A fun #UX dark pattern from an #NFL mailing list that I don't recall seeing before. To unsubscribe from all marketing emails, do you toggle the switch to the “on” position before saving? Or is it already in the correct position because you got here by clicking an Unsubscribe link? Time will tell…

A toggle switch on a web page in the “off” position, labelled “Unsubscribe All - Unsubscribe from all marketing emails.”

Interior reminds me a bit of the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre here in Dublin, which is also about to be redeveloped into an anonymous block. www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2026/0423/15… (Edited 8:41 via @skeetsapp.com)

It’s a good effort, but I wouldn’t say it’s *exceptionally* clear. Columns are too tightly-spaced, so you’ve got things like the “4” button being closer to the description for level 5 than the “5” button, which I bet still leads to mis-presses. (Edited 8:53 via @skeetsapp.com)

Guess they've got to pay for innovations like "AI-powered laundry" somehow.

Attempted to fix the dodgy screen connector that's plagued my @play.date since I got it on release, still not quite right though 😕 #playdate #diyelectronics

Doesn’t lead with it admittedly, but the only obit I’ve read featured this picture.

Appears the account is based in the US as far as X is concerned.

Remember watching him on Reporting Scotland when he looked about 12. A very fine journalist and broadcaster he was too.

To be fair, given the look he’s been sporting for most of the last 20 years, I barely recognised him myself.

It was no 1978 Fiat Supermirafiori, though.

Can’t be arsed to test their website.

The account is supposed to be like a bloke in the pub, not an academic paper. Their sources are incredibly easy to find just by pasting the text of their posts into the search engine of your choice.
