Starmer can’t grovel deep enough in the hope of staving off negative attention from the White House and as any history of Trump shows, that doesn’t work. He throws everyone under the bus, as that’s what greedy monstrous bullies do.
Starmer really needs to look at the incalculable damage aligning with the US will do to the UK, and particularly to Northern Ireland.
He must be persuaded to take account of the Good Friday Agreement, the NI Protocol and ensure more alignment with the EU than with the US.
If he does not the UK will be a pariah with all its closest geographic neighbours.

BBC News - BBC World · Starmer: UK will keep 'cool head' after tariff announcementBy BBC News - BBC World

You know what would make life better for everyone? If the British left Northern Ireland and returned it to be part of an independent whole country, all of which is in the EU. Then Hilary wouldn’t have to try and boss Ireland or the EU over tariffs. What would work well also would be the UK aligning themselves with the EU, rather than cowering in acquiescence before the toxic bullying of the USA.

Epping Forest Guardian · Hilary Benn warns of ‘issue’ for NI if EU imposes tariffs in US trade disputeBy PA News Agency

Buenos días. Una cosa muy peligrosa de @moshidon, el cliente que uso para el fedi, es que, si bloqueas a un user, te sale un mensaje o diálogo previo antes de la acción. Pero si bloqueas un dominio o instancia, lo hace del tirón. Y las dos opciones de bloqueo están una al lado de la otra en la interfaz.

Ayer, queriendo bloquear a un user de .social, bloqueé toda la instancia sin querer. Aunque lo desbloqueé al instante, la metedura de pata tuvo como consecuencia que he dejado de seguir a varios centenares de usuaries que me toca ahora recuperar como buenamente pueda
😅😅

#UI

Just ran into a brutal #UI / #UX problem in LibreOffice Calc, on a Debian bookworm system, fully up to date.

1. Decide to print spreadsheet
2. Open print dialog
3. Preview is in the left pane, options in the right.
4. Scroll down in the options pane to find an option near the bottom.
5. Change setting, or not.
6. Scroll back up to the top of the options pane, using the pointing device vertical scroll wheel.
7. If the "number of copies" scrollbox happens to pass under the mouse pointer, it will rapidly increase the number of copies. It's not particularly obvious this is happening; it's easy to miss the value is changing.
8. Move the mouse pointer slightly up and scrolling the options pane continues.
9. Click "print".

Voila! 23 copies of what you wanted to print a single copy of.

I actually ran into this while trying to debug a totally different UI / UX bug 😱

How pathetic are the #DUP #TUV and their tame troll 🚮? It seems to have escaped their attention that they live in IRELAND, and this is our national language; it’s legal, it’s used in Courts, in Stormont; has been used by our MPs in House of Commons, and by various members of the royal family on State visits to Ireland - north and south.
No one is holding their heads in a fixed position or forcing them to read anything in Irish. All the signage will also be available in English, for those who cannot tell the difference between Beal Feriste and Belfast.
🚮 aka Jamie Bryson is trying to lodge legal objection against Irish Language signage with the courts.
We have so many problems, not least the reduction in PIPs and other benefits, the negative effects of the new ETA, the problems being caused by the American administration worldwide; and this kind of bigotry is what gets them up in the morning. Sigh

BelfastTelegraph.co.uk · DUP intends to put ‘marker down’ at Executive on Irish language signs at stationBy By David Young, PA

Dear Linux Developers,

For the love of whatever god, gods, or nothingness you believe in, stop making all your UI's grey text on grey backgrounds separated by grey lines. Please give me some contrast: blacks, whites, actual colours.

Thank you.

It took me an unbelievable amount of effort to get a gradient on screen. So, the way to do it (after much research and growling) is to make a gradient resource, then use that item as the texture in a StyleBoxTexture resource, basically the same concept as a CSS border-image. But I didn't need the slices. AND THEN apply that to a button.

I am annoyed by fake progress bars.

I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.

If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar. 🤬

And yes, #Mastodon image viewer, I'm talking about you. 🫵

That is all. Carry on.

#UI / #UX question.

You have a toggle for exclusive states "foo" and "bar" and the state name in the button. Clicking the button changes the state, and the name displayed inside the button.

Is the name in the button the current state, or the state you want to change to? What is your expectation?

I wish there was a modifier to Tab that you could hold to jump directly to the next text input, instead of the regular jump to the next interactable element.

The number of times I have to hit Tab multiple times to get across linkes or other stuff to get to what I actually want to do is too damned high.
