Kbin looks way too much like the latest version of Reddit that is over designed and cumbersome.

Plenty of third party apps popping up for lemmy with Apollo like UI/UX that is much better (like wefwef or Memmy for example).

Yeah I’m curious if all the people in the comments that say they are using and enjoying it also have friends that signed up or if it’s just all meme accounts.

What is there to do? Is it just meme accounts or did your friends start using it too?

I mostly use instagram to interact with IRL friends and follow some meme accounts, so I’m curious what this app even looks like if my friends aren’t on it.

I always find articles like this very odd because the cost of living can be so drastically different in different areas of the US.

Like, this headline makes sense to me if they only interviewed people living in California or another state that is pretty expensive to live in.

Yeah that makes sense. I have no problem using wefwef for the time being until these other apps iron the kinks out.

Yeah, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. It also let me log in but says I don’t subscribe to any communities (which is wrong) and doesn’t show many any communities when I use search.

Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.

I have way more bugs on Memmy. I can’t even reply to most comments in that app for some reason. Wefwef can be a little finicky but smoother overall for me.

I’d say that’s probably true for most younger people in the US as well.

There are obviously exceptions though. I like to golf and it’s (unsurprisingly in the US) normal to tip the bag guy at the end of a round that wipes down your clubs and cleans out your cart, so I keep cash on me that I handle somewhat regularly for that. But really that’s the only thing I can think of that I use cash for these days.

I’d assume some people also prefer to use cash when traveling to other countries since (in the US at least), using your debit/credit card in a foreign country can accrue significant fees.

I’ve just always been this way. I will catch myself going to wash my hands going from room to room in my house sometimes, but even I think that’s weird when I realize I’m doing it. I unapologetically wash my hands after handling anything like mail or packages as well. Might be slightly OCD in that regard. On the plus side, I didn’t get COVID until a few months ago for the first time.

wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.

I figure you’d audit it by examining the results, and if bias isn’t detectable in the results

I was just asking for more info on how you’d examine the results for bias since it would need to be pretty extreme like the example you gave to be identifiable as something worth investigating.

All good if you don’t have a more specific answer, I was just curious what your personal thoughts were here.

Right, that’s why I was trying to ask you for your opinion on what the threshold for “investigation worthy” results

That would be a pretty extreme bias to have, so yeah that would make sense. If it’s not so drastic it might be harder to spot by just looking at the results.

What would unbiased results look like?

Okay but how often are you touching your belt after you’re done in the bathroom and have washed your hands?

Definitely not. It’s what’s known as a “dark pattern” in the industry.

Oof, you’re talking to the wrong guy. I’m literally a user experience designer. Not even joking.

User interface just means the styling of the website. The colors, button styles, typography, line-spacing, imagery, etc. These guys usually build out pattern libraries or design systems for the UX guys and developers to work with.

User experience design is much more broad, hard to give a general definition. Basically try design “architect” I suppose, that creates blueprints based on data extrapolated through analytics and research.

Sometimes they go as far as to build out prototypes and deliverables for developers using the pattern library created by the UI designers.

This might be the only actual old person trait in this thread (OP included). The rest is basically just “I don’t want to be fucked over.”

Looks similar to Confluence but more of a pain to get set up.
