可能性も軽視すべきじゃないと思うけどなー。ちょっとした言葉のかけ違いが外交問題になる例もあるよね…。何でかわからんけど、いまだにあのサイト、政治家の人達たくさんいるじゃん…? #UX

"If you’re reading this book, it’s because you want to join the elite. You want to count amongst the Navy SEALS of information technology." I went and bought the book "Ed Mastery" from @[email protected] today. I am now reading it. There is no excuse, I should have done this a long time ago: "ed(1) is the standard Unix text editor" https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/?product=ed #NowReading #Bookstodon #book #ed #unix #theStandardTextEditor

Why do AI collaboration tools fail remote teams?

Maybe the issue isn’t the tech—but how we structure the work. When collaboration is misapplied, AI doesn’t fix it—it exposes it.

Are we designing for alignment… or just adding tools?

People who work at @Mastodon recently revised and screwed up our home pages. Before @Mastodon staff made our home pages worse, it was easy to go to my home page, click on Replies, and see the replies that I sent. After they made their unfortunate changes, I do not know how to find the most recent reply that I wrote. It could be impossible to find, now that @Mastodon staff made a good thing much worse.

Front-End Fools: Top 10 April Fools’ UI Pranks of All Time | CSS-Tricks

These are the historical pranks I consider the top 10 most noteworthy, rather than the “best.” You’ll see that some of them crossed the line and/or backfired.
