Wondering if this would be useful?

When you say "we don't need user research, I already know what users want" this is what you look like

Most meetings are bad, and most attempts to fix it merely reduce the *amount* of meetings, rather than do anything to improve their usefulness.
This is an opportunity for #UX designers aspiring to "do strategy." But hi-fi artifacts won't help you here; their purpose is to document decisions that have already been made.
Lo-fi artifacts only appear skippable when seen alone; i…

Big tech is laying off user researchers in droves, because it believes that coercing its customers is more profitable than silly things like "making good products people want to buy."
But now the FAFO pendulum is coming around, with Amazon's $2.5B dark pattern settlement and #a11y lawsuits galore.

#KDE folks, and #UX folks in particurlar, what am I to make of this Dolphin behaviour with #Nextcloud where some have ⮾ and some have ✅ but a hover makes them disappear? Where would I have been told what they do?

Content warning: web access design, state of play
Excellent article from @…, including both an overview and illustrative examples.
As an occasional web-tinkerer, I couldn't fully understand the web design details like a professional would. But from the parallels with event organising, I can tell that the overall vibe is spot-on: don't treat access as an afterthought which can be tacked on later, build it in from day 1.
"If you don't know enough about disabled users to understand their needs: find out. Knowing enough about accessibility to know when to seek out specialist guidance, and to understand it when you get it, should be a core competency for standards engineers. ...
"Getting this right requires a bit more work up-front, but – just as it is with front-end development – ultimately saves potential years of clean-up work (or having to scrap projects after years of effort), as well as avoiding harming disabled users."

Content warning: Audacity revamp, interesting video
I've used Audacity from time to time, so I was a little bit curious anyway, but this video from Tantacrul was really interesting on more fundamental topics too:
• change management
• technical debt
• usability
• discoverability
• defaults
and balancing the needs of newcomers against people who've got used to things working as they do now.
Respect!
(Audacity is audio editing software, simpler than e.g. Reaper or ProTools.)
