The number of people who choose to argue with experts based on something they read on the Internet is something to behold.

@davidho The other day someone was arguing about something I wrote and was bringing up things that had already been addressed in the original article. So, sometimes they don't even read the thing on the internet.

@Tutanota ChatMail servers with DeltaChat clients should be on that list. https://github.com/deltachat/chatmail You could even make Tuta compatible with that by implementing Autocrypt and QR code counterMITM key sharing.

When playtesting your game the most import thing to do is shut the fuck up. Don't help them. Don't tell them how to solve their problem. Just watch. Study the things they tried. Do this for a long time. Live their pain and confusion. Then go back and address what they struggled with. I see too many devs that jump in and help, then never fix the problem. Live their confusion.

@grumpygamer I think designers for other software interfaces make the same mistake all the time, too.

@alcinnz I still use FTP on my internal network every week to offload photos/videos to my file server from the cell phones in order to clear up space. I love that FTP is still so common on all devices!
