Yesterday the German Pre-#CHI 2026 started at LMU Munich. The idea of the event is to provide an opportunity for #researchers from Germany and neighboring countries to present their accepted CHI 2026 papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Tobias Hilt and Mattia Mossano will present the results of their papers "Why Johnny Checks but Doesn’t Alert: Reporting as the Missing Step in #Verifiable Internet #Voting" and "Development, Evaluation, and Implementation of SEQR – a #Usable #Secure QR code Scanner". The Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2026) will take place this year from April 13 to 17 in Barcelona, Spain. Registration for CHI is open and the program has already been published.

By "#usable" I mean that you can #browse #profiles (instead of just beeing presented with what the #algorithm thinks you might be interested in, is profile text centred (and not picture centred), #search for #profile #text items, just be able to (send and) receive #messages even if I have not "liked back", ... -- #alovoa actually is pretty #unusable as I find it)

A #nonfederated #mastodon instance e.g. :-).

Does, as alternative to commercial #dating platforms, something like a #fediverse instance or other #noncommercial/ not-centrally-owned platform aimed at finding people for private connections exist which is #usable [s. reply]?

By "dating" I mean: Not limited to (but not excluding either) #romantic or #sexual encounters, but also to find #friends‍hips, "#platonic"/‍#aromantic #relationships, #buddies for #activities, etc.

And I wish openness for #queer‍ness, #nonbinary, #agender, #lgbt* etc.

Sweden and Finland have #accessibility in their digital DNA.

Other countries are still in an early stage or apply it in an inconsistent way.

Are we designing with accessibility because law says so, or because we want #products #usable for all people?

@markwyner @renchap @Gargron Cool idea! Make #UI #accessible & #usable for wide range of users. Contrast ratio is important.

@mu This is one kind of reuse center that I found on the web. It's something a local library could sponsor. Also, there are places that do that with building materials (#HabitatForHumanity #ReStores).

#CreativeReuse Centers Benefit #Communities & the #Planet

"What Is a #CreativeReuseCenter?

"A creative reuse center is a #CraftThriftStore and so much more. It’s a business or nonprofit organization that collects #usable materials, leftovers, or surplus creative supplies and redistributes them to the community for reuse. These organizations accept donations from individuals as well as manufacturers, industry partners, and businesses. Donations can be in the form of leftover craft supplies such as your craft stash. They may also include cabinet or flooring samples from a home renovation company or the end of a roll of vinyl from a sign manufacturer.

"Each center makes decisions differently and has different donors and #donations rules, but the ethos is consistent: They help people see the potential in useable waste as art. The creative possibilities of cast-off materials are limited only by the imagination of the artist. Creative reuse is all about #upcycling and #repurposing: elevating and #reusing an unwanted material or item into something entirely new with purposeful value."
