I fail to understand the idea. If creator economy is proving something to me is that objective quality of the product is useless, the "winners" are click-bait, gossip, exploitation, consumerism and outright kitsch. Platforms are t

In my professional view touch UI and desktop UI must never be interchangeable or have similarities, the ergonomic interactions of using a mouse pointer are vastly different from the processes when using a finger. UI matters for a vast major

As a recent switcher from macOS to Linux, I find KDE configurability most comfortable and focused on professional UX. Gnome UI looks childish and overblown to me. As an UI designer I can confirm that in recent years the trends to maximize e

Sadly the newspaper industry will never be restored. I somewhat adapted my information flow towards ultra limited and clean experience. My usual daily routine limits my news access to two cycles, early (5:30 - 6:00 AM) and late (18:00 - 18:

Not at all. This approach will make more effective salary or wage negotiations. As a side-effect this will lower the possibility of low payment for overtime work and will create more quality in the product pipeline etc.

The part about the music resonates with me. For the known task related to low cognitive focus I use for background classical music (Corelli, Telemann) with low volume. When I want full cognitive load (learning, coding), silence and isolatio

The answer of this question is complicated and requires mastery in psychology. In layman terms is something about religious experience mixed with father figure and deep symbolism. People need something to believe and worship, this is part o

Phones are insecure by design, in my country log-file metadata of calls and sms is kept by operators (and it is not optional), people don't read the small font agreement from long time ago. So my approach is to use the device with this

It is logical. Protect the elites with automation and control the masses to prevent a "Second French Revolution". Which may be postponed but doubtfully avoided. You will own nothing and will be happy.:)

I redeveloped the habit to call. It is more personal and surprisingly effective. People actually respect a phone call, when done properly. Texting is compromised, services never delete data.
