THREAD. It’s not getting much coverage, but an important & terrible decision was issued by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals this week - 3 wks after the 57th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

I think my preferred way to fix window placement/resizing on iPad’s Stage Manager is to not do any of the ‘smart’ repositioning or grid-snapping when interacted with via mouse/trackpad. I get how that could be nice with finger interaction, but I do not want it at all with a mouse— Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) August 20, 2022

Autism is genetic so a lot of moms won’t notice differences in their children, “your just like me when I was younger”. Lots of communities won’t notice either because the behaviors are prevalent in said community.— liya🦄 (@aaliyahmeeseeks) August 19, 2022

Interestingly, the app was first dubbed “Find my Family”. Management (read: Steve) found the entire idea of location tracking deeply creepy.

I frequently find myself in conversations w/ well-meaning people who’ll ask about crime, “Well, we have to do something about it!” And I ask them, “Then why support the same things we’ve always done, which plainly fail to prevent it, hurt people, & cost a fortune?” A dialogue:— Scott Hechinger (@ScottHech) July 11, 2022

He talks about the first decade in the US as simply "always feeling like he was a moron." Few helped him learn a new language and culture. He doesn't talk about it—but I sense it was very traumatic for him—and the racism came from all sides.— Alex Liu (劉祥天) (@alexanderxliu) June 19, 2022
