So Google Keep's autocorrect has stopped working on my wife's phone. I wasn't able to help her, only point her at a long Reddit thread of people with the same problem, in hopes that a solution will eventually appear there.

I sure do regret buying her an #android phone to replace her iPhone with. To be fair, she had problems with the iPhone too. She just has WAY MORE problems now, and they usually aren't a matter of "getting used to android" (she's plenty used to all the #uxfail by now.)

She'll probably sell it and get an iPhone and she'll be able to be a blue bubble again and send and receive watchable videos and interact with her iMessage using friends who absolutely refuse to use anything else -- why would they? They all think android is a raging dumpster fire, and it really is.

Me? When I can afford it I'll get a pinephone pro and if that isn't up to the task I'll cave and get a Jesus JesusPhone.

Missing my BB Passport. Best phone ever.

All five x’s on this screen mean something different. #uxfail

Got a notification on my phone this morning informing me that my alarm didn't go off because background tasks are restricted. 🤦 #uxfail #uxfails #uxfailgalore #android

Yesterday, while moving, my phone in my pocket attempted multiple emergency calls and took nearly 100 screenshots. It tried various activities like doing a crossword, looking up septic pump group rates(???), viewing photos on Google Maps, and taking pictures of my pocket (screenshots of pictures, technically.) It even attempted to chat with a website support bot and adjust my clipboard settings, all while I was carrying heavy boxes and furniture.

Weird thing is, each time I'd notice, I'd turn off the screen and put it back in my pocket. I can see the emergency calls happening but how the hell did it unlock the phone to do the rest of it???

At this point I just laugh and shake my head. Android will kill us all one day, and it will be because a touchscreen got activated in someone's pocket.

Il y a un an, j'ai designé une interface où la modification se fait via une modale. Je SAVAIS que ce n'était pas une bonne idée sur le long terme, mais c'était tellement simple sur le coup...

Et ça y est, le jour redouté est arrivé : ma modale a bien évolué, et j'ai maintenant besoin de faire apparaître une modale sur la modale 😭.

Bon, j'ai pleuré un bon coup. Et maintenant, je vais essayer de limiter la casse en évaluant mes options (merci au chouette https://modalzmodalzmodalz.com/)

🌟 Инновации в #Skype, диалог с самим собой! Уже знакомый паттерн из разных мессенджеров для быстрого сохранения заметок на будущее.

Сделан, в духе #Microsoft, через задницу.

Для начала, он в разделе Favorites (Избранное). Если щёлкнуть по нему правой кнопкой, всплывает меню с разными действиями, среди которых… "Add to favorites" (добавить в избранное).
…
Што?
Так он в избранном или нет? Интерфейс однозначного ответа не даёт.

Но что хуже, убрать его оттуда тоже не даёт.

В этом же меню пункт "Hide conversation" (скрыть беседу)… ага, тоже ничего не делает.

#Safari #uxfail When you close the last un-pinned tab by clicking the little x, the entire window stays open. When you close it by cmd-w, the entire window closes. Where did UI consistency go?

Encore un site qui veut trop en faire avec la validation d'email !

lepotcommun.fr vous savez que toto+tata@example.com est un email valide ?

C'est malin, mon compte créé il y a quelques temps avec un email x+y@z.com n'est plus reconnu comme valide :-p

Today’s #BadDesign #UXFail. If it looks like a button, it should act like a button.

Yet another precious moment lost by laggy camera software. I guess I should've cleared my cache before my baby did that cute thing. #android #uxfail #UXFails #uxfailgalore

Scouts NSW has a new one-stop-shop membership management system named Scout Hub.

It's easy for existing members to renew for a new season with discounts and Active Kids Vouchers available. It's easy for new members to join for a trial.

When you're joining for a trial, you get a Scouts NSW membership number. When your trial ends and you want to stay in that group, you have to register again.

Seeing the screen below, you would think "I have a Scouts NSW membership number, I'm a returning member.". That is wrong, that is for people who already have finished their trial and stayed with the group. You woul think "If not a returning member, then a new member maybe....?". That is wrong, you are already in the database.

So, what do you need to do then? You go to the treasurer, who upgrades your account from "Trial" to "New member" (which is a different new member than when you register, because that was a trial membership). Discounts and Active Kids Voucher? The treasurers job. So much for a one-stop-shop!

Luckily I'm not the treasurer (just helping out with this Scout Hub thing) and luckily this is only once per member.

Tous les trois mois ça se déconnecte. Et alors il faut remettre le code wifi. Wtf.

Je profite de la vague X pour refaire mon #introduction

Sur Masto depuis la vague francophone de avril 2017 ( j'ai quitté twitwi définitivement en 2018), j'ai rencontré plein de gens sympas et rigolos (oui, même les jumeaux), y compris mon namour 🥰

UX designer depuis des lustres, je chouine sur les #UXFail, j'adore collectionner les copies d'écran d'interfaces déglinguées et poster des #websitefromhell qui dégomment les rétines.

J'aime ici la bonne humeur générale.

On this form, an empty string fails the "does not contain illegal characters" requirement.

Holy triple-negatives, Batman.

And what is an "illegal" character? Based on the remaining criteria, I think this means, "non-ASCII".

The whole form (which is the whole webpage) looks so 90s and amateur. Good job, Oracle.

@libreoffice has this odd behavior where if you select some text and export a PDF, by default you end up with a PDF that contains ... the selected text. This is how I've routinely ended up with PDFs containing the word "the" or "of" just because that happened to be the active cursor selection.

Classic case of "pick sensible defaults" to avoid #uxfail.

Didn't see an existing bug for this so I've opened one here, curious how the project responds to #UX issues:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156339

Trying to help my FIL access a shared album on Google photos on his iPad. I show him what icons to touch to get to our shared album, which he diligently memorizes.

Too bad the next time he does it, he ends up on a different screen -- some kind of chat screen.

Frustrated, he presses Home and does the process again. Back to the regular screen.

FIL is not a technical man, but he knows if he learns the steps to do something he will get a certain result. My FIL has learned that this is not true of Google applications, a lesson I'm happy to re-enforce.

I avoid Apple products as a matter of principle but it would be nice not to have to explain that one of the richest companies in the world can't design a UX to save their lives.
