@samhenrigold that image is missing the logo for hotspot :)

But then again, it is probably missing a dozen or more logos ;)

@samhenrigold #ux would like a word 😅

@samhenrigold oh, is it my turn to do laundry again?

@samhenrigold I can't even imagine it being explained TO me. Like Jesus h Christ how did we let this happen

@samhenrigold Round my way we also use the "find something" one for ring-pull tin cans…

@samhenrigold the pain at realising I somehow know most of these
And then thinking HOWWWW

@samhenrigold UI designers imagine it every waking moment. they also scream every waking moment

@samhenrigold At least three of these symbols look like something you'd see on the letterhead of a semi-respectable cult.

@samhenrigold I'd probably get the wifi one.. have seen news feed, but it's not anything I use.. most have never even seen...lol

@samhenrigold And if we flip the "news feed," we'll get back to "Wi-Fi."

@samhenrigold w a v e s 🌊

@samhenrigold sorry

@samhenrigold
Where is earth quake? Where is target? Why isn't one of these radiation?

@samhenrigold and now the same with arrows, the symbol for "stuff happens"

@samhenrigold Needs more #xkcd

@samhenrigold Ooh, I like the pyramid broadcasting into space symbol, it's very Stargate-y.

The "share media w/someone" icon looks more like a sylised moon orbiting a planet than a person.

@samhenrigold Don't forget the logo of @fernunihagen (a german university)

@samhenrigold it's all vibes

@samhenrigold
Also make sure to differentiate between "news feed (human-readable)" and "news feed (bare RSS XML, no it's not broken)"

@samhenrigold @codinghorror 😵‍💫

@samhenrigold @Auxonic Yes. And:

@samhenrigold @Auxonic or "the arrows in a circle - no, the OTHER arrows in a circle"

@samhenrigold I thought they ALL stood for NFC
no fuckin' clue

@samhenrigold

@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io same energy as the privacy icon being a hand

@samhenrigold you literally just explained it in the picture

@samhenrigold
So many wavies!

@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io I work for an ISP and I speak with at least three people a day who think the cell signal strength indicator on their phone is the wifi signal strength indicator

@samhenrigold no

@samhenrigold don't forget

@samhenrigold waves
Its all waves

@samhenrigold "Oh, that symbol means you have 5G, but it's the slower kind, not mmwave. And it's roaming. On a missile."

The fifth one is wifi but sideways. It's an important distinction

@samhenrigold Keep this going with motion sensor icons because it's like is the object vibrating, are they being hit with radio waves, does the object have cellular, etc. 🙃

@samhenrigold pretty confusing. I'm afraid it will only get worse with time - more of them... 😐

@samhenrigold bug report should always have a little bug

@samhenrigold

Isn't "also wifi?" used for IR comms?

@samhenrigold The second panel can also read as "audio" and if the curvy lines are on top of the phone it definitely means some sort of signal transmission.

@samhenrigold It's like that chart with the laundromat symbols
