Quick addendum to @PavelASamsonov’s thread:

Focus your #UX practice on methodology, not tools!

Adopting a new tool is simple if you have your design workflows down: explore the new tool, understand its limitations and new-to-you possibilities, and map your activities to its feature set — done.

If, in contrast, your process is deeply entangled with one particular tool — regardless of how powerful that tool is! —, and that tool is no longer available, you might just end up back at square one.

“People are being distorted by very finely trained AIs that figure out how to distract them,” said Berners-Lee… “One of the problems with climate change is getting people to realise it was anthropogenic – created by people. It’s the same problem with social networks – they are manmade. If they are not serving humanity, they can and should be changed,” he said.

Tim Berners-Lee on the future of the web: 'The system is failing'

The inventor of the world wide web remains an optimist but sees a ‘nasty wind’ blowing amid concerns over advertising, net neutrality and fake news

Nothing humbles you quite like using a screen reader to test the stuff you built.

@nachtfunke you're welcome 🙂. The similarity is precisely what throws me off. And it's a big change, also on mobile. There has been a long thread, and now I guess it's a matter of trying it out for some time. Not sure what the result will be

@nachtfunke not a new version, but a theme change. There have been a short poll after people were taken by surprise by the change a few days ago - see Tim Chambers' profile for more information
