Thanks @verge for raising awareness of the downward spiral of how much the #Windows11 UX is sucking, despite the shiny coat of Mica paint.
Hi Mastodons, what are the dark UX patterns that #UXDesigners should resist from implementing and banish from their designs forever?
First off, all data analytics options should not be opted in by default, like what we do at #homeassistant. Second, stop using "recommendations" as ad space. Anything else?
#UXDesigners—stop worrying about respect from the engineers and fight the good fight for the customer, whose experience is what matters. And by “experience” I always mean success. If your designs ensure the customer gets the desired thing done successfully then that’s a good experience and the customer will appreciate it, your company, and you. If the customer fails, then all of you, designers, engineers, executives, you’re all a bunch of bozos and nobody deserves respect. #UX
3 things #UXDesigners get wrong about web development:
1️⃣ Devs don't need hi-def mocks (simplify the artifacts)
2️⃣ Hover interactions don't work well on touch screens (stop expecting mouse movements will activate UI elements)
3️⃣ Everyone hates the cookie warnings (stop that)
I'm not the kind of User-Centred Designer who sits in Figma/Sketch/design tool for 8 hours a day.
It is critical to understand people.
But so many UX designers are.
I am at a loss to understand why someone would do this.
I'm curious why. I'm sure it's complicated, and multi-faceted.
Before I go look for any prior research/explanation does anyone have more knowledge, explanation, than I?

Differences between:
