Today I learned that the Alien franchise is owned by Disney, which means that every xenomorph egg that hatches, being a daughter of the xenomorph queen, is technically a Disney princess

I am once again begging people to create written manuals on websites for software-y things they make, and not just video tutorials. Tutorials are not reference guides, and videos are not ctrl+F -able.

Bunch of professional engineers followed me on my main Twitter acc recently so i can't post indulgent doodles like this there for a lil while(this is a real problem that matters)

So cool! A one-pixel-wide font that exploits subpixels.

Apple-the-Company pulling the same "We've got a monopoly in this space and can screw you" crap:

"Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to anything bought in your Patreon shop."

"Apple has also made clear that if creators on Patreon continue to use unsupported billing models or disable transactions in the iOS app, we will be at risk of having the entire app removed from their App Store."

It's happening, people. Google Chrome is moving to the Manifest V3 framework. If you haven't transitioned to a different browser yet, now's the time to do so.

A decent alternative is Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and if you want to go for full privacy-awareness, I've heard good things about LibreWolf:

Saludos, vengo a informar de #Venezuela

El gobierno golpista de Maduro está implementando un internet 'cercado' similar al chino. Bloqueando varios sitios web que nada le afectan si quiera al gobierno, por ejemplo Mercado Libre, Binance y varias plataformas de videojuegos según reportan varios usuarios de internet que han tenido inconvenientes con los servidores de varios juegos.

Está en boca de todos usar una #VPN como Proton u otros. En lo personal, ya me empiezo a preocupar por todo esto.

A member of one of my Discord groups told me of the unrest in #Venezuela . I was going to image copy her post, but now they have started scanning people's phones, so I will repost without her name. She first commented on July 29, 2024.

things user/profile systems fuck up, bad assumptions
- the user will never delete their account
- the user should be expected to individually delete their posts
- the user will never change their legal name
- the user will never change their email address
- the user will never change their phone number
- if they do change those things, surely they will think to use our change info ui before getting rid of their old name/phone number/email address
- the same as above, but with SSO linkages
