More Europeans die of heat than Americans who die of guns. Or about equal depending on how you count.

Do more Europeans die of summer heat than Americans die of guns?

An attempt to improve a viral chart.

I had some trouble with the location of UI to show more info during building placement.

Initially it was in the bottom right corner but no tester was looking at it.

Then I had it follow the building being placed, but it covered too much of the map.

I hope this is an OK compromise.

The head of digital for VP Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign provided an insightful analysis on the weakening value of paid media, why digital creators matter more now, how to engage with them, how political candidates must increase intentionality in messaging, the vital role of video clipping and clippers, YouTube’s surging importance, more evidence that Joe Rogan is an asswipe, and predictions on how AI will accelerate these shifts.

Any #UX or #UI designers out there willing to lend a hand? Even constructive criticism is useful!

There are many projects out there that have developers, but need help and suggestions on the interface and design.

If anyone is willing to volunteer, please let me know. I've talked with a few devs that are dieing for some suggestions on how to improve design and usability. #software #design #foss #ffoss #volunteer #fedi #fediverse

This creative idea of using neon green color from Sony and Apple inspired me a lot. This is also my the most favorite color. And I’m using this neon green ribbon as an iPhone holder. It’s flat in the pocket, but still there, when index finger needs it. I tried it once and since then can live without it.

It also didn’t interfere with magnetic Qi charger as any other rubber holders.

Min killgissning är att det är väldigt svårt att kravsätta med många kockar som ska vara med.

Allt måste ske via konsulter i projektform vilket leder till lågt internt ägandeskap.

Det är mycket allt eller inget projekt designade att helt ersätta något istället för del för del ta över ansvaret för det…

Jag läser om ännu ett stort projekt för att digitalisera offentlig verksamhet och jag har inte så stort förtroende kan man säga.

Är set ens möjligt att göra bra mjukvara för offentlig verksamhet? Är det någon som har insikt från insidan om hur det är att göra sådana här projekt?
