Hello, everybody. I write articles about computing and I just published my fourth article in English on my website. You can find them here:
Articles section: http://www.grafotema.com/agullo/nov/index.en.html
Searching for usability: Seven window managers for Ubuntu (2012) http://www.grafotema.com/agullo/articulos/ubuntu/ubuntu.html
Replicant versus PureOS (2022) http://www.grafotema.com/agullo/articulos/pureos_versus_replicant.html
Replicant versus Android (2022) http://www.grafotema.com/agullo/articulos/replicant_versus_android/replicant_versus_android.html
The rise and fall of usability (2023) http://www.grafotema.com/agullo/articulos/usability/The_rise_and_fall_of_usability.html
As for this new article, The rise and fall of usability, it deals with the following subjects:
-Usability and its history.
-List of usability issues.
-List of usability losses.
-Analysis of usability trends.
The article disregards the matter of the freedom of software, but cares a lot for limitations imposed on users. GNU/Linux is mentioned once, as is Replicant. I considered including GNOME 3 amongst the list of usability losses, but discarded it at the end.
I know the website's design looks old - it is literally over twenty years old. If you find it hard to read the article with this design, you have a link to the PDF version at the beginning.
Kind regards,
Ignacio Agulló.
Wow! This is a big WOW!
I've just started reading your articles and had to pause to thank you! I feel lucky to have found your post and links!
For starters, I've been wondering about solutions for mobile for a good while (my phone is off 99% of the time now), but wasn't sure were to look for reliable information that I could trust and be able to put into practice. Thanks to your articles on Replicant I feel like the answer found me :)... Thank you also for writing about it so clearly and for adding a link to install it!
I am curious to read "The rise and fall of usability", will do that next!
