tl;dr: In a world where companies will fleece you, scammers will steal your grandmother's savings, your chat program algorithmically charts your gender, and your car's manufacturer sells analytics about the way you drive without a second thought:

The only thing that matters is kindness, and we could all do with a lot more of it.

Also, I'm going to go have a drink or two now. Holy hell, that little rant has been building up for a while now.

Lol “bias automation” is accurate

It was 1888 and furries were a thing already

Whenever I see analysis that says based on this growth chart, so and so product will have massive adoption and revenue in five years, I remember this tweet.

I just downloaded Sunset Solitaire, a #pico8 solitaire game by @johanpeitz and it's really fun.

It's 20% off for its launch. https://johanpeitz.itch.io/sunset-solitaire

My gender

Man, the remake of Riven looks great. It's almost surreal to experience these locations in actual real time 3D.

I feel personally attacked

I've saved exactly three textbooks from my undergraduate education, as totems of my electrical engineering roots. Although I was never a chip designer, my first couple jobs after graduation were adjacent in the semiconductor industry. Conway & Mead was a classic at the time.

RIP Lynn Conway

.And ffs People of Color don't have to make you feel better about your racist jokes and thoughts.

.LGBTQ+ People don't have to fit into your stereotype of them, to make you feel comfortable

.Women don't have to be maternal.

.Men don't have to be "strong and masculine".

.Older people don't have to be treated like children or be "sweet".

Feel free to add your own mini rant.

If the problem is cultural, the solution will not be technological.

Just a reminder that friends don't let friend use the Brave browser

Dark mode isn't the default in OSes for a reason folks. It's one of those accessibility aids that's grossly inaccessible to a ton of people.

Respect the OS settings if you're making an app!!!!!!!

If a user has chosen light mode and reduced motion, don't fucking launch with dark mode and swishy animations!

Don't be an asshole!

Too many devs are being absolute assholes!

Feel it, love it 🥰

Really sad to hear of Lynn Conway's passing. She made key advances in CPU design that ended up being an influence on everything we use today. http://www.myhusbandbetty.com/wordPressNEW/2024/06/11/lynn-conway-january-2-1938-june-9-2024/
