Starfleet UX designers learned that if they didn't make some bridge consoles explode, captains would ignore damage until the shields failed.

gay culture is doing something and then saying it's gay culture because you did it and you're gay

The problem with TV shows these days is that they just can't keep things on model. It's ridiculous.

I know Scott Adams is a bit of a controversial figure in some circles, but the 90s Dilbert TV show is a goddamn treasure.

It’s not hard to imagine these words coming out of the mouth of some Nazi officer, directed to the newly arrived at Auschwitz, is it? twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/1

Twitter killing the API for like and retweet notifications is probably a good thing.

It stops that circular feedback loop and makes it much easier to just not use Twitter. 🙃️

(I mean, I know that infinite scrolling and "Load more" type situations exist, but I always considered them sub-par compared to being able to jump multiple pages or directly to the start/end of a set.)

I'm digging around through various publicly available corporate/gov design systems to identify patterns and there's a weird one that I've noticed.

Hardly any of these have a pagination component. A few do, but the lack of universality surprises me.

Did someone come up with some UX wizardry at some point that made paging through things unnecessary? 🤔️

I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
