One of the best talks on design I've seen all year.
My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

Back in March, @pedropeguerojr.com and I hosted our first meetup for @3-3.fyi. Our next meetup will be the first time that we *don't* have someone give a presentation.
I want to highlight the great presentations we got this year because they have been *really* fucking good.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…
1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work
2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

It turned my stomach to see that team member playfully say things like "Should I delete that post for you since its an ad?" when it was a link to some small individual creator's work.
To think that's what we've got shaping strategy at one of the world's most influential platforms is very unsettling

BayerCam.app is a camera app dedicated to raw Bayer capture, which admittedly makes it a quite niche and technical tool
But I still wanted it to feel fun, and like something you could make your own, so it ships with a bunch of preset themes - and you can change all the UI colors, too.
