I’m putting together my equipment list to outfit the pool hall project proposal. I will use top quality billiard balls from one of two companies, most likely. What I’d pay, however to be able to design my own balls and pick the typeface for the numbers. I’m so freaking picky when it comes to typography that I even want to pick my own font for the NUMBERS on billiard balls. 🎱 #design #billiards

I genuinely do not understand the point of "humanoid" robots. If there's a task you need to automate, surely the best approach is to change the task to fit cheap robots, not to build expensive error-prone human-like machines? The examples in this latest article make no sense. Handling cargo containers: The whole point of containers is to make it easier for machines to handle them without human limbs. Ground support equipment: surely wheels would be more useful than legs? Even the example of cleaning cabins: isn't that basically a glorified roomba? What am I missing? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwp87j1llvo #robots #ai #design #automation

@adef187@jorts.horse it's called #ViolenceCulture and intentional. Because the #USA is purposefully antisocial in #design and #politricks. I mean, look at #Canada, #Switzerland or even goddamn #Serbia and you don't get the same shite [adjusted per capita] despite Swiss Men keeping their Service Rifle at home and Serbia being so chog-full of guns that 30+ years later #CivilWar remnants dominate the black market. #CarCentrism is #AntiDemocratic and it's designed to alienate!

Designers are good people. Some designs exclude people anyway. Alan Dalton explains why—too much to remember—and offers a practical fix: accessibility personas that help you recognize problems while you’re designing, not after. Homework included.

🪼☂️ Un parapluie méduse, ou comment transformer une averse banale en apparition marine assez improbable. Transparent, bleuté, bordé de franges comme des tentacules, même la pluie mérite parfois un peu de poésie marine. #Parapluie #Meduse #JellyfishUmbrella #Design #2tout2rien

Kids (teenagers) are using computer-assisted development (Claude and others). But what they produce is weak from a system design perspective. Let's teach them about contrast, UI and usability (UX)! Better now than never. #webdev #ux #ui #design #accessibility #a11y #claude #ai #llm

How do you change the default font for LibreOffice spreadsheet app Calc?

This question illustrates how ux and ui design still has a way to go in major open source projects that seek to compete with popular proprietary software.

  1. The method is not where you’d expect it.

  2. It doesn’t change the default for Calc, only for that file.

  3. Normal users shouldn’t have to mess with “templates” and give them “specific names”.

  4. If the above is wrong, that adds weight to the fact that a fairly tech confident person couldn’t find the correct answer.

If I was a billionaire, I’d set up a Foundation to sponsor work on open source UX and UI design.

Hello #Mastodon! Time for an #Introduction 🌿 I’m a designer passionate about #IntentionalLiving. I founded #CleverPrinty to create minimalist, tactile tools that help you reclaim focus from digital noise. I design professional systems (printables) that transform boring discipline into visual, habit-building exercises. No more "app fatigue"—just you, a pen, and your goals. Looking forward to connecting with #Creators and #Designers! #NewHere #Design #Productivity #Minimalism #DigitalWellbeing
