  • The dev tools getting better over time has meant that it’s easier for us to make interfaces that can accommodate a lot of different screen sizes and zoom levels and accessibility stuff. But all those varieties of screen sizes means it’s very difficult to make those nice pixel-perfect interfaces and still work on most devices.

    And that’s not even taking into consideration the project manager yelling “FASTER FASTER FASTER” all day. A lot of us would love to return to hand-crafted interface design and take our time to make nice things. But software moved out of the nerd space and just became another place for the MBA’s to colonize. Now it’s all KPI’s and standups and soulless flat minimum viable products that never get improved.









  • Taking the gloves off could mean a couple of things:

    • putting lots of white people in camps / deporting them for disloyalty
    • killing people and saying it’s because they deserve to die (as opposed to current false self-defense claims)
    • replacing elected officials in ‘liberal’ areas by force / military style governance

    Basically, they’re still at least pretending the rule of law sticks. They’re arguing against court orders, not ignoring them. Claiming legal reasons for killings (even if video evidence obviously doesn’t agree). Talking about how they have to get their act together for elections, not saying they’ll ignore them.





  • Your friend, unfortunately, is probably doing what’s she’s been told is the right thing. Convincing her otherwise isn’t just about reasoning with her, it’s also overturning a lot of things that make her feel like she belongs to her group of people.

    Most people that mistreat others think they’re doing the right thing or are justified in some way. But peoples’ reasons don’t really matter compared to their actions. What she’s doing is being pretty terrible to you, even if she’s been told (or genuinely believes) that it’s an act of love.

    If she doesn’t cut it out, you’re more than justified in finding other people to hang out with.
