It was unavoidable that this week I'd end up writing about Apple's latest blunder. But in the context of Figma's Sites bullshit and Shopify recasting designers as "artists" it's even worse than one OS making a stupid decision.

The mission of UX is being changed: from making shit work, into branding
Apple's Liquid Glass is a grim portent for UX
Industry leaders like Apple and Shopify are redefining design excellence from making products usable to solely luxury branding.

I enjoy Cory Doctorow's succinct 'on-the-button' ness of many of his words.

"Popular movements should strive to increase their members' joy, not demand their deprivation."

that outside of @mckenziewark.bsky.social and some others basically no marxists are even trying to engage with pissed off techies annoyed at how things are currently run would is unbelievably funny
Nobody hates VCs more than software developers who have seen those exact VCs destroy products we used and companies our friends worked at.

kia ora @ethanmarcotte.bsky.social . Just tried to buy your book from Booktopia in Australia (nearest spot to Aotearoa NZ). Sadly, Booktopia has suspended all sales and is in liquidation. Wondering If there might be other nearby options, trying to avoid Amazon ...

After discussing with other anti-fascist activists I've decided to appeal the case for a restraining order against Phil Arps, this will be expensive but if 1000 people give $10 I can do it

Waikato Uni academics – an ethicist and AI prof – offer this vague incoherence ("it's Mabo, it's the vibe.."). Topic calls for something more substantive than this. Laughable

Stealing an observation from a friend elsewhere: amazing how the Free Market Good people think the free market is suddenly bad every time it means paying people more for having a scarce and valuable skill
This is pretty unfair, actually it's really fucking unfair, it's prickish! How dare they complain about push back when every day they push Māori harder #NZPol

I think most people and institutions still hold a belief (consciously or not) that harassment happens when someone does something ‘controversial’.

That allows everyone (except the victim) to minimise it, because maybe on some level it was self-inflicted or deserved when they got their hands dirty.
