Until @ABCNetwork stands up for free speech against a coercive Government, I will be boycotting. I’ve already canceled @DisneyPlus and we’ll dearly miss Bluey.

So I almost never post to the socials anymore but I saw the most insane ad I think I’ve ever seen on my phone tonight in the news app while reading about the DNC. What in the fresh hell is this even?

Do you like board gaming and meeting UX people? Come hang out at Weldon Mills in downtown Durham at the @triuxpa game night! FYI - Weldon Mills has permission to use the parking deck directly next to the entrance even though it says OMG NO PARKING all over it.

Live chat resolves the issue. I was direct and not rude, but I can’t imagine how many angry people they must deal with. Poor souls. It cost me 45 minutes to cancel a $10 subscription fee that was unsurprisingly frictionless to sign up for under the free trial. #darkpatterns

Dig up login info to log in on my computer. No luck in those menus. Watch a YouTube video that shows that previous learn more article with a text box at the bottom. Return there and the box no longer exists, but live chat is there. /3

Welp just encountered the darkest pattern I’ve seen yet and it has reinforced my desire to not use Uber whenever possible. I signed up for a long free trial with uber one for Starbucks deliveries. I get billed for a month after it ends. So far, fine. I knew what I was doing. /1

So I dig around in various levels of menus and find cc info that it won’t let me remove. Annoying but okay. Find a separate Uber one area and a separate account area. Nothing here. Find ‘learn more’ menu, find a how to cancel article that misdirects me back up menu levels. /2

The design direction continues to be amazing for @UXYall. Great work as always @ioan_opris!

@UXYall Giant shoutout to all the people who worked so hard to make such an incredible event last year and to those working their butts off currently for this year’s event. I’m so proud of this community!

This time last year our community came together IRL for the first time in 3 yrs. We're glad we don't have to wait that long again! Relive some moments from UX Y'all 22' as we count down to the conference. 🔗 bit.ly/3sosSIY 🗓 Oct 5-6 2023 📌 Raleigh Union Station

@jdidion I’m just realizing I missed an opportunity to make my kid Sonic the Human. 😢

Are you a Drosophila biologist having a baby? Here are some nice names for your child: Swiss Cheese Cheap Date Clown Dreadlocks Dachsund Sonic Hedgehog Tinman Lush Smaug INDY Ken Barbie

The way this keeps going I definitely not surprised this is quickly becoming an X platform.

Speakers at UX Y’all share a variety of topics. From hands on design workshops to inclusive design strategies, there's always something new to learn. What can you teach us this year? The 6/20 Call for Speakers deadline is fast approaching! 🔗 bit.ly/3Bwp2yM

The 2023 theme is The Breaks. Think lucky breaks, putting on the brakes, and things you have broken (either by accident or design). What lessons can we learn from breaking apart systems, designs, culture, and our environments? 🔗 bit.ly/3Bwp2yM 🎨 @brittainpeck

@HiddenPeanuts Lol wish I’d been quicker on the draw here. Seems to be down. 😂

Don’t mind me. Just hanging out and waiting for that mastodon IPO.

@userview I was a little sad when you put it that way because that was the project I picked to give up because of bandwidth even though it sounded interesting. Hope I don’t lose my geek cred! 🤓

@JacobGeibRosch Literally laughed out loud. You know those deep, dark depths of the ecosystem for the geekiest of geeks….just saying.

I just tried to put a dumb check mark emoji after my name just being dumb and got this cryptic error. All the other emojis I tried worked so I just used a bag of cash instead. Same diff I guess. #error0

Plane had an issue so had to go back to the gate. Good news though, they rebooted it so it can fly now.

I dunno. Just please please please please please don’t unban Trump @elonmusk? While awful/irresponsible speech shouldn’t be illegal that doesn’t mean it should necessarily be condoned. Sigh. Mastodon severs were struggling a few minutes ago. Guess that’s good & bad. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
