@beccadax Yeah, we live in a two-tier world, where flight software and other mission-critical components show that we know how to make systems reliable, but for the great majority of human-facing software we just...don't.
Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting. Literal astronauts with years of training can’t make our stuff work.

88×31-pixel pronoun buttons, now with the 8×8-pixel CGA font. (I already did them before but I've redrawn them.) All buttons except for "they/them" have pixel aspect ratio 5:12 which should be authentic. Web-safe palette. No rights reserved by me.
Download the buttons separately: https://qalle.neocities.org/88x31/#retropcpronoun
