When I was growing up, we had operating systems that exposed a lot of the technical details about their inner workings, and websites that let us use code to customize them, like MySpace and Geocities. UX designers in tech have since optimized away most of the stuff that allowed and encouraged people to learn to use technology and now people get confused by files and browser tabs. And as the knowledge shrinks, more and more things have to be simplified away. I only ever see it as a one way road.

A cartoon illustration of Kermit, The Hulk, and Yoda all sitting under a tree enjoying a picnic. Caption reads "They spent many sunny afternoons talking through shared experiences and sometimes they didn't talk at all."

Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped.

💥 70,000 signatures! 💥

...and the petition closes on June 8th.

Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful.

All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇
