I have a lot of empathy for #GNOME users who struggle to figure out a way to do unattended graphical remote desktop to their own computers, as it silently refuses to work when the screen is locked or blanked.

There's an extension to work around that security limitation, but you have to know such a limitation exists to begin with.

Here I am suggesting an explanatory label in the GNOME Settings app to alleviate this for the foreseeable future: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/3716

Wer im B2B-Bereich barrierefrei denkt, handelt strategisch:
Barrierefreiheit ist mehr als ein „nice to have“, sie ist ein echter Erfolgsfaktor und entscheidet über Nutzbarkeit, Reputation und Compliance. Gleichzeitig erweitert sie den potentiellen Nutzerkreis und reduziert den Supportaufwand.

Kleine Verbesserung bei Threema: Mir ist jetzt erst aufgefallen, daß beim Erstellen von Nachrichten mit Link dieser nun nicht mehr sofort geöffnet wird, wenn ich den anklicke (oft versehentlich oder zur Korrektur). 🙄
Jetzt erscheint ein sinnvolles Menü. 😄👍

SECUSO Research 1d ago

The #paper "Implementing and Evaluating the Usability of Reliable Voter Complaints in E2E Verifiable Remote Electronic Voting" by Tobias Hilt, Christian Mack, Philipp Matheis, Benjamin Berens, Tobias Länge, Rolf Haenni, Reto E. Koenig, Philipp Locher, and Melanie Volkamer was accepted for publication at the IEEE European Symposium on# Security and #Privacy (EuroS&P 2026). The paper examines a novel approach that allows voter to reliably file complaints in internet #voting and introduces several #usability improvements for an existing internet voting system. Results show that 73% of voters were able to successfully utelize this novel approach and the overall usability of the internet voting system could be slightly improved. EuroS&P takes place July 06 to 10, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal: https://www.eurosp2026.ieee-security.org/

Зачем нужны нефункциональные требования к ПО и откуда их взять

Всем привет! Меня зовут Наталья, я ведущий системный аналитик в MWS. В ИТ полно примеров того, как попытки решить задачу приводят к появлению совершенно непригодных инструментов. Формально они работают, но пользоваться ими либо крайне неудобно, либо невозможно. Кнопку вроде сделали, но кривую и не там. Сайт работает, но падает под нагрузкой. Парковку предусмотрели, но только для 10% клиентов. Проблема в том, что в центре внимания чаще оказывается то, что именно должна делать система. А вот тому, как она это делает, уделяют гораздо меньше времени. В этой статье разберём, что такое нефункциональные требования, как их грамотно формулировать и какие подходы помогают выявлять их на практике.

My frozen options are limited, though. Many contain ingredients I'm outright #allergic to or my body responds poorly to. One line I used to eat frequently was discontinued on #Canada and that narrowed things down even more.

And the expense! As mentioned above, the #disability pension disabled people in #Alberta rely on has not been increased since 2016.

Not that this pension was ever particularly generous, but I've never felt truly food-insecure since grocery #inflation began ramping up so overtly over the past 5-6 years.

My family member observed (correctly) that making food can be much cheaper and i definitely healthier than the options I presently rely on. But they also know the physical challenges I face and the implications, so they assessed the kitchen not just for #access to various parts of it, but also to rearrange for usable #workflow.

A specific example: A family member came to visit and even extended their stay a few days specifically to make my kitchen #accessible, as in #functional, for me.

As mentioned, the kitchen has been my 'nerve-centre' for dealing with much of these past few years' cascade of #emergency issues that have been particularly hard on folks like me with no #HeatTolerance and also bonus #LungProblems during #ExtremeHeat and also #Wildfire events.

Much of its floorspace was filled with the strata of attending to and doing my best to mitigate these urgent problems, even those that relate to #lease restrictions and #SocialHousing not choosing to upgrade units to meet this new reality.

In many ways, this was not a big deal for me: I don't feel safe using the stove/oven (#balance and #tremour issues). My #arthritis doesn't handle preparing cold meat for microwave or toaster-oven cooking, so I eat frozen meals and graze from various pre-prepped options such as crackers.

Dr. #Rogalla und A. Bode haben es bei ihrem Vortrag auf den Punkt gebracht:

"#Barrierefreiheit ist kein Feature. Es ist #Usability für alle."

Das ist genau da, wo wir mit Luna LMS andocken. 🚀

Many references to specific technologies though are very dated now, and I think the conversation around specific practices (such as logging and the ethics surrounding it) have progressed significantly since 1994 when the book was published. I’m interested to see that progression, but I don’t have the bandwidth at present to dig through academic papers and blog posts.

Pretty much read through _Usability Engineering_ (Nielsen) now, and I’ve learned a lot. Does anyone have recommendations for similarly digestible books on the subject that have been published more recently?
