Also, this works well for mobile, when buttons are gigantic and cutely rounded. Would this work for complex UIs where you need to put a lot in a screen (bank tools, CRMs, etc) ?
The State of Buttons (5min) interfacecafe.com/the-state-of...
Screenshot of the article showing Material Design buttons demonstrating container shape changes on press. When the button is active, the border radius is reduced, the color changes, and for some buttons, a little checkbox appears next to the selected one. Highlighted text reads: Besides changing color, the containers for toggle-able buttons changes shape, spreading out to match its depressed state and getting smaller and rounder when it's released.
It’s always complex to visually convey the state of toggle buttons to the users. Liam Spradlin argues that Material design’s “expressive buttons” solution that changes the shape of the container, on top of icons and sometimes name change works well. I’m curious if users agree.
It's all silly ideas I have for stickers but I need motivation to make them happen.
I was also debating making a "I crochet so I don't stab People" with a visual emphasis on people 😅
How unprofessional would it be to have stickers on my laptop that say:
- The horrors persist but so do I
- Born to ride dragons, forced to answer emails
- Fueled by coffee, music & books
- No, just, nope
- Didn't Stab Anyone Today. Yet.
Asking for a friend 😅
Propellant: @ethanmarcotte.com wrote this interesting article on the cost of AI tools and their military usage, because, in an industry leaking money, investors turn to public sector, and, of course, military usage, to secure funds. Yuk.

I didn't think of that. The nightmare
A young Asian woman lying holding a bag shaped like a mini metal Lidl shopping basket. A white young man on her right is holding the same type of bag, with a chain. They are both on top of a supermarket produce display with fruits and vegetables.
Soooo, Lidl trolley bag concept by Nik Bentel Studio, yes, nope?

If we want our work to be taken seriously, we need to stop using simplified “laws” that misrepresent the research. When design decisions are justified by slogans instead of evidence, the result is not simplicity. It is oversimplification.
I keep seeing Miller’s “magical number” (7±2) used to justify UI decisions, like the number of items in a menu or on a screen. This idea shows up in way too many “do and don’t” UX articles and UX/UI presentations. This magical number is usually stripped of context and presented as a design rule.
Your menu doesn’t need Miller’s 7±2 rule Be careful with anyone selling “magical” UX rules as universal answers
Your menu doesn’t need Miller’s 7±2 rule. Be careful with anyone selling “magical” UX rules as universal answers.
Miller’s 7±2 rule was about memory, not how many elements you can put on the screen.

3 little boxes with each 6 small planter pots for seedlings, with labels including basil, tomatoes, chives and coriander, displayed inside the new high tabler planter
Here we go, I created and laminated some labels and started some seedlings. I'm expecting 5 other types of tomatoes to arrive soon 😁
Coriander, cherry tomatoes and black basil come from previous year seeds, let's see if this works.
Haa I didn't notice you can do that, I will try thank you. I'm annoyed because it's an important topic, but also, I've see way more sexualized content without the tag (I don't mind personally, but, still strange this one got taggued)
Yeah @bsky.app why is this tagued as "adult content"? It's not! It's an illustration, the character is wearing underwear, and it shows which body parts are impacted by the endometriosis disease. Would a medial illustration be tagued as "adult" ???
Anyway spring arrived, expect some balcony gardening updates from me 😁
The fact that this thing fitted on my rear rack, but might not fit in most SUVs trunk (because of the legs) is quite fun too.
Also it's quite fun to take a lot of space, cars tend to avoid getting too close to you. For once none dared to overtake in a street where it's forbiden but they usually don't care when it's a bike. I should take more space that more often.
A 75cm x 35cm x 65cm plants raised garden bed, with a lid to turn it into a green house, next to my tern HSD semi cargo bike. The garden bed is bigger than the rear rack of the bike.
The same garden bed now upside down and attached in the rear rack of my bike, with multiple straps, while the rest of the gardening shopping is fixed in an Ikea bag at the front of the bike
Welcome to a new episode of delusional audacity. Today I was told I can buy it if I can bring it back.
Well, as long as it's under 80kg, and I have enough straps, I can bring back anything on my bike 😁
A translucent blue worry stone, shaped like a chubby cat with a sad face and a tail, some stars and a moon crescent in the middle. The stone is on top of a purple thank you card and a purple and gold little bag

I understand the VAT part, but 18€ fixed price, wow, I'm honestly annoyed because it's money that doesn't go to the creators. Curious how LaPost justifies 18€ of fixed price on a 27£ item...
This irony of paying 24€ of custom tax (VAT and 18€ of fixed price) on a 27£ item because I chose to order it from a small artisan, while people order crap from Temu and other non EU places everyday that go through customs without the ever getting taxed isn't lost on me... Fuck brexit I guess?
Loads of posters for Blink

D&D may not be the best game, but the d20 is the most fun to roll of any shape of dice
I hate D4 though, looking at you magic missiles... 🤨
Agreed the system is easy compared to many others (INS looking at you) and that dice is cute and fun 😁😁
Half dark elf, half sheep, fully defanged of the author's intented horror in the name of silliness and whimsy and whatnot. We killed him in seconds.
I went & found a Baldur's Gate 3 mod for arachnophobes to be able to play the game without suffering the sight of a single spider. Instead, all spiders are now sheep.
Behold the drider from act 2, with half the legs but twice the wool, prompting debate over the ethics of humanoid mutton consumption
Also, if you have period pain it's not "normal". A lot of doctors gazlight people. There is a saliva test with a 95% accuracy that can help diagnose it in certain countries.

Illustration of a person of color with dark curly hair lying face down on a yellow bed under a pink blanket one arm hanging toward a ringing alarm clock. Text above reads: It's a daily disease, not only during period. It affects bodies physically and mentally. It can impact as well social life, work life and school results.
Illustration of a curvy woman in underwear and pink skin tone standing. Arrows points to different parts of her body to illustrate the different pain areas or endometriosis: to shoulder pain, back pain, pelvic pain, pain during sex, heavy legs, bloating, endo belly diarrhea, constipation, fertility issues, chronic fatigue, pain during urination bowel movements and many more.
It's endometriosis awareness month.
Here are some illustrations, from Cécile Dormeau, that explains how it affects people in too many ways of the daily life, not just during periods.

This is your reminder that women exist in tech the rest of the year, not just in March. Same for queer, BIPoC, disabled people and every other marginalized group.
Stop inviting us just as a diversity token during the "month of" for your nice PR campaigns! And stop expecting free labor.
Thanks.
Several traditional Dutch windmills with large wooden blades on a waterfront. One prominent dark green windmill stands in the foreground next to wooden docks and buildings. Tall dry reeds line the water's edge under a clear blue sky with scattered white cloud
A giant wooden sculpture of Miffy (a large white bunny) dressed in traditional Dutch clothes with a colorful floral chest patch and striped skirt, and the traditional yellow wooden sandals.
Why is everything squeaking in the Netherlands, from bike chains to flags, trains?!?! With the amount of deep-fried food you would expect someone could grease those?
Also no newsletter this week due to me enjoying windmills and cheese.
The fox is the little gift I add to the orders so I don't currently sell it.
But you can check the other stickers on my shop including a capybara shop.stephaniewalter.design/b/be-cute-do...
