firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f

it does look like you can turn it off at least.

Gente que no ponรฉis texto alternativo en las fotos:
Por favor, recordad que las personas ciegas o con visiรณn reducida no sรฉ enteran de lo que estรกis publicando. Pero si ponรฉis una descripciรณn de la imagen, el lector de pantalla lee esa descripciรณn y entoces sรญ.
Me resulta sรบpertriste pasarme por ยซlocalยป y ver la mayorรญa de las fotos sin alt :_(

(Por si no pones el alt porque no sabes cรณmo ni dรณnde: al cargar la foto, si le das al lapicerito que sale en la parte de abajo, te lleva a la pantalla para introducirlo. La manera de describir la imagen es como si se lo contaras a alguien por telรฉfono)

If you follow me there's a good chance you're using/will use some of my pixel fonts: in that case, can I ask you a favor?

Can you please go and rate them on Itch? Thanks!

It's frustrating how many organisations are still using Twitter to announce important info to the public. There is no way for most people to see this info! Most people aren't on Twitter, and Twitter now requires a sign-on just to view profiles.

If you want to announce stuff to the public, the only way to make sure it's visible to everyone is to use your own website, your own blog, your own social media server. Anyone with an internet connection can see them.

laziness isnt real and calling someone lazy is probably ableism

A lot of the people bashing "car-centric", whatever that means, fail to consider that traffic would be solved if we got rid of these socialist sidewalks and just added one more lane. Trust bro, just one more lane. It'll be double the speed, trust me.

kinda going off the deep end here but now the car can cast its shadow onto the walls

it's kind of a ridiculously subtle effect, but it ties the mesh-geo, the raycaster-geo, and the skybox together, so uhhh maybe that's something

#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.

MattKC has a great short video about it:

Now is the best chance for us to have governments make laws protecting games from systemic destruction!

Australians - HURRY!

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

- Paid family leave
- Equal pay
- Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

In May 1988, legislation passed in the UK "prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. It was in effect for a decade and a half, with massive impact on the LGBT+ community. This is a brief history of Section 28.

The impact of a generation of people receiving next to no education about LGBT+ people existing is difficult to quantify, and difficult to measure. How do you even begin to measure the stigma, and the impact of over a decade of invisibility?

Even in 2014, a Stonewall survey found that 37% of primary school teachers didn't know if they were allowed to teach about LGBT+ issues. And even in 2019, anecdotal reports suggested some librarians thought Section 28 was still in effect.
