one of the things that makes me steaming mad is how the entire field of web apps ignores 100% of learned lessons from desktop apps— Sega Protogenesis (@gravislizard) November 6, 2017
With all the sharing that happens on social media seemingly showing all our peers and contemporaries winning at every project, I wanted to share something with you all that didn’t work out, in the hope that it may help you feel that it’s ok when things don’t go as planned…🪡🧵👇 pic.twitter.com/2wJS30otw5— Phoebe ‘Wander Woman’ Smith (@PhoebeRSmith) August 25, 2022
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. The 5th Circuit is perhaps the most conservative federal circuit court in the nation.— Sherrilyn Ifill (@SIfill_) August 26, 2022
This is your annual reminder that your choices for watching THE WIRE are:A. A ropey SD transfer from the early 2000s in 4x3.B. A nice HD transfer in 16x9.Now, one might conceivably say "but Devan!

Steve Troughton-Smith on Twitter - fixes for stage manager in iPadOS 16 beta
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.

As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.— Jordan Amaranth (they/them) (@JordanAmaranth) August 14, 2022
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
