I teach undergrads at a prestigious programme in a research university. Most of my students don't know how to copy a file from a folder to another on their computer. I teach computer-based skills and it's often a source of grief and self doubt to these able, confident, well off young people. On a few occasions, of tears.

My mother, disabled and with a mental health condition, has dropped out from her #cancer treatment because she wasn't able to get through the ticketing system at the reception of the hospital. She lived in the capital, had a caring daughter available on the phone, and a network of support.

I just got a glimpse of the #autism treatment in the #Netherlands, a progressive country with high digital literacy. Autism diagnosis requires a referral from a GP, but the GP does not necessarily know much about autism and autism treatment centers are extremely specific about what needs to be mentioned in the referral. I am told that many autistic people have difficulty making phone calls. The autism diagnosis and treatment facility can only be contacted by phone. The waiting time for appointment is 30 weeks and, when the appointment takes place and your case turns out to differ in any way from what your uninformed GP has written in the referral, your case gets rejected and you have to get a new referral and start again. The GP could get instructions from the treatment center via a dedicated system called zorgmail, but neither side knows how to use it. If you manage to log into the online appointment system that is, which does not work and has no contact information to any support. I, a numerate computer nerd who enjoys puzzles, needed three days to crack it.

What is this micro-blog about?

#uxdesign saves lives

#uxdesign should be obligatory in the process of #patient intake and journey

Digital medical services should be accessible to teenagers with confidence issues and elderly people terrified by a terminal diagnosis.

#UXDesign is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work and #UserResearch.

In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.

Behöver hjälp!

Jag använder typsnittet "Loved by the king" i #Wordpress -temat #Neve

Nu vill jag minska avståndet mellan ord, dvs #kondensera raden.
INTE radavståndet!

Hur gör jag??

Jag är nybörjare på CSS och wordpress.

Sprid och dela för extra mycket kärlek från mig.

I've been here for about a year without an #introduction, so here it is

I'm linuxjava7 (I go by many nicknames)
- #opensource and #freesoftware enthusiast
- #gnome lover
- I do #uxdesign as a hobby and enjoy #design as a whole
- I like #urbanism
- I do like #cars (and if that seems contradictory, it's not)
- I also like #linguistics, I'm studying #Arabic, and some other languages on the side.
- Also have #autism with #adhd aka #AuDHD

I mostly lurk around but occasionally I post some stuff

The thing I really want from quote boosts/quote posts on Mastodon?

Put the quoted text first, then put the commentary or reply *after it*.

This shouldn't be a weird idea. As the old adage puts it:

Because it reverses the normal order of reading.

FREE LABOUR!!! #UX #c3ux #UXresearch #uxdesign

Looking for an UNPAID UX internship/apprenticeship.

By this I mean, I graduate as a UX designer soon. I’m lucky enough to be able to do unpaid work, to gain real life experience.

Whats in this for you, Senior UX designer?

- You can delegate any task to me, I will pay extreme attention to your instructions and try to give you exactly what you want

- I’m a ridiculously fast learner. Someone once said ”you’re not even an ’explain once’-student, you’re just kind of reading my mind. An ’explain 0 times type of student’”

- I want this to be valuable to you, more than it is to me; I want to take on the tasks that you find the least fulfilling.

What’s in it for me?

- If possible, I would love to shadow you and just kind of observe how/what you do. No need for me to ask you about it, I’d rather just observe your process.

- Getting insight into the industry right away while my knowledge is still fresh, rather than spend the first 6 months after graduation applying for jobs (and be competing with people with much more experience for those same jobs)

- learning workflows as they are in real life, in all of their imperfections, and how experienced UXers approach problems

Good #uxdesign doesn't automatically translate into useful outcomes.

There's a certain doomed approach to product that looks like "we will build this feature so that users can use it." It is immediately recognizable to many creatives as working "for exposure" - the unfounded hypothesis that putting something "out there" will somehow lead to some kind of impact.

It won't.

Worked on the Status editor :)

A little thing about all of the UI that I showed you:
- All of them are for now ONLY design.
- This is mainly a design for me to be able to make them more easily and quickly later on, while I will make them they could change / be updated, but the main style is here to stay.
- All of these UI can be changed by your own plugin.
