as much as this platform sucks balls after it was acquired by That Guy I think that for a non-profit group focused on protecting digital rights it is important to have as much reach as possible, so again, I get the sentiment, but this is shooting yourself in the foot with no real benefit

finally after years of searching, I present to you the .DS_Store

67 is gaining popularity over 69 because the economy is struggling. They want you to settle for smaller numbers. Shrinkflation.

I don't see the problem. I'm sure the requirements doc said: "User must be able to drag a file onto the fonts pane. While hovering, a large red 'do not drop here' symbol centered in an unthemed gray box should interpolate over to the upper right corner of the drop area. The gray box should be flush with the right edge of the drop area, but should remain unaligned off the top edge by seven pixels. The cursor should then change to the background-wait cursor for approximately one second, then change back. The entire application should now close spontaneously, and the cursor should switch to the standard add-a-copy cursor indefinitely. When the user finally releases the mouse button, the cursor can revert to normal, but no action should be taken." The devs crushed it on this one. I have no idea why you're complaining.

Wife explaining her husband's job to her close friend. Wife: "He sells software to companies." Her friend: "Oh nice, like apps?" Wife: "No. Big software. For running whole businesses." Friend: "Oh, like Microsoft?" Wife: "No. A German company. SAP." Friend: "What's SAP?" Long pause. Wife: "Well.... It's… hard to explain. Basically he flies somewhere, finds whats broken in their business, spends 18 months with fixing it, and then everyone panics on this thing called go-live or something." Friend: "And they pay him for that?" Wife: "Sometimes they fire him first. Then they call him back." 35+ years in this industry. She nailed it in 90 seconds.

Montréal vous souhaite une joyeuse St-Valentin.

Love this quote from @doctorow. Writing code" is about making code that runs well. "Software engineering" is about making code that fails well. (via #graceful-failure-modes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pluralistic.net/2026/01/06/100…)

Historic: Zohran Mamdani became the first NYC mayor to take his oath of office where the Ninja Turtles live. Millennials have officially taken power.

@_sonjawo @ProfBrianCox She's more general science than specifically space stuff but do you know acollierastro on YouTube? She's pretty cool.

i am falling into a deep obsession about space and cosmology due to @ProfBrianCox, so i’ll be watching every available youtube video about it for the foreseeable future
