Truly honest question as I'm ignorant here. Please help me understand how "dark patterns" is racist? And remember, I've been asked why my horns don't show for nearly 60 years, so I'm really wanting to understand, not cause upset or argument. At all. xo
2023 is a great time to start using “anti-patterns” for IX that is used without intent and “deceptive patterns” for those patterns that are made with intent.
Let’s throw out the monolithic term “dark patterns” and get in tune with inclusive terms that do not have racist (1/2)

Today marks 25 years since the beginning of the Web Standards Project! Happy birthday, and I miss those days. I felt connected, relevant, happier, alive. Common purpose, wonderful people, and a lot of F2F together, which is the hardest part for me now. I get all emo! xo/m

Sadly, more probable he understands the significance of nothing pertaining to the rest of humanity's actual lives.

I MISS OG TWITTER! Especially for the webdev communities. I'm a union child. Labor rights. Hate posting knowing what a shit show it's been.
I declare non-violent revolt! Who is with me?

Thanks lovely! It's not over and it's deep n' wide. If you have not yet done so, check out the work @stevenpemberton and friends are doing with Declarative Amsterdam, dear Tomomi (HiHiHi) with the Dutch-based @DeclarativeAms1 - really some compelling work with that there XML ;-)
Some people are kind, it was to me to be ignored completely by people that were my closest friends who failed to say hello back. I'd rather you tell me why I suck than just let me die thinking your silence = misinformation, judgement or worse. Last chance. You know who you are.

From the GMTA book of friendship, I was JUST thinking about you too. I was referred to in a social group online as passionate but pessimistic. Not realistic when I laid out my thoughts on human lack of rising up. I believe you would have "gotten" my references. WHat is with that?

Study suggesting schizophrenia remains highly stigmatized in Germany. I believe until the unify the mind and body imaginary split and man-made problem we will be closer to wider acceptance that split splits attitudes.

On this day 116 years ago, a brilliant computer scientist by the name of Admiral Grace Hopper was born 🎉 Hopper was one of the first women to receive a doctorate in mathematics, and was an influential tech pioneer. Today we remember the mother of COBOL and her legacy 💙

This post requesting research on user experiences with forms resulting in rushed behaviors pushed me over the edge into outright rage due to interface design issues especially with forms and phones. Eventually mine all wind up in toilets, bottom of pools, thrown against the wall.
Hello. Any of you lovely people aware of research papers that might look at 'implied urgency of online forms' or 'security timeouts generating rushing behaviours'?

An interesting but probably difficult to find research topic indeed. One researcher in accessibility in the digital world would be Allen Foley, however I have no idea if he covers anything related to online forms and security timeouts causing pressured behaviors. Or worse: rage.

Oh dear, Afroman...
All because we got high, of course! 😂
