So after a few days with the switch 2, here's my thoughts so far actually owning it I did try it at the switch 2 experience and it was a great time demoing the new console and games But now finally owning it it's just such a comforting feeling being ready for a new generation of Nintendo games

This is true but can anyone help me understand why? Like what is that box supposed to do and why doesn’t it do it?

Fin tråd, värt att notera - i princip ingenting av de saker som det ligger politiska beslut bakom har genomförts av högern. Ingenting.

Been thinking about and poking at lexicons related to longform blog posts for a little bit now, and I have so many thoughts. I started poking at this because I want to write, but I don’t have a good workflow, or audience yet. I just have ideas for stuff so far, here are some 1/🧵

The failure of water privatisation in England continues with Thames Water and failure of government to bring company back in public ownership www.theguardian.com/business/202... Private investors continue to seek a model to milk users For alternatives check out @weownit.org.uk @epsu.bsky.social

Haha this means I’m last right? #css #survey

My takeaways from this year's @localfirstconf.com Last year we collectively were at the stage of “hey this syncing tech is cool, you don’t need the cloud as much” and “hey, we have a community here, who knew?” This year it felt like the community had more cohesion and sense of identity.

NEW PROJECT! For the #TTRPGManifestoJam by @jellyfishlines.itch.io, I just made a messy rough quick zine compiling some of my best advice and opinions on #design thinking and process pro tips from my pocket notebook. I hope this helps a #gamedesign #indiedev or two. đź’– feypop.itch.io/dezine-1

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

I set up a feed for my blog, but it wasn’t without issues. rosenqvist.design/blog/adding-... While trying to publish this I had to reinstall the plugin again so the problems are still there and I can’t figure them out. But I have a feed! #rss #11ty #blog

CSS/UX Tip đź’ˇ Not everyone is a fan of transparent backgrounds or glassmorphism design. The prefers-reduced-transparency query allows devs to change the UI depending on whether users have chosen to reduce transparency or not in their OS settings.

Hur i….??

Figma doesn't resolve edit conflicts. They straight up ignore them. Here's how (it's genius):

You know, it occurs to me now, that the argument about "STEM folks needing humanities" sucks in framing. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that existing humanities frameworks are anywhere near adequate for the problems we're actually facing. Would they be a good start? I'm not even sure.

It's been 18 amazing years! Time to say goodbye đź’ś It feels surreal to type this, but after 18 years, it's time for me to try something new. Today was my last day at 1Password. Long thread ahead! I shared this with the team internally but wanted to share publicly too. 1/14 đź§µ

Det står stora summor på spel för koncernerna. De flesta ägs av fd politiker, utländska riskkapitalister och fonder. Väljarna vill inte ha vinsterna och inom borgerligheten förs en hård kamp om vilka vägval som bör göras. Centerpartiet blir en nyckelspelare. Här kommer *tråd*.

I'm experimenting with a way to show how DOS games render themselves. Basically I'm recording a lossless video of the game running on a very slow (virtual) CPU, then removing all the frames where nothing happens, and I'm playing it back sped up a lot.

I feel this in my soul

I guess it should come as no surprise that a service doing Twitter cosplay will start making the same mistakes as Twitter. It should always 1) recognise a world beyond the USA exists, and 2) not force anything on users by ensuring there are ways to *permanently* turn something off.

Very interesting thread about translators being one of the professions that can show us how automation through LLMs can play out for other professions. More precarious working conditions it sounds like but not complete replacements

Amazing work. A bit rough right now but could be a great tool for communicating what goes into immigration processes

Ibland får jag frågan vad man kan göra för att hjälpa till i kampen mot de stora skolkoncernerna. Mitt trista svar är att fler måste orka sätta sig in i skolmarknadens ekonomiska villkor så att vi tillsammans kan krossa myterna om *små vinster*. Så snälla läs den här *tråden*!

20 out of the 27 EU countries today signed a declaration condemning Viktor Orban's ban on pride parades in Hungary. The map very much resembles the old iron curtain divide, with the glaring exception of 🇮🇹Italy which has joined with Hungary and 5 other Eastern European countries in refusing to sign.

Doing an interview with one of the bsky UX designers, what should I tell them to add

Lots of good examples of workflows for AI in this thread

"Tror Anna-Karin Hatt att väljarna är dumma i huvudet?" Tiopoängstext av Klenell! Jag är själv osäker på svaret på frågan. Hon är kanske van vid att det räcker med den här dimridån? arbetet.se/2025/05/26/t...

Interesting perspective on remote work. I’ve worked a couple of years fully remote before my current role and, yeah, I felt less of a connection to the company than when working in office. The coordination problem is also 100% true

hey does anybody know of like an index or site where open-source app developers can signal that they're looking for help in the UX department? like, so people looking for UX experience can get practice on something that actually ships and real people use, instead of figma doodles of hypotheticals?

I want to do something like this for Swedish government websites as soon as I have time and energy and not 100 other projects at the same time

I was the lead #UX #designer for the USWNT and USMNT mobile app for US Soccer when it was first published. I worked through tons of data visualization ideas, collaborating with a stellar #design and development team, but the client wouldn’t bite. These are some of my sketches. #DataVisualization

The 2024 design tools survey is out. www.uxtools.co/survey/intro...

What lessons can we learn about the fact that MCP got more adoption as a quasi-open standard in a few months than the entire fediverse stack has in nearly a decade? (Or two, depending on how you count.) Obviously, they’re in different domains, but there are some parallels…

Det går om man vill. Vi kan och måste för att få ett fungerande samhälle.

We had some discussions this week about how to approach a UX strategy in the car industry. I put some of the thoughts down on paper and how it relates to the customer lifecycle model rosenqvist.design/blog/ux-sale... #ux #automotive #blog
