I wrote a blog post that's a fairly detailed how-to on conducting usability testing for free software: https://samuelhewitt.com/blog/2019-08-27-how-to-run-a-usability-test-on-free-software-linux

My attention to detail for icons is at the subpixel level. It may only count for a few fractions of a pixel, but it's a few fractions of a pixel more legible. (Left: new, right:old)

It's been two weeks at Purism
and it's still surreal that it's my *job* now to work on GNOME
design.

against what I feel would be disingenuous use of this platform I will set up a twitter bridge...what are some that I can use?

tinkering away at https://computefreely.org/

Folks livestream their drawing and art, and I've considered doing the same while working on a mockup or icons or something but I'm not sure there's the same appeal.

I attempted to spin my own Mastodon instance in the cloud the other day but it was too complicated.

Mastodon but with a light stylesheet.

I wrote a blog post about what I see as the unethical practice of calling people "users" and how we can do better. https://samuelhewitt.com/blog/2019-02-20-taking-the-user-out-of-design

I never know what to toot over here. On Twitter I've generally seen something (on Twitter) that provokes me so I tweet or subtweet about it.

the tactility of the board game is half the enjoyment

trying to get back into chess but playing the computer is no fun

it's toot o'clock

there's some wild masto instances out there

I could do the whole Twitter bridging thing but that's annoying

I'm gonna try and use this more, I put it on my bookmarks bar so I remember it exists.

Wider columns on here on the web would be 👌

Went and got an app for this, Mast on iOS. Pretty nice 👌🏻
