OK, back to Blackboard! It’s actually designed to look extremely attractive to the administrators (not professors and definitely not students) who make purchase decisions. Since they can't easily test usability, they instead make comparisons based on… checklists of features. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Blackboard is 20 years old. If Twitter is around in 20 years, let's see how this prediction holds up. And now I have to go rescue a three-month old from an extremely cute and equally uncomfortable outfit.

If you want the account to be unblocked, you just have to find a champion within Twitter who is willing to propose the unblocking; if consensus is reached you'll eventually only be able to log in once the account is unblocked in at least two supported Twitter clients

How can I explain privilege? 🤔

My dad owned an arcade. When I came in the manager flipped a switch so I had unlimited Ms Pac-Man lives

I thought this was normal. I had no idea other kids had to pay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got fairly good at the game, better than most

That's privilege

Stupid font idea for someone willing to do the work: Helveticarial, a derived font whose stroked outlines consist entirely of the bits and pieces left over when you subtract the overlapping regions of each Helvetica and Arial glyph.

Oooof. Was just subjected to the most credible phishing attempt I've experienced to date. Here were the steps:

1) "Hi, this is your bank. There was an attempt to use your card in Miami, Florida. Was this you?"

Me: no.

Tweaks Ali Spittel’s face tracking filter demo to include a “snapshot” button that creates an image you can right-click and save.

Next up: can I make this into a Micropub client to post directly to my site?

I wish more companies would realize that open APIs increase sales.

Only one user needs to add support for the API to @home_assistant or another IoT platform to allow people to do cool stuff with your product that will never be a product priority.

It will sell itself.

Welding and tech are two industries that are roughly the same age, yet one has internationally-accepted codes that ensure the work doesn’t endanger human lives, protects its workers’ rights with robust unions and safety practices, and has professional organizations that actually keep workers skills up to date.
Welding also pays more.
