Ken McLeod@csilverman Every day there's a road you choose to take, and a road not taken. So it's clearly unlike software, where your choices are ACCEPT or ACCEPT LATER.
@_the_cloud urgh yeah, "right now" and "maybe tonight".
I actually thought about using those, since some of these drawings are indeed intended as swipes at cursed UX patterns, but I liked the simplicity of "accept" vs "decline".
Her DoingI am so glad you went with these! It was much more meaningful to me than if you had gone with something else.
Also, if you had chosen something like 'Accept' & 'Accept later', I wouldn't have liked it at ALL.
(My mind didn't go to the software angle until I read the comments & would have been quite happy to have missed that.)
But I quite like this!
@Her_Doing @_the_cloud "Accept" and "Decline" does have a duality/contrast that I thought was powerful. Fair warning, though, I might at some point do one of these with "accept" and "accept later". Like I said, I enjoy combining surrealism with bad software patterns, and the Kafkaesque decisions forced on users by these companies provide good material for surrealist scenarios.
That's okay - you do you!!
Some of your work I think is just weird (I say this in a good way!), some doesn't do much for me personally, but I appreciate the idea or the technical aspects, some I really like, and a few I ADORE. 🤩
I look forward to each one because at the very least, they all make me *think*.
Just for me, today / these days, I really appreciated the simplicity and no compromise of 'Accept' or 'Decline' in this particular piece. 😊
