Any meaningful UX testing in 2023 needs to account for ad blockers and password managers.

If your site or app doesn’t work with popular ad blockers, or it refuses to allow logins pasted in from password managers, it’s broken.

Yes, some executive type will want to argue about this because they think ad blocking will go away or they misunderstood some now outdated infosec guidance. They’re wrong. Users use ad blockers and password managers and if your stuff doesn’t work with them, it’s broken.

Please, science writers, don't name your axis "cum hazard". Spell it out in full.

Poll: Are you a macOS, MS-Windows or Linux or *BSD user? Please boost for reach. TIA.

"The hot news that nobody sane has been waiting for"--the Windows XP activation algorithm has been solved, meaning anyone can generate an authentic XP activation code. (I find it's a wonderful "sweet spot" resource for VMs, old enough to run most '90s apps and new enough for the GPU support to do it well.) https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/26/windows_xp_activation_cracked/

Finally finished the art for the next solitaire in my collection; it's themed around alchemy, and contains 10 suits with 26 cards each for a total of 260 cards (although 6 of those won't appear in the solitaire for reasons)

Doing a poll for science (below)

Question for developers releasing on Windows.

Is there an affordable way to sign installers for Windows for an open source project?

The code signing certificates I've seen all cost significantly more than the rate of donations to my project, but the friction unsigned installers cause is significant for the users.

Even better when you notice the decal on the top right of the rear window.

Made some improvements to the overview file included with 3D #gameassets:

1. Improved design for overall data
2. Link to knowledge base including documentation
3. Whether assets include vertex colors
4. Fixed issue which didn't display group count correctly

New assets soon!

Standing up is quite an effort after the blast. You hear the deadly sine wave and see the blue lights of a cop car reflected in the kitchen tiles. Not many moves left.
