Kagan MacTane (he/him)TextEdit is driving me nuts. Not only is there no way to make "paste without formatting" the default (and they call it "paste and match styles", which is just... WTF, your mindset is so utterly backwards from mine), but also they made the keyboard chord for it completely finger-breaking. Seriously, ⌥⇧⌘V? Try putting your fingers on all those keys at once. Especially compared to the ease of ⌘V!Someone was just being an asshole.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacOS</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TextEdit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextEdit</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BadUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BadUX</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BadUXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BadUXDesign</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/asshole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#asshole</a>

Adrian RoselliI left a comment last week on Smashing’s “Design Patterns For AI Interfaces” (which is still in moderation): <a href="https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2025/07/design-patterns-ai-interfaces/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2025/07/design-patterns-ai-interfaces/</a>Essentially, if your UI doesn’t also try to prevent harm then it might be a shitty UI. I linked to my generic LLM chatbot attestation UI: <a href="https://adrianroselli.com/2025/02/generic-llm-chatbot-attestation.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://adrianroselli.com/2025/02/generic-llm-chatbot-attestation.html</a><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a>

Brian Dear<a href="https://mastodon.social/@marcoarment" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@marcoarment</a> Completely agree. Further evidence that Tesla-style bad <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> design “principles” are making their way into other software. (Imagine this kind of design on a screen in a moving vehicle. Good luck with the hand-eye coordination, requiring taking your eyes off the road — what could go wrong?)Also, does the latest generation of UI designers have toothpicks for fingers?

Dave RahardjaI’m a little saddened by the gradual embiggening of font sizes on desktop computers over the past 25 years, mostly thanks to the web. Going from 11–13 pt as the standard systemwide font, to the 15–20 pt standard found on websites, is wasting so much real estate. Not only does this make system text look tiny next to web content, window chrome has gradually grown to balance out the appearance of web content as it takes over the desktop, with bigger and bigger swaths of empty margins to make the visuals work better.Going back and forth between high-density system text and web content is jarring. I also miss my real estate. My 16 inch display feels just as cramped as my 14 inch display 20 years ago.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/typography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#typography</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fonts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fonts</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#web</a>

Mohammad Rafigh - TechNeoComment will come with "Forest" and "Beach" themes both available on light and dark mode 🤩. I need to show some more details for items in Explore view which is currently not available in the "trending" APIs of NeoDB, so I will have a hard time to initiate multiple requests to NeoDB instances. If I face rate limits I might be forced to show less items in the explore.Thanks to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@penpot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@penpot</a> I'm not a designer but Penpot made everything much easier for me.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NeoComment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NeoComment</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NeoDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NeoDB</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Penpot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Penpot</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a>

AmyFou 🕊️what controls when submenus open downward vs when they open upward? Here on the 'don, my 'emojis' submenu typically opens downward (boo - it often goes past the bottom of the screen) on a first try, and upward (yay! always works) on a second try.Screencaps from a submenu in calendly.com that opens downward (yay! all options visible!) when it's the at the top of a list, but upwards (boo! opens *behind* a spacer that obscures several options).<a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#webdev</a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/css" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#css</a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/sorcery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sorcery</a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/oops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oops</a>

Brian Dear<a href="https://mastodon.social/@marcoarment" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@marcoarment</a> Just a theory, I know zero things:It used to be that Tesla hired, or at least aspired to hire, mostly <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a>/#UX/#IA people.

Gilles DePemig :TwinPines:I have a problem, and I'm curious whether I am alone with this. When I land on a page where I need to login, I so often click the wrong button. Aside from stupid dark patterns, this has to do with the words:- Log in - Sign in - Sign upI think the issue is that when I see "Sign", I am alarmed thinking, "nope, the other button", even if "Sign" is followed by "in". Maybe, because the combination "log in" - "sign up" is more common than "sign in" - "sign up".Am I alone? <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/login" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#login</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/signup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#signup</a>

jasegI finally came around to writing up the details behind the CSS-only code listings I use on my blog. These listings wrap on page resize with line continuation markers, show scrollbars past a configurable minimum width, support native text selection without the line numbers being copied, and number lines in plain CSS without any JS involved.
