Exactly, use the power of creation and make it all together in one day

neeeeeerds

I had a Samsung phone (A20E) which was by some margin the most terrible piece of technology I’ve ever used. Barely functional a couple weeks from buying. This is anecdotal, of course, but since those are mass-produced and supposedly identical from unit to unit…

The big one or the small one ? I’d rather be the small one tonight if you don’t mind

I don’t think I have played any of those games, do you have specific examples ? (of characters)

Can you elaborate ?

I’m sorry I can’t answer your question, but I’d like to know as well. So far I have found that most tests I’ve looked at were quite vague, as in I was often tempted to reply with nuance when the test expected a binary answer. There’s this same problem about figuring out intentions : the intentions of test questions themselves are sometimes hard to understand.

Pretty cool I didn’t know that at all

I am trying it out given all the praise.

• I can’t create more than 5 (!) tags in the free version
• it can’t export notes in anything else than borked text files in the free version (formatting lost, no markdown, no pdf, no html)
• it doesn’t let me choose where I store my notebooks, in fact does not tell me where it saves them at all
• backup files are not human-readable, they don’t appear to be zip files in disguise, they are seemingly locked to notesnook (“.nnbackupz”)
• the importer/converter is on the web, and requires me to upload all my plain text MD files for conversion

I use QOwnNotes on the daily, which does not have any such limitations. On the other hand, it’s a markdown editor, which means your monitor space is divided by two : it has separate editing & preview panes. It’s honestly a bummer because apart from that it’s pretty much perfect

I thought you still needed to plug the VR headset into a computer ? is the computer built into the headset ?

They are the same picture

The inevitable Luigification of Musk, this weekend, and weed

Over here rainy season is called Kashikazi and it has to be my favourite : long, rainy days, lush nature, vibrant greens, warm ocean. Kusi is the dry, “cold” winter we are about to enter… any day now.

I can hear this picture

Indeed

I sure hope so

Sure, it would have to happen on whatever they use as version control system

Wow. For editing purposes ?

It is worthless, in fact. Because it’s not actionable. Read what the above user said again :

Every time I open gimp to try and get acclimated to it, I close it back out of frustration. Nothing is intuitive in that software. Not even the naming of the tools settings.

Nothing in here is specific enough to do anything about it. Imagine you’re a developer, and you read this. What do you do ?

As users, we may not be able to program stuff, but we can do so much design work. Making mockups takes some time but it’s within our reach. Let’s all contribute to the best of our ability. If all a user can say is “Nothing is intuitive”, then their feedback can only be dismissed. Because it’s not actionable.

I’m not involved with Gimp development, I’ve been watching it from the side, so I can’t tell if there’s an actual lack of contributions related to UX design -but so far I have only seen the public respond with the same sort of vague feedback : “the UI needs work”. Unfortunately that’s as unhelpful as it gets. Spending some time designing interface mockups, or writing up descriptions of how such and such feature should work, now that’s helpful, and is something pretty much any user can do.

I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn’t tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example

Yea, I believe that’s true. And it is always a resource problem, because with limited resources, developers focus on making the thing work first, look nice second
