I'm seeing a lot of self proclaimed allies who had no problem playing Hogwarts Legacy because "it's just a game" turn around and wish queer people a happy pride month. You can take your "love is love" and put it together with your "thoughts and prayers" in a box labelled "empty performative gestures I can pat myself on the back for". 🤬 #pride #wrath

Me: I won't discuss business in a room with an Alexa, because Amazon is my business competitor and they eavesdrop.
Various other folks: 
Today: Amazon to pay fine for eavesdropping. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/01/1179381126/amazon-alexa-ring-settlement

Everyone on earth has LGBTQ2+ people in their families whether they know it or not.
You can make them feel included and safe in schools, workplaces, and society, or you can promote painfully excluded lives that often lead to high suicide rates by being ignorant.
Choose kindness.

Just thinking about the Florida shit actually killing Pride celebrations there, and
this is the first Pride in I don't know how many years where it feels relevant again, instead of just an event to be hijacked by corporate interests? So that's gonna make next month interesting.
(remember kids, the first Pride was a riot, and it probably should be again, and you've got 2 weeks to buy uh, Pride supplies)

@mavica_again I don't know enough about this to make any kind of further discussion so I rest my case
re: Web dev rant
@mavica_again I'm rather annoyed at having to learn multiple languages / technologies to make one thing.
While not everything is bad nowadays and there have been improvements, things have also gotten more complicated over the years and I feel it's in big part due to having to keep HTML and CSS as standards (JS isn't perfect either but it's a whole other beast)
I dunno, I feel web dev is lacking simplicity.

Hard drive seeds have sprouted. They should add a platter every few weeks, and the outer shell usually forms by late September.

Problem: golf courses are an inefficient use of land.
Problem: Suburbs are an inefficient use of land
Dual solution: Overlay golf courses on suburbs, with tee spots and holes traversing different houses' front and back lawns
Web dev rant
Making a website nowadays sounds awful. You gotta learn so many languages, tools and other stuff even if you're making something small. WebAssembly looks interesting but it still has ways to go as long as it depends on HTML and JS
