Placeholders instead of labels, that disappear when you start typing, is a giant cognitive mess. Kaye explains she would just forget what she was supposed to type. Just use labels people!
Here’s the short version:
1. Enterprise UX is not consumer UX, delightful is not the priority
2. Complexity is real, don’t simplify it away
3. Politics aren’t optional, you need to learn how to navigate it.
4. Kill the bandwagon effect
5. Be visible. Be early. Be everywhere.
6. Feed people: literally and figuratively
7. Design for roles & tasks, not personas
8. UX maturity takes time, be patient

Your favorite big tech CEO (pick one) just sat on stage behind and in support of somebody who defined trans people out of existence, side by side with some motherfucker who later did nazi salutes from behind the seal of the POTUS.

There is no going back from that

@stroughtonsmith @daringfireball yep, I used to like Gruber but his anti EU stance on everything is just ridiculous. I think he needs to get out of the US and experience the world or something. Either that or it is some kind of mental health issue.
Microsoft has once again botched their own announcement for what they consider to be one of the biggest shifts in the PC industry.

The hero feature of the AI PC is being delayed with no firm ship date - Recall has been-Recalled

This is such an unforced error on Microsoft's part and if I were Qualcomm, I would be rather angry that this is impacting the most important release in years for their PC initiative

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Hey, vielleicht habt ihr es schon mitbekommen: Zusammen mit der ARD positionieren wir uns neu am Streaming-Markt und starten mit einer der größten Open-Source-Initiativen Deutschlands. "Streaming OS" heißt sie. "OS" steht für "Operating System". Heißt: ARD und ZDF stellen zentrale Komponenten ihrer beiden Streaming-Plattformen öffentlich bereit, also etwa Player, das Login-System, Empfehlungscode oder den Kern unseres Designsystems.
Hier findet ihr mehr Infos: https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/in-eigener-sache/zdf-ard-mediathek-streaming-100.html?at_medium=Social%20Media&at_campaign=Mastodon&at_specific=ZDF

ARD und ZDF positionieren sich neu am Streamingmarkt. Dazu wurde eine enge technologische Zusammenarbeit beschlossen. Und doch geht es um mehr als Kosten, Codes und Technik.
