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)

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

Discarding translation, mirroring and inversion, there are only 900 4x4 fill patterns. #pico8

No Man's Sky UI
I really like how crafting in No Man's Sky happens by clicking on an empty slot. No extra screen or dedicated button, just click where you want the item you intend to craft!
REALLY wish that was also the case with recharging, repairs and the processor. With those, clicking on an empty slot lets you choose an item BUT you still gotta drag the item to the slot. Kind of a pain when you're playing with a trackball mouse.

I'm debating playing no man's sky on survival mode instead of normal

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executive type will want to argue about this because they think ad blocking will go away or they misunderstood some now outdated infosec guidance.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.
Hi sorry for the radio silence I've been immersed in No Man's Sky lol

"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/
