It’s no freaking wonder that the Swiss government was like “yo, maybe pass.”

Fucking lmao

Whole article is a very fun read. I was expecting palantir was suing for like defamation or something, but it might actually be dumber than that

I mean designers would also be important in that equation, the problem is just that design has been cannibalized by marketing and branding

But like, where an engineer solves physics problems (and software developers solve logic problems), designers solve human problems. So ergonomics, intuitive controls, a design that has useful features for basic tasks and makes sense for daily life, that communicates saftey information in an effective and clear way, and accessibility, are all things a designer would be more suited to than an engineer

Unfortunately companies are increasingly corrupting the role of designers from “being the advocate of the end user” to being another bs marketing person who does whatever will look shiny and sell more units, while ignoring stuff that actually matters.

But design is also deeply important to building a thing that is well considered and doesnt suck

Its almost like bombs dont make a region more stable and capable of long lasting meaningful reform

*shocked pikachu face*

I definitely agree with asking questions first. I’ve tried to open by explaining how I see things in an effort to get folks to open up and share how they see them, and people are so used to that being an attempt to tell them to think something different they can kinda shut down and get defensive even just from that

Try to get them talking and engage with them sincerely. If we want to fix the problems we have to do the work to build a bigger coalition

The agency has since apologized and says it’s trying to fix the problem.

Something about “says it’s trying to fix the problem” is really funny to me 😭

😳

Thanks for the additional info!

Thank you! I really appreciate the help ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day blaze!

Thanks! Previously I had looked for a way to import settings and was unable to find it so that held me up, but I got all my comms imported so I’m gonna give piefed.zip a try as my new instance ☺️

Username is slightly different now, it was probably time for it to change
