Ross of OttawaMastodon/Tusky usability peeve: When a post has a "Show more" button, and you click on it, and it's not merely another paragraph, but a six page brain dump… Now the "show less" button is gone way down to the bottom. Better usability would be to keep the show-less button up at the top so I don't have to go chase it to the bottom.

RaspyReasons why it’s obvious that Freeform.app was and still remains half-assed:No keyboard shortcutsExtremely janky-jumpy zoom in/outSearch sucksShapes only align center to center, not top edge to top edge, etc. Resizing is really badCan’t link to a shape from another shapeLines aren’t intuitively going out of shapes, must be added separately to the canvas. They drop at a random place and need to be dragged twice to connect two shapes to each other. So bad I deliberately avoid creating any content that requires arrows or lines in Freeform. Searching text in images works nearly everywhere in Mac OS built-in apps, not working in FreeformAnd once again, keyboard shortcuts, really? Being able to add a description to an image is a must to pass the accessibility release gate (voice over), yet being able to use a keyboard for navigation and performing actions isn’t?This app has been made poorly. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/freeform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freeform</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usability</a>

HabrКак «оживить» discovery-процесс в продуктеПривет! Я — Женя Крупина, менеджер по развитию продукта, ex UX-исследователь в Контур Фокусе. В начале года мы решили «оживить» discovery-процесс в нашем продукте и с помощью разных активностей нагенерировать новые точки роста. Так появился Discovery Month — серия необычных групповых активностей, направленных на работу с текущими гипотезами и на генерацию новых. В статье расскажу, что мы делали и что у нас получилось в результате. Наш опыт будет полезен продактам, маркетологам и исследователям в любом продукте, особенно в зрелом.<a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/932152/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://habr.com/ru/articles/932152/</a><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#discovery</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ux</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usability</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#команда</a>

HabrТенденция повышения usability и упрощения установки отечественных средств обеспечения ИБВ условиях стремительного развития информационных технологий и постоянного роста числа киберугроз особенно актуальным для средств обеспечения информационной безопасности становится usability (удобство использования). Этот термин подразумевает не только легкое и интуитивно понятное взаимодействие пользователя с программным или аппаратным средством защиты, но и возможность быстрого и эффективного применения его функционала — как для предотвращения угроз, так и для оперативного реагирования на инциденты без длительных подготовительных действий. В статье подробно рассмотрим и сравним актуальные методы установки программных средств обеспечения ИБ. Так как именно от выбранного способа установки зависит скорость и простота внедрения решения, возможности масштабирования и обеспечения отказоустойчивости, а также нагрузка на специалиста, ответственного за разворачивание того или иного продукта.<a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/ussc/articles/932786/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://habr.com/ru/companies/ussc/articles/932786/</a><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#информационная_безопасность</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usability</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#установка</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/iso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iso</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#виртуальная_машина</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#контейнеризация</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#docker</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kubernetes</a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ansible</a>

This being strong authentication, they don't want you to do it all the time, so they also let you save a device key.Of course, this being <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a>, they cocked it up.Storing the key works on my phone. For some reason, the app fibbles the key on my tablet. Don't know if this is just an older Android version quirk or what. So now, I've saved a bunch of useless keys that do nothing.This being Google service on Android, I had NO idea what the key storage feature is actually called. Finnish version calls them "key codes"? After a bit of digging they're apparently supposed to be "passcodes". There's an entry in settings but it doesn't let you manage those keys. There's now a bunch of cryptic number-cookie keys and I have no idea which one was the one that let me log on my phone. Wtf. (And I don't use this expression lightly.)

pascoda (vacation edition)Ooooh, on the map, you can actually filter for your favorites! On the full version, open the "details" tab on the right edge of the map. Find your favorites in the list (need to scroll down a bit). Mark them with the (tiny) star next to their name. Scroll up again, toggle "favorites" to "on".That's also where you can filter out DNF and DNS, as well as labels in general.<a href="https://followmychallenge.com/live/tcrno11/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://followmychallenge.com/live/tcrno11/</a><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TCRno11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TCRno11</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usability</a>
