How did your relationship To your phone change?

Not mentioned on the article but present on the screenshots are the Login/Sign Up with Google buttons.

What a nightmare for UX are those, I have a experience to share.

On a client product that I was working as UX designer they have implemented the Google Sign Up option, and a huge problem is that by design, the Login button also works as a Sign Up button.

And a common user case was that people initially create their account with email/password, and later in the login page seeing the "Login with Google" button chooses to use it (even if is below the email/password form), and in many cases you got users that create secondary accounts accidentally. Is frequent that people have multiple emails accounts, even Google accounts, you never know.

My client have many support tickets from people mad because they think that his accounts was wiped because was empty.

I try to get the developers find a way to make that the Login With Google button didn't create an account, just check if an account was already created and then login, if not, show a message that an account with this Google account does not exist (like when you put a wrong email in the email/pass form!). But they told me that looking in the Google documentation was not possible (maybe it was).

Now I always try to avoid use third party logins because of that experience.

Of course this is besides the privacy concerns (logged in, Google can track your users) and the dependency problem (if your users Google account is deleted or they lost access, they lost access to the account on your product).

Hardcore History: Supernova in the East, part 5.

It's about Japan during the second world war and there's something about the absolutely insane Japanese mentality that lead civilians to commit mass suicide that captivated me.

The whole series, and really the whole of Hardcore History is absolutely amazing and even if you think you don't like history you absolutely should give it a try. Blueprint of Armageddon is still the best piece of entertainment I've ever had, regardless of media.

At this point I’d consider it major news if an in person conference is not canceled.

Same thing happened to me once. I called google support and they send me another phone.

-I was laid off ~60 days back. Being on H1B( I'm an indian, who attended school here and been living here since last 10 years) means either I gotta get a job in 2 months or pack my bag. I got a better job and I'm gonna start working on this monday :) - Good physical health, decent mental health. Universe have been very kind to me. I wish this kindness persists and I could become better self of myself.

Happy thanksgiving to y'all!

To be reunited with the woman I married who had a mental health crisis and divorced me in the throes of it. She could have ended up dead or homeless but somehow managed to stay safe enough that when police intervened and called her family she was able to get the help and diagnosis she needed.

We’ve been back together for nearly two years now but it’s really sinking in now how close we all came to losing her permanently to death or ending up another nameless face on the streets.
