@npub1lrv…tth9 100%. In turn, that greed has completely killed innovation. (Real innovation, not "you have no buttons inside the car now" innovation.) Instead of whining about "the market" and "the charging network", these companies could have invested in it. It's a slow motion wreck.

@npub1c35…9pmh If you think that's bad – and it is – wait until you get to the buying part. Not enough burner email accounts in the world.

“Apple has killed its electric car plans…”
That’s good!
“…to focus on generative artificial intelligence instead.”
oh.

The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was introducing likes and shares as actual metrics to give a shit about

@npub1c35…9pmh This is extremely troubling.

@npub1j46…3gm7 From where I sit, anecdotally, I've seen UX and UI very smooshed together to the point you mention – there's no research happening, and UX is solely seen as a wireframing production activity, so "just make mockups" is where things go. I would argue it's common in immature organizations, and in my job search I can say I've also seen a lot of this.

@npub1qmc…v6gx I mean, honestly, I thought your post was super helpful and interesting and well-positioned as "this isn't capital-A Analysis". This said, whew, I have totally been in the room when executives see user research analysis that contradicts their pet ideas and it is very much seen as an attack. (I trust you've seen that too.)

My turn. I have been out of work for over a month; the Fediverse is where I ordinarily joke and goof off but time is tight.
I’m a content, UX, and digital leader with 20+ years of experience. I’ve grown and started departments from scratch, agency & in-house.
Looking for remote opps in the US in leadership or senior IC capacities in content, UX, CX, IA, and digital strategy. Open to freelance but prefer FT.
Bonafides are on LinkedIn. Thanks for sharing in advance.

@npub1c35…9pmh There was a late rumor stating one would need to buy prescription lens inserts for this thing... and that... seems not good.

So Montana just banned Zephyr from attending or speaking during floor sessions, keeping her at home for voting remotely.
They didn’t formally expel her. But man, isn’t this an analogy for what they want to do to all trans people.

#[0] Eric, I would have been thrilled (and a little scared) if this was the final toot of the thread.
