I don't know if it is general fedi culture that posting media not created by yourself is allowed or not, but I'm breaking this rule once because this is worth it and fuck DeSantis.
Mexican politics
Lately I've been paying a lot more attention to the state of politics in my country of Mexico. Now, I'm no political expert (far from it) but I feel like polarization is causing needless conflict. I feel like any political proposal that doesn't strive for union will only find more resistance against it. Relying on fear, hate, misinformation or opposition for opposition's sake is ultimately going to create more trouble than it might solve. It's almost like a distraction, I think.

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.

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

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

Don't use color alone to convey information. Marking required fields by only using colored labels won't help people who use screen readers or who can't distinguish colors. If using color, also add text like asterisks and/or "required."

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.

.Your Fat friends don't have to make you feel secure about your body.
.Disabled people aren't required to be "inspirational"
.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.
