You are only temporarily abled.

This is not a threat. It is a statement of fact.

RIP the man who was the absolute incarnation of XKCD's "one random dude holding up the entire internet". You may never have heard of David Mills, but your entire goddamn world depends on what he did.

touchHLE on iOS!

is it possible, technically? yes! look, ciciplusplus got it working :O

are we going to officially support it or provide builds? absolutely not. you need developer permissions and to launch the app with a debugger for the JIT to work at all…

strong believer in ineffective altruism. you can make someone's day with really very little money. i can't tell you my strategy due to goodhart's law though,

2024: "We have respirators that electrostatically capture viral particles, ventilation and filtration systems to clean indoor air, and UV lights to kill viruses."

1918: "That's incredible! What's it like living without all this illness?"

2024: "Oh, we don't actually use them."

So, instead of Microsoft Solitaire, I’m now using this and I’m very happy with it.
(I still need to find some alternative to Wordament, bah.)

Got tired of having this conversation over and over again so I just spent way too long making this:

I sat off-screen and listened to a peer's #layoffs at a major #tech company last week. I didn't even work there, and even with that distance, I am astounded and disgusted at the state of this industry, and the spinelessness of the proceedings.

If you haven't experienced one yet, let me tell you the playbook.

Y'all execs are so particular about abolishing remote work because human connections and face to face interactions are so important to you, until it's time to tell someone they're about to pay for a mistake you made.

And that's not even touching the elephant in the room, that these companies are making massive profits in what may be the greatest wealth transfer in all of human history?

Imagine calling your "for everyone" dating app T4T, then *afterwards* looking on the internet what T4T means, and THEN asking queer orgs to please stop using T4T or at least put an ad for them there

I'm laughing so hard rn

I'm not sure enough folks realize that :is()/:where(), and :not() can check _ancestor_ and _previous sibling_ conditions.

p:is(h2 + *) = paragraphs that are directly after an h2

p:not(blockquote *) = paragraphs that are not within blockquotes

I've used these techniques to simplify what would otherwise be rather unmaintainable selectors or may have previously required additional conditional classes.

If you are #trans and a US citizen, you should absolutely, 100% apply for a passport this year, whether you plan to travel or not. Yes, it costs $$, but you can self-select your gender without bureaucratic BS (thanks, Joe), and it lasts 10 years and is valid ID everywhere in the world. Whatever fascist laws your GOP reps are proposing in your state legislature about gender markers on IDs, you will have a federal document that reflects your actual gender. And if necessary, you can use it to leave the country.

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.

Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit
