- On doit continuer à parler d'informatique au lieu de numérique / digital
- Les machines utilisent que des signaux; elles tendent à transformer les humains en opérations purement fonctionnelles, instinctives ou machiniques.
- Le smartphone favorise l'isolation, être entrepreneur de sa vie.
- L'informatique accèlère, instantanéise tout.
- L'IA et les algorithmes sont utilisés pour espèrer pouvoir faire plus avec moins pour pallier le manque de moyens (de la justice ou de l'éducation). Cela se fait au détriment du cas par cas.
- Internet et le monde numérique est hiérarchisé
- L’informatique décuple les systèmes de surveillance des individus: les individus ne sont pas perçut comme dans 1984, mais de traiter et analyser leurs données.
- Le potentiel hypnotique de l'informatique bloque le développement des enfants et contribue à la désocialisation et bien souvent à la désinhibition des adultes, devenant alors disponibles aux violences les plus graves.
- L'informatique peut simplifier et faciliter la vie, mais rend les dysfonctionnements des machines et des applications systématiques, liés à la nature concurrentielle et structurellement instable du cadre capitaliste; quant à la sécurité, l’informatisation du monde tendra à le rendre toujours plus incertain, précaire et hasardeux (voir
- Le vote électronique est facilement manipulable et peut s'avérer (ou vécu comme) compliqué.
- L’informatisation tend en effet à nous rendre superflus, dans un premier temps notre subjectivité et notre spontanéité, notamment en externalisant de nombreuses facultés et activités humaines.
However, if not well-designed, in-line error messages can become overwhelming. For example, flagging a field as incorrect after just one character can be disruptive, especially if the person filling out the form hasn't finished typing.
There's absolutely no need to shout as users while they are in the process of filling out your form.
Find your space and don’t feel obligated to participate in any of it.
Because social media are broken.
Are CSS reset always needed?
CSS resets are based on three premises:
- There are differences in how user agents present web pages, that is, their default styles vary.
- These differences have an effect on the given website.
- The differences are important to be handled.
But there are developers that does not use these resets
- That there are sites and apps out there that do not use and that work fine without a CSS reset is pretty much never being talked about in the context of CSS resets.
- When we take the extreme positions of always and never needing a CSS reset, positions we observe in practice, then we end up with a contradiction. P & ¬P
I see one (quickfix) way: declare the content as image, then use an alt text for it.
This rely on user posting the message to do the work, among other things. I don't know how to solve it yet though.
It is not a must, but better with it!
Yes I agree too. Somewhat not on my nerves.
I have money and I have a URL, how do I send money to the publisher of that URL?
The Payment Request API is too technical.
Linking to payment methods in the page.
Podcasting 2.0 RSS has a <podcast:funding>

Flattr but the solution is not so great.

The comparisons are a nice reminder that we don’t have to take in what we put out.
I now feel reconciled that this is not a problem or a sign that we’re in the wrong line of work.
Un argumentaire en faveur des réseaux sociaux décentralisés.
UX and AI, but no single speaker addressed the training data sources, the energy requirements,
But never once did the question arise of whether it’s ethical to even use these tools.
One topic was expressed: the AI slop
There’s a quote by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen that UX designers like repeating:
Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context. A chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
As Molly White states:
There are no ethical uses of current large language models.
Similar to a gardener.
Play around with ideas, follow intersting threads and see where it goes.
When something start to make sense, a TODO list follows.
As for staying motivated during the build process, while I don't have anything prescriptive I did write a post on what works for me.
In short:
- Anchors (links) are for navigating within the current document (page) or to another one.
- The dedicated "submit" and "reset" buttons are for specific form actions.
- Regular buttons are for (JavaScript) actions.
- Links can be styled to look like buttons and vice versa.
Link for navigation.
Buttons for actions.
"Look and feel" can be adjusted in CSS anyway...
