Theory: Older people aren't worse at discovering or using new technology. UIs are just worse at conveying function/intent

"Beginning users and many intermediates relied almost exclusively on visible cues for finding commands. They relied on (and found intuitive) menu bars and tool bars, but did not use pop-up (or “context”) menus, even after training."

"All but the most advanced users did not understand how to manage overlapping windows efficiently."

my sister once joked that I'm her very anxious cat's emotional support animal and it's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said about me

things are starting to come together in Outer WIlds after a homestuck

That instance had been running a block reporting bot for several months prior to the recent inflammation of that issue.

The admin has informed us that it is no longer active. This is a step in the right direction.

It is not enough to win back our trust, so vulpine.club will not be refederating with the instance at this time.

The Fediverse operates upon trust. And when that trust is breached it is not easy to reclaim.

Even when the block bot is a tool for showing a flaw in Mastodon's block protocol when working against bad actors, it is hardly excusable to deploy such a demonstration when the concern about such tools is that they enable harassment.

Keep this in mind when considering engaging in similar 'activism'.

Person B: What do you mean? I've never heard of such a thing! Fuck you!

An in-game Pokemon-themed videogame must exist, since every Pokemon game contains a Nintendo console inside the protagonist's own bedroom. And Pokemon has been a Nintendo mainstay ever since the first Pokemon game was released in our world.

Really makes you think.
