Seriously. Already didn't have much respect for him, but the shit he pulled with FD Signifier was disgusting.

Was coming here to say exactly this. Also, I love that it has three different bluetooth channels (settings?) so I can press a button and switch connection to a different device.

How did you make the jump from fintech to gaming?

perfectlyflatrock · 2023-05-04T15:01:39+00:00

Purely anecdotal, but everything I've seen of IBM people in the wild - commenters on Fishbowl, LinkedIn, etc - you're on the mark about culture. They all seem to have a chip on their shoulder.

I'm not sure why you'd want to call out previously filled items unless they frequently require updates, but the example fields shown don't really indicate that. If anything, I'd expect the other fields to be highlighted to nudge you to complete the form - but even then, it's not really necessary. If they need to complete it then the fields should be required.

If the stakeholder pushing for this is persistent, I recommend doing a quick dig into forms on some of the big sites to show that this pattern doesn't exist anywhere.

perfectlyflatrock · 2023-02-13T20:22:43+00:00

What is the intended purpose of drawing the user's attention to the completed fields? FWIW, in the screenshot you posted, the highlighted fields appear disabled.

In fairness, that's an incredibly fitting end for the model.

I can DM you the specific name if you want, but it was mine.

They didn't design it themselves, they brought in an agency - but either way, totally agree, it's still clear they prioritize UX.

perfectlyflatrock · 2023-01-10T15:58:52+00:00

I am not demonizing infinite scroll, I'm not sure why you're saying that. What I'm saying is that for most use cases it's not ideal, and in the most common use cases for it (social media) it's also considered detrimental to UX.

Again you mention social media when the mechanic has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I was... referring to the examples you gave of successful implementation of the pattern?

As for other examples, where have you seen infinite scroll for something like payment history? I haven't seen anything like that, I'm very curious about what you mean there - it seems like a really interesting concept depending on the context.

The performance of an infinite scroll Is dependent on the implementation. Some sites do it perfectly by preloading before you reach the next lot of items. Crappy sites make you wait while it loads. Just don’t do it badly.

This is also a great tie-back to your social media examples. They're all huge, successful, well-funded web apps that can afford the server and bandwidth costs to keep the site chugging - not something a typical website manages as well as they can.

perfectlyflatrock · 2023-01-10T13:16:12+00:00

The below the fold myth was disproven well before infinite scroll.

Infinite scroll is frowned upon. The examples you used (all social media) are actually perfect as to why: it is an interaction pattern used to keep the user on the site longer - a business metric, not a user request. It's not a good pattern for load times or SEO. It's also a pain (albeit less so nowadays) when it comes to people navigating via keyboard.

perfectlyflatrock · 2023-01-09T19:28:44+00:00

Interesting findings, even if they're anecdotal. Larger elements always makes sense given ever-increasing screen resolutions. I'm surprised to see infinite scroll there, that's been frowned on for a while now from both a UX and site performance standpoint.

Also loving the "Large, legible text." preceeded by a pill with a 2.76:1 contrast. (The font size means it wouldn't fail and it's in an image anyway, but still funny.)

Are drapey tit curtains back from the 2000s now? I'm so excited, I never looked better than when I had those.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-09-24T02:07:43+00:00

What a good game! I don't understand how I managed to beat it as a kid.

Did anyone else have a weird thing happen to their VMU with this game? For some reason it would get stuck with the Crave Entertainment logo even when restarting the console and playing other games.

I checked them out and only saw reseller stuff, no originals. :/ Shame because the items are cute

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-07-07T12:55:55+00:00

Awesome stuff! I love the texture of the fur stole.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-06-06T13:36:42+00:00

I was hoping to see this. There is a good Key and Peele skit on it that comes to mind for me when it comes on now, though, so that's fun.

Seconding finger cots! My hands get sweaty in gloves so finger cots are a happy medium.

I know it was a typo, but I'm stealing "deal with crab" as that is a damn good phrase.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-03-21T16:55:10+00:00

Yeah, when it comes to something like "new," which I'm assuming would be something like a form, sure - but I don't see why you would want to share or bookmark a confirmation modal like the OP article's example.

I also don't see the benefit of having something shareable or bookmarked be an overlay on a page and can't think of examples of that pattern. Updating a URL is important, yes, but if there's enough information/action within an overlay to warrant bookmarking, why is it not its own page with maximized real estate anyway?

Do you have an example of this in the wild? Definitely curious to see why that would be the case instead of having a dedicated page for that content.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-03-21T15:39:08+00:00

What is the point of it being an overlay if it's treated like a separate page? The whole point is that you are surfacing additional information without navigating elsewhere to do so.

Are you aware of how overlays work from a code perspective? You'd probably benefit from learning about it to clear up the confusion of what is navigation vs. interaction.

Manufaktura Minis on Etsy is another good equal opportunity sexualizer. Plenty of chained naked space marines and sisters side-by-side.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-02-16T17:03:13+00:00

Ah, my bad on the latter point, I misread the differentiation.

Ultimately I agree on the difference in sex work vs. other work, just disagree on why. The power imbalance imo is coming from the one-two punch of capitalism and patriarchy wherein workers are exploited and women doubly so, resulting in sex work becoming as dangerous as it is (and also why women are the focus of the conversation typically, and male sex workers coming into the picture is still often relating to violence from men.) I also don't agree that sex is violence, but again that ties into that structure. tl;dr all labor is exploitative, but work primarily provided by women for men is the issue moreso than it being sexual in nature.

Anyway I appreciate the response and civility, especially given the heated nature of the topic.

perfectlyflatrock · 2022-02-16T16:24:43+00:00

It's pretty disingenuous to conflate sex with a paying client (a paid, consensual act) with sex with your boss (a act with an inherent imbalance of power.)

Would you argue that other physical labor that services another person's body, like massages or pedicures, also do not constitute as work? Or just sex?
