This new #OCR feature in #KDE is fantastic! 🎉 Sadly it's only for Spectacle for now but having OCR as a library is on the road map and I hope it gets added to Gwenview next. The built-in OCR in macOS Preview is so useful that I wondered why KDE still doesn't have it natively yet.

Hey, #UX #UI people: if I have cascading list boxes i.e. where the values for box 2 depend on what is chosen for box 1 - and for some values of box1 there is ONLY one value for box2.. is there some design principle that would suggest defaulting to a null value for box2 is preferable to preselecting the ONLY value available?

As I continue to slowly roll out Trixie to more of my fleet: my first virtual desktop VM (my mail client system) to be upgraded works fine for a while, then randomly seems to lock the screen and blank my VNC session after a few minutes of inactivity.
If I log into the VM console from the hypervisor UI and unlock, the VNC comes back.
Wonder what's up there...

hmm on Ubuntu 24 this says it's installing and after it's done it's not installed and just goes back to looking before I clicked the install button.

Phanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.

I have not updated my main Mac to the new OS. I have updated my laptop, and regret it. I am concerned about security updates but I believe Apple provides security updates for not-too-old versions.
This UI, though, I just do not feel comfortable with it. I am hoping I can skip this major version and that the next one will be more in line with Apple's historical attention to getting UIs right.
Please don't respond with discussion about the UI, but: please do respond if I am making a security mistake by holding off on the update.

I've recently asked me again if beautiful means powerful.

Chrome now has a bug where if a web page pops up "log in with Google" it happens in the browser UI, not in the web page UI. And it freezes things up enough so Ctrl-W no longer works to close the tab while the "log in" dialog is displayed.
Good jerb! I suspect this is related to some monopolistic practice of Google favoring their proprietary, privacy-invading login system in their browser.

It was approaching time to renew my Global Entry Membership. One of the questions required for renewal was to list the countries I’ve been to since 2020.
Each country visited had to be selected from a list. The UI was excellent. I could type a substring and the options would be limited to countries containing that substring ✅. I couldn’t find Turkey. Searched Tu, scrolled the unfiltered list no Turkey.
WHY?

Wow, Apple's issues with one of their most important core values (#UX, #UI design) does seem to be worse than I'd have expected.
More and more complaints do pop up in my bubble.

It ended up dying a miserable death but everything around the myspace reboot back in like 2012 was so slick and well done. The redesign did ditch the customizability they were known for but the new UI was genuinely so cool to see back then, and the updated logo that wasn't the total dogshit minimal bullshit some companies like to do now.

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.
Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.

Recent #Mastodon releases have introduced new features, at the cost of growing web UI clutter. I hate the additional clicks required for the most common actions, but perhaps it's an acceptable cost?

I tried the Fedora Atomic Cosmic Desktop iso and it was very impressive. Cosmic is the most responsive UI I’ve used that isn’t called Workbench. Sadly, Steam had some issues with controllers and while it seemed solvable, it didn’t seem like a clean solution. I’m going to miss Cosmic and will definitely check it out again once it is really done because it is super cool. Now, Bazzite is installing away.

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?
