@wizardofid @rorysutherland As I've said to others, because we've designed them that way. It's functional fixedness, a cognitive bias essentially. It would be relatively easy to design around this. Though I accept near impossible now to get people to adopt it.

@rorysutherland a hill I will die on and would like your view - mobile phones are only "portrait" by default as a hangover from rotary dial phones. In the modern age when they're mainly used for media consumption, horizontal should be default. Vertical video is not necessary.

@tom_nuttall @derspiegel Sie is the last bastion that distinguishes the (upper) middle class from the working class. Of course, they are going to defend it; accepting du means accepting that they are part of the 99%.

Just when you think you're getting the hang of Germany, @derspiegel puts duzen on its cover at the precise moment a security, diplomatic, energy and economic crisis heads Germany's way.

@EuroWynner @derspiegel Sie is the linguistic byproduct of regulatory capture. It survives where competition has been suppressed and the professional can afford the luxury of formality. E.g. doctors, lawyers, professors, tax advisors, everywhere where the market doesn't function.

Andrew Daniels 💜@design_nocodeio·
I spent the last few months using Figma + Claude Code to update a production UI. Honest take: I didn't become a better designer. I became a slower developer. The design side was fine - Figma is Figma. Everything after was the problem. Small changes took 20–30 seconds. Not because AI is slow. Because every change had to be explained, translated, debugged, and waited on. AI just became the engineer I was peering over the shoulder of. Instead of making changes myself, I'm describing elements and hoping Claude understands my shorthand. I didn't close the design-to-dev cycle. I just moved into the middle of it.

Can anyone from the @TheGreenParty in London tell me if there exists a type of housing that isn't a social housing or a luxury flat? Genuinely. Like... what is the price range for normal people in a normal home in London?
