Reminder that starting a post with "Reminder that" doesn't provide it any more credibility, no matter how much its author believes in their opinion being an indisputable truth. It's just a rhetorical device.

If someone is paying you to make UI, you have a a professional ethical duty to understand *who* the marginal user is and their situation, and to build to their constraints, not your preferences or priors.

If you aren't doing bakeoffs, or failing that defaulting to the simplest possible tech stack, you are not meeting your professional baseline responsibilities.

• Designer Ken Isaacs reposing in his modular, rather DIY-looking Superchair, date unknown. The Superchair is a cube maybe a meter and a half on a side, made of wooden structural members that are bolted together in a way that permits their rapid mounting and demounting, which contains a cushioned, adjustable, rather comfortable-looking seating surface; two shelves with books on them; an adjustable bookstand; a sideshelf with a coffee mug on it; an overhead lighting fixture; and a pleased-looking Ken Isaacs.

• A tumblr post from user "gay-irl". It consists entirely of a "Lecturing Lisa (Simpson)" meme, in which the slide Lisa is lecturing from reads "Your teacher dies at the end of Hogwarts Legacy and can't be saved. Also, Rookwood is the one who cursed Anne." Under that is a reply from user "wizardpotions" that reads "there's no way I'm letting you losers enjoy your antisemitism simulator." (remote)

It's so annoying that UK doesn't have real Post Offices any more.
Cost cutting reduced them all to side jobs in local grocery stores, serviced by people who can only say "that's not my problem, I'm not Royal Mail".
